Su Shi's life is full of ups and downs, he has been degraded many times, and the more he is degraded, the farther away, the hardships in it can be imagined.
However, Su Shi looked at the various tribulations given to him by fate with tolerance and optimism that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Su Shi became more and more frustrated and courageous, and even a little liked to laugh at himself, he once wrote in the "Self-titled Portrait of Jinshan": "Ask Ru Ping's life and deeds, Huangzhou Huizhou Danzhou." “
Huangzhou, is the first stop after Su Shi was degraded, when he first arrived in Huangzhou, his heart was very worried, like a lonely Hong, standing on the sandbank, he could not see the hope of life, but he refused to join the same stream.
However, Su Shi eventually defeated himself and transformed into a more optimistic and open-minded Su Dongpo. In Huangzhou, there was no house to live in, so he built a snow hall, and the money was not enough to spend, so he opened up the wasteland on the eastern slope outside the city to cultivate land and subsidize the family, and the name of Su Dongpo has also spread since then.
Three years later, Su Shi left Huangzhou and went to the capital to take up the position of Hanlin Bachelor. Although there were high-ranking officials in the capital, the political struggle was so serious that Su Shi missed Huangzhou's miserable but simple life even more. Therefore, I wrote down many words of nostalgia for Huangzhou, and this "Such as Dream Ling Youyi" is like this, and its words are:
It is to speak to the east slope. People are in the depths of the Jade Hall. Don't come after anyone, the snow pressure bridge has no way. Return. Return. Spring rain on a plough on the river.
The poem reads like a very cordial letter, and at the beginning he greets his neighbors in Huangzhou, saying that he is bound to the capital. And asked himself who else had been here since he left? Is it also snowing heavily? Blocked the way to come?
At the end of the word, Su Shi expressed his wish, instead of being in the capital, it was better to return to Huangzhou, live idly in the snow hall, and bathe in the gentle drizzle to promote farming.
Su Dongpo also wrote a poem "Like a Dream Ling Chunsi", which also expressed the mood of longing for retreat.
Peach and plum in front of the hand planting hall, infinite green yin qingzi. A hundred tongues outside the curtain, startling five more spring sleep. Lay people, lay people. Don't forget the flowing water of the small bridge.
Huangzhou is Su Dongpo's second hometown, and he truly regards it as his home. In front of the snow hall, he planted peach and plum trees by hand, and a few years later, the saplings of the past were already leafy and full of green fruits.
Where there are trees, there are birdsong, and as soon as the sky is dark, the birds begin to chirp and chirp, awakening themselves from their sleep. All this is common to Su Dongpo, but how worth remembering. How he wanted to see the small bridges and water in Huangzhou again, the fireworks in the human world in Huangzhou, and really wanted to retreat here as soon as possible.
