Huanyi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was extremely accomplished in music, known as the first person in Jiangzuo, extremely good at playing the flute, and could also play the kite, and was a wonderful person with seven tricks. He had a flute, which is said to have been made by Cai Yong out of Curtin bamboo and often played alone. The moon and night are clear, and the flute rhymes long, which is really overwhelming. The Tang Dynasty Du Mu's poem mentions the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is represented by Huan Yi's flute, "Yueming wants Huan Yi to be there, and a flute smells and blows "Out of the Plug" sadly", and the admiration jumps on the paper.
Huan Yi's reputation in flute art is too big, but it is easy to make people think that it is only with this talent that he has become famous in the world, and he has buried the hero a bit.
Huan Yi Zi Shu Xia, Xiao Zi Ye Wang (also known as Zi Ye), from the Huan clan of the Yu Kingdom, and Huan Wen's clan belonged to a different branch. Although Huan Yimendi is not tall, his personality is elegant and handsome, and he has a brave and strategic strategy, and he has made great achievements on the battlefield of Shuishui, saving the country in times of danger, which is not comparable to ordinary celebrities.
The East Jin River is on the left, and there are not a few celebrities. Although Wang Dao and Xie An were able to calm down the government and the opposition, they always felt the regret of insufficient masculinity. Heroic such as Wang Dun and Huan Wen, although they were momentarily popular, they seemed to lack a little elegance. Huan Yi was both of them and was a rare figure in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Taiyuan (383), Former Qin launched a major attack on the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Jin army won the Battle of Shuishui, with 80,000 victories over 250,000, which continued the life of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for decades. Huan Yi was then the governor of Yuzhou, the general of Xizhonglang, and the assassin of Yuzhou, and was appointed to lead an army of 80,000 enemies together with Xie Xuan and Xie Yan, took the initiative to launch a water crossing attack, seized the opportunity of chaos in the Qin army to fight hard head-on, and finally achieved great achievements. However, Huan Yi, as one of the main generals who participated in the war on the front line, was ignored to some extent.
Xie An, who was sitting in the rear, received the good news from the front, forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and pretended to say nothing: "The children have been broken thieves." Xie Shi, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, was Xie An's younger brother, and the generals who played an important role were Xie Xuan and Xie Yan, who were Xie An's sons and nephews, and indeed a junior. Xie An's words are generally good, but intentionally or unintentionally do not mention Huan Yi, who is equally important but not surnamed Xie, as if the credit is all for the Xie family.
In the "Biography of Xie Shi in the Book of Jin", "the defeat of Jian, although the merits began to be firm, became Xuan and Yan", and Huan Yi was also not mentioned.
Fortunately, the biographies of Xie Xuan and Huan Yi himself, as well as the records of the Zizhi Tongjian, are all tied by Xie Xuan, Xie Yan, and Huan Yi, each leading an elite 8,000 charge. In the tenth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty (385), the imperial court was knighted, and Huan Yi, Xie Xuan, and Xie Yan were all made county dukes, and were given the same level of honor. As far as the whole battle was concerned, Xie Xuan's role was indeed greater, but in terms of this water crossing attack that determined the outcome of the war and even the fate of the country, Huan Yi and Er Xie were on a par with each other and deserved to leave their names.
Daring to launch an active attack on the Qin army that shook the world with the threat of Annihilating Yan in Pingliang and was several times larger than itself, the courage was not insignificant, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable at the beginning, but I was afraid that I was also determined to fight to the death. The original text in the "Zizhi Tongjian" is that Huan Yi and Er Xie "led the troops to cross the water to strike", and judging from this "citation" word, it should be a pioneer, leading the charge, and in the case of the disparity in the number of enemies and us, it can be called courage to soar to the sky, arrogance and dry clouds.
This clip of the Shuishui Battlefield should be the highest moment of Huan Yi's life, very heroic. The 13 anecdotes in the "World Speaking New Language" are not much, and the verbal bold words and performance-style heroic acts account for 12, which is simply not worth mentioning compared with Huan Yi's arrogance of "although thousands of people are going to the battlefield".
Unfortunately, when the Tang Dynasty edited the Book of Jin, Huan Yi himself listed about such a special thing that deserves to be written in a big book, just a simple sentence, "with the champion general Xie Xuan and the auxiliary general Xie Yan broke through the water", it seems that it is only stained with Xie Xuan's light, because people have done things. Not only did it not write more, but it was even a little deliberately diluted, which is really regrettable.
