Xunyang fortune telling

one

The ten years of Taiyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, 385 AD, was a year of mixed sadness and joy for Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan, a rider in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was Xie Lingyun's grandfather and brought almost everything to Xie Lingyun. This year, Xie Xuan's only son, Xie Huan, died of illness. But it is gratifying that Xie Xuan's wife Liu gave birth to a white fat boy named Xie Lingyun 10 days before Xie Xuan's death.

Before the age of 4, Xie Lingyun thrived in this environment, but in 388 AD, Xie Xuan was seriously ill and died soon. Xie Xuan's grandson Xie Lingyun was the most uneasy. He wants to arrange his grandson's future. Before his death, he left a will and designated Xie Lingyun as his good friend Du Ming, the master of Qiantang.

Du Ming was a famous Taoist leader in Shi Tian during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said that Du Ming's fortune-telling is very clever, and he can know people's good fortune and bad fortune, and everyone is deified.

Xie Lingyun studied with Master Du Ming for twelve years and spent his childhood and adolescence until he left Beijing at the age of fifteen. In the third year of Jin Longan, that is, AD 399, many things happened in this year, which changed Xie Lingyun's life track again when he was 15 years old.

In March of this year, the master Du Ming passed away. In November of this year, the anti-government army led by general Sun En of the Crusade conquered Huiji, the first important town in eastern Zhejiang, and Qiantang was in jeopardy. In order to let Xie Lingyun continue to grow up peacefully, his grandfather Xie Hun took Xie Lingyun to his healthy home in Kyoto. Xie Hun, the grandson of Xie An and the uncle of Xie Lingyun, was appointed as Prime Minister.

At this time, Xie Lingyun is in adolescence. Most young people in this period like to be cool, and Xie Lingyun is no exception. Handsome Xie Lingyun also likes to ride expensive horses, put on gorgeous clothes and parade around the city. And Xie Lingyun is very particular about the style of clothes. At that time, he was a popular weather vane. His clothes often cause a group of constantly chauffeured men in Beijing to follow suit. When Xie Lingyun was eighteen, he inherited the title of "Le Kang Gong" according to tradition, and owned 3,000 restaurants, so the world called it "Xie Lekang".

It was in troubled times. In troubled times, there was a man named Emperor Wu of Song. He was the later founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was promoted all the way with his brilliant achievements, and finally reached the peak of the Eastern Jin Dynasty because of the storm. However, Emperor Wu of Song and other cold clan forces were not enough to completely replace the cremation at that time. On the contrary, they needed the support of these gentry, and of course the prominent families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty took care of them.

In 405 AD, the court appointed Xie Lingyun as Langya Palace to join the army. Xie Lingyun didn't refuse like last time, but accepted it gladly. This position is the first official position in Xie Lingyun's life. This year, Xie Lingyun was 2 1 year old and began to embark on a long career path.

Langya (now Chuzhou, Anhui Province) stayed in Langya for one year. Xie Hun, the uncle of Xie Lingyun, transferred Xie Lingyun from Langya to Guzhu (now Dangtu, Anhui Province) and worked as a secretary with Mayor Liu Yi. Ancient Shu is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, especially Tianmen Mountain. Later, Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, traveled here many times, leaving a well-known quatrain "Looking at Tianmen Mountain":

The Yangtze River splits the Tianmen Peak like a giant axe, and the green river flows around the island.

The green hills on both sides are neck and neck, and a boat meets leisurely from the horizon.

But even the beautiful scenery, Xie Lingyun has no intention of staying-he is not in the mood. It is not Xie Lingyun's choice to come to aunt. A young man in his twenties is used to the busy life in a bustling metropolis. He was told to live a lonely life in a remote town at once, but no one wanted to change. After all, Xie Lingyun is only 22 years old, so it is too early to consider politically. He pays more attention to poetry and wine, but he still has to listen to his uncle and go. Xie Lingyun lived a lonely life in the ancient town.

Whenever night falls, Xie Lingyun stands on the cold street, looking at the green hills not far away, looking at the cold starlight and thinking about the unknown future.

This life lasted for five years until AD 4 1 1. In April this year, Liu Yi was also the governor of Jiangzhou, and Xie Lingyun, 26, immediately followed Liu Yi to Xunyang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi).

On Lushan Mountain in Xunyang, Xie Lingyun visited a man, that is, Hui Yuan, the master of Tuolin Temple. When Xie Lingyun visited Master Hui Yuan in the mountains, the master was 78 years old. An old man and a young man met and chatted all night, having a good time. Seeing the difficulty in getting water from the temple, Lingyun invested to dig a pond to divert water, and dug a lotus pond full of white lotus.

