Xi Kang

Xi Kang

Xi Kang or Ji Kang (223–262) was a Chinese author, poet, Taoist philosopher, musician, and alchemist.

As a thinker, he wrote on longevity, music theory, politics and ethics. Among his works were "Yangsheng Lun" (Essay on Nourishing Life), "Shengwu Aile Lun" (on the Absence of Sentiments in Music), "Qin Fu" (A Composition on the Qin), and "Shisi Lun" (Discourse on Individuality). As a musician, Xi Kang composed a number of solo pieces for Qin.

Xi Kang was highly critical of Confucianism and challenged many social conventions of his time. As such he was considered scandalous and seditious. He was sentenced to death after offending Zhong Hui and Sima Zhao. Xi Kang was one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.