In the Battle of Shuishui, Huan Yi mainly showed courage, and his talents in the general were not clearly demonstrated. However, Huan Yi was well known for his martial arts very early on, and he frequently participated in the military of various provinces, and his ability should not be bad.
More than ten years before the Battle of Shuishui, Huan Yi was selected by the imperial court because of his bravery, and was appointed as the Taishou of Huainan, leaving the northern border area of the town to defend Former Qin. After arriving in office, he lived up to expectations and defended against the enemy, and soon he was the governor of the twelve counties of Yu prefecture, the military of the five counties of Jiangxi in Yangzhou, the general Jianwei, and the Taishou of Liyang. In the sixth year of Taihe (371), Huan Yi broke the 20,000-step horse led by the Former Qin generals Wang Jian and Zhang Oyster, and was promoted to the military governor of Yuzhou, the general of Xizhonglang, and the assassin of Yuzhou.
Before Huan Yi, Yuzhou was controlled by Xie for a long time, and Xie Shang, Xie Yi, and Xie Wan successively served as the assassins of Yuzhou. Xie Shang's performance was actually average, Xie Yi died not long after taking office, and Xie Wan was bad. The Eastern Jin Dynasty confronted Former Qin, Yuzhou bore the brunt of it, Huan Yi did not have the advantage of the door, and was able to obtain this position, which should be because of his ability to resist the enemy and was sent to fight the fire. Although it is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, it is also an uncompromising hardship. Before the Battle of Shuishui, Huan Yi was in Yuzhou for more than ten years, and basically achieved the responsibility of defending the land, and his political achievements were good. Former Qin launched a large-scale attack, and Huan Yi naturally had the unshirkable responsibility to participate in the battle, made great contributions in the battlefield of Shuishui, and was also a hero created by the times.
If only by virtue of military ability, even if there is a great achievement in turning the tide of the tide and helping the building to fall, according to the tone of the people and goods of the famous people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Yi is afraid that it will be difficult to enter the circle of law. Because the door is not high, it may be discriminated against, and even be scorned as a "soldier" like Huan Wen.
However, Huan Yi is not just a samurai, and the elegance and elegance do not reduce others. The flute art mentioned above is Huan Yi's signature, and it also makes future generations admire it. However, there are two sides to the matter, this talent makes Huan Yi add a lot of points, but also brings some burdens, that is, he is often treated as a craftsman, and there is a certain sense of shame.
Cao Wei shi Wei was good at calligraphy, and was asked to write a plaque for the Inscription of the Lingyun Temple, and after writing it, he was deeply ashamed and warned his descendants not to learn to write the list book in the future. Xie An had tested Wang Xianzhi with this matter and wanted to ask him to give the newly created Taiji Hall an inscription, and Wang Xianzhi said that if there was such an arrangement for a contemptuous minister, it would be no wonder that Wei Zuo was not long, so Xie An retreated in frustration. In the Tang Dynasty, Yan Liben, because he was good at Danqing, was ordered by the emperor to sketch and paint on the spot, and he felt ashamed to be treated contemptuously. The truth of this matter is doubtful, but Yan Liben later became the prime minister, and it is true that he was ridiculed as having a background in the last skill and not being able to defend himself, because his talent was not small.
Books and paintings are like this, and music is even more so. Emperor Xiaowu of Jin once asked Huan Yi to play the flute at a court banquet, which meant huan Yi as a court musician, which was really a grievance. Huan Yi was ordered to play music without any resistance. In the Book of Jin, Huan Yi himself deliberately left a note in his biography, saying that Huan Yi "looked invincible", which naturally meant that he should not be unhappy but not unhappy, reflecting a high degree of elegance.
After playing the flute, Huan Yi also offered to play the kite, playing with one of his servants who was good at playing the flute. Emperor Xiaowu was even happier and readily agreed. So Huan Yi stroked the kite and sang, passionately sang a "Grievance Poem", using the allusion that Zhou Gongdan assisted King Wu but was attacked by rumors, reminding the monarchs not to have a gap between them.
At that time, Emperor Xiaowu was provoked by others, and he became suspicious of the ruling Xie An, and there was discord between the monarchs and his subjects. Huan Yi sang this, and the crowd naturally heard the string song and knew the meaning. Xie An actually changed his calmness and calmness, which had always been almost perverted, and shed tears on the spot, and even got up to tidy up Huan Yi's beard, praising Huan Yi's extraordinary skills and expressing his gratitude. Many people know that during the Northern Song Dynasty, Ding was said to be Shangguan Kou Zhun Shu Shu, but they did not know that Huan Yi had ordered Shangguan Xie An to slip his whiskers.
