Speaking of Su Shi, the first thing we think of is his open-mindedness, his attitude towards life, people say that everyone lives in the heart of a Su Shi, this sentence is really true!
Everyone wants to have an open-minded and optimistic attitude and live their lives well.
Su Shi's life has experienced many ups and downs, and in the unpredictable changes of life, he has also gained a deeper understanding of life, so in his poetry, there is a profound insight into life.
Su Shi's poems are broad in subject matter, fresh and vigorous, and often contain philosophy, with the typical style of Song poetry, and Huang Tingjian is called "Su Huang"; while the Su words that we are more familiar with have opened up the bold and grand style, and are the representatives of the haofang school with Xin Shuyi, and are called "Su Xin"; Su Shi's prose writings are rich and luxurious, and he is called "Ou Su" with Ouyang Xiu.
However, when Su Shi was 43 years old, he was involved in the "Wutai Poetry Case" because he was implicated in the official partisan struggle, and this huge blow became a turning point in Su Shi's life. It was in this poem case that Su Shi was demoted to the rank of deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment.
It was at this time that he made a friend named Wang Gong.
Wang Gong was also a very talented man, when he was demoted to Lingnan, and Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou. After four years, Wang Gong was reinstated by the officials, and when he returned to Beijing, he wanted to see Su Shi. He went with his own concubine, whose name was Rou Niang.
This little concubine is actually a singer, very beautiful, and the voice is good, when Wang Gong was degraded, she could leave by herself, after all, she looks very beautiful, many male brothers like it!
But she did not do this, so Wang Gong also recognized her and took her back to Beijing with him.
After seeing Su Shi, the three of them went to the tavern together to celebrate, when Su Shi saw this beautiful woman, he thought to himself, is such a beautiful woman really following her friends?
It just so happened that the concubine toasted to Su Shi, and Su Shi asked a very embarrassing question by the way: "Have you never regretted following him to suffer hardships?" ”
The concubine first paused for a moment, and then said 8 words, which made Su Shi admire from the heart!
She said this: This place of peace of mind is my hometown. This means that as long as I can feel at ease, it is my hometown. After Su Shi listened, he felt that this woman was really very affectionate and was also infected by her courage.
Therefore, he wrote this poem "Fixing the Storm. The South China Sea was given to Wang Dingguo's attendant Yu Niang.
Often envious of the human world,
Heaven should beg with a crispy lady.
Pass on the teeth of the song,
When the wind blows, the snow flies and the sea becomes cool.
The more the return of the thousands of miles, the less yan,
Smile, laugh with a plum fragrance.
Ask If Lingnan should be good,
But he said, "This peace of mind is my hometown."
Su Shi's words are like this, behind each word there is an unusual life story, but also Su Shi experienced the wind and rain, after seeing some scenes, improvised to write, but each one, can let posterity to praise!
What is a human life like?
It's like birds flying everywhere. Flying everywhere is the fate of birds, running around is the fate of people, where we leave traces, where we stay, are all accidental, but also inevitable.
Impermanence is the original title of life.
Life is full of accidents, and we need to face these accidents with an inevitable mentality.
Su Shi's life has ups and downs, but he has always maintained an open-minded attitude, which is worth learning.
When I first heard it, I didn't understand the meaning of poetry, but when I understood it, I was already a person in poetry. Since elementary school, we have studied Su Shi's ancient poems and articles in the language class, shaking our heads and reading those poems that seem to be understood but feel very powerful, and when we return home, we do not forget to recite them to our families. Nowadays, in some specific circumstances, those verses come to mind, and I don't know if I will burst into tears or tears will flow into my heart.
Reading Su Shi's words can heal the heart; tasting Su Shi's life makes people excited.
This "Biography of Su Shi" not only collected Su Shi's poems, but also let me really understand his life and read his open-mindedness.
When I approached this "man of temperament" and read the poem "Return, there is no wind or rain and no sunshine", I have a feeling of "I feel sorry for a snow plant in the east column, and life can see a few clear things".
The book I read, The Biography of Su Shi, selects the words and poems that Su Shi composed during his lifetime.
What is rare is that the book also takes Su Shi's words as the theme, starts from the social concepts and the background of the times at that time, conducts an in-depth analysis of Su Shi's life experiences, poetry art, social activities, etc., and reproduces the typical image of Su Shi as a Song Dynasty civil servant who was passed down from generation to generation and entered the world as an official.
The writing is gorgeous and not exaggerated, so calm that you can taste the taste of the world.
The book uses a beautiful and affectionate pen to tell Su Shi's life, which not only enriches the content of the article, but also can appreciate his mood when composing lyrics from Dongpo's life, so as to better understand the transcendent state of mind of this poet.
There is also a copy of this set of books, "The Biography of Xin Abandoning Diseases".
Dongpo Xiancai, no two in history; Jia Xuan xiongcai, like a whale swallowing the sea.
Xin Abandoned Disease is an anti-Jin hero in the chaotic world, he rose up with martial arts, but eventually became a literary business, and su Shi was called "Su Xin", known as "the dragon of words". It is the so-called "sword has a murderous spirit, and the word has tenderness."
This book also reproduces the life of the legend of Xin Abandoned Disease with the same stroke and on the basis of referring to a large number of historical materials.
In addition, there are "Li Qingzhao's Biography", "Li Yu's Biography", "Nalan Rongruo's Biography", and "Cangyang Gyatso's Poetry Biography".
