Talent and beauty combined; the story of the development of the legendary goddess Xie Daoyun who is famous all over the world

During the Goddess Day a few days ago, everyone got together to talk about what kind of woman can be called a goddess. To be honest, I think the standard for being a goddess is too low now. She seems to have a lovable face. With a certain degree of exposure and a little bit of talent, you can be called a goddess.

But once she takes off her disguise, this so-called goddess may just be a mortal.

There seems to be only one person who can be called a goddess in my heart. That is Xie Daoyun, a talented woman from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xie Daoyun was born in a noble family and became famous at a young age. However, he experienced war and all his relatives were killed. In his later years, he lived in seclusion alone and wrote poems and compositions, which made him famous throughout the ages. Records of the Jin Dynasty recorded that Xie Daoyun was "pure in heart and profound in purpose, and distinguished in appearance and talent." From the text, it can be seen that Xie Daoyun was in the realm of a goddess.

(1) Xie Gong's youngest preference was for his daughter

Xie Daoyun was born in the Xie family, a prominent family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "the king and the Xie family".

His father is Xie Yi, the general of Anxi. Xie Yi's younger brother is Xie An, a celebrity in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who made a comeback. Xie Daoyun has been reading poetry and books since he was a child. He is smart, lively and cute. His father and uncle like him very much.

And during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people's thoughts were free and romantic, without so many ethical constraints. The seven sages in the bamboo forest who were bohemian were typical representatives of the literati at that time who shunned the world and focused on the mountains and rivers.

Xie Daoyun grew up in an environment where poetry and calligraphy were passed down from family to family and the literary style was open-minded, which made her have the detached open-mindedness and informality of a hermit in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

(2) Pity for the talent of singing catkins

The most talked about thing about Xie Daoyun in later generations is his talent of singing catkins. This is thanks to his uncle Xie An. The old man pays more attention to family education and likes to often bring his children and nephews together to hold big family parties.

Sometimes I like to ask the juniors some questions to adjust the atmosphere. Of course, because of the generation gap, sometimes it is inevitable to ask some quiet questions.

For example, once the old man asked everyone: What does the growth of children have to do with their father and brothers? Why do fathers and brothers always hope that they will become outstanding talents?

This question is a bit strange. Suddenly, no one could answer for a while, and it was about to be silent. At this time, Xie An's nephew Xie Xuan replied, this is like the orchid and jade tree, everyone hopes that they grow in front of their court. Finally the place warmed up.

It is estimated that the old man learned a lesson this time, so at a family gathering with the theme of snow appreciation, Xie An asked everyone a relatively simple question: What does the white snow look like?

Xie Lang replied: The difference in spreading salt in the air can be calculated.

Xie Daoyun said calmly at this time: It's not like catkins blowing up due to the wind.

This poem about snow is in harmony with the mood and scenery, and is exquisite.

Xie An was also very happy after hearing Xie Daoyun's answer and laughed non-stop.

Pu Shoucheng, a poet in the Song Dynasty, commented on Xie Daoyun's wonderful line by saying, "Who could be better at chanting snow lines at that time?"

Therefore, the name of Xie Daoyun and Yongxu, a talented woman, has been passed down through the ages.

(3) The atmosphere in the forest and the celebrities among girls

Xie Daoyun’s family is huge, with seven younger brothers alone, including Xie Xuan of Zhilan Yushu. Xie Xuan was very popular when he was young. Naughty and mischievous, with a bad temper and no desire to make progress.

Xie Daoyun admonished his younger brother: Why don't you work hard and make progress? Is it because your talent is limited, or is it because you are too careful about your worldly affairs?

Xie Xuan saw his sister acting like this He hated iron and felt very regretful. From then on, he determined to make progress. Not only did he become a leader in the popular talk among celebrities at that time, but he also led 80,000 soldiers to defeat the enemy's millions of soldiers at Feishui and protected the territory. It is the most famous battle in history in which a small number defeated a large number.

Xie Xuan eventually became a famous general, respected by all generations. Xie Xuan had great respect for his sister Xie Daoyun throughout his life and often praised her sister to others.

Zhang Tongyun, Zhang Tongyun's sister from the same county at that time, was also quite talented. Zhang Xuan also thought that his sister was comparable to Xie Daoyun.

There was a man named Jini who had contacts with both Xie Daoyun and Zhang Tongyun. They asked him who was better. Jini said that Xie Daoyun had a clear and relaxed spirit, so he had a forest atmosphere. Zhang Tongyun has a pure heart and a jade reflection, and has the beauty of her own boudoir.

Later generations thought this was a euphemism to say that Zhang Tongyun was inferior to Xie Daoyun.

His evaluation of Xie Daoyun can be described as apt and pertinent. Xie Daoyun was born in a time when the wind of relaxing in the bamboo forest was prevalent. He was born in a family of celebrities who passed down poetry and calligraphy. He was surrounded by celebrities and elegant people. He was high-spirited and upright. Therefore, he was influenced by what he heard and saw. He doesn't show off his eyebrows, and his personality and temperament are like those of a celebrity.

