Jiabao fruit tree pictures


The victory of the Battle of Feishui cannot be separated from the loyal ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who were in the Cao camp and their hearts were in the Han Dynasty. It cannot be separated from the strategic planning and command of Prime Minister Xie An. It cannot be separated from the Beifu soldiers who are famous and have the best fighting ability in the world. However, even more What cannot be avoided is the founder of this army, the young man known as Xie Jiabaoshu, who is heroic and capable in both civil and military affairs. So that he was on the front line without panic, led the Beifu soldiers to advance and retreat in a well-established manner, and finally defeated the former Qin Dynasty and became famous. Later, he took advantage of the situation to attack the Central Plains. He was no worse than Liu Kun and others. Why was such an outstanding talent not famous in later generations?

Xie Xuan was born in the Xie family of Chen County. At that time, it was a wealthy family, comparable to the Wang family. It was known as "Poetry and Wine". His father was the governor of Yuzhou and General Anxi; his mother was from the Ruan family. , can be regarded as a high-ranking person in the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system, and his uncle is Xie An. Living in that era, he is destined to shine brightly. He was loved by Xie An because of his intelligence since he was a child. At that time, Xie An liked to call his nephews and nephews together to discuss some things. The famous saying "If the catkins are not blown by the wind" came from a family leisure gathering. Xie An once asked, "Since everyone in our family does not need to be an official, why does it require everyone to be talented?" Xie Xuan replied that just like the Zhilan Yushu, it should be allowed to grow in the courtyard in front of the steps. Xie An was very satisfied after hearing this and asked him which sentence in the Book of Songs he liked. "In the past, when I came, the willows clung to me; now when I come to think, the snow and rain fall." Therefore, Xie An praised him and was considered a man of temperament. When he became an adult, he declined the appointment of the state and went to work under the general Huan Wen. He received Huan Wen's courtesy. Later, he trained under General Zhengxi for several years and accumulated basic experience and certain military qualities. At that time, It happened that Fu Jian was threatening the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the court was recruiting talents. Xie Xuan was elected to the court by Xie An. Because of his qualifications and the fact that he had been working for many years, even those who did not deal with Xie An praised Xie An for what he did. Wrong, the country is in need of good generals. At this time, it is natural that someone needs to step forward and be loyal to the country. In this way, Xie Xuan was appointed as General Jianwu and supervised the military affairs in Jiangbei. After Xie Xuan took office, he began to recruit new soldiers and promoted many talents from poor families. Liu Laozhi, He Qian, Zhuge Kan and others were all promoted at this time, and they recruited strong men who were strong and obedient to orders. Trained and provided with sophisticated weapons and equipment, with Liu Laozhi as the vanguard, they defeated the powerful Qin many times and were known as the "Beifu soldiers". It can be said that this army is of great significance in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It has been guarding the Eastern Jin Dynasty since its birth. It was not until Liu Yu seized power with Beifu soldiers and changed dynasties that he perished, and the founder of this army was Xie Xuan. In 378, Fu Jian sent troops to attack Huanchong, and Xie Xuan led troops to support him. As a result, Xiangyang fell soon after, but Xie Xuan still did not change his original intention and insisted on marching. Most importantly, when other reinforcements were defeated, he stormed Tianluo and defeated it. They turned to attack Baima and defeated the vanguard of the former Qin army. They then pursued the victory and started fighting in Junchuan. At the same time, Liu Laozhi, Zhuge Kan and others also received frequent reports of success, intercepting the former Qin's transport ships, and finally forced the former Qin to withdraw. When the Eastern Jin Dynasty was almost completely defeated, he stood out. He regained his morale and won the court's commendation. He was named the champion general (meaning the brave champion of the three armies, unparalleled), the governor of Xuzhou, and then continued to be stationed in Guangling. It was this defeat that made Fu Jian determined to go south in a few years and began to digest the power of the war in the north and accumulate strength. Xie Xuan here was not idle and continued to train his troops.

