Jianjiantong media ID: jianzhong001 Chinese civilization, broad and profound, has a long history, behind each idiom there is a short story
. 
Or ups and downs, or implicit beautiful, or exciting
. 
For example, the idiom “comeback” refers to taking up an important position again
. 
It also refers to gaining power again after losing power
.
But which mountain does “Dongshan” refer to? However, few people know the literary stories behind it
.
The story behind the story is also related to xie’an
.
Xie an, whose name is Anshi, was born in Taikang, Henan Province
.
He was a famous politician and scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty
.
Xie an was born in a famous family
.
His great grandfather Xie Zan was a general in charge of agricultural production, civil affairs and land rent
.
His grandfather Xie Heng was the prince’s junior Fu, and his father Xie Li was the Minister of the Ministry of officials
.
Xie Anzu was born as an official for several generations, so he was born in the fourth generation
.
According to the records of the book of Jin, Xie an was smart and intelligent since childhood
.
When he was 4 years old, a famous scholar named Huan Yi saw it and said, “Xie An Mei is clear eyed and beautiful
.
When he grows up, he will be more famous than Wang Donghai (Wang Cheng, the first scholar in the early Jin Dynasty)
.
Sure enough, during his childhood, Xie an was outstanding for his calm and sophisticated calligraphy, which was appreciated by Wang Meng, a famous scholar, and Wang Dao, the prime minister
.
Later, when the imperial court recruited officials (recommendation system at that time) and invited Xie an to write for situ Fu (assisting in the compilation of National History), he was strongly rejected by Xie an
.
At that time, Xie an only wanted to live in seclusion and enjoy the mountains and waters
.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, reclusion prevailed, and many talented people often despised officialdom
.
The well-known Tao Yuanming was a typical representative
.
Xie an was born in a well-known family
.
He was well-dressed and well fed
.
He refused to be an official for many times
.
He lived in seclusion in the east mountain of Shanyin County of Kuaiji
.
He made friends with Wang Xizhi and Xu Xun
.
He spent all his time touring the mountains and enjoying the water
.
At the age of 41, Xie an’s grandfather and father died one after another, and his younger brother Xie Wan was dismissed because of the failure of the northern expedition
.
The power of Xie’s family began to decline, and his family began to decline
.
There was no way for Xie an to recover and prepare to leave the mountain
.
In 360 A.D
.
(the fourth year of Shengping), general Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty came to the door and invited Xie an to be Sima
.
This time, Xie an did not refuse
.
After Xie an’s comeback, from Sima to Zhongshu, and then to situ, he climbed step by step, which also made “the Jin family rely on to turn the corner.” There are two main achievements after Xie an came out of the mountain: one is to defeat Huan Wen’s intention of usurping the throne; the other is to successfully command the Feishui war
.
At that time, Huan Wen was a high ranking official
.
Like Cao Cao, he has the image of a traitor
.
He once said: “we can’t live forever, but we should also have a bad memory.” Later, he supported Sima Yu, the little emperor, to usurp the throne
.
Xie an was calm and intelligent
.
At last, he helped himself to maintain the imperial power and avoid civil strife
.
Undoubtedly, his contribution was huge, which made him famous in history
.
The battle of Feishui is a very famous classic battle in the history of China
.
In August 383, Fujian of the former Qin Dynasty led a million troops to the south to attack Jin
.
When the state of Jin was in great danger, the emperor granted Xie an the title of governor of the capital to fight against the enemy
.
Xie an was ordered in the face of danger
.
He dispatched troops, reorganized up and down, and made clear rewards and punishments
.
He was bound to fight Fu Jian to the death
.
Soon, Fujian’s men and horses hit the Huaihe River and Feishui river
.
As soon as they crossed the river, it would be difficult for them to survive in the Eastern Jin Dynasty
.
Xie an knew that with 80000 officers and soldiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, fighting with Fujian would be like beating a stone with an egg
.
But he sat in the East Mountain, arranged his troops, and was not in disorder in the face of danger
.
Later, he sent his nephew Xie Xuan to the front line
.
Before he left, Xie Xuan didn’t know how to fight
.
When he asked Xie an, he only said, “the court has its own arrangements.”
.
Until the evening, Xie an just played chess and didn’t mention the war
.
Just when Xie Xuan was puzzled, Xie Ancai took out the list of generals and put out the “eight trigrams array”
.
All the generals and men acted according to the plan, and finally won with less
.
The story of Xie an is very similar to that of King Zhuang of Chu in the Warring States period
.
When he lived in seclusion, he lived in seclusion and enjoyed it; when he was an official, he was brilliant and famous in history
.
It is based on this background and story that the mountain where Xie an lived in seclusion before he came out of the mountain is called “Dongshan”, which is also the idiom “Dongshan rises again” handed down by later generations
.
Xie an, when his name was written into the annals of history, also began to become an image model of literati
.
For example, the Tang Dynasty writer Liu Yuxi wrote in his poem Wuyi Lane: “the wild grass and flowers by the Zhuque bridge, the sunset at the entrance of Wuyi lane
.
In the old days, the swallow in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people
.
” Xie in this poem refers to Xie an, the famous Prime Minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty
.
According to modern literature and history, Dongshan, where Xie an lived in seclusion, is located in Shangpu Town, southwest of Shangyu District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, about 13 kilometers south of Shangyu City
.
At the foot of Dongshan, to the west is the Cao’e River, the largest river in Shaoxing
.
It flows from south to North and finally flows into Hangzhou Bay
.
There is a huge stone hanging in Dongshan and xie’an Diaoyutai beside the river
.
This place has beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, and is really the first choice for seclusion
