As a literary scholar, Su Shi left more than 2700 poems and 362 lyrics in his lifetime, including many famous sentences, some of which we are familiar with, and under the brewing of time, they have been passed down through the ages.
Among them, "this peace of mind is my hometown" is a sentence that Xiaobian likes very much, and has always been a word that soothes the hearts of many people with its open-minded and indifferent mentality.
"This peace of mind is my hometown" comes from Su Shi's poem "Dingfeng Bo • South China Sea Return to Wang Dingguo Waiter Yu Niang", which is a poem written by Su Shi to his friend Wang Dingguo's concubine Yu Niang.
Wang Gong, also spelled Dingguo, was a close friend of Su Shi. When Su Shi was serving in Xuzhou, Wang Dingguo went to visit Su Shi, and the two of them swam in Surabaya, climbed the Mountain, played the flute and drank, and returned home by moon. It can be seen that the friendship is good.
In August of the second year (1079) of Emperor Yuanfeng of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi was arrested for the "Wutai Poetry Case". Many of Su Shi's close friends were implicated, and Wang Dingguo was relegated to Pennsylvania (present-day Binyang, Guangxi), where he was the most relegated and punished the most of the 20 perpetrators of the Wutai Poetry Case.
Yu Niang, that is, Rou Nu. There are many singers in the Central Plains of Wang Ding's country, one of whom is renamed Yuwen and the name of Rou Nu is the most Mei Qingmu Xiu and Hui Zhi Lan Xin.
After Wang Dingguo's decision, the singers scattered one after another, only Rou Nu was willing to accompany Wang Dingguo to Pennsylvania, in ancient times, Lingnan was a barbaric land, and everyone avoided it.
But Rou Nu resolutely accompanied Wang Dingguo and embarked on the road to Pennsylvania.
From December 1079 to October 1083, Wang Dingguo lived in Pennsylvania with Rou Nu for more than three years. The two spent their time in Lingnan.
Later, Wang Gong was ordered to return to the north and feast and drink with Su Shi. Wang Gong asked Rou Nu to toast Su Shi. Su Shi asked her about the customs and customs of Lingnan, "If Lingnan should be bad", life in Lingnan should not be so good, right?
To Su Shi's surprise, Rou Nu smiled lightly and said: This peace of mind is my hometown. Where the heart is settled, it is the hometown.
This answer greatly surprised Su Shi. I think That Rou Nu is just a weak woman, but she is so open-minded about the suffering of fate.
It is conceivable that at that time, Su Shi was amazed by Rou Nu's answer. Therefore, he wrote this poem "Fixing the Wind and Waves".
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."
He often envied the handsome man in this world who was as rich and handsome as a jade carving (referring to Wang Dingguo), and even the heavens took pity on him and gave him a feminine and intelligent beauty (referring to Yu Niang) to accompany him. Everyone praised the woman for her soft singing, soft smile, and when the wind rose, the song flew like a snowflake through the hot summer day to make the world cool.
You (referring to Yu Niang) have returned from a distant place but look younger, your smile is still the same, and your smile seems to still carry the fragrance of Lingnan plum blossoms; I ask you: "Shouldn't the terroir of Lingnan be very good?" But you replied frankly, "Where the heart is settled, it is my hometown." ”
In fact, Wang Dingguo was degraded because of Su Shi, and Su Shi had always felt guilty about him. When the friend finally returned, he saw the friend's partner, and he asked: Have you had a good life all these years?
Unexpectedly, she said: The place where the heart is stable is the hometown.
It is conceivable that this answer gave Su Shi's guilty heart much comfort.
This poem not only comforted Su Shi, but also comforted many people in the future.
When people are in adversity, when they are faced with the pain or suffering that fate has imposed on them, they can face it calmly and openly, which is a kind of wisdom of life.
It is the persistence of reading a thousand sails, not succumbing to fate, and cherishing the most precious emotions in the heart.
Thank you Rou Nu, the woman with the indifferent smile, who comforted Su Shi. Thank you Su Shi, he used verses to comfort the people who came after him.
