During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a person named Xie An, who was not only highly talented, but also good at calligraphy and good writing. Xie An was reluctant to be an official, so he began to be a writer, and soon resigned on the grounds of illness. He lived in seclusion in Dongshan in Shangyu, Huiji, Zhejiang, and often traveled with Wang Xizhi to play in the mountains and rivers, writing poems and essays.

The court called him to be a minister, but he refused. Later, Huan Wen, the general of the imperial court and the son-in-law of Emperor Sima Shao of the Ming Dynasty, asked Xie An to be Sima Xila, and he had to agree. By this time he was in his forties.

On the day Xie An was about to take office, the ** people in the court came out to welcome. At this time, there was a ** named Gao Xiang, jokingly said to him: You used to lie high in Dongshan, repeatedly violated the will of the imperial court, and refused to come out to be an official, and I couldn't imagine that I would come out today.

Later, Xie An has always achieved the official position of prime minister, and in the famous battle of Weishui between the former Qin State and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he sent his younger brother and nephew as generals to lead the army to meet and defeat Fu Jian's million-strong army.

Gong Xi took his nephew Xi Mai and nephew Zhou Yi to dinner together, and the villagers told him that everyone is very poor now, and if he adds two children, I am afraid he will not be able to support them together.

After that, Gong Xi went to eat alone, and put the rice next to his cheeks, and when he came back, he vomited it to the two children, and the two children survived. This is the famous "Xi Gong Hanyu". When Gong Xi died, Zhou Yi served as the commander of the county, he resigned and went home, laid a straw mat in front of the bed of Gong Xi, and mourned Gong Xi for three years.

He also planted 200 yellow mandarin trees on the outskirts of the city and planted a large number of willow trees by the Liujiang River; Other measures have also been taken to stabilize the people's livelihood and develop production.