To commemorate this event, Xie Lingyun also wrote a poem "Pure Land":

France hides the palace, and goes abroad.

I'm willing to say forty-eight, and I swear to save the regiment.

Pure land is wonderful, and everyone comes to the elite.

You can send it when you are old, and you must sign it in the morning when you take advantage.

In 422, Liu Yi was promoted to Jingzhou secretariat, and Xie Lingyun was transferred to Jingzhou. However, Liu Yi did not trust to be the secretariat of Jingzhou, and wanted to compete with his eldest brother Emperor Wu of Song. Eldest brother got angry and used the imperial edict to crusade against Liu Yi. Soon, Liu Yi was defeated and committed suicide in a place called Niumu Temple.

Liu Yi was destroyed, especially because Liu Yi was implicated in Xie Hun's death. For Xie Lingyun, it was like a bolt from the blue, and Xie Lingyun was like a thunder. What are the benefits of hanging out with Liu Yi? It's scary to think about it.

Xie Lingyun looked up at the autumn night sky, and the lonely starlight shone on the horizon. Tomorrow, I want to know where I will be. The sun is still shining tomorrow, but can you still see it yourself?

Xie Lingyun stayed up all night.

The second day early in the morning, someone came to report that Emperor Wu of Song ordered all the subordinates and soldiers of Liu Yi to be pardoned and reorganized into Emperor Wu of Song's army to continue to serve the imperial court.

Xie Lingyun was relieved, and then a new order came. Xie Lingyun was named Qiu by Emperor Wu of Song and joined the army. In the second year, in February of April13, Emperor Wu of Song returned to Beijing, and Xie Lingyun also returned to Jiankang with him. That year, Xie Lingyun was 29 years old.

Wuyi Lane, near Zhuque Bridge, is the former residence of Xie Jia. Later, Liu Yuxi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Wuyi Lane":

There are weeds and flowers beside Suzaku Bridge, and the sunset at the entrance of Wuyi Lane is oblique.

In the past, swallows flew to the homes of ordinary people in front of Xie Wang Hall.

Xie Lingyun once again lived in Wuyi Lane. Look at the small bridge flowing water, surrounded by green water, and the bluestone in the corner and the moss on the green hill. Xie Lingyun has mixed feelings in his heart.

Yes, Wuyi Lane is on the rainy Qinhuai River. It is ethereal in this world and flows through the other side of time. Qingshan does not change, Wuyi Lane has never changed for anyone.

At that time, the influence of aristocratic families was still very strong after all, and Emperor Wu of Song adopted preferential policies for aristocratic families. Therefore, Xie Lingyun's official position has risen instead of falling. Soon after he entered Beijing, he was appointed as a secretary by the court.

Secretary cheng, equivalent to the current director of the national archives bureau. A secretary is a leisurely job with little real power, but she has a high social reputation. Got an idle job with a high position, and Xie Lingyun lived a quiet life in Wuyi Lane. He just wants to live a quiet life, writing poems and drinking in Wuyi Lane.

4/kloc-in June of 0/9, Emperor Wu finally got the chance, and he was about to realize his great ambition. Emperor Wu of song entered the palace and forced Sima Wende to meditate. Since then, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has perished, and Emperor Wu of Song proclaimed himself. History entered the Southern Dynasties. Emperor Wu of song appointed Xie Lingyun to return to Beijing as a Sanshou regular waiter, namely the secretary of the emperor.

After leaving Beijing for so long, coupled with the promotion of his position, Xie Lingyun was of course full of joy and rushed home. However, the unlucky Xie Lingyun had a very gossip scandal at his home in Wuyi Lane, for which Xie Lingyun also lost his job.

Xie Lingyun found a servant named Guixing having an affair with his beloved concubine. Xie Lingyun was furious and sent someone to drag Guixing to the Yangtze River and kill him, and then dumped him in the river. Xie Gong is really cruel! After this incident, Emperor Wu of Song got a letter notice. Soon, Xie Lingyun not only lost his official position, but also was demoted. Xie Lingyun was reduced to the Hou of Kangle County, and the treatment was reduced from 2,000 households in the previous food city to 500 households. Xie Lingyun lost his official position and was demoted. The most depressing thing is that you can't talk and show any complaints. Not only that, you have to apologize, make a profound review to the court, and write a profound letter of accusation. Xie Lingyun also wrote a critical letter-"Xie Feng Le Kang Hou Biao". Emperor Wu of song's attitude towards noble families has always been to adopt yin and yang techniques of pressure and pull. When I saw Xie Lingyun's self-criticism letter this time, I put it down and let him be reinstated. This year, Xie Lingyun was 36 years old.

