A little girl's saying: "The white snow is no different than the catkins blown by the wind" has been popular for 1,700 years. She is Xie Daoyun, the most talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Xie Daoyun (about 349-409), whose courtesy name was Ling Jiang.
Xie Daoyun can be called a second-generation official. He was born in the "Xie family of Chen County", one of the two famous families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. She was the eldest daughter of Xie Yi, the general of Anxi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the niece of Xie An, the prime minister. She received a good education since she was a child. She was erudite and intelligent at a young age.
On a snowy day, everyone in the Xie family was admiring the snow. Uncle Xie Ankao and his juniors recited poems about the snow. Everyone said it was like salt. After Xie Daoyun thought for a while, he said the famous saying "It's not like catkins blowing because of the wind." He directly used catkins to praise the soft beauty of the heavy snow, which amazed everyone and impressed his uncle.
People often say that if you are not afraid of entering the wrong profession, you are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Xie Daoyun's marriage is enough to make people sigh.
Xie Daoyun, who is favored by her uncle, is expected to get married. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the power of the Xie family could only be matched by the Wang family, which was also a wealthy family. So she was married to Wang Ningzhi and became Wang Yizhi's daughter-in-law and Wang Xianzhi's sister-in-law.
After getting married, I thought I could grow up with my husband, a college scholar, in poetry and poetry. Unexpectedly, he was extremely disappointed. Although Wang Ningzhi was Wang Yizhi's son, he only had an identity. He is neither a high achiever nor a low achiever, has mediocre talent, is obsessed with Taoism , and is dull and boring. Xie Daoyun was extremely dissatisfied with this marriage. I even went back to my parents' home and complained directly: The Wang family is so famous, why is there such a mediocre person as Wang Ningzhi? In fact, there is another big reason why Xie Daoyun looks down on Wang Ningzhi, that is, Wang Ningzhi knows nothing about poetry and poetry, and Xie Daoyun is a talented woman. She wrote a good poem and happily showed it to her husband to appreciate, but in exchange for it, she was lonely, which would make anyone else depressed.
At that time, educated people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties liked to gather together for debates. Once, his brother-in-law Wang Xianzhi was arguing with a guest in the hall, but he couldn't argue with the other party. The situation was awkward for a time. Xie Daoyun was at the back of the hall and couldn't listen anymore. He asked the maid to hang a green cloth curtain in front of the door to cover herself, and then continued to argue with the other party on the topic. In the end, the guest was at a loss for words and praised him repeatedly!
Although she cannot be in love with her husband, she can live a stable life with poems and songs as her companions.
But the good times did not last long. In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, turmoil broke out, and the uprisings of Sun En and Lu Xun broke out. Wang Ningzhi, who was the internal history (mayor) of Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), was obsessed with Taoism and did not actively prepare for war. Instead, he closed his doors and prayed to the Taoist ancestors to bless the people. Xie Daoyun tried to persuade him several times to no avail. In anger, he had to recruit servants to train himself. Sun En's army marched straight into Kuaiji City, and Wang Ningzhi and his children were killed. Xie Daoyun, armed with weapons and holding his three-year-old grandson in his arms, and his family members rose up to fight the enemy, but were eventually captured because they were outnumbered.
Sun En admired her talent and bravery, and instead of killing her, he sent someone to send them back to Kuaiji. From then on, Xie Daoyun lived in seclusion, accompanying himself with poetry.
This war took away her husband, son and many other children from the clan, leaving her with only unforgettable pain. In his later years, Xie Daoyun was alone, but his life was not depressed.
She climbed Mount Tai and wrote " Song of Mount Tai ": The mountains in the east of E'e are high, and their beauty reaches the sky. The empty space in the middle of the rock is lonely and mysterious.
Many people who admired her came to seek advice from her. She sat behind a curtain and talked, teaching and solving doubts for those who came to seek advice, and spent the rest of her life teaching and educating people.
After experiencing ups and downs, he can still sit back and watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, calm and calm, neither sad nor happy. It is truly admirable. Her talent, courage and style deserve to be remembered by future generations!
