Xie Daoyun

Xie Daoyun (謝道韞, before 340–after 399) was a Chinese poet, writer, scholar, calligrapher, and debater of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Her uncle Xie An enjoyed spending time with his nieces and nephews and would quiz them on literature and philosophy.

Xie Daoyun and her children accompanied Wang Ningzhi to Jiangzhou, when he became a regional inspector.

When Sun En led a rebellion, Xie Daoyun tried to warn her husband to raise recruits for defense but is rebuffed, so she gathered and train servants and maids everyday.

Xie Daoyun returned to Kuaiji and lived out her days in the Wang household.
