On a snowy day in the middle of winter in 358 AD, Xie Daoyun, who was only 8 years old, went to his uncle Xie An's house to play and play. At noon, the snowflakes were fluttering in the sky, and it was very beautiful to look at, facing the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xie An looked down and asked his niece Xie Daoyun and nephew Xie Lang: The scenery is difficult to find, can there be no poetry?! How about we let's chant snow lyrically?
After saying that, Taifu Xie'an opened his mouth and said: What is the snow like? The little boy Xie Lang smiled and replied: Sprinkling salt in the air is almost comparable. Xie An listened to the twist for a moment, and then turned his eyes to the little niece Xie Daoyun, who opened his mouth without hurrying and said: "If the willow is not raised by the wind."
Xie Daoyun's verse of Yongxue delicately presents the grandeur and light texture of the snow, which is appropriate and novel, showing the outstanding poetic talent of a woman with a poetry book.
Later generations called Xie Daoyun "the first talented woman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty" and compared it with the talented women of the Han Dynasty such as Ban Zhao and Cai Wenji.
Xie Daoyun, the first talented woman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who became famous very early
In the classic book of Traditional Chinese Studies, the Three Character Classic, there is a sentence that praises Xie Daoyun, a talented woman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: Xie Daoyun, who can chant. It can be seen how remarkable this talented woman's fame and knowledge should be.
When people mention Xie Daoyun, a talented woman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the first thing that comes to mind is her unique "Talent of Wing Chun". The reason why Xie Daoyun, who was a woman, was talented was not only related to the enlightened social trend of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time, but also because Xie Daoyun was from a scholar family who attached great importance to the education of his children, and his family background and cultural heritage were extraordinary.
In the early summer of 350 AD, Ruan Rong, the wife of the general Xie Yi of Anxi, gave birth to the eldest daughter of the family smoothly to her husband, as a mother, Ruan Rong was rich and talented, when her husband Xie Yi proposed to give the child a good name, Ruan Rong smiled and said: The word Yun is not bad, the ancient book says that it has the meaning of "accumulating talent is not obvious", it can also refer to the talented daughter in the boudoir, so our daughter might as well be called Xie Daoyun.
Xie Daoyun's mother, Ruan Rong, was a member of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" from the Western Jin Dynasty, who was well-read and well-versed, and married xie Yi, the Anxi general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as an adult.
The Xie family and the Wang family were the most prestigious nobles in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Xie family, where Xie Daoyun was located, was not only a noble and clear family of scholars, but also the home of officials and eunuchs of the Zuofu Imperial Court.
Xie Daoyun's uncle Xie An was a scholar and taifu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the official held a high position as prime minister, and his name was Zhen Chaoye, Xie Daoyun's cousin Xie Shang was a servant of Shangshu, and Xie Daoyun's younger brother Xie Xuan was a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The XingjiaWang clan does not lie in accumulating wealth and wealth, but in the inheritance of poetry and the cultivation of moral education, and the Xie family, where Xie Daoyun is located, is precisely because it attaches great importance to the education of the descendants of the family, so it will cultivate a talented woman like Xie Daoyun who has left a young history.
Since the age of three or four, Xie Daoyun has liked to learn to read under the guidance of her mother, she is sensitive and studious, intelligent and clever, when she was a teenager, she could export chapters and chant poems against each other, and everyone knew that the Xie family had a little talented girl Xie Daoyun.
Later, his uncle Xie An was willing to focus on the cultivation of this niece, and through several years of teaching, Xie Daoyun became a famous lady of the famous Zhenjing Master, she was beautiful and erudite, and was sometimes called the first talented woman who was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poetry and etiquette.
Although there is a unique poetry and wine under the forest wind, Xie Daoyun is not married satisfactorily
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xie clan has always been peaceful and glorious, poetry and wine, and the Xie family's sons Wen Ze An Ce and Wu Ze Dingbang have guarded the Jiangshan Sheji of the Eastern Jin Dynasty again and again, which can be described as outstanding merit.
Under the social atmosphere of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that advocated women's liberation, many famous people also emerged talented women who were proficient in poetry, at that time, there was a young woman married into the Gu family in Jiankang City, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whose name was Zhang Tongyun, this woman was exquisite, beautiful and gentle, and some people said that she was not inferior to Xie Daoyun in terms of talent.
In order to distinguish the superiority of the two talented women, someone asked the Jini who often went in and out of the Xie and Gu families, and Zini said: Xie Daoyun is clean and elegant, so he has a forest style and is uninhibited; Gu's Qingxin Yuying is the best among ordinary women, but she is still not comparable to Xie Daoyun.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a saying that "wang and Xie shared the world", which meant that the two noble families of the Langya Wang clan and the Chen Junxi clan were extremely prominent and powerful in the world.
