Most of the literati have an indescribable character, is this necessarily related to the identity of the literati?

I think the identity of the literati and the character of the literati, although there is a certain link, but there is no inevitable link, a person's character or his education and the social environment he was in, as well as some of his innate self-belonging factors.

We are generally, in ancient times, all kinds of things are inferior, but only reading is high. The reading is considered to be the noblest status, that the identity of the literati is naturally noble up, literati, especially those who have the citizenship in the body, in the community are generally very respected, even in the remote mountain villages, read two years of books, can be held high to show off the Arthur.

A bunch of students get together, about the books and articles of different views of opinion and discussion, who persuaded who, who will be the first, and in general, students are allowed to talk about state affairs, on national affairs, and read the book of the sages, a group of like-minded people for a long time, the heart of a natural chi chun.

And talented people with strange character, generally can be tolerated, so-and-so character strange, but so-and-so also talented, then there is no thing, long seemed to have formed some traditional meaning.

As long as you have talent and a weird personality, you can be understood.

So their character actually comes mainly from their talent and learning, and the correlation with the identity of literati, I don't think it's very big, because of their talent and learning, they can only be called literati.

To say nothing of the literati is to say that in the ordinary in the ordinary people to talk about what he is good at, the eyes can be a few more points of light. It is the simple farmer, he talked about his own experience in farming, but also only a wave of pride.

In fact, not only the literati this group of many groups are, talented people will always have so two points of strange character, just the literati this group is relatively large, in this group is more visible.
