Xie An is talented. At the age of four, Huan Yi praised him as a "beautiful fengshen". I talked to Wang Meng at the age of twenty, and Wang Meng said that he was eloquent and imposing.
Although his popularity is not high, Xie An's interest is seclusion in the mountains. The court summoned him many times, but he only held public office for a few months before he turned forty. The rest are members of Dongshan Mountain, or "travel around" with friends, "teach by example" or "set an example". However, Xie An is not as arrogant as some hermits. He not only associates with all walks of life, but also often watches geisha sing and dance. Therefore, Jian Wendi once said: "Comfort enjoys happiness with others, so you should share your worries with others and come at your call."
At the age of forty, Xie Wan, his younger brother, who served as a senior official in the imperial court, suffered a fiasco before conquering Yan. As a result, the family faced a crisis, and Xie An had to be called out by Fu Huan Wen.
During the official period, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was beset with domestic troubles and foreign invasion. Xie An made every effort to coordinate the interests of all parties, unite the forces of all parties, and make the country maintain peace. He also commanded the famous Feishui War and got rid of the biggest foreign invasion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although his official position has been promoted again and again, he has never been as arrogant as Wang Dun and Huan Wen, but rejected the decree three times. When there are vacancies in Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, everyone thinks that Xie Xuan, the nephew, can hold this position in terms of qualifications and ability. However, in order to avoid the suspicion of the court and balance the psychology of the Huan family, three members of the Huan family were appointed.
After the Battle of Feishui, Xie An was a very important official, and the ruling and opposition parties were in power. However, "the ambition of Dongshan" has never changed. He also prepared ships and equipment to cross the sea, and planned to return to Dongshan by water after the world was generally stable. It's a pity that he suddenly fell ill and died, and his ambition failed, which is regrettable.
Some people say that Xie An's seclusion is false, and it's nothing more than earning fame. He was ridiculed more than once when he first came out of the mountain, but he laughed it off. Throughout Xie An's life experience, it is true to love the freedom of living in Shan Ye and to be brave in serving the country. He is a real celebrity who always keeps a pure heart!

Xie An is gentle, tolerant and generous, and compassionate to others.
When he was seven or eight years old, he went to the government with his brother Xie Yi. An old man broke the law and was punished by Xie Yi for being drunk. Xie An said to his brother, "Brother, I can miss you. How can I do this!" " Xie Yi then released the old man.
After Xie An came to power, he also took "kindness" as the principle. At that time, soldiers and slaves often fled and hid in ships on the south bank of Qinhuai River. It is suggested that the ship be searched. Xie An forbade, saying that if we can't tolerate these people, how can we manage Kyoto well?
I heard that Yang Sui was very talented, so I sent someone to ask Yang Sui to be my official, but Yang Sui refused to come. Later, Yang Sui was appointed as a doctor in imperial academy and came to see Xie An for something. Xie An immediately transferred him to be the master book. Dr. Tai Xue is only the instructor of the school, and the main book is the staff of the general minister, which has a high status. Xie An's not burying Yang Sui is just a disrespect for himself.
Xie An attaches great importance to family ties and takes care of his brothers, sons and nephews. When my brother Xie Wan went to the North, he was arrogant and showed no sympathy for the foot soldiers. Xie An didn't criticize him, but taught him to always entertain generals, but Xie Wan was rude at the banquet. Xie An personally came to the door to sincerely apologize to the generals. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, the generals wanted to get rid of Xie Wan and spared Xie Wanyi's life for Xie An. Xie Wan failed to escape, and even used precious jade to paste the stirrup. Xie An just said, "Where do you need to worry about it now?" No other complaints.
Xie An rowed the boat, and the trackers pulled the optical fiber quickly and slowly for a while, then stopped, sometimes even stopped pulling, and let the boat drift around and hit other boats or banks. Xie An was not angry. It's just that when I came back from my brother Xie Yi's funeral, the drivers were drunk and couldn't control the car. Xie An got angry and hit the driver with a post. It was the day when my eldest brother, who loved him like a father, died, showing how sad he was and lost his nature.

