Xie Lingyun was born in 385. Just two years ago, the Eastern Jin Dynasty won the Battle of Feishui, which was commanded by Xie Xuan, the grandfather of Xie Lingyun. Xie Lingyun's father is called Xie Xian. He was born without wisdom. Xie Xuan was very happy to see Xie Lingyun, who was successful in his youth. He said to the people around him, "I was born lucky!" " Influenced by the family environment, Xie Lingyun was eager to learn and read widely since childhood, and was appreciated by his uncle Xie Hun (the grandson of Xie An).
In 403, 19-year-old Xie Lingyun inherited the title of "Three Thousand Restaurant". Xie Lingyun was born in a noble family, and his temperament was bohemian. "The car clothes are glamorous, the clothes are changed, and the old system is changed." Leading the social fashion at that time. However, Xie Lingyun's career is not smooth. Because of his extreme personality and "much courtesy", the court "only treats him with words, not with reason" Xie Lingyun believes that "only people can participate in power" and "if you don't know, you will always be angry".
Second, stand alone in the world.
During Song Shaodi's reign, Xie Lingyun was released as the magistrate of Yongjia. Because of political frustration, Xie Lingyun was fond of mountains and rivers, so he "wandered around the counties at will and moved for more than ten days", and wherever he went, he "recited poems to pay tribute". Soon, Xie Lingyun said that he was ill, resigned, and "moved his mind". Here, he "created another career, relying on mountains and rivers to make the beauty of seclusion". Every time he writes a poem, "the nobles compete to write it, and between ancient and modern times, scholars are everywhere, admired far and near, and famous in Beijing."
After Song Wendi acceded to the throne, he recruited Xie Lingyun as an official, but Xie Lingyun disagreed. So Song Wendi asked Dr. Fan Tai, the doctor of Guanglu, to write a letter urging Xie Lingyun to be a waiter. Song Wendi was very appreciative of Xie Lingyun's "introduction every day" and praised Xie Lingyun's poetry and calligraphy as "two treasures". But Xie Lingyun was very unhappy, because the emperor only regarded him as a literary friend and didn't use him politically, so he resigned and went home.
Third, die with grievances.
Xie Lingyun's family is rich and likes mountains and rivers. "Digging mountains and lakes, no service" triggered local turmoil. On the other hand, Xie Lingyun despises local officials, so his relationship with the beloved magistrate of Huiji is very tense. Later, Meng Ai wrote to Song Wendi, falsely accusing Xie Lingyun of having ulterior motives and wanting to rebel. Song Wendi knew that Xie Lingyun had been falsely accused, so he appointed Xie Lingyun as Linchuan literature and history. During his tenure, Xie Lingyun still ran around and became the handle of some people.
Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng, who was in charge of state affairs, sent Zheng to catch Xie Lingyun. Unexpectedly, Xie Lingyun caught Zheng. However, Xie Lingyun was arrested, and Ting Wei believed that "Lingyun led the rebellion and he was sentenced to death". Song Wendi didn't want to kill Xie Lingyun, "just to be an official", but Liu Yikang disagreed, so Song Wendi had to exile him to Guangzhou. In 433, the local officials arrested several thieves, and one of them said that someone was going to save Xie Lingyun. As a result, Xie Lingyun was executed. It should be said that Xie Lingyun's death was an unjust case. He didn't want to rebel, just because he was born in a noble family and was arrogant, which offended many people, especially Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng.
