"Lanyu Yushu Garden" refers to Xie Anjia's idlers, and "Xu Xu Talented Man" describes Xie An's niece Xie Daowen, who was brought up by herself.
/kloc-For 0/700 years, if you ask who is the most admired by intellectuals in the history of China, there are two people who deserve it: Zhuge Liang and Xie An.
From the Southern Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, any famous poet's poetry anthology will definitely have a poem written for Xie An. The greatest contributor is Li Bai, who wrote more than 20 masterpieces for Xie An, such as: "An Shi is in Dongshan, and he has no intention to help the world. Vibration and cross flow together, success and chic "; "But I use Dongshan Xie Anshi to laugh at Jinghu Sand for you" and so on.
Xie An, whose name is An Shi, has the same name as Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi himself found it very interesting. After visiting Xie An's remains, he wrote a poem saying: My name is the same as yours.
So, what magic does Xie An have to make intellectuals fall in love with him for so many years? Li Bai was obsessed with Xie An all his life, almost to the point of worship.
If you look at Xie An's life, you will not only be shocked: a person can write such a perfect life! He has made great achievements that everyone dreams of, but he has always maintained his true temperament and childlike innocence, walking leisurely in the sinister officialdom, but the dirty water of officialdom has never splashed on him, which shows that he has great wisdom and great strategy.
Xie Anren is good-looking, smart and handsome, writes a good running script and plays the piano well, and his family is a famous Tang Chen family, so officials all come to ask him to be an official.
But Xie An doesn't like being an official. He has his life pursuit. I was forced to go out as a junior official for a month and soon ran away.
In order to avoid these disturbances, he left Jiankang for beautiful Huiji and built a house at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. He was really a hermit for 20 years, because he was too enterprising. Until the age of 40, Xie was in trouble and had to come back, accepted the invitation of Huan Wen, became a Sima under his account, and embarked on his official career.
You see, it's never too late to start life. Xie An began to mix with Sima at the age of 40 and reached the peak of his career.
In fact, the "Dongshan Little Demon" in the first 40 years was not so easy. He has to take care of many things in his family, especially his descendants. You know, for the gentry society at that time, children became unworthy, which directly related to the future social status of this family.
Xie An ranks third in the family.
Xie Yi, the eldest brother, has been a general of Anxi since the county magistrate, and has no time to take care of his children. A year later, General Anxi died, and the children were left to Xie An.
The second child Xie died long ago, leaving all the orphans to Xie An.
Old four is Xie Wan, especially out of tune. Xie An should not only help him with his children, but also cover up all kinds of absurd things he has done.
The fifth person, Xie Shi, was later the front-line coach of the Battle of Feishui;
Xie Tie, the sixth old man, once supported the army and served as the prefect. There are not many historical records, but there are some stories left for future generations.
These six brothers are dead, dead, all officials, and no one has time to educate their children. Only Xie An is an idle person. He wants to tell children poems, so that they can think and understand the truth of being a man; When they grow up, they should plan their future, find their relatives and find husbands for their daughters and nieces.
How many children are there? According to incomplete statistics, there are 1 1 sons and 4 daughters in historical materials. In fact, it must be more than that.
Among them, the commander of two famous battles, "The Battle of Huainan" and "The Battle of Feishui", the son of the boss Xie Yi, was the famous Xie Xuan; There is also a generation of talented women, Xie Daowen, the daughter of Xie Yi.
Xie Xuan has been a military commander all his life, starting from Sima, a small military commander under Huan Wen, and has always been the commander-in-chief and rider of the northern government.
As an adult, Xie An entered the court. The two uncles will make peace, and his northern government soldiers will be arranged by his uncle. When the morale of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was low with the thought of "fear of Qin", he won all five wars and defeated the former Qin Dynasty. This is the famous battle of Huainan.
It is he who is the pioneer of the northern government soldiers. Together with his uncle Xie Shi and cousin Xie Yan (son of Xie An), he defeated 900,000 troops of the former Qin Dynasty with 80,000 people, which directly led to the disintegration of the former Qin Dynasty. This is a famous battle at the foot of water in history. Speaking of it, before the Battle of Feishui, everyone was dizzy when they heard this platoon. Isn't this Xie An cronyism? His younger brother Xie Shi became the governor, and his son and nephew took part in the battle together! On second thought, the former Qin claimed to have 970,000 troops, while the Eastern Jin only had 80,000. No one is sure that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will win the battle. To put it bluntly, it is death. What is this, cronyism?
