Er Xie(Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao):The Model of Song Dynasty People's Pursuit of the Scholarly Prefecture Chief
The Song Dynasty people creatively integrated"talented"and"Xieshou(prefecture chief Xie Lingyun)"into an elegant term of"Talented Xieshou".The core connotation of"Talented Xieshou"lies in the ability to write poetry,which is the product of the combination of Er Xie(Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao)and the concept of"scholarly prefecture chief".It is also the result of the Song Dynasty people's promo-tion of the concept of"scholarly prefecture chief"to the previous generation.During the Song Dynasty,the magistrates of a prefecture,especially those in Wenzhou and Xuanzhou,were the main admirers of"Talented Xieshou".They expressed their recognition of Er Xie through behavioral imitation and psycho-logical admiration.Studying the reception of Er Xie in the Song Dynasty from the perspective of prefecture chief can help to understand the literary inheritance and cultural psychology of this specific group of prefecture chiefs.
