ABSTRACT

The Wei and Jin dynasties were a period of great change in ancient Chinese history, and the deconstruction of politics and economy led to a shift from Confucianism to Taoism in terms of individual ideology, and the transition period starting from the Three Kingdoms period was the phenomenon of Confucianism and Taoism co-existing. Ji Kang was born in the Wei dynasty and was killed at the time of Sima's real power, and was a very typical literati in the early Wei and Jin dynasties. This paper will take Sound without Sorrow as an example to analyze the antagonism and harmony between Confucianism and Taoism in Ji Kang's literary and artistic thought, as well as Ji Kang's great contribution to the development of music aesthetics and its influence on later generations.