This handsome boy was very thoughtful when he was young. When he was about twenty years old, Xie An called the children together as usual and talked with them about the way of life. He asked a question to the effect that how do you face things in the world and make yourself talented?
Other children are thinking. Xie Xuan said: "It should grow freely in front of its own house like Yushu in Lan Zhi!"
Xie An is very satisfied with this nephew. It is actually meaningful for him to ask this question. At that time, the powerful minister Huan Wen was in power, and other departments were in danger. It turns out that Chen's influence is far behind that of the Langya Wangs, and there are not many descendants. Many of these children are in their twenties and have started to go around as officials. Xie An doesn't trust them.
The contrast between Xie Xuan's "Orchid Garden Yushu" implicitly shows that Xie's father and son should keep a low profile, talk less and do more, and handle their duties well. In fact, Xie Xuan did the same thing. He didn't take part in the party struggle under Huan Wen's account and didn't support Huan Wen, but he didn't do it to his face. He preserved his strength well until he finally became the commander-in-chief of the northern government.
Xie Daowen is Xie Xuan's sister.
Their father, the boss Xie Yi, first became a county magistrate, and later took over from his cousin Xie Shang, becoming the secretariat of Yuzhou and general Anxi. A year later, General Anxi died, and Xie Daowen and Xie Xuan became orphans and followed Xie An all the time.
The word given to Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions is: "Can pity and praise talents". Lin Daiyu's literary talent is comparable to that of Xie Daowen.
Xie Daowen is indeed the greatest talented woman of Gu Jie.
The story of Zancai is probably like this: When Xie Daowen was seven or eight years old, it snowed heavily in the south of the Yangtze River. Xie An called the children together and told them the meaning of the article. It's snowing even harder. Xie An asked: What is snow like?
Xie Lang (Xie Daowen's cousin) immediately replied: The air difference of salting can be simulated!
Xie Daowen thought for a moment, full of reverie, and said, "If catkins rise from the wind".
Xie An was very happy after hearing this and thought this niece was very talented.
Xie Daowen got the essence of heaven and earth. In the words of a literary friend, "Behind her, the gods are noisy". I'm the daughter of Xie Jia, Chen Jun of Gaomen, my uncle is the famous Xie An, my brother is the famous general Xie Xuan, and my husband is the son of Wang Xizhi, a famous Langya. ......
However, no matter what the external cause is, without the internal cause, Xie Daowen will be immortal.
Xie Daowen is so famous that Xie Xuan is proud of it. She despised her husband Wang Ningzhi, but the pirates rebelled and Wang Ningzhi was killed. Xie Daowen was fearless in a crisis, went out with his grandson in his arms, and personally killed several thieves. Since then, I have been widowed in Huiji, presiding over the chaos, and I still don't fall into the family style.
Xie Daowen was an outstanding representative of women in Wei and Jin Dynasties.
In the third year of Shengping, Xie Wan, Xie An's younger brother, was an unreliable old four. When he conquered Yan Qian, he could not comfort the soldiers and mistakenly thought that the enemy had arrived, causing his foot soldiers to panic and be in flight. Xie Wan also fled alone, but the sergeant didn't kill him for Xie An's sake, and was soon banished to Shu Ren.
This matter greatly threatened Xie's power, and Xie An had to leave Dongshan to embark on his official career. He is forty years old. This is a "comeback".
Xie An lived in seclusion for 20 years and began to be an official for 26 years at the age of 40. He was a generation of "romantic celebrities" when he lived in seclusion. When I was an official, I was a generation of "romantic celebrities".
He calmly defeated the authoritative conspiracy of Huan Wen, a powerful minister, and directed the battle of Feishui on a small scale. He presided over the overall situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for ten years, and the country was stable and the people were happy, which actually led to the "well-off period" in troubled times; You succeed in your romantic life, but you retreat in the torrent and throw away your reputation and power like garbage.
He is also a great calligrapher, musician and poet. It is the spiritual support of all people in the family, the idol of an era in society, the celebrity leader in Lin Quan, and the core of the whole country in the imperial court.
This is a generation of famous Xie An.
A person's tolerance, mind and spiritual strength can nourish everyone around him. So the children he taught by example are like a garden full of flowers and trees. Respectable and deplorable!
