In 382 AD, Fu Jian, the former emperor of Qin Dynasty, unified northern China, and the following year he led more than 900,000 troops south to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The vanguard of Qin Jun was 250,000 people, led by Fu Jian's younger brother Fu Rong, and soon occupied Shouyang (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province). In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie Shi, the brother of Xie An (Xie Xuan's uncle), was the conquering governor, and Xie Xuan (Xie Lingyun's grandfather) was the pioneer governor. The battle of Surabaya defeated the powerful Fu Rongjun and made great achievements. As a result, Xie Xuan has added Xu, Yan, Qing, Ji, You and other counties, and made it (for thousands of years now) public, with 2,000 food cities. Xie Xuansheng has two sons, the eldest son Xie and the youngest son Xie Qiong (or). Xie died at the age of 26, but he gave birth to four sons, namely Xie Gongren, Xie Gongxiao, Xie Gongyi. Xie Gongyi, whose name is Lingyun, is Xie's youngest son. Born in the tenth year of Taiyuan (AD 385). He is beautiful, intelligent and diligent. Xie Xuan regarded it as the apple of his eye and once lamented: "I gave birth to Xie Wanghuan. Although he is stupid, he gave birth to a clever son like Lingyun!" When Xie Lingyun was 4 years old, his grandfather was seriously ill. Before he died, he earnestly urged his family to bring good luck and cultivate talents. In 393 AD, when Xie Lingyun was eight years old, he inherited the public and thanked the world, and still ate 2,000 households. When Xie Lingyun was fifteen, he visited Wuyi, the former residence of Kyoto, and was highly valued by his uncle. He praised: the beauty of the article is beyond Jiang Zuo (referring to the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, that is, the excavation area in the Southern Dynasties). In the first year of the Eastern Jin Emperor Yi (405), Xie Lingyun was 20 years old and joined the army as the master of Langya, and later served as the military attache and assistant minister of Zhongshu. In the first year of Yong Chu, Emperor Wu of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties (420), after Liu Yu was promoted to Song State, Xie Lingyun's title was reduced to leisure, and the food city was changed to 500, becoming a regular servant of scattered riding and turning to the left-back rate of the prince. In the third year of Yongzheng (422), Xie Lingyun was demoted as the prefect of Yongjia because Liu Song always had doubts about the Xie family. Xie Lingyun, who relies on famous families, is brilliant and arrogant. He once said that there is only one stone in the world. Cao Zhi, a poet in Jian 'an, won eight fights and I won one fight. The rest of the fight was fought by celebrities from ancient and modern times. He is arrogant and thinks that he should be highly valued politically. Unexpectedly, he was excluded by the imperial court and transferred from Beijing to Jiankang (now Nanjing). So in the county, I feel bored, ignore government affairs and blindly indulge in mountains and rivers. Write poems and songs on weekdays to vent your grievances. A year later, he resigned due to illness.
In the third year of Yuanjia (426), in order to consolidate his rule, Emperor Yilong adopted the policy of netting aristocratic families. Because of his great fame, Xie Lingyun was recruited as the secretary supervisor and was ordered to compile the History of Jin Dynasty. But it didn't take long for Xie Lingyun to see that the emperor respected him on the surface, but actually "just received him literally", only let him act as a literary attendant, and there was no political intention to appoint him. However, the people who are really reused in North Korea are people whose fame and talent are far less than his. Soon, Xie Lingyun quit his job and returned to Xining, or chanted with friends, or led hundreds of followers in and out of the ravine to explore the wonders and win.
