In the famous TV series "Langya List", Hu Ge played a very prominent role in the play, his name is Mei Changsu. Mei Changsu can be said to be the intellectual ceiling of the whole drama, a white coat wins the snow, and is the most dazzling and brightest existence in the whole Jinling City.
The setting for him in the play is to rank at the top of the Langya list for many years, the world's first talent, also known as the Qilin talent. In ancient Chinese mythology, the unicorn is a spirit beast, the mount of the human emperor Fuxi. Because the ancients regarded the qilin as auspicious, it was often used as a metaphor for an outstanding person with ability.
The description of Mei Changsu in the play has always been that he is both complete in literature and martial arts, full of strange tricks, and has no exhaustive strategies, and has also described him as "a talented man of the Qilin Dynasty, who can get the world". This sentence originally came from the second half of Cao Zhi's poem "Xue Lu Xing", which probably means that the beast takes the Qilin as the ancestor, and Confucius, like the Qilin, is very outstanding.
After Confucius deleted the Poems and Books, the king's cause was already very clear. Therefore, later generations have summed up the conclusion that "the talent of the unicorn can get the world".
Mei Changsu's personal ability was indeed able to bear this sentence, so at that time, there were many people in the court who coveted the throne, and the princes were scrambling to pull him into their camp. For such a person who has been full of legends all his life, many people admire him. One can't help but wonder, did such a figure really exist in history? If anything, who is his prototype?
After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, who was originally the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, established a political power in Jiangnan, known in history as the "Eastern Jin Dynasty". But in historical books, more refer to the Eastern Jin Dynasty as "Jiangzuo." "So why is it called Jiangzuo?" In fact, it is related to the geographical location of the whole country.
The capital of the Western Jin Dynasty was set at Luoyang, and after the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin dynasty rose, but it did not continue to use the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty. After Sima Rui established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he set the capital at Jiankang, which is now Nanjing. Nanjing, on the other hand, belongs to the Jiangnan area and was called Jiangdong in ancient times. Another nickname for Jiangdong was also called Jiangzuo, so later generations used Jiangzuo to refer to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the famous talent in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An. He is a figure comparable to Mei Changsu, who is known as "Jiang Zuo Mei Lang" and he is known as "Jiang Zuo Fengliu". In a sense, he is the prototype of Mei Changsu.
Xie An, the word An Shi. The Yangxia clan of Chen County is now Taikang County, Henan. Xie An's father was Taichang Xie Qi, and his brother was the Zhenxi general Xie Tang, such a family lineage could be regarded as a famous and prestigious family at that time. It should be known that in ancient times, family lineage directly determined the future development of an individual. Leaving aside all this, Xie An himself is also very famous in history.
In addition to his enviable family lineage, he also grew a coveted face. Legend has it that he was handsome and elegant, revealing the style of a family man everywhere. Even Huan Yi, a powerful minister of the Jin Dynasty at that time, praised him a lot, comparing him to the Eastern Jin Dynasty Meilang who was the embodiment of beauty and wisdom.
Although everyone in the family was an official in the dynasty, after Xie An became an adult, he did not choose the same path as his family. Because of the darkness of the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime at that time, and the prevalence of corruption in the imperial court, he had a body of literati and arrogance, and naturally did not want to be an official with these people, so he directly lived a secluded life in Dongshan, Shanyin County, Huiji County.
During the decades of seclusion, the Xie family suffered a series of changes. The two elder brothers died of illness one after another, and the younger brother Xie Wan was stripped of his official position because of his defeat in the war, and the power of the Xie family has since plummeted. For the sake of the rise and fall of the family, Xie An gave up his current life and decided to go out of the mountains to take on the heavy responsibility of family rejuvenation.
In 372, Emperor Jianwen Sima Yu fell seriously ill. Knowing that his time was short, he handed over the power of the government to Huan Wen, and Huan Wen at this time could be said to have covered the sky with one hand in the court. Fortunately, there were still a few loyal people in the imperial court at that time, that is, Xie An and Wang Tanzhi.
After their bitter persuasion, Emperor Jianwen finally withdrew the decision to give Huan Wen the throne of Zen and made Sima Yao crown prince. Huan Wen, who was fighting outside at that time, heard about it, and immediately led a large army back to Jiankang, and set up camp outside the city, naming Xie Wang and the two of them to come to see him.
When Xie An heard about it, he did not refuse. He came to Huan Wen's camp with Wang Tan, where Huan Wen had already set up an ambush, and as long as he gave an order, Xie An and xie an would undoubtedly die. Although he put himself in danger, Xie An was still calm and self-assured. He asked Huan Wen why he did this, and Huan Wen was so landless by his question that he did not dare to rush into action, so he could only let the two of them leave.
After this incident, Xie An became a hero of the country. However, not long after, Former Qin's Jian Jian led a large army to attack. Xie An planted spies in the enemy army to disturb the hearts of the army, and eventually ended in the defeat of the Jianjian army.
After this battle, Xie An became famous for a while, and was jealous and framed by many of his colleagues. But Xie An's pursuit has never been the right to fame. In 385, Xie An chose to resign his official position and returned to the hidden mountains and forests again.
Soon after, Xie An died of illness, and Emperor Xiaowu was deeply saddened to hear this, and regretted that the country had lost a great talent. He personally selected a good coffin and buried Xie An in Meiling, and a generation of heavenly pride fell.
Ask someone like Xie An who wouldn't like it, who can write and be martial, and his talent is amazing. Now it is also the object of many girls' pursuit, and it is worthy of being the representative of "Jiangzuo Wind Flow".
