Xie An was born noble and was a descendant of the Xie clan of Chen County, a family that had spared no effort to serve the imperial court for many years, so it was deeply valued by the imperial court, and had a pivotal position above the court, and was a truly famous and prestigious family.
The so-called tiger father has no dog, and the descendants of the Xie clan have been the dragon and phoenix of the people for generations, and when they reach the appropriate age, they also inherit their ancestral aspirations, and successively enter the dynasty as officials, each with their own achievements.
In that period when the system of enlistment was still very imperfect, the unattainable opportunity for ordinary people to enter the military was only the bag of the children of prominent families, and almost everyone had an official and a half-position in the dynasty, but among these children, there was also one person who seemed particularly special.
He was Xie An.
Xie An has been talented since childhood, especially among the children, when he was a teenager, he had already shown an extraordinary literary talent when he studied with Mr. Teaching, and more importantly, he also had a handsome appearance, a dignified appearance, quite a manly charm, and a talented face, which is a rare talent.
When he reached the right age, he did not follow the footsteps of his brothers into the DPRK, but instead lived a life of seclusion despite the opposition of the people.
Only because Xie An had heard the darkness and filth of official politics since he was a child, he did not despise being in such a turbid stream like others, and he was not at all interested in the fame and fortune brought by the officialdom.
At the beginning, the imperial court had sent people to the palace many times to recruit Xie An to join the court as an official, but he repeatedly refused, and Xie An moved to the Hermitage of Dongshan in Huiji County in order to stay away from the disturbances and pursue the life he longed for.
However, even if they moved away from the troubled place, the imperial court still sent people to solicit them, and Xie An still refused one by one, seeing that Xie An was determined to do so, and the imperial court would no longer come to disturb them.
Here, Xie An lived a life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain", he enjoyed the daily dependence on the mountains and rivers, insects and birds as companions, away from the world's troubles of the way of life, life is very comfortable.
In addition, there are also the same like-minded friends Wang Xizhi, Zhi Daolin and other people to accompany each other, they often travel together, talk about words, just like this, Xie An did not hear anything out of the window, and spent ten years of seclusion comfortably.

In 372 AD, the Xie clan encountered an unprecedented difficult situation in the imperial court. In recent years, several brothers have died prematurely due to illness, and the elders of the family who have a reputation and status have gradually begun to leave the official field.
His younger brother, who was a great general, was framed by a mistake in the war and was stripped of his official position. Today's Xie family can hardly have the right to speak above the court.
At the same time, the monarchs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had been bedridden for several days, and now almost all the power in the dprk was in the hands of the chancellor Huan Wen.
Huan Wen has long been eyeing the throne, and the power is in his hands, which can be described as easy to call the wind and rain, so that no one in the DPRK and China can compete with it.
Therefore, Huan Wen flattered the monarch and hid it from him, while turning his hand over to the cloud in the court for rain.
The situation was so critical, for the sake of the country and for the sake of his family's revival, Xie An decided to become an official in the DPRK to save the crisis.
With Xie An's intervention, the DPRK and The Central Committee quickly presented two camps, and Xie An and Wang Tanzhi resolutely opposed Huan Wen's misdeeds. At this moment, we must find a proper opportunity as soon as possible to talk to Emperor Jianwen and what Huan Wen's ambitions and what he has done.
Therefore, the two of them took advantage of Huan Wen's going out to fight and not being in the middle of the court, told Emperor Jian Wen all of Huan Wen's deeds, and tried their best to convince Emperor Jian Wen, and in the end, Emperor Jian Wen listened to Xie An's advice, abolished the original decision of Chan in Huan Wen, and established Sima Yao as crown prince instead.
This news soon reached Huan Wen's ears, and he was furious, ordering his troops to return to the capital immediately, and leading the army to garrison outside the city, and also shouted at the city, especially Xie An quickly raised his head to see him.
Huan Wen gritted his teeth at Xie An's hatred at this time, and was eager to unload him into eight pieces, so he set up many ambushes outside the tent, as long as Xie An stepped into here, he would undoubtedly die.
Xie An had already anticipated that the other party would only give up if he saw him, so he decided to go to the camp alone to confront him.
Only to see that Xie An had a calm face and was not afraid at all, when he came to the appointment, when he was about to step into the ambush circle, he suddenly stopped and said to Huan Wen with a smile: "It is not appropriate to use such dirty means to deal with the imperial court officials."
Seeing that his little trick had long been recognized by Xie An, would Xie An be prepared, after all, for this new person in the DPRK, he had never exchanged hands before, and he did not know how much the other party's ability was, just in case, he opposed Xie An's trap, so he ordered Xie An to be sent back to the city.
