There were many romantic celebrities in the Jin Dynasty, some were arrogant, some were chic, some were uninhibited... some women wished they were born in those eras and spent the rest of their lives with those romantic talents. In fact, women in the Jin Dynasty were also good, not inferior to men at all. In other words, there were many female celebrities in the Jin Dynasty, and Xie Daoyun was one of them.
Xie Daoyun was born into a distinguished family. She is the niece of Xie An, the famous general who won the "Battle of Feishui", the daughter of General Xie Yi of Anxi, the second daughter-in-law of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, and the wife of Wang Ningzhi, the son of Wang Xizhi; Xie Daoyun is a talented scholar. , very intelligent, brave and decisive, with elegant taste, she was a female poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The biography of "Book of Jin" tells that she has "elegant charm" and "a relaxed expression, with the atmosphere of the forest."
"Book of Jin·Biography of Wang Ning's Wife Xie" says: "Wang Ning's wife Xie Daoyun is smart. When the snow fell suddenly, my uncle Xie An said, "What's the plan?" Brother An said, "You can spread the salt in the air to make a difference." Dao Yun said, "It's not like catkins blowing up due to the wind." "An Dayue, everyone agrees." Therefore, later generations praised women who were good at poetry and writing as "Yong Xucai". Xie Daoyun's literary talents once impressed her brother-in-law Wang Xianzhi. It is said that Xie Daoyun once argued for Wang Xianzhi.
Wang Xianzhi, the youngest son (the seventh) of the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi, passed down his mantle and learned its true meaning, and was collectively called the "Two Kings" by later generations. The famous people in the Jin Dynasty loved to talk. With a stick of incense, a cup of tea or a glass of wine, they could talk endlessly day and night. Wang Xianzhi was no exception. He often invited the top figures in the literary world to gather at his home and debate among the masters, which was a great pleasure.
Once, when Wang Xianzhi was discussing poetry with his friends, he was embarrassed and was at a disadvantage for a while. Xie Daoyun, who was passing by, learned of the dilemma and wanted to help him, so he sent a maid to quietly hand him a piece of paper. The note read, "I want to save Xiao Lang from the siege."
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the etiquette of not being intimate between men and women also gradually became more important. Although ladies from the ladies occasionally participated in casual conversations, they would put up green silk curtains to cover themselves, so that the male guests talking to them would not I can only hear his voice but not see his charming face.
The guests present were speechless and resigned to being the weakest in reasoning. Let Xie Daoyun successfully resolve the dispute for his brother-in-law.
Xie Daoyun's temperament of "the mountain collapses but remains unchanged" is not only reflected in the debate, but also in her breakthrough for her husband. A weak woman, in times of crisis, when her husband placed his hope in gods and Buddhas, she was fearless in the face of danger, stood up and led her family to break out of the encirclement.
Xie Daoyun has been married to the Wang family for decades, and she has mastered the virtues of a woman, being gentle, kind, respectful, frugal and tolerant. Everyone thinks that she is a rare and good daughter-in-law. In ten years, under Xie An's recommendation, Wang Ningzhi was promoted from the governor of Jiangzhou and general Zuo to the internal historian of Kuaiji in charge of the military and political power of a county. Although many people in the two Jin Dynasties lived in drunken dreams and seemed free and elegant, in fact the Eastern Jin Dynasty was a dynasty that was on the verge of collapse due to frequent foreign affairs. When Wang Ningzhi was serving as the internal history of Kuaiji, the "Sun En Difficulty" occurred.
The "Book of Jin·Biography of Lienu" records: "(Dao Yun) was in trouble with Sun En, and he acted with ease. After hearing that his husband and his disciples had been killed by thieves, he ordered his maid Jianyu to go out with a sword. When the rebels arrived, they killed several people and were captured. His grandson Liu Tao was several years old, and the thieves wanted to kill him again. Dao Yun said, "The matter is in the king's family, why should he be like this? I'd rather kill him first!" "Although En is cruel, he can change his appearance, but it will not harm Tao."
The traitor Sun En rebelled and killed him in front of the door. Wang Ningzhi still prayed to God and prayed silently behind closed doors every day, thinking that he was the ancestor of Taoism. It will definitely protect the lives of a county. On the other hand, when Xie Daoyun's persuasion failed, she followed her uncle Xie An's example of "doing everything according to destiny," and personally recruited hundreds of soldiers to train every day to form a commando team.
Sun En's army marched straight in, and Wang Ningzhi fled in a hurry. He was intercepted near the city gate and his head was beheaded in a daze. Xie Daoyun was calm and composed, and led the team to break out of the city despite the chaos. With the sword in hand, she rushed out on a carriage and rushed to the street. Just like she was chatting and laughing behind the Qingling curtain, her courage and strategy were admirable and heart-wrenching. .
Although she was brave and invincible, she eventually became a prisoner of the bandits. However, her words and deeds made the bandits Sun En also feel heartbroken. He treated her differently and ordered people to send her back to her former home. . Since then, Xie Daoyun has been living as a widow in Kuaiji.
Xie Daoyun, whose family was broken up and widowed in Kuaiji, did not live a life of self-pity and resentment because of this difficulty, and her character did not change due to the changes in the world. She was still so calm and calm, and she was famous for it. The students preached, taught and solved their doubts, benefiting many people.
After Sun En's rebellion was over, Liu Liusu, the new governor, visited Xie Daoyun. Afterwards, Liu Liusu often said to people: "Ms. Nei Shi has a noble demeanor, impeccable diction, and is sincere and touching. A discussion will be of endless benefit." ("Shishuo Xinyu Xianyuan")
" At that time, there was no one better than the one who sang the poems about snow. An elegant person has a profound heart and a beautiful mouth. It is difficult to imitate this. Painting a tiger might resemble a dog. It is expected that such a woman would be constantly praised and admired by the writings of later generations of talents and beauties.
