Idiom story

The Western Jin Dynasty is a short and dark Dynasty in Chinese history. In 265 ad (the first year of Taishi), Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, replaced Cao Wei regime and established Luoyang as its capital. The ruling clique was decadent and fiercely contending for power and profit. It was only 51 years for the country to perish. If it was calculated from the destruction of Soochow, it would be only 36 years. At that time, a man named Suo Jing saw the serious problems in the Western Jin Dynasty and made an accurate prediction of its demise. Suojing, whose name is Youan, was born in longle (now Gansu Province) of Dunhuang. He was born in an official family and was the grandson of the elder sister of Zhang Zhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His father suozhan served as the northern prefect. Suo Jing had "the quantity of Yiqun" when he was young. He studied in Luoyang Taixue with his fellow countrymen Si Zhong, Zhang Biao, Suo Jie and Suo Yong. Because of his excellent talent, Suo Jing was well-known in the world and was known as "the five dragons of Dunhuang" at that time. Suo Jing was recommended as an official at a young age because he was "knowledgeable in classics and history, and also known as neiwei". Later, he successively served as shangshulang, Jiuquan prefect, grand general, Dangkou general, Sanqi Changshi and other official posts, and was granted the title of Marquis of anleting. Suo Jing is meticulous and has a long-term vision. Soon after the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, there appeared various social phenomena, such as bureaucratic competition for wealth, political corruption and so on. He carefully analyzed these phenomena and predicted that the world would be in chaos and the Jin Dynasty would decline, but he was unable to change this situation, so he was very depressed. One day, he pointed to the bronze camel set outside Luoyang palace and sighed, "I will see you lying in the thorns?" Later, Suo Jing's prediction came true. In 291 A.D. (the 12th year of Taikang), there was a "rebellion of eight kings" in the Western Jin Dynasty. The government was very dim, and all parties had been fighting for 16 years. Luoyang, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty, was seriously damaged. In 303 A.D. (the second year of Tai'an), Sima Gu, king of Hejian, and other soldiers invaded Luoyang. Suo Jing was appointed to an important position and led Guan longyi soldiers to take part in the battle to defend Luoyang. Unfortunately, he was injured and died in the battle. He died at the age of 65. After his death, he was awarded "Sikong" posthumously as Zhuang. It is recorded in the biography of suojing in the book of Jin that "Jing first knew the distance and the world would be in chaos. He pointed to the bronze camel at the gate of Luoyang palace and sighed:" meeting you in the middle ear of thorns! " Later, because of the "copper camel thorns" refers to the broken mountains and rivers, family decline or personnel decline.