Xie Lingyun likes to climb mountains and likes to climb quiet and steep peaks. He dared to climb rock peaks as high as tens of feet, which can be said to be the first pioneer of ancient rock climbing. He often wears a Shuang Mu spike shoe when climbing a mountain, and takes off the nail of his front palm when climbing the mountain, and the nail of his back palm when going down the mountain. Therefore, going up and down the mountain is particularly labor-saving and safe, which is the famous "thank you". In the eighth year of Yuanjia, Liu (43 1) made him a civil history of Linchuan, but he still didn't care about politics, and he traveled all day, and was corrected by the local officials as a punishment. Xie Lingyun refused to accept it, but detained the relevant officials. He also wrote a poem: "The ovaries are excited, and Qin Rudi is even ashamed." Originally from Jianghai, he is a loyal and righteous gentleman. "Compare Liu Song to the Qin regime, and compare ourselves to Lv Zhonglian, suggesting that we should avenge national subjugation like them. This kind of behavior and speech aggravated his crime and was sentenced to exile in Guangzhou without the death penalty. However, just arrived in Guangzhou, the official documents of the imperial court arrived again, falsely accusing him of committing new treason and ordering on-the-spot execution. In the 10th year of Yuanjia (433), Xie Lingyun was sentenced to abandon the city in Guangzhou (beheaded in the street) and died at the age of 49. A generation of literary giants, like a meteor, flashed a brief and dazzling light in the historical sky, fleeting.
Xie Lingyun is brilliant, and his main achievement in literature lies in his landscape poems. From the beginning, landscape poetry has become a major school in the history of China literature. In addition to poetry and prose creation, he is also familiar with history, Buddhism, philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and also has works in calligraphy and painting. Song Wendi and Liu Yilong once praised his poems and ci as "two treasures". It is also closely related to Hui Yuan, a famous monk of Tolin Temple in Lushan Mountain. Although Hui Yuan is fifty years older than him, they still hit it off. After Hui Yuan's death, he wrote a famous article "Master Hui Yuan of Lushan Mountain", which was expensive in Luoyang for a period of time.
Thanks to Xie Lingyun's food and entertainment, his influence in Wanzai County is far-reaching, and he has become a well-known figure of women and children throughout the ages. Everyone surnamed Xie in this county is well-known to him, and they will all talk about Xie Gong's happiness and be proud of it. Not only that, all the literati in the county and even the county government have great respect for Xie Lingyun. According to the county records, in the seventh year of the end of Yuan Dynasty (1347), the monk was partial to raise funds, and the dragon king of Yi nationality built a bridge in Dingtian, ten miles northeast of the county seat, and named it Lekang Bridge after Lekang Houling. This bridge is the largest stone bridge in Kangle County (now Wanzai County), with four piers and five holes, with a total length of 98 meters. It is the only bridge to Yifeng and Tonggu. Now it still crosses the Shuhe River steadily. Another river, called Le Kang Water, is located 30 miles northeast of the city. The Century newspaper said, "Thank you for tasting here, because of its name. Originated in Xieshan Mountain, it flows out of Xijiang Bridge, Huangtian Bridge, Jinjiang Bridge and Viva Bridge in the east, and meanders along the Gaogao River in Qiujiang River. "
To commemorate Xie Lingyun, the county built three amusement shrines before the Ming Dynasty, one of which was beside the Shuangjiang Bridge in Xiaoshui, the east of the county. Secondly, it was built on the left side of Lekang Bridge from Yuan Dynasty, and Ouyang Yuan wrote: Le Kang Temple. The third is the cedar pavilion in the northeast of the county, called "Xianggong Temple". Gong Hegen, deputy director of Qingyi, once wrote a five-character poem "Xie Temple": "Sir, I am grateful to you for the Six Dynasties Show. Send a rhyme and a cigarette, super happy to come down from the mountain. You are poor, you are poor. Han Yi is a member of the Cloud Committee, looking for a purpose to pay for the genus. The barren temple supports the rock, and the portrait worships the foot of the mountain. In the empty and dark dust, the ancient seats are covered with moss. Although Rong Fan was handed down from generation to generation, the emblem was moved. Looking at the recommended seaweed, it is high-spirited and vulgar. "
In order to make literature prosperous, encourage future generations to study hard and strive for fame, especially a talented recreational man like Xie Lingyun, there were two reading halls in Wanzai County in Qing Dynasty. One is in the north of the county seat, where the name is Canyon, and the inkstone on the stage still exists. The second is in Erli, northeast of the county seat, where the place is called Changtang, which was later converted into a public temple.
