Xie Daoyun Shirt

A classic gildan cotton tee emblazoned with the Wikipedia article on Xie Daoyun.

Xie Daoyun (Simplified Chinese: 谢道韫; Traditional Chinese: 謝道韞; Pinyin: Xiè Dàoyùn) courtesy name Lingjiang (Chinese: 令姜; pinyin: Lìngjiāng), was a renowned poet of the Eastern Jin dynasty (266–420) CE. She was a native of Yangxia County, Chen Commandery (present-day Taikang County, Henan Province). Though she originally had a poetry collection spanning several volumes, most of her works have been lost over time, with only a few surviving pieces, such as Climbing the Mountain (Chinese: 登山; pinyin: Dēng​shān) and Imitating Ji Kang’s Ode to the Pine (拟拟嵇中散咏松诗).

Xie Daoyun was the niece of Prime Minister Xie An, the daughter of General Xie Yi, the elder sister of General Xie Xuan, and the wife of calligrapher Wang Ningzhi. She is best known for the anecdote about her exceptional literary talent, commonly referred to as the "Talent for Chanting about Snow" (咏絮之才).

Xie Daoyun exemplifies the Wei-Jin Daoist practice of qingtan, the premier form of philosophical discourse of this period.
