3. How was Meng Jia's demeanor cultivated?
When people are ridiculed, Meng Jia can still deal with it calmly, it is reliable He has his own principled position in dealing with people. For example, he attached great importance to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Meng Jia was once apart as the governor Xie Yongzhi. When Xie died, he rushed to attend the funeral. Although during the Han and Jin Dynasties, his subordinates should be the top priority for their superiors to mourn, he knew the importance of the priority.
When the famous scholar Xu Xun invited Meng Jia halfway, Meng Jia said, "I'm going to Yi first, and I'll return you." Later, after completing Xie Yong's funeral, Meng Jia stayed at Xu Xun's office for two consecutive nights. "I know each other well, and I'm like an old friend." The first time I met, the two were like old friends.
Another example is when Meng Jia was working for the powerful minister Huan Wen, Huan Wen once said to Meng Jia gently: "People cannot be without power, so that I can control you."

Emperor Mu of Jin heard his name and wanted to summon Meng Jia in Dongtang. Meng Jia refused to leave on the pretext of foot disease and said that he could not do the etiquette of worship. The emperor still issued an edict to help him into Dongtang, allowing him to avoid meeting with him in various etiquettes. This fully shows that the emperor recognized Meng Jia's good character.
4. He died early due to alcohol and became famous for his future generations
Meng Jia's life not only did his best when he entered the court, but also maintained his principles of being a human being, and won praise from the emperor and his colleagues. When he lived in seclusion in the woods with his noble sentiment, he was also famous and well-known. This is true that Meng Jia is in hiding and is in office. Both are well-known and famous.
Meng Jia could only use alcohol to drown her sorrows because she was not used by Huan Wen. Although she was lucky enough to have her whole body, her body eventually died prematurely (53 years old), which was a pity. His life was mainly included in the "Book of Jin: Biography of Huan Wen" and the "Biography of Meng Fujun, the Chief General of the Jin Dynasty's Former Jin Dynasty's Conquest".
Meng Jia's grandson Tao Yuanming
Among them, "Biography of Meng Fujun, the chief general of the Jin Dynasty, the chief of the General of the Western Expedition", is a biography written by Tao Yuanming for his late grandfather Meng Jia. This article was written approximately in the first year of Yuanxing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (402), because his mother Meng died in this year, and Tao Yuanming was worried after the New Year. With his eagerness to miss his mother and full of admiration for his grandfather, Tao Yuanming wrote this biography of Meng Jia, full of noble and arrogant feelings and natural charm.
Through this biography, Tao Yuanming seemed to indirectly write about another self. Through the presentation of many romantic anecdotes, he restored the romantic and unrestrained nature of his grandfather Meng Jia, showing the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which happened to have the shadow of Tao Yuanming himself. This article reflects the imprint of family inheritance on Tao Yuanming, and also reveals the origin and inheritance of Tao Yuanming and the romantic relationship between the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

However, Meng Jia's premature death caused by alcoholism should be taken as a warning. The body is the capital of revolution. While we learn all kinds of skills, we must also pay attention to maintaining our bodies. Because without a strong body, no matter how much knowledge and master many skills, we cannot make greater contributions to the motherland and society. Finally, I wish you a happy Double Ninth Festival!