Generosity does not mean cowardice and incompetence, but the other side of Xie An's character, not afraid of power and humiliation in times of crisis.
After the collapse of Jian Wendi, Huan Wen took the opportunity of mourning to overthrow the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang was afraid that Xie An and Wang would have a banquet to get rid of. Wang Tanzhi panicked and asked Xie An what to do. Xie An looked the same and told Jin that the survival of the Jin Dynasty was at stake. During the dinner, Wang's panic was revealed, and Xie An's calmness was even more obvious. After taking a seat, he imitated the loud voice of Luoyang scholar and recited Ji Kang's poem "The mighty torrent, take me to the wooden stick". His magnanimity frightened Huan Wen and made him withdraw from the ambush.
Huan Wen monopolizes state affairs and is overbearing. When he died, he asked the court to add nine tins to him. After Justin finished drafting, Xie An took it and revised it, which dragged on for more than ten days. It was not until Huan Wen's death that Siga fell through.
Fu Jian led the so-called million-strong army to approach Huaihe River and Feishui, which shocked Beijing. Xie An was appointed viceroy, and Xie Xuan and others asked Xie An many times. Xie An came to the villa in the mountain, played chess with Xie Xuan, and blocked the villa. Xie Xuan is better at chess than Xie Xuan, but he lost. After that, Xie An went to the mountain to play again before deploying the generals and giving them face-to-face interviews. By doing so, Xie An must have played an excellent role in stabilizing the military and enhancing everyone's confidence. Xie An was playing chess when Feishui got home. After reading the letter, he threw it on his seat and played chess as usual, turning pale. The guest asked, and then answered slowly, "Children are thieves."
It should be noted that the battle of Feishui is of great significance to both the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Xie family. Failure led to the demise of the rulers, the decline of Xie Jia, the continuation of the rulers, and the prosperity of Jiaxing Xie. Xie An always calmly faced the crisis before the war and the glory after the war. That's generous.

The most admirable thing is that Xie An teaches his nephew very well.
Once Xie An's son probably made some mistakes, so his wife educated his son and then complained to Xie An, "Why don't you ever educate your children?" . Xie An said, "I often teach my children by myself." It means that I often influence my children through words and deeds, rather than preaching.
That's true. Xie Xuan once praised Xie An. When he was having a good time, he was just a scholar who sat up and said something, looking around freely, and there was a gesture of stopping between mountains and rivers. Xie An is so admired by his sons and nephews in his spare time. How can he not have a good influence on children?
Xie An often gets together with his sons and nephews. Once asked why parents want their children to get ahead, Xie Xuan replied, "For example, Yushu in Lan Zhi wants it to be born in terraced fields." One day it snowed honestly, and I asked, "What are successive snows like?" This leads to Xie Daowen's allusion "If catkins are not blown by the wind". Another time, I asked which sentence in the Book of Songs was the best. Xie Xuan said, "I was away, Liu Yiyi. Today I think it's raining. " Xie An said that "urging not to make a decision" (the ruler designated the decree to be macro and promulgated the world) has far-reaching significance.
Sometimes, Xie An also discusses politics with his nephew. Emperor Wu of Jin always gave Dan Tao very little, so Xie An asked his sons and nephews to discuss the reasons. Xie Xuan said that the people who received the reward probably didn't ask much, which made the people who received the reward feel less.
Xie An and his sons and nephews discuss problems and express their opinions, and also allow everyone to express different views. Once Xie An said that the sage was not far from ordinary people, and his sons and nephews disagreed. Xie An lamented that if he wanted to be here, he would agree with himself.
In this unrestrained conversation and discussion again and again, children's love and appreciation of literature, sense of responsibility for home and country, independent thinking ability and writing response ability have been cultivated.
When the nephew made a mistake, Xie An never severely reprimanded him, but took ingenious measures to help him correct it and take care of the child's self-esteem as much as possible. When Xie Xuan was young, he especially liked to wear purple sachets for a while. Maybe this behavior is too feminine. Xie An was worried and didn't want to hurt his nephew's heart, so he won the sachet with gambling and burned it quietly. Xie Yi, Xie An's second brother, used to smoke rats when he was young. Son Xie Lang didn't know that it was the dead father who did it, and he repeatedly teased for it. Xie An said to him, "People used this to slander your father and said that I had done such a thing." Xie Lang regretted hearing this and was embarrassed to leave home for a long time.
It is under the influence of this family style with strong poetic tradition and democratic meaning that Xie Xuan became a Confucian general and a famous talented woman, and later generations Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao followed her legacy.
"In the past, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people." No matter how rich and powerful he was, he wouldn't last long, and the homes of rich people eventually became the homes of ordinary people. But elegant temperament, noble soul and noble quality can go down in history forever, and we can always read and be new.
