Shi's third wife was Wang Chaoyun, 27 years younger than Su Shi.
Wang Chaoyun was originally a singer in the Hangzhou song and dance class, Wang Runzhi redeemed herself and became the maid of the Su family, at this time Wang Chaoyun was only 12 years old, and when she grew up, Su Shi accepted her as a concubine, so in terms of status, Wang Chaoyun was inferior to Wang Fu and Wang Runzhi, but this did not affect her deep love affair with Su Shi.
Wang Chaoyun is very beautiful and can sing and dance, Su Shi has repeatedly described her like a heavenly daughter, focusing on depicting her beauty in poetry, among the three wives, Su Shi wrote the most poems for Wang Chaoyun.
Su Shi's third wife, Wang Chaoyun, was bought by Su Shi's wife Wang Yanzhi from a song and dance class in Hangzhou and adopted as a maid. At that time, Chaoyun was only 12 years old, and when he grew up, he was adopted by Su Shi as a concubine, 26 years younger than Su Shi. Chaoyun gave birth to a son at the age of 22. Dongpo was ecstatic, but when the child was 11 months old, he died of illness. When Su Shi was at his most sleepy, the concubines around him left one after another, but Wang Chaoyun always accompanied him. Chaoyun is Su Shi's confidante, and she knows best that "a bachelor's belly is out of place". When Wang Chaoyun died, Su Dongpo personally wrote an epitaph and wrote a poem to commemorate her:
"Mourning Chaoyun"
Miao is not beautiful, and does not make Tong Wu and I Xuan.
Resident Jing hates no Senju medicine, and the only thing that is given is Hinayana Zen.
Sadly, the thought of paying off the previous debt, the finger finger three lives cut off the back edge.
Returning to the bamboo roots is far and near, and the night lights are in the pagoda.
Wang Chaoyun was "loyal" to Su Shi to the death. Before Su Shi was exiled to Huizhou, Wang Yanzhi had died. At that time, Lingnan was a place of brute wind and rain and poisonous fog miasma in people's minds. Su Shi dismissed the concubines in the family, but Chaoyun refused to leave and insisted on following Su Shi to Huizhou, where he lived and died.
Chaoyun once gave birth to a son for Su Shi in Huangzhou, and when he was full moon, Su Shi wrote a poem for him that is still often mentioned by the world: "Everyone adopts a son and hopes to be smart, and I am mistaken for a lifetime." May the child be foolish and reckless, and have no calamities and no difficulties to the secretary of state. It can be seen that his love for his son, unfortunately, he died later, and both husband and wife were grief-stricken, coupled with Su Shi's repeated deprecation, Su Shi and Chaoyun, in this way, they relied on each other to survive the miserable rain and terrifying waves in their lives again and again.
In 1096, Chaoyun died of a plague at the age of 34. Su Shi buried him in the pine forest of the Qichan Temple on the shore of Huizhou's West Lake, and wrote the poem "Sadness and a thought to pay off the previous debt, and the finger of the three lives to break the back edge", the three life covenant, the afterlife has no basis, and the mourning is deep and pervasive.
Since then, Su Shi has been alone until he is old.
Mr. Dongpo's life has been bumpy, even unfortunate, but he can become a great literary hero who has flowed through the ages, full of the free and indifferent temperament of "a storm and a peaceful life", and is closely related to the company of the three Chunlan confidants around him.