Xie Lingyun made a good friend in the palace named Liu Yizhen, the second son of Emperor Wu of Song, but this Liu Yizhen was extremely immature. After drinking, Liu Yizhen announced: "If one day I master the imperial court, I will appoint Xie Lingyun as prime minister." Who knew that walls have ears? Soon, Liu Yi's truth reached the ears of Xu Xianzhi, the then minister of Gu Ming, and others, causing a fatal disaster to himself. Xie Lingyun was demoted to Yongjia Prefecture (Wenzhou). Wenzhou at that time was not as good as Wenzhou now, and it was basically a place where birds didn't shit.

In the autumn of 422, Xie Lingyun took a nap in his hometown for a few days and set foot on the road to Yongjia. The boat was sailing on the Fuchun River in the mountains, and Xie Lingyun wrote a poem "Seven Miles of Wrasse" on the boat:

Heart accumulates in autumn morning, and morning accumulates in exhibition. Lonely guests are sad and turbulent, and the journey is arduous and steep.

The shallow water is gurgling, and the setting sun shines on the mountains. If the barren forest is crowded, the whining birds will scream.

If you are mourned by something, you should keep it well. It not only captured the emperor's heart, but also could not blame the previous generation.

Seeing Yanzi's color, I think it belongs to Rengong fishing. Who says ancient and modern times are different, and different worlds can be the same?

The first eight sentences of this poem describe who visited autumn scenery from Qili in Tonglu. In the early morning of late autumn, the poet's heart is more melancholy. Xie Lingyun fell in love with nature in order to relieve his depression, see the scenery. Xie Lingyun was sad that the rushing water was rolling away, and the afterglow of the sunset painted a touch of gold on the steep cliff. Although it is already late autumn, the Fuchun River is still covered with mountains and plains, with lush bamboos and lush vegetation. Only the homing birds in the twilight bring inexplicable and faint pain to the poets on the journey.

The last eight sentences of the poem are many scenes that Xie Lingyun saw on his way to his post, such as autumn water, sunset, barren forest and mourning birds, which evoked the sadness of Xie Lingyun's relegation. He thinks he is a saint, so in this chaotic last days, he is not afraid of the cynicism of others. Touching the scene and thinking about people, passing by Yanling, Xie Lingyun remembered Yan Guang, a master who had lived in seclusion here.

The poem "Ren Gong Fishing" is a fable in Zhuangzi's foreign articles. A son named Ren tied a huge hook with a thick rope and used fifty cows as bait. He squatted on the Kuaiji Mountain and threw the hook into the East China Sea. Nothing happened for a whole year. A year later, a big fish took the bait. The big fish danced like a fin mountain, bumping up and down in the sea with a huge hook, causing waves. After Ren Gongzi caught this fish, he made it into dried fish for people to enjoy. Today, most people in China, east of Zhejiang and north of Cangwu Mountain, are tired of eating fish. This fish must be very big.

Xie Lingyun went to Yongjia as the county magistrate, that is, the mayor of Yongjia City. This is the first time that Xie Lingyun has presided over the overall work. In the past, Xie Lingyun's official position, no matter how high his rank was, was actually to cooperate with his work and did not reflect his ability to manage the world. But in Yongjia, it provided a stage for him to display his talent in running the world.

Xie Lingyun is laissez-faire. Without official duties, he naturally has free time to play. Xie Lingyun only stayed in Yongjia for more than a year, during which he was seriously ill at the end of the year and stayed in bed for three months until the next spring. However, this short period of more than a year is the peak of his landscape poetry creation. There are only more than 40 existing landscape poems, and more than 20 poems describing Yongjia landscape.

One day, Xie Lingyun went out to observe the people's feelings and came to an inn by Jingning River. After dinner, he snuggled up in bed and read a book. "Dong ..." There was the sound of stairs, and someone came to bring him tea. Xie Lingyun looked up and saw a girl of 15 or 16, dressed simply, with her hair full of ribbons. He casually recited: "Six feet of ribbon, three feet of head wrap, three feet of hanging".

Unexpectedly, the girl smiled faintly at Xie Lingyun and replied, "A quilt, half covered and half empty."

Xie Lingyun was surprised. I didn't expect the girl to be so talented and so neat. Unfortunately, her tone is a little light. I have a man and a woman. How can you say that the old quilt is half empty? Service road: "Bamboo has no intention, but there are many side effects."

Hearing this, the girl knew that what she had just casually said was misleading, and immediately replied, "Although there is a hole in the lotus root, it is not touched at all."