(4) There is a king in the world

Xie Daoyun is a strange woman who is famous all over the world for her talent and beauty. She is the goddess in everyone's mind at that time. Uncle Xie An was very worried about her marriage. He first chose the fifth son of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, who was as famous as the Xie family. He was the one who visited Dai Andao on a snowy day, but did not go in when he arrived at her door. Wang Huizhi took advantage of the excitement and returned home after all the excitement.

But later I found out that this guy was too careless and did not pay attention to details.

Although Xie Daoyun was lively, he was indeed a well-educated and sensible person. Xie An was afraid that his favorite niece would be wronged, so he temporarily changed his mind and married Xie Daoyun to Wang Xizhi's second son, Wang Ningzhi, who had a more stable personality.

Although Wang Ningzhi also came from a well-known family, he had profound attainments in calligraphy and was good at cursive script and official script. However, his family's tradition valued literature over martial arts. All the Wang family's children were quite accomplished in calligraphy, but in today's terms, none of them could fight.

The Xie family values ??both civil and military affairs. Xie An is a famous prime minister, Xie Xuan is a famous general.

Xie Daoyun, who was married for the first time, naturally had a gap for a while and looked down on the law-abiding Wang Ningzhi. Therefore, when I returned to my parents' home, I could feel the Wang Lang's sigh in the sky.

But Wang Ningzhi was obviously very good to Xie Daoyun, and Xie Daoyun gradually calmed down. The couple had been together for more than ten years, and they had four sons and one daughter. After Wang Ning's death, Xie Daoyun remained a widow for the rest of his life and vowed not to marry again. In the Jin Dynasty, where etiquette was not designed for celebrities, this was a clear proof of their feelings.

(5) It’s not me at this time, and the great fortune is precarious

Although Wang Ningzhi has literary talent, he is pedantic and believes in the Five Pecks of Rice religion. When Sun En, who was also a believer in the Five Dou Rice Sect, rebelled, as a city guard, he was not prepared to resist, but worshiped the gods. When the city was destroyed, he did not believe that his fellow believers would kill him and did not escape, which ultimately led to the death of himself and his children.

At this time, Xie Daoyun showed the courage and courage of a general's daughter. She moved freely, drew her knife and went out, killing several people with her hands. After being captured, she faced the rebel leader Sun En with righteousness, and Sun En wanted to When she wanted to kill her grandson Liu Tao, Xie Daoyun shouted sternly: "It's up to the king's family, what does it have to do with other clans? This child is her grandson Liu Tao. If you want to punish her, you'd rather kill me first!"

Sun En also did it. Shocked, they were sent back to Kuaiji.

From then on, Xie Daoyun returned to the mountains and forests, accompanying himself with poems and books all day long. He wrote many poems, but most of them have been lost. The only ancient poems that have been handed down are two poems about Mount Tai and a poem about chanting pine trees in Xiangji. ", which fully shows his sad emotion of living in troubled times, unable to control himself, hated by his country and his family, and the time was not up to him.

(6) Where is the pure heart, the mountain moon is illuminated by the snow in the sky

After Xie Daoyun retired to seclusion, he was pure in heart and had few desires, he devoted himself to the mountains and rivers, and wrote books.

For the numerous students who come from far away to study, they spare no effort to teach and solve their doubts. Although he didn't take any disciples, he still had disciples all over the world.

One of the more famous guests who visited was Liu Liu, the newly appointed governor of Kuaiji after the Sun En Rebellion was quelled. Liu Liu was also a celebrity for a while. He only read "Laozi" throughout his life. He had a friend who read widely but could not understand its meaning. To laugh at him, he said: Although you read a lot, you don't understand the meaning. No matter how many books you read, they are just a tool for storing books. Everyone thought what he said made sense. In addition, he was an honest official and was loved by the people, so he became a famous figure for a while.

The benefits are endless. This shows his admiration for Xie Daoyun. It can also be seen that although Xie Daoyun suffered a catastrophe and was lonely in his later years, he had an open-minded mind, an elegant spirit, and a spiritual outlook that understood all principles and principles.

A true goddess is not like a flower in a greenhouse that lives her whole life without going through wind and waves.

But after going through ups and downs, he can still be proud and open in the snow, spreading the fragrance of his spirit to this cold world.

When Xie Daoyun was young, Xie An once asked her which line was the best in "Mao's Poems"? Xie Daoyun replied: There are three hundred poems in the Book of Songs, most of which are mentioned in "Daya Songgao Pian". Jifu composed the poem, and Mu Ru Breeze. Zhongshanfu will always cherish him to comfort his heart.

Xie An praised his niece for her elegant and profound character.

Mu Ruqingfeng is also a portrayal of the goddess's life. Full of literary talents and proud, the spring breeze turns into rain and nourishes all things.