In 383, Fu Jian felt that the time was ripe and sent troops southward. The number of soldiers and horses from various places added up to millions is certainly not an exaggeration. After all, the entire Yangtze River was at full-scale war. It was so huge that the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not want to fight. However, some knowledgeable people discovered the problem, and Zhu Xu's various intelligence transmissions made the Eastern Jin Dynasty realize that the front line of the former Qin Dynasty was very long, and it might not be impossible to fight. After all, once the front line was lengthened, it could not take care of both the beginning and the end, so it would be difficult to take the initiative The power lies in the hands of Beifu soldiers who have extremely strong combat capabilities. Xie Xuan sent his ace Liu Laozhi with 5,000 men to attack the former Qin's vanguard stationed in Luojian, but he was still outnumbered. As a result, Liu Laozhi defeated the former Qin, and the infantry and cavalry were defeated. They fled in a panic. I don't know what happened. The Beifu soldiers were too powerful, and Liu Laozhi was a well-known general. Maybe he was both. Later, Fu Jian made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and approached Feishui with more than 200,000 forwards without waiting for the follow-up troops. Xie Xuan told Fu Jian to withdraw his troops so that they could fight. Fu Jian's subordinates believed that they could not let the opponent pass. This would give him an advantage, but Fu Jian wanted to attack halfway across the river. What was the result? There was no clear order when retreating, so the army of the former Qin Dynasty was in chaos. In addition, in the panic, it mistook the grass on Bagong Mountain for soldiers and the sound of the wind as the sound of attack. Then it was defeated like a mountain, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty took advantage of the victory to pursue it. I guess they didn't kill as many people as they killed each other. After all, there were a lot of cavalry in the former Qin Dynasty and it was easy for them to trample on each other. If they were not careful, it would lead to mass casualties. It can be said that in this war, Xie Xuan led the Beifu soldiers to defeat the former Qin's forward, and then Fu Jian's two wrong operations eventually led to the death of Marshal Fulong. The army was leaderless, giving Murong Chui's careerists other options. Thoughts eventually led to the fall of the former Qin Dynasty. Xie Xuan here won this impossible battle. His uncle, Xie An, was so excited that he broke his clogs, and his excitement was evident. What's more, what about those ministers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who already felt that their country was about to perish? After that, it was time to pursue the victory. Xie Xuan reported to the court that the Northern Expedition was possible. Then the Eastern Jin Dynasty sent troops to the north, with Liu Laozhi and others as the vanguard to attack Gunzhou. After the big defeat, water transportation was built in Gunzhou to facilitate the transportation of grain and ensure logistics. Then they attacked Qingzhou and defeated it. . Then all the way north, it can be said that it is overwhelming (due to the civil strife in the former Qin Dynasty, it was difficult for the local army to resist the Beifu soldiers). Fu Jian's son Fu Pi did not defeat Xie Xuan, and wanted to surrender to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He can only be said to be a tiger father and a dog son. , and finally the Three Jin Dynasties also surrendered to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as if the victory of the Northern Expedition was in sight. It's a pity that history will not let you go so smoothly. Soon the court officials thought that they should cultivate relations with the people (fearing that Xie Xuan could not be sealed, fearing that Xie's family would not be able to lose his family, fearing that the Beifu soldiers would escape control), coupled with internal rebellion, Xie Xuan was eventually forced to He took the blame and resigned (I don’t know how the blame was dumped on him). Later, when Xie Xuan returned home, he became ill. He asked to resign many times but the court did not allow it. Then he sent an imperial doctor to treat him, but the result was that he was overly ill. To make matters worse, Xie Xuan's various petitions were withheld, and he was even asked to run to Kuaiji to take up his post even though he was seriously ill. The final result was that Xie Xuan died young.