Xie An was safe and triumphant, waiting for Huan Wen's movements, but at this time Huan Wen outside the city began to worry, he could not help but be afraid whenever he thought of Xie An's demeanor that day, just like this, Huan Wen fidgeted all day long, and did not dare to act rashly, Xie An in the city also did not move, and finally, Huan Wen was exhausted for a long time, and soon died of illness on the sickbed.
Xie An finally relied on his superior courage and unparalleled wisdom to "frighten" Huan Wen without bloodshed, and finally succeeded in saving the Jin Room and reviving the prestige of the family.

After a year, the Eastern Jin Dynasty once again faced a crisis, this time not internal turmoil, but old enemies attacking.
In 383 AD, the Former Qin army led by Jian Jian came to the door, and the other side came with a huge army of nearly one million, speaking of nearly one million, but in fact there were only five or six hundred thousand troops, but such a force was an overwhelming advantage over the Jin Dynasty.
The arrogant Jian Jian believed that he would win this battle, and arrogantly claimed by the Yellow River that his million male divisions could throw whips and cut off the stream, and it was easy to destroy Jin in one fell swoop.
Xie An knew that he was so inferior that he would undoubtedly lose if he touched it hard, so he installed several of his own people in the back of the other side.
Before the time of the decisive battle arrived, Xie An saw the opportunity and knew that the other side's current army was scattered and had not yet been assembled, so he preemptively attacked and caught the opposing forward troops by surprise.
At the same time, the spies who had been arranged in advance also disseminated remarks in the rear of the troops, saying that the situation in the front was critical and that our army had suffered countless casualties. As a result, the troops began to panic, chaos, and were not vulnerable at all, so they were repelled by the Jin army in one fell swoop.
This is the famous battle in history in which less wins more - the Battle of Shuishui.
This time, Xie An, with his superior intelligence, quickly found the perfect opportunity to defeat the other side, avoided direct confrontation with the enemy army, perfectly avoided his own disadvantages, and led a small number of people to defeat the enemy who was ten times the size of himself.
In this way, Xie An made great contributions to the imperial court twice, and became a big figure in the dprk and the middle of the country, and the limelight was incomparable, but at this time, some people in the DPRK began to envy his talents and repeatedly rumored to the monarch that they were afraid that Xie Angong would be highly respected, and this kind of worry also quickly aroused the suspicion of the monarch.
Xie An had already anticipated the current situation and crisis, so under the pretext of pretending that he was afraid that Former Qin would take revenge again, he voluntarily surrendered all his military powers and asked the imperial court to resign.
In this way, the monarch's doubts were naturally eliminated, and Xie An, once again returned to Dongshan with his family to begin a reclusive life.
After this time of seclusion, Xie An never died again, as he had expected, the imperial court was ultimately a place of right and wrong, it was not easy to save itself, it was even more difficult to make meritorious achievements, and it was not what he wanted to do.
Until the age of 66, Xie An was seriously ill and finally drove to the west of Hexi.
When Emperor Xiaowu learned of Xie An's death, he arranged for his courtiers to cry and hang in the court for three days, and ordered that the official government handle the funeral for him, and personally chose the site for Xie An to be buried in Meiling, from which the title of "Jiang Zuo Meilang" came from.
Since then, Xie An's life has become a matter of controversy, and his figure has also appeared in the works of countless literati and inkers.
Later poets Wang Jian once called Xie An "Jiang Zuo Fengliu Zai Xiang", and great poets such as Li Bai and Su Shi also had a super high evaluation of him.
He was the most special being among the sons of prominent families, he was not satisfied with the mission and arrangement of entering the DPRK as an official, and he had his own thoughts and pursuits; he was low-key, dignified, moody and angry, and never pursued fame and profit.
He enjoyed the life he loved, but he also decided to sacrifice himself for righteousness in the face of the call of great right and wrong and the national crisis; he was resourceful, once born, he made great achievements, successfully saved the crisis, and completed his mission; he judged the hour and sized up the situation, did not covet fame and fortune, chose to retire from success, and returned to the place where he should have belonged.
This worldly master, his cleverness is far more than the world, he has the ability to strategize like Zhuge Kongming, and he is determined to do it with a shot.
Life is made up of choices again and again, some people live wonderfully, some people live simply, people like Xie An, never be limited by the choices that have been made, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, he can weigh the weight in time, adjust himself, leisurely walk in the same choice questions, the switch between giving and getting, is his most outstanding wisdom, his life, really for the country and the people, but also for himself.