When Xie Lingyun heard this, he knew that what he said was not frivolous, but unintentional. He deliberately sighed: "Alas! The mountains are deep and the forests are dense, so teach the woodcutter how to start. "

The girl calmly replied: "Hey! The water is clear and the sand is shallow, and fishermen are advised not to disturb. "

Answer, make tea and take the door downstairs. Xie Lingyun watched the girl leave the room and said to himself, "The mountain is high and the stream is small. How can there be such a strange girl?"

It happened that the girl heard it on the stairs, so the clear voice replied, "The remote village is poor, so don't neglect the distinguished guests."

On another occasion, Xie Lingyun came to the Harmony River and saw picturesque clear water. He is so excited about poetry that he wants to say a few words. Suddenly, under the weeping willow, two girls in red were washing gauze by the water, and there was gentle laughter in the wind. Xie Lingyun boarded the boat and walked to the two girls.

The two girls suddenly saw a stranger coming towards them, and immediately put away their laughter and bowed their heads. Xie Lingyun thought, why don't I throw a stone to ask for directions and try the talents of those two girls, so I cleared my throat and casually recited: Who is the girl with gauze and a big sweat and a new suit? Why be silent to others?

The two girls didn't answer, but looked up and smiled at Xie Lingyun. Oh, that girl is really beautiful, and her smile is even more beautiful. Xie Lingyun shine at the moment, was about to come forward to speak again. Who knows, two girls picked up bamboo baskets and ran along the stream bank. Xie Lingyun followed him down the river and came to a deep pool. He saw two girls put down their bamboo baskets and both bent down to wash the yarn. Xie Lingyun thought, what an arrogant peasant. If you ignore me, I have to Doby you to see if you two can talk. Then he went up to the two girls and shouted, I'm Xie. I hit two cranes with an arrow. Excuse me, Miss Huansha, where did the arrow fall?

After singing, I only heard two girls "eat" and smiled, and then they all said in unison: My concubine is a carp in this pond and occasionally plays on the beach. Where can you find it when you go back to the swimming pool?

As soon as the song fell, the two girls jumped hand in hand into the deep pool where the blue waves rippled. The pool splashed and was as calm as a mirror. Looking closely, I saw two red carp swimming in the blue waves. They shook their heads and tails at Xie Lingyun three times, and both of them dived to the bottom.

When Xie Lingyun saw the girl jump over the pool, he realized that the two girls were carp essence. Xie Lingyun took out his pen and ink and wrote the words "Huanshatan" beside the deep water pool. Later generations are also called Tan.

In the autumn of 423 A.D., that is, the second autumn when Xie Lingyun took office in Yongjia, Xie Lingyun finally got tired of the ups and downs of his official career and decided to abandon his official position and live in seclusion.

Xie Lingyun resigned and retired for the following reasons: First, Xie Lingyun was really ill, and his long-term illness tortured him, making him unable to display his talents and ambitions. Second, Xie Lingyun is homesick and eager to return to his hometown as soon as possible and reunite with his relatives. Third, his strong desire to retire made him unwilling to be an official in this remote Yongjia. He hopes to return to the countryside and go to nature.

In the third year of Yuanjia (426), Liu Yilong (Liu Yizhen's younger brother) usurped the throne and rehabilitated his younger brother Liu Yizhen. Liu Yilong immediately summoned Xie Lingyun as the secretary supervisor, which is to let Xie Lingyun serve as the director of the National Library again.

For this comeback, Xie Lingyun originally wanted to do something. He hopes to really participate in political affairs and realize his lifelong ideals and ambitions. However, Xie Lingyun once again misjudged Liu Yilong and himself. Liu Yilong used him only to show reconciliation to the politicians who used to be in Liu Yizhen, and also to win over the Xie Wang gentry represented by Xie Lingyun. Therefore, Xie Lingyun is not only not active in his work, but also often refuses to go to court on the pretext of illness. He found some skilled craftsmen to dig ponds, plant trees, bamboo and flowers in the old house in Wuyi Lane, and engage in garden construction. I went out to travel when I was in a good mood, and I went for ten and a half days without even asking for a vacation.

After working for two years, Xie Lingyun resigned again and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. Xie Lingyun, who once again returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, had no illusions about the court and acted more perversely and dissolutely.

One day, Xie Lingyun and Wang Hongzhi, a celebrity, got together at the Qianqiu Arena in Huiji and drank too much. Xie Lingyun got carried away, took off his clothes, was naked and shouted around the pavilion. This matter soon reached the beloved ears of the magistrate of Huiji County. Meng Ai thought it was disgraceful and sent someone to ask Xie Lingyun. After hearing this, Xie Lingyun was furious and scolded: It's none of your business that I shouted happily naked!

