Xie Jin's talent is amazing.
There was once such a legend: Xie Jincai was highly intelligent, brilliant and quick, and Emperor Yongle liked him very much. Once, a foreign tribute gave Zhu Di a folding fan, and the picture on the fan was very beautiful, but the fly in the ointment was that this fan had paintings but no poems.
Xie Jin adapted a poem by Wang Zhilian into lyrics, only 27 words, but it can be called a swan song for the ages!
At that time, Xie Jin was in front, and Zhu Di ordered Xie Jin to inscribe a poem on the fan on the spot. Xie Jin took the treasure fan and looked at it, which was painted with the scenery of Wang Zhilian's "Liangzhou Ci" in the Tang Dynasty. We have all read this poem: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ”
Xie Jin looked at it, waved it at the fan, and wrote this poem in an instant. Zhu Di was very happy, appreciated it himself, and passed it on to the ministers. Unexpectedly, in a hurry, Xie Jin copied the last word of the first sentence of the poem. Jin Yiwei commanded Ji Gang to always have a grudge against Xie Jin, and he had long wanted to provoke and plant falsehoods, so he caught this credential and immediately slandered Zhu Di, saying that Xie Jin deliberately omitted to write and was guilty of bullying the king.
Xie Jin took the treasure fan and looked at it, and blatantly omitted the word "between". He was startled at first, and then quickly calmed down, and he played to Zhu Di: "This is a poem rewritten by the minister, not a poem." It is not only one word less than Wang Zhilian's "Liangzhou Ci", but also reads differently!Emperor Yongle turned his anger into joy and asked him to read it.
He read: The Yellow River is far away, there are white clouds, and there are thousands of mountains in the lonely city. Why should Qiang Di complain, the willow spring breeze, not the jade gate. ”
When Zhu Di heard it, this sentence was boastful, although it was only 27 words, but the tone was loud, and it was quite unrestrained and unrestrained in the Song people.
