As we all know, the northern part of Vietnam has been under the jurisdiction of China for a long time. It was only during the Ming Dynasty that it gradually became independent and became a subsidiary kingdom of the Chinese feudal dynasty. For the development of central and northern Vietnam , started from the Qin Dynasty , the most famous one is Zhao Tuo . Zhao Tuo once called himself King of Nanyue . It was not until the Han Dynasty that he was recovered by the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the warlord separatist period, there was a man named People from Shixie (xiè) had a huge impact on the development of Jiaozhou based on Jiaozhou area.
Shi Xie was originally from the state of Lu, which is now Shandong. When Wang Mang usurped the Han , Shi Xie's ancestors moved from Shandong to Jiaozhou and settled there. Of course, it was in the current Guangdong area, not Vietnam. Jiaozhou was in For a long time, it included Guangdong, Guangxi and the central and northern parts of Vietnam. Until the Wu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms divided Jiaozhou into Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, Jiaozhou was the central and northern part of Vietnam.
After Shixie's ancestors arrived in Jiaozhou, after six generations of development, they had become a local wealthy family. His father Shici had become the prefect of Rinan. Rinan was a county in Jiaozhou, in the north-central part of today's Vietnam. Shi Xie even traveled to the Central Plains, became a disciple of Liu Tao, a native of Yingchuan, and studied "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals" with him. Liu Tao was not only a member of the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family, but also a famous scholar at that time. After Shi Xie became Liu Tao's disciple, he also labeled himself as a disciple of a famous scholar, which was very helpful in his future career as an official.
Shi Xie was first recommended as Xiaolian and replaced as Shangshu Lang. This was the beginning of his entry into officialdom. Later, he was finally dismissed due to official duties. However, this accumulated political capital for Shi Xie's future promotion. After the death of his father Shi Ci , Shi Xie was appointed as the magistrate of Wu County.
If it was the age of peace, perhaps Shi Xie could only be promoted step by step, and it is hard to say whether he would eventually become a prefect or a governor. But after the chaos in the world, the governors of various places were divided into one party, but Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou, was not able to He took charge of Jiaozhou and imposed heavy taxes on various places. The various places could not bear it and revolted. Zhu Fu was killed and Jiaozhou was leaderless. At this time, Shi Xie was appointed as the prefect of Jiaozhou. Shi Xie took the opportunity to petition the court and let his younger brother serve as the governor of Jiaozhou. As the governor of Jiaozhou, the four brothers Shixie took charge of the four counties of Jiaozhou. Although they were not the governor of Jiaozhou, they actually controlled Jiaozhou.
Shi Xie was a generous man. Under his governance, Jiaozhou had a stable society and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Due to Jiaozhou's superior geographical location and isolation from the Central Plains, the warlords' melee did not affect Jiaozhou, so celebrities from the north came to Jiaozhou to seek refuge one after another. Among them were Liu Ba, Yuan Hui, Xu Jing, etc., and Shi Xie also welcomed all comers, and he himself was obsessed with "Spring and Autumn" and made annotations for it.
All four Shixie brothers served as governors, but Shixie did not serve as governor. This was an important reason why Shixie stood among the warlords and was undefeated. Once Shixie became governor, it would become a de facto warlord regime. Being conquered by various warlords in turn, this is also the case. The governor of Jiaozhou was successively served by people sent by Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and no matter who came to be the governor, Shi Xie was a hurdle that could not be bypassed, so Both Cao Cao and Sun Quan scrambled to win over Shi Xie, and Shi Xie also sized up the situation and sent people to meet Cao Cao and Sun Quan. In the end, due to geographical reasons, Shi Xie finally surrendered to Sun Quan. Sun Quan sent Bu Zhi as the governor of Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou under Shi Xie's rule became Sun Quan's sphere of influence.
But the collapse of the Shixie family was also due to the failure to serve as the governor of Jiaozhou. Although the four Shixie brothers served as prefects and could have both sides, they could not rule the entire Jiaozhou in name. Shixie could still control Jiaozhou when he was alive, but Shixie After his death, Sun Quan wanted to seize the rule of the Shixie family, so he divided Jiaozhou into two parts, becoming Guangzhou and Jiaozhou. Shixie's son Shihui was dissatisfied and rebelled, and was eventually destroyed by Sun Quan. The Shixie family It was also destroyed.
Shixie devoted himself to the study of Confucianism, which not only promoted the development of Confucianism in the Lingnan region, but also became a window for Vietnam to learn Confucian culture. Shixie introduced Confucianism to Jiaozhou, and northern Vietnam also began to study Confucianism, and Shixie was also the author of Vietnamese writing Creation has contributed to the creation. Chinese characters are used in Vietnam, but the pronunciation is different from that of the Central Plains. Shi Xie translated the Chinese characters into Yuesheng, and Vietnamese speech also became flat. This allowed ancient Vietnamese to recite poems and write poems. Because of this, Vietnam is very grateful. Due to Shi Xie's contribution, Vietnamese rulers and scholars revered him as the "King of Scholars" and "Ancestor of Nanjiao School". He first entered the Imperial Temple and then the Confucian Temple. He has been worshiped to this day. Later, the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam posthumously presented Shi Xie with his Shangan Jiaying Ling. King Wu.
Although Shi Xie's family was eventually destroyed, Shi Xie can be regarded as successful because he was able to carry forward Confucianism and was honored and praised by the Vietnamese.
