Chapter 10 The Battle of Feishui(26)
During the Battle of Feishui, the Jin army recovered Shouyang at the Battle of Feishui. Xie Shi and Xie Xuan sent swift horses to Jiankang to report the victory.Xie An was playing chess with a guest at home at that time. He finished reading Xie Shi sent the good news, quietly, conveniently put the good news on the side, still playing chess. The guests know that the front sent the war report, could not help but ask Xie an: "How is the war?"Xie An said slowly, "The children have defeated the Qin people."Hearing this, the guest was so happy that he did not want to play chess any more. He wanted to tell the good news to others as soon as possible, so he said goodbye and left. Xie An saw the guest off and went back to the house. His excitement could not be contained any longer. As he crossed the threshold, he staggered and broke the teeth of his wooden clog. This is the origin of the famous allusion "broken shoe teeth".
In addition, the origin of another famous idiom, ‘Dongshan comeback’, is related to Xie An. At first, before the battle of Feishui, in August 383, Fu Jian personally led an army of 870,000 men to set out from Chang 'an. When the news reached Jiankang, Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin Dynasty and the civil and military officials in the capital were alarmed. The Jin army and people were not willing to let Souther China to fall to the former Qin, and they expected the prime minister Xie An to make the decision. Xie An was born in Yangxia, Chenjun (now Taikang, Henan Province). He was a scholar. He often visited mountains and rivers in Dongshan, Kuaiji, and recited poems and articles. He had a great reputation among the scholar-officials at that time, and was considered to be a very talented man. But he preferred to live in seclusion in Dongshan rather than become an official. At that time, there was a saying among scholar-officials: "If Xie An does not become an official, what will the people do?"He did not become an official again until he was in his forties. Because Xie An had lived in seclusion in Dongshan for a long time, his re-emergence as an official was later called "making a comeback".
