The Eastern Jin Dynasty was the heyday of the development of metaphysics in China, and during this period there were also many famous scholars, among which Xie An, a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was represented. Today, Xiaobian will take you to explore Xie An's way of dealing with the world.
The Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi once wrote in a poem in Wuyi Lane: "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people", and Xie An was born in the Xie family. As the top magnate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xie family naturally did not need to be burdened by their livelihood, so Xie An's life was very superior.
Probably children from famous backgrounds have minds beyond ordinary people, and Xie An is no exception. When Xie An was young, he was highly regarded by the then Emperor Xiang Wang, and his reputation was known to ordinary people. Therefore, Xie An was also appreciated by the imperial court when he grew up, hoping that he could come out and become an official.
Although the imperial court treated Xie An with courtesy, Xie An did not want to use his family lineage to obtain advanced qualifications, so he politely refused the court's request. I have to say that the children of Wang Xie's two families have a kind of self-confidence, and Wang Xizhi also had such an attitude at that time. Although Xie An was despised by the public opinion at the time, he still did not change his attitude of avoiding the world. In the end, the imperial court also gave up the solicitation of Xie An, and did not serve this great master anyway!
So Xie An completely released himself and began to travel the world. In order to make friends with the famous people of that time, Xie An did not hesitate to cultivate in the mountains for many years, and even let loose skeletons, just like the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Under Xie An's deliberate friendship, Wang Xizhi, Xu Qian, Zhi Daolin and other celebrities have become Xie An's good friends. During this period, Xie An had a somewhat "teenager does not know the taste of sorrow" attitude.
In the process of traveling, Xie An also did not forget to study and wrote many famous articles. According to historical records, Xie An was a relatively calm person, which also laid the foundation for his later command of the battle. Why? Xie An had sailed the sea with the famous scholar Sun Qi and others, but unfortunately, the sea was stormy, which made the people in his company very frightened, but Xie An was calm and self-assured, and he had some interest in "seeing his tall building collapse". I have to say that people do big things is tough, and others have long been overwhelmed!
If it weren't for the family's tiredness, Xie An might not have been born again for the rest of his life. Three years after Shengping, Xie An's younger brother Xie Wan was defeated in the course of his crusade against Former Yan and was demoted to a Shuren. This threatened the power of the Xie family, so under the persuasion of the family, Xie An finally came out.
At that time, Xie An was already in his forties, and others thought that Xie An was just an official to maintain the glory of the family, but they did not expect that Xie An had really done something big. In 378 AD, Former Qin launched a war in an attempt to unify the Central Plains. At this critical juncture, Xie An was appointed commander-in-chief, responsible for the war against Qin.
Due to the strength of the troops, the Eastern Jin army was in decline from the beginning. However, under the planning of Xie An and others, he seized the characteristics of Jian Jian's arrogance and arrogance, and finally won the victory in the Battle of Shuishui. It is said that Xie An was playing chess with his friends when he received the news of the great victory on the front line, and Xie An continued to play chess quietly after reading the victory report. Finally, the friend couldn't help but ask questions, and Xie An said, "Nothing, the children have already defeated the enemy!" "I have to say that Xie An is calm and self-assured.
After the Battle of Shuishui, Xie An's personal prestige reached its peak. However, since ancient times, the examples of the master of high merit and tremor are not uncommon, and Xie An is no exception. Because Xie An was jealous of Emperor Xiaowu, he gradually transferred the power of the Xie family to the imperial court, and he just went out of the capital to escape the disaster. Since the ancient powers, most of the courtiers have suffered disasters, but Xie An has been able to die well. The reason is that without him, Xie An had no desire for power, and he was only out of the family because of the request of the family.
Xie An seems to be in charge of power, but in fact, he has a unique way of dealing with the world. Whether he served the Sima family or served as Huan Wen's aide, he followed the historical principle that things must be reversed, so the superiors never felt that Xie An would do anything rebellious. It is precisely because of Xie An's kind attitude that the Xie family was able to preserve itself in the change of dynasty.
Although Xie An was highly valued, his interest in landscapes and rivers remained. Xie Ann has repeatedly asked to retire, but all of them have been rejected, so Xie An often feels unhappy. From today's point of view, Xie An is undoubtedly a pure person, and he is only an official for the purpose of maintaining the family, not to seek wealth, which is very rare.
People say that Wang Xie Mengao, but Xie An is indeed burdened by the family. If Xie An had not come from a rich family, perhaps his ambition to return to the hidden landscape would have been realized. However, the situation did not allow Xie An to do this, so Xie An's happiness of the landscape became a luxury!
