Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Xie Daowen and Xie Xuan, what is their relationship?

There is a poem that many people are familiar with, "In the old days, Xieyan Wang flew into the homes of ordinary people".

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Wangs and Xie Jia were normal and famous giants. How luxurious are they? The emperor still has to look at the glances of these two families.

Of course, with the development of history, several other big families appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, such as the Heng family and the Yu family.

They are all giants and high officials, and most of the famous players come from these families.

Of course, the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun are two powerful families with a long history.

These wealthy families intermarry with each other and form a stable political pattern through political marriage. Generally, there is little room for the lower class to rise.

Go back to the relationship between these four people.

Many people have heard the name of Wang Xizhi, who is the most famous calligrapher in the history of China. Wang Xizhi changed regular script, developed cursive script and established the status of running script. Wang Xizhi's wife was her daughter, and the Yun family was also a big family at that time.

Wang Xizhi

Wang Xianzhi, Wang Xizhi's youngest son, has seven sons, among which Wang Xianzhi, the youngest son, has the highest achievement in calligraphy. Of course, the other six sons also have a considerable level. Wang Xianzhi's achievements and status in calligraphy are almost equal to that of his father Wang Xizhi. Who did Wang Xianzhi marry? Chi Daomo, the daughter of Tan, the second son of a famous minister in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Wang Xianzhi

Who's Xie Daowen? Xie Jia's daughter, the niece of Xie An, the prime minister at that time, and the daughter of Xie Yi, the general of Anxi, was a famous poetess in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. She was called a "catkin-singing genius" for her story of singing snow.

As we said, the four families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty intermarried with each other in order to achieve political stability. Therefore, when Xie Daowen reached marriageable age, she married Wang Ningzhi, the second son of the book sage Wang Xizhi. Her husband, Wang Ningzhi, was the satrap of Huiji. When he resisted Lu Xun's rebellion, the city was broken and Sun En pardoned him. After Wang Ningzhi's death, he lived alone in Huijili and never remarried. ?

Xie Daowen

Who's Xie Xuan? It's Xie Daowen's brother. Its most famous achievement is the victory in the Battle of Feishui. Of course, other people's poems and calligraphy works are also very strong. Who did Xie Xuan marry? The original match was Yang's, and later he married Heng's daughter.
