The
Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove were a group of Chinese scholars,
poets, artists and musicians of the mid-3rd century AD who banded
together to escape from the hypocrisy and danger of the official
world to a life of drinking wine, playing music and writing
verse in the country. Their retreat was typical of the Taoist-oriented
ch'ing-t'an ("pure conversation") movement that advocated freedom
of individual expression and as much as possible, escape from
extremely corrupt politics. Their ideal consisted in following
their impulses and acting spontaneously. Their outstanding collective
characteristic was their sensitivity to the beauties of nature.
