ps:

Xie Lingyun in the Southern Dynasties was a writer who wrote a lot of landscape poems. He is smart and studious, has read many books, and has been deeply loved by his grandfather Xie Xuan since he was a child.

He was born into a noble family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the world called him "Xie" because he attacked the title of Gong. As a duke, he had no real power and was sent to Yongjia as a satrap. Xie Lingyun lamented his lack of talent, often leaving his official duties to go sightseeing. Later, he resigned and moved to Huiji, often drinking and having fun with friends. The local satrap sent someone to persuade him to restrain himself, but he scolded him. However, the landscape poems written by Xie Lingyun are deeply loved by people. Every time he wrote a new poem, he was immediately copied and spread quickly.

After Song Wendi ascended the throne, he was recalled to Beijing as an official and praised his poetry and calligraphy as "two treasures". Xie Lingyun is even more proud. He said, "There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian has eight buckets. I have to fight, and the world is divided into one battle. "

The idiom "gifted scholar" comes from this and describes people's extraordinary literary talent.