Therefore, when Xie Daoyun reached the age when he could marry, Xie Yi and his wife Ruan Shi first included the Wang family in the scope of choosing a son-in-law.
In the end, after some selection, Xie Yi took a fancy to Wang Ningzhi, the second son of the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi. Coming from a family of calligraphers, Wang Ningzhi was dignified and good at writing cursive and lishu, and was also a court official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and although he was loyal and honest, he was much less elegant and interested than his brothers.
After Xie Daoyun married into the Wang family, she gradually found that her husband Wang Ningzhi's wood and boring, but how to cook rice has been cooked, Xie Daoyun although the marriage secretly complained bitterly, but there was no reason to break the marriage contract, had to spend her life with a mediocre husband. And despite the bland feelings of the husband and wife, Xie Daoyun still gave birth to 4 sons and 1 daughter for her husband.
Wen Ke chanted poetry, and Wu Ke could hand blade the enemy
More than ten years after Xie Daoyun was married, the imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in deep trouble, with internal worries mixed with external troubles, and the situation was very critical.
Seeing that the qi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was gradually declining, and the poor people everywhere rose up in order to seek a way to survive, since 399 AD, the leaders of the civil rebel army Sun En and Lu Xun successively rebelled, and the rebel army was fierce, once approaching the Huiji area.
At that time, Wang Ningzhi was serving as a local official of the Huijian, and he was superstitious and Taoist, and he calmly faced the enemy's situation, and adopted a passive approach, almost with an unprepared and unhurried attitude to "do nothing and do nothing, sit and wait for it to succeed."
Compared with Wang Ningzhi, who responded passively, Xie Daoyun, who was a woman, was in a hurry, and she urged her husband to quickly lead the army to defend the city and resist the rebellion of Lu Xun, but Wang Ningzhi always believed that the gods and immortals in Taoism would rescue the people from danger, and still did not take any measures to resist the enemy soldiers.
Soon, the rebel army invaded Huiji City, and soon Xie Daoyun's husband and children were captured and killed by the enemy, and the corpses in Huiji City were strewn around the ground and blood flowed.
Looking at this scene, Xie Daoyun, a tiger woman who was over forty years old, could no longer sit still, and she gathered her family and some brave and strong people overnight to consult the family's military books, simulate the deployment of troops, and swore that even if she fought for the sake of her relatives before the enemy died, she would never tolerate humiliation and wait for death.
After that, Xie Daoyun held her 3-year-old grandson in her arms, holding a spear in her hand to resist the enemy's attack, she calmly and calmly commanded the battle, and personally went to the battlefield to kill the enemy at a critical moment, brave and fearless, and the wind was magnificent, and she did not see the weakness and fear of a weak woman at all.
In the end, the enemy army killed almost the entire Huiji City, and they finally recognized that the old woman who was angry and covered in blood but still insisted on not flinching turned out to be Xie Daoyun, who was famous in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and after that, the rebel army all withdrew from Huiji City, and carefully escorted Xie Daoyun, who was holding his grandson, to a safe place and released the grandson and grandson in situ.
Since then, Xie Daoyun has led his young grandchildren to live an anonymous and ordinary life, and it is said that Xie Daoyun wrote many poems and chapters in the second half of his life, and occasionally gave lectures, and the recipients all sighed that Xie Daoyun's style was clear and clear, and his insights were unique.
In 409 AD, Xie Daoyun, a talented woman who was famous in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and famous for a while, came to the end of her life, although the second half of her life was slightly miserable and lonely, but Xie Daoyun should still be satisfied when she was dying.
After all, in the second half of her life, she was still quite diligent, not only left a number of poetry collections, but also raised her own grandsons, which was considered to have successfully protected the blood inheritance of the Wang Xie and Xie clans, and was more worthy of the kindness and affection of the two grandchildren in that lifetime.
Xie Daoyun, a talented woman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born in the ZhongMing Ding Food Family, she was noble and elegant in her life, her character was precious, and she could not only write poetry, but also hold a spear to kill the enemy, and successfully demonstrated her inner majestic wind and bones and extraordinary courage and wisdom in the ups and downs of the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Although the life of the talented woman Xie Daoyun is not unlimited, but she has also won the world's reputation by her own strength, such a heroic and elegant woman with cultural relics is indeed worthy of respect and emulation by women of my generation!
