Speaking of Xie An, I have to say that it is a prominent family in the past 300 years-Chen Jun Xie. Xie's family can be traced back to Xie's grandfather Xie Heng, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then to Xie's ninth grandson Xie Zhen. As the last descendant of Xie in Historical Records, four years after his death, the decadent Chen Dynasty finally came to an end in the singing of "Flowers in the Garden of Yushu". Three hundred years later, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this family was endowed with some luxury sadness, which was recalled and lamented by people. Wuyi Xiang has become a sunset weed, turning into the past of the past.
Xie An is undoubtedly the most brilliant of the 300 years of glory. Such a life course marks that a family has finally climbed to the top irresistibly, releasing the glory of the present era. This kind of power conforms to the fate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which indicates that a dynasty lasted for half a century, so it propped up a safe and stable world and was remembered by future generations. At the same time, it also marks the end of the unique system in history, and marks that the term "noble" will never really appear in our history ...
Have no intention of seclusion in Dongshan
Xie An (AD 320-385), whose name is Anshi, was born in Chenjun (now Taikang, Henan). The Xie family in Chenjun was a famous aristocratic family who moved eastward during the Yongjia Rebellion. Xie Kun, Xie An's uncle, joined the army in the prime minister's house of Sima Yue, king of the East China Sea, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. After crossing the river, he died in the position of magistrate in Zhang Yu, and he was also a member of "extending in all directions". At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An's father Xie Mao was the highest official. Thanks to the achievements of Kun and You brothers, Xie's status has been rising, but it is Xie 'an who really created the family glory.
Although Xie An ranks third among the brothers, he is more famous than all his brothers. He has been very clever since he was a child. When I was 4 years old, I was taken a fancy to by the then Shangshu Burelang (Huan Wen's father), which attracted Huan Gong's great admiration: "This child is handsome and will definitely look like Wang Cheng, a famous minister in the Jin Dynasty!" A little older, Xie An became more intelligent and sensitive, with extraordinary spirit. Even Wang Dao, a famous figure known as "King and Horse, * * * the world", knew him, so that the school children at that time even followed him to read phonology and became fashionable.
After crossing the river, Xie lived in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). The beauty of Huiji has always been a fertile ground for celebrities to live happily. The Dongshan Mountain here is famous because Xie An lived here in seclusion when he was young. When Xie An was young, he didn't want to have a career. Every day, in addition to talking about literature, poetry and Hyunri with celebrities such as Zhi Daolin, Wang Xizhi, Xu Xun, Sun Chuo and Li Chong, he often enjoys the scenery with them to entertain himself. Wang Xizhi's famous preface to Lanting was written on March 3, the ninth year of Yonghe (AD 353), and Wang Xizhi got together with this group of friends in the preface to Lanting. Xie An also writes poems and essays to express his elegance.
During Xie An's wandering in Dongshan, another thing happened: once, he and Sun Chuo agreed to row a boat at sea, but a storm happened later. At that time, the waves were rough and the dark clouds rolled over, and the companions were frightened and wanted to return immediately. Xie An is the only one who swims happily and sings poems casually. The old man rowing saw that he looked relaxed and happy, so he continued to row away. Until the storm was very strong, the boat turned like a leaf in the stormy waves, and everyone else stood up and shouted in horror, but Xie An said calmly, "If everything is in such a mess, we can't go back." Everyone calm down and the ship can return safely. That is, from this incident, everyone realized that his heart and courage were enough to stabilize the ruling and opposition parties.
Xie An, a young man, was really famous as a celebrity at that time. Just as he was wandering around Huiji Mountain, he also received many letters of recommendation, asking him to be an official. For the first time, when he was only a weak champion, Yu Bing, the secretariat of Yangzhou, heard of his fame and urged him to be his subordinate several times. As a last resort, Xie An had to bid farewell to his beloved homeland and go to call. But just over a month later, he went home. Another time was seven years later, when General Huan Wen conquered Shu Han, he also noticed Xie An's reputation, so he reported it to the court and asked Xie An to be his Sima. Xie An this time more simply, because things are difficult, politely refused Huan Wen's kindness.
At that time, many Xie Jia, Xie An's younger brother Xie Shang, had become senior officials. There is always traffic in front of Xie's house. Once, Xie An's wife, Liu, pointed to those rich brothers and quietly joked with him: "Shouldn't a gentleman do this?" Hearing this, Xie An covered his nose with his hand and said, "I'm afraid I can't help it."
Although he knew that he was destined to be an official for the rise of his family, he repeatedly refused to be recruited by the court. At that time, someone said with emotion: "An Shi refused to come out, what can the people of the world do?" However, some people think that they don't respect the court and impeach him several times in a row, asking the court to imprison him and restrict his freedom of activity. In the face of various external reactions, Xie An remained as steady as Mount Tai, as light as water, and did not care until his younger brother Xie Wan had an accident.
Xie Wan is the commander-in-chief of the western region, supervising the military affairs of Qinghai, Henan and Hebei, but he is arrogant and does not know how to treat the Ministry. Although Xie An persuaded him many times, he still refused to listen, and was finally defeated and deposed in a battle. After Xie Wan was deposed, Xie An decided to enter the official career in order to maintain his family status. At first, he served as the general manager of the Western Expedition in Huan Wen, and later served as the magistrate, assistant and official minister of Xing Wu, protecting the army until the Prime Minister. In just a few years, Xie An has changed from a scribe to the name of more than ten thousand people under one person. It can be described as a brilliant career and a pleasant journey.
