Xie An, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was multi-talented, not only a calligrapher, but also a good friend of Wang Xizhi, a scholar, but also proficient in music, and spent all day with friends to play in the mountains and rivers and sing poetry.

Xie An was born into a clan of scholars, and with his talent was very famous in the scholar class at that time, from the emperor to the non-commissioned officers, and even the Hanmen scholars, they all thought that such a very talented person, it was natural to come out as an official.
But he preferred to live in seclusion in Dongshan rather than come out and become an official.
However, when Xie An was in his 40s, after the Xie family's elites in the middle of the dynasty were basically depleted, at the same time that Former Qin unified the north and was strong, Xie An took on the heavy responsibility to re-emerge as an official, because he had been living in seclusion in Huiji Dongshan for a long time, so this time Xie An's re-emergence was called "Dongshan Resurgence".
Xie An recommended his nephew Xie Xuan, an all-rounder of literature and martial arts, to Emperor Xiaowu, and Xie Xuan was made a general, in charge of men and horses, and defended the border.
At present, when Qin Zhijian led a million troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie Xuan only had 80,000 horses, and Xie Xuan went to Xie An's house to say goodbye before he went out on the expedition, hoping that Xie An would give him advice.
Xie An not only did not instruct Xie Xuan to pay attention to the precautions, but also dragged Xie Xuan's friend to his villa in the mountains the next day to play chess for a whole day, and Almost had a heart attack.
However, on the evening of departure, Xie An summoned Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, and other generals to his home, and clearly explained each person's tasks one by one. Calmly and calmly, he sent these young people to the front line to command and lead the troops to fight.
Everyone thinks that the enemy is at present, the strength of the troops is too small, and he is a novice general, and the prime minister who arranges the attack and defense is so leisurely, Xie An's military ability is worrying.
As a result, the famous Battle of Huainan and the Battle of Shuishui, former Qin Jianjian was defeated, and no one could not but admire Xie An's maneuvering, especially the scene described in the "New Language of the World": the boy who reported the victory stood on the side and joyfully stated victory, while Xie An was still calm and calm, without waves, and concentrated on playing chess.
The point is that after Xie An read the letter of victory, he quietly laid it on the bed quietly, and when the guest asked, he casually replied: "The children have defeated the army of thieves." The child's close title, pride can not be expressed.