And Emperor Xiaowu was also quite embarrassed and ashamed. Huan Yi borrowed the title to play, and this tone did not have white patience.
At the request of the emperor, it was still humiliating, and Wang Huizhi had casually called on Huan Yi to play the flute for him, which was even more indignant.
Wang Huizhi stopped the ship for a while on the way to Beijing, and when he heard that Huan Yi passed by the shore, he sent someone to ask Huan Yi to play the flute. Huan Yi played the flute for three tones, which is said to be the later famous song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys". The two sides had never known each other, and they left each other, and did not talk a word from the beginning to the end. This incident has been passed down to this day and is still regarded as a good story that reflects the demeanor of the Jin people.
In fact, Wang Huizhi's behavior was quite rude, and his words were very rude and disrespectful. "Smell the gentleman and play the flute, try to play it for me", there is no admiration, more like a slave. Maybe you still think you can afford Huanyi, and you Huanyi should feel honored.
Wang Huizhi is the son of Wang Xizhi, born in the Langya Wang clan, holding the door noble, acting in a perverse manner, and has always had no one in sight, which is also a stinky problem that is accustomed to the circle. Huan Yi should not care about the indecent amount of elegance, when the wang emblem does not exist, which makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, most of them will be hard-hearted, Huan Yi is a person with rich feelings, obvious melancholy temperament, and even close to depression.
Whenever Huan Yi hears the songs of others, he is always embarrassed and calls for "Naihe", as if there is a hidden pain in his heart, much like Ruan Yuan's weeping. Xie Antong is a music enthusiast, and he understands this very well, and evaluates Huan Yi as "a past with deep feelings", which is also the source of the idiom "one past deep affection".
The affection is deep and almost obsessive, but the relationship between the love is a bit elusive. Huan Yi had nothing to do, and did not explain in detail, it looked a bit unexplained. "Life is a lover, this hatred is not related to the wind and the moon", these two words of the Song dynasty Ouyang Xiu are suitable for Huan Yi.
Xie An was a confidant and may have known Huan Yi's thoughts, but did not point it out. Maybe to say it, there is no such thing as if there is none, and it is also true and illusory. If you insist on exploring, it is probably because the ambition is difficult to achieve.
Huan Yi was in the Shuishui Battlefield, collecting the scattered and damaged armor of the Former Qin defeated army, and constantly repairing it when there was no war, and made up a complete set of war horse armor for 100 sets and 500 sets of infantry armor. Don't forget the danger, the trimmer has the battle, Huan Yi is also a person with a heart. As a result, it was not useful until his death, so he made arrangements in advance and prepared a seal in advance for people to enter the imperial court after his death. The table states that he hopes to serve the country and destroy the enemy, but he is too old to achieve it, and he has become a grudge in this life, which is very sad to read.
In fact, the reason why it is impossible to get what is desired is mainly because the country has neither this mind nor the strength. Huan Yi should have known this long ago, and did not hold out any hopes, saying that he was probably taking care of the face of the imperial court. If you can't make it up to yourself, of course, you can only call "What".
Therefore, shortly after the Battle of Shuishui, Huan Yi succeeded the deceased Huan Chong in Jiangzhou, and the first thing he did was to ask for the people's orders, and according to the situation that Jiangzhou had been greatly wasted and the harvest had been failed for many years, he requested that the counties be exempted from the outstanding rice arrears. Huan Yi was originally good at caring for the people, and he was very popular in Yuzhou for more than ten years, but this move in Jiangzhou is also likely to consider that since there can be no big military action, it is better to simply rest with the people. After that, Huan Yi took office in Jiangzhou, and has always been lenient and benevolent, and the people of Jiangzhou have been lucky enough to live a few relatively good days.
Ambition is difficult to reward, so he had to retreat to the second place, and Huan Yi could only do so.
This is Huan Yi, who is both a fierce general, a famous soldier, and a loyal subject. Huan Yi combines pride, talent and sorrow, and should be able to become a perfect idol. Unfortunately, in the impression of posterity, it seems that only the flute art is left. If Huan Yi knew, he didn't know if he would let out a long sigh.