In his hometown, Xie Lingyun always built a house to buy land, and also grabbed land with others, causing some people's dissatisfaction and suing the court. The court then appointed Xie Lingyun as the secretariat of Linchuan (now Fuzhou, Jiangxi), but at the same time increased the rank of 2000 stone. The treatment of 2000 Stone is ministerial-level treatment, that is to say, Xie Lingyun's official position is ministerial-level, but he enjoys ministerial-level treatment, which shows that Song Wendi Liu Yilong takes good care of Xie Lingyun.

When Xie Lingyun arrived in Linchuan, he ignored political affairs and enjoyed himself every day. In the court's view, this is dereliction of duty and should be used to blame. Zheng Jinjing, the director of Linchuan Supervision Bureau who worked with Xie Lingyun, told Xie Lingyun that he was "lazy". The court sent messengers to Linchuan to arrest Xie Lingyun and take him back to Beijing. When Zheng He's emissary arrived in Linchuan, no one expected that Xie Lingyun, who has always been extremely clever, made a shocking thing: he sent troops to detain Zheng He's emissary. This is a great sin of rebellion. What is even more surprising is that Xie Lingyun also made a naive and fatal mistake. He actually wrote an anti-poem:

Ovarian excitement, Qin even humiliated.

Originally from Jianghai, he is a loyal and righteous gentleman.

This poem mentions two people, Sean and Lu Zhonglian.

It was Zhang Lai who sent someone to smash Qin Shihuang's car with a sledgehammer, and it was Lv Zhonglian who advised Ping Yuanjun not to surrender to the Qin Dynasty anyway. Xie Lingyun wrote this poem in a flash of inspiration, which was a great disadvantage to me. Xie Lingyun resisted arrest and anti-poetry was introduced into the court. When the imperial court saw that it was a rebellion, it was not bad, and immediately sent troops to encircle it. Xie Lingyun became a prisoner and was escorted to Beijing. In the past, Liu Yilong did not give the death penalty, but exiled Xie Lingyun to Guangzhou.

On the way to Guangzhou, Xue Daoshuang, a former subordinate of Xie Lingyun, gathered a group of strong men to rob the prison car and rescue Xie Lingyun. As a result, I didn't touch the prison car, and there was no money on the road, so I started stealing along the way.

This matter was quickly reported to the court, and Song Wendi Liu Yilong sheltered Xie Lingyun again and again. This time, he conspired to rob the prison car, adding to the crime, so he wrote a letter: "Xie Lingyun was sentenced to abandon the city in Guangzhou" and was beheaded in the Guangzhou vegetable market.

In the 10th year of Yuanjia in the Southern Song Dynasty, namely 165438+ 10, Xie Lingyun was executed in Guangzhou. Before his execution, Xie Lingyun wrote the last poem "The Last Poetry":

Gong Sheng didn't rest, and Ye had an end. When justice is forced, Huo's life will be ruined.

Sad frost leaves, nets and wind bacteria. Come across geometry, short-term repair is not what you want.

It took me a long time to send my heart to my heart. If you hate my ambition as a gentleman, you won't get lost on the rocks.

Gong Sheng, Ye Li, Ji Shao (the son of Ji Kang) and Huo Yuan in the poem, whose deeds are similar to those of Sean and Lu Zhonglian mentioned in the rebellion poem, are all "loyal ministers" who are willing to sacrifice their lives to maintain the first dynasty and discipline.

Presumably at this moment, Xie Lingyun believes that he will become one of them and will go down in history as well as them; Presumably at this moment, Xie Lingyun will go to disaster, but his heart is full of awe-inspiring persistence in power and morality. But everything came to an abrupt end with a knife light, and a literary genius and a great poet fell. This year, Xie Lingyun was 49 years old.

Before the execution, the supervisor asked Xie Lingyun: What else do you want to entrust? Xie Lingyun said: If you die, you will die. What do you care? Unfortunately, I have a good beard! If after my death, you can cut off my beard and make it into a statue of Vimala Bodhisattva in Nanhai Ruo Temple, I will be satisfied! "Later, after Zuohuan Temple in Nanhai accepted the name of this talented person, it did not dare to neglect, so it immediately made a statue of Vimalakīrti and stuck Xie Lingyun's beautiful moustache on it.

More than 300 years later, Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, visited Dongshan, Shangyu, Zhejiang Province, Xie Lingyun's hometown, and wrote a poem "Xie Gongzhai":

Castle peak will die, loneliness will thank public houses.

There is silence in the bamboo, and the moon in the pool is blank.

The waste president is full of weeds, and the waste well is full of moss.

Only the breeze is idle, and the spring stone rises.