Xie Xuan was worthy of the title of Xie Jiabaoshu, and successfully extended the life of the dying Eastern Jin Dynasty for several decades. Unfortunately, he did not understand the principle of retirement after success, and ended up being dealt with by the court. You can say that you understand the battlefield, but you don’t necessarily understand the court. Later, Hou Jingzhi killed the Wang and Xie families in a chaos, and finally became ordinary people. It can only be said that they were unlucky.

Xie Family  Allusions to "Xie Family" are commonly used in Tang and Song poetry that do not convey the intended meaning. There are two main meanings of these allusions:

(2) The story of Xie Lingyun, a landscape poet from the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Book of the Song·Biography of Xie Lingyun" records: Lingyun "built a separate business in Kuaiji Mountain, close to the mountains and rivers, enjoying the beauty of living in seclusion". This was later used to refer to the aristocratic home or to refer to the beauty of the home.

Tang Dynasty Yang Juyuan's poem "Pei Yin Yuan Waixizhai Viewing Flowers in Summer": "Fang Feichi is the best, but Xie Jialian. "

The allusion of the treasure tree in the Xie family


One: Emperor's Book Baoshutang
After the Battle of Feishui, Xie An's outstanding achievements shocked the Lord, and someone provoked him, so Xie An was suspected by Emperor Xiaowu. This caused dissatisfaction among upright people, and Zhonglang General Huan Yi was one of them. One day Emperor Xiaowu hosted a banquet for his ministers and ordered Huan Yi to play the flute. After playing, Huan Yi asked the zither to play the flute together, and the emperor agreed. Huan Yi then played the zither and sang. He sang a "Song of Resentment": "It is not easy to be a king, but it is difficult to be a good minister. If loyalty is not shown, there will be doubts. Zhou Dan assisted in civil and military affairs, while Jin Teng was disadvantaged in his meritorious service. He pushed his heart to assist the king's government, but his second uncle refuted the rumors. Xie An, who was sitting there, burst into tears after hearing this. Emperor Xiaowu also had a look of shame on his face after listening to Huan Yi's "Song of Resentment" which used ancient satirical advice. After retiring from the court, Emperor Xiaowu suddenly visited Xie An's home in person, and Xie An burned incense to greet him. Emperor Xiaowu saw the lush branches and leaves of Ruibai in front of Xie An's family hall and praised it: "It is also a precious tree. "He also personally wrote to Xie An's house as "Baoshu Hall". This story can be found in "Jin Shu·Huan Yi Biography" and some genealogies.
Part 2: Lanterns and Trees
The Eastern Jin Dynasty was the heyday of the Xie family. Many of the Xie family served as officials in the court, and they were regarded as noble and prominent in the court. At that time, at five o'clock every day, before dawn, officials would go to the morning court with lanterns. After arriving at Jinluan Hall, they would hang the lanterns on the trees outside the door. One day, the emperor saw that the tree was covered with lanterns with the word "Thank you" written on it. It was so bright and dazzling that he praised it: "It is a true treasure tree. " From then on, Xie people took "Baoshu Hall" as the hall name. This story is found in "Baixin Kao" and some genealogies.
Part 3: Zhilan Yushu
One day, when educating his nephew, Xie An said: "How can my son hesitate in personnel matters and want to make them better? "It means, why do fathers and brothers always educate their children so that they can develop in a good direction? No one sitting here could answer. Only Xie Xuan replied: "For example, the orchid and jade trees are happy to grow on the courtyard steps. "It means that good children are like orchids and jade trees. The father and brother want these good flowers and trees to be planted in their own courtyards to add luster to their homes. After hearing this decent answer, Xie An was delighted. From then on, members of Xie Xuan's clan took "Baoshu Hall" as their hall name. This story can be found in "Book of Jin: Biography of Yizi" and some genealogies.

The children of the Xie family indeed stabilized and saved the Eastern Jin Dynasty time and time again. They were loyal, noble, brave and wise. Later, the "Xie family treasure tree" was used as a metaphor for a nephew who can shine in the family.
