all one's life
His father Xie Yao is a master of Confucian classics in eastern Fujian, especially in the study of Spring and Autumn Annals, with books such as Spring and Autumn Annals and Zuo's Syndrome Differentiation. Xie Ao received a good family education from an early age, familiarized himself with the biographies of loyal heroes in history, and developed the uninhibited character and loyalty of feudal literati. As a teenager, I moved to Pucheng with my father. In the first year of Xianchun (1265), he went to Lin 'an to take part in the imperial examination, but failed to do so. He composed 12 Song Zu Song Advocacy and 10 Riding a Horse Blowing, which were adopted by Taichang Temple as court music. Wu Lai, a writer in the Yuan Dynasty, praised his poems and songs, which were dazzling and magnificent in rhyme.
In the first month of the second year of Song Deyou (1276), Yuan soldiers captured Lin 'an. In May, Song Duanzong ascended the throne in Fuzhou and changed to Yuan Jingyan. In July, Wen Tianxiang, the right-hand prime minister, was appointed as the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of various military forces, and spread to all states and counties, as well as the diligent king of soldiers. Xie Ao spent all his money, recruited hundreds of villagers, went to Nanjian Prefecture (now Nanping) to go to Wen Tianxiang, and was appointed as a counselor to join the army. The following year, Yuan soldiers entered Fujian from Zhejiang, and Xie Ao followed Wen Tianxiang to fight against the Yuan army and moved to Longyan in western Fujian, Meixian in Guangdong and Huichang in Jiangxi. Wen Tianxiang was defeated and retreated. When I shook hands with Xie Ao in Zhangshui, Ganzhou, I gave a Guangdong inkstone. Soon, the Yuan army occupied Jiangxi, and Xie Ao left Ganzhou and sneaked back to his ancestral home Pucheng to farm.
In the 16th year of Yuan Dynasty (1279), he moved to Zhejiang because of the oppression of the corvee by Yuan people. Three years later, when I heard the news that Wen Tianxiang was killed in Yanjing Chai City, I was extremely indignant. I often travel alone in eastern Zhejiang. When I saw the scenery similar to that when I shook hands with Wen Tianxiang, I wandered around, looked around and cried. During his stay in Zhejiang, Xie Ao lived in seclusion in the mountains and often explored the Range Rover. His friends were all adherents of the Southern Song Dynasty. The establishment of Xizhi Society was closely related to the poets Fang Feng and Wu Siqi who presided over gangwon Society, as well as the famous literati Janice and Deng Mu at that time. After the death of Song Dynasty, he still insisted on writing and wrote a lot of poems commemorating the motherland and Wen Tianxiang. Although the Yuan people pursued it closely, they still had an original intention for the Song Dynasty, and they often used poems to express their ambitions.
In the 21st year of the Yuan Dynasty (1284), Yang Lian Jia Zhen, a monk of the Yuan Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, excavated the tomb of Song Huiji, built the Zhennan Tower with the remains, and built the Tianyi Temple with the gold, silver and jewels obtained. Xie Ao helped Lin Jingxi, a native of Huiji and Pingyang, Wenzhou, pretend to be a herbalist and took the risk of secretly replacing other people's bones with those of Xiao Zong. He also invited Fisherman's Network to obtain the skull of Song Lizong, who was put into the lake by Yuan Bing, and transferred it to Lanting Mountain in Shaoxing for burial. After the burial, the holly tree transferred to the Forbidden City in the Song Dynasty was planted on the grave as a symbol. Xie ao wrote "preface to holly": May your heart remain unchanged, and this tree will eventually blossom! Express confidence in resisting rejuvenation. In the twenty-seventh year of Zhiyuan (1290), Xie Ao boarded the Diaoyutai, set up a Wen Tianxiang card in the corner of the barren pavilion, struck the stone with bamboo wishful thinking, and sang the words of evocation, saying: The soul is extremely extreme, and the water is dark at dusk, turning into a Zhu bird that babbles. The pain of national subjugation is beyond words, and the song dynasty is broken. At the same time, Xie Ao also wrote a famous essay "Mourning in the West Taiwan", and his poems "Crying to Know", "Crying in the West Taiwan" and "Crying to Thank the Public" are all works to mourn the old country and old friends.
During Zhenyuan period (1295), Xie Ao lived in West Lake, Hangzhou, and died of recurrent lung disease. His friends Fang Feng and others followed his instructions, buried Xie Ao in the south of Diaoyutai in Yan Ziling, and built the Xu Jianting in front of the tomb.
Literary works
Xie Ao is good at poetry, prose and ci, especially poetry. His poems focus on hard thinking and tempering, which are both gloomy and vigorous, good at twists and turns and good at creating new situations. Many poems truly reproduce the desolate scene of the occupied area at that time: the rain mortar returns to the raw fish, and the hole worm wishes the children a full house; Describe the bitterness of being a believer: the night is long and sunny, and there is nothing to do; Expressing deep sorrow for Wen Tianxiang's death: crying as a bosom friend in his later years, to abolish the day; To tell the truth, I am ashamed to restore the country: the revenge of whipping the corpse has not been reported, and the letter has won completely. His poems profoundly reflect important political current events and expand the field of poetry expression; In terms of artistic techniques and composition patterns, we can learn from the strengths of various schools and innovate them to make them unique. For example, breaking the barrier of independence and self-defense of quatrains, using quatrains as poems to describe twists and turns, and pouring out resentment and grief won people's praise at that time. Xie Ao's poems have far-reaching influence. Evaluation of Ming Dynasty: After learning Li He's poems, he was ten times better than Yang Tieya (Wei Zhen) when he entered the room. It imitates the style of Meng Jiao, ... suburban islands can't be crossed. Ji Yun in the Qing Dynasty pointed out: At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the style of writing was humble and weak, and Du Ao's poems were fantastic, but the festival was also remarkable. Modern Taiwan Province poets once wrote: Who decides Yue Quan's poetry quantity? Still waiting for the hair at that time. Yao Yi recalled that Xie joined the army, and Zhu Bird was independent in West Taiwan, which inspired Taiwan Province progressive poets to inherit Xie Ao's patriotic poetic style.
Xie Ao wrote nearly 100 books before his death, and only "Mourning at Dengxi Station", "Heaven and Earth Collection", "Xi Fa Collection" 10, "Xi Fa Collection" and "Xi Fa Bu" 1 volume have been handed down so far.
