During the Sun En Uprising, her husband Wang Ningzhi tried to collect internal history, but he was caught and killed because of his weak defense. When Xie Daowen heard the news of the enemy's arrival, he took the initiative and killed the enemy with a knife before being caught. Sun En pardoned Daoyun and his people out of moral integrity. After Wang Ningzhi's death, Xie Daowen lived alone in Huijili and never remarried.
Xie Daowen is the eldest daughter of Xie Yizhi, the general of Anxi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the niece of Xie An, the prime minister, and the talented woman of Gu Jiegang. Received a good education from an early age. Once, my uncle Xie An asked her, "What is the best sentence of Shi Mao?" He replied: "There are 300 articles in The Book of Songs, just like the clouds in the Great Song Harmony. Ji Fu is like a breeze. Zhongshan always has a heart to comfort him. " Xie An praised him for his elegance. Xie An is worried about Xie Daowen's marriage. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Xie and Wang were two big families, and they were also called "Wang and Xie * * * the world". Xie An found a niece among Wang Xizhi's sons in order to suit the family. Wang Huizhi was the first person to take a fancy to, but when Xie An heard that this person was casual, he changed his original intention and betrothed Xie Daowen to Wang Ningzhi.
Xie Daowen not only writes well, but also has high thinking ability. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people rushed to talk about Hyunri, which became the trend of speaking freely. Some people even talk about mystery, "I am tired of performing my duties." Although Xie Daowen doesn't want to be an official, he has a deep understanding of Hyunri and is good at talking. According to the Book of Jin, one day, your wife and your brother "talked" with the guests in the hall, but he couldn't argue with them. At this moment, Xie Daowen could hear clearly in his room, and he was very worried about his brother-in-law. He wanted to help him, so he sent his maid to tell Wang Xianzhi to let him go. However, in the feudal era, the rule of "giving and receiving without kissing" restricted women's appearance in public. Let Xie Daowen's maid hang a green curtain in front of the door to cover herself, and then continue to face the problem that Wang Xianzhi just mentioned. She was quoted by others, and the argument was fierce. Finally, the guests began to argue.
