Jian Dongmei (Jiangxi)
Lin Yutang's "The Biography of Su Dongpo", Lin Yutang used his pen to tell this indispensable and rare immortal poet in the world in beautiful language, and thus launched the aesthetic thinking.
In Meishan Town, Meizhou, forty miles north of the Leshan Giant Buddha, there is an outstanding literary family, which is the Su family, that is, the well-known "Three Sus", and the father and son occupy three places in the Tang and Song dynasties. Su Dongpo is the eldest son of the Su family, when it comes to Su Dongpo, it will always cause people's infinite reverie in China, not to mention that his poems are recited by the world at that time or for thousands of years, the food he brewed is named after him, he is inseparable from the poetry of Hangzhou West Lake, and he is related to various legends and stories of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism......
Shuyun: Su Dongpo's special position in Chinese history, his outstanding beauty in poetry, literature and painting, his character and morality constitute the backbone of his fame, and his unswerving political advocacy of his principles, all of which make his reputation stand tall and unshakable.
I personally believe that Su Dongpo is not only a lyricist and writer, but also a politician, following the ups and downs of his political career, it can be said that Su's life is politically frustrated, but surprisingly, his policy articles on governing the country are still repeatedly quoted today. Fifteen years after Su Dongpo's death, he was still posthumously given the title of Wenzhong Gong by those in power, and was given the rank of Taishi. In the Song Dynasty, there were only a few people who enjoyed this kind of title in the political arena of famous and virtuous ministers, such as Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi, which was an outlier in the ancient Chinese political arena. As a politician and Su Dongpo's political opponent Wang Anshi is different from Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi's reform has been praised and criticized in history, but his ideas have been implemented, and although Su Dongpo has also made some achievements in the local area, I personally think that Su Dongpo is "a vain Lingyun talent, and a robe has not been opened", it cannot be said that it is not a deep regret, so that although Su Dongpo became famous as a young man, he has been on the way to be degraded. Dongpo "Self-Praise" poem: The eyes are like a newborn calf, the body is like a boat that is not tied, try to ask about the achievements of life, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou.
Over the years, with Su Dongpo's bold personality, he has opposed Wang Anshi's "new law" everywhere in words and deeds, poetry and deeds. In 1080, due to the Wutai poetry case, Huangzhou was demoted, in 1094, Huizhou was demoted, and in 1097, Danzhou was demoted. Degraded Huangzhou, Su Dongpo wrote "Chibi Fu", "Later Chibi Fu", "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia". In Huangzhou, Su led his family to reclaim a sloping land in the east of the city, farming to help make a living, in addition to the above, but also made "Cold Food Post", known as the third line of books after "Lanting Preface" and "Sacrifice Nephew Manuscript". In Huangzhou, Su Zizhan completed the transformation of Dongpo laymen. Although Su Dongpo was only three years in Huizhou, but because of the transformation of Fenghu, he brought abundant harvest to the local residents, and was loved by the people, and wrote more than 100 poems in these three years, and he was pleased with "not giving up his long life as a Lingnan person", and because of "reporting that Mr. Spring Sleep is beautiful, and the Taoist beats the five watch bells" to the ears of political opponents, and once again degraded to Danzhou, Hainan.
Despite the ups and downs of the career, Su Dongpo derogated Danzhou's description: no meat, no medicine, no room, no friends, no charcoal in winter, no cold spring in summer", but a swan song through the ages "Mango shoes do not step on Vanity Fair, a leaf light boat is slim" was born. This kind of optimistic and open-minded self-talk is the source of the philosophy of happiness. I think that it is also because of this kind of born attitude towards life, coupled with Su Dongpo's insistence on his political views, that he is not tolerated by the new and old political parties, and he is politically depressed and frequently degraded, which has to be said to be a pity.
In fact, I am more fond of Sue's emotional life than Sue's political career.
Su Dongpo's wife was married at the age of eighteen, and Miss Wang Fu, who was fifteen years old at the time. Shuyun: All marriages, no matter how they are arranged, are gambling and adventures on the vast sea. And Su Dongpo is the clear winner. Mrs. Su seems to be far better than her husband in terms of pragmatism and intelligence, Su Dongpo treats everyone as a good person, while Mrs. Su has the wisdom of knowing people. When Su was talking to the guests, Mrs. Su always listened quietly behind the screen, and Mrs. Su was always able to evaluate the visitors objectively. The story of "listening behind the screen" proves that Mrs. Su does have a discerning eye, and among the people who later framed Su Dongpo, there were several two-faced characters that Mrs. Su repeatedly alerted to. However, the good things in the world are not strong, and the colored clouds are easy to disperse and the glass is brittle. Su Dongpo's wife died of illness at the age of 26, leaving behind a son who was six years old. After the death of his wife, Su's father died of illness in April of the following year, which was undoubtedly worse for Su Dongpo, who was full of ambition, Su Dongpo planted his wife's favorite pine tree next to his wife's grave with his own hands, so that ten years later, he remembered that his wife still expected to break his intestines every year, and wrote "Jiangchengzi" ten years of death and two unforgettable. Life is like this, and it is the beginning of detachment.
After the expiration of the mourning period, Su Dongpo continued to marry his wife's cousin. This Wang Yanzhi, who has admired his cousin-in-law since he was a child, is not as capable as his wife, but he has a soft temperament and is obedient when he encounters problems. Yuan Zhen has a poem: Poor couples mourn everything. In the most difficult days of Su Dongpo's "Wutai Poetry Case" and the hard years after being demoted to Huangzhou, Wang Runzhi has always been a good wife and mother, and accompanied Su Dongpo for 26 years and died in Beijing.
Wang Fu lined Su Dongpo's young talent, Wang Yanzhi accompanied Su Dongpo through the ups and downs of middle age, when Su Dongpo, who entered old age, met Wang Chaoyun, the real bosom friend came. Su Dongpo behaved very cherished, Chaoyun was met by Su Dongpo when he was making a general judgment in Hangzhou, I would like to believe, "If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, heavy makeup is always appropriate", it was written for Chaoyun. When Su was degraded, he went to Huizhou, and the fifty-seven-year-old Su Dongpo once sighed that although there was no cherry Fan Sukou and a small waist in the willows, he was about to swear to the death with Chaoyun, and he was better than Bai Juyi.
In Huizhou Su Dongpo made "Butterfly Love Flowers", when Chaoyun just sang "Flowers fade and red green apricots are small", choked up, tears filled his clothes, Su Dongpo asked why, Chaoyun replied: The slave can not sing is "the willow cotton on the branch blows less, and there is no grass at the end of the world", Su Chuan laughed: I am sad in autumn, and you are sad in spring", a question and an answer, enjoy the weather in the world.
The most beautiful encounter in the world is to understand you. Where there is no grass in the sky, the world thinks it is a kind of open-mindedness, free and easy, but the allusion of the herb comes from Qu Yuan's "Lisao", "vanilla beauty, is a kind of sign, is the ideal and belief persistently and cannot, in order to contrast their perseverance and perseverance in the pursuit, although nine deaths do not return, inseparable and painful, the surface is open, but between the lines, there is grief, only Chaoyun can read, Chaoyun is his bosom friend, Chaoyun died after Su Dongpo did not listen to this word for life, the two of them are the clearest existence in the world.
Su Dongpo's life, from a certain point of view, has experienced hardships and been persecuted repeatedly, but Su Dongpo has always had a virtuous help in his career like Wang Fu, a good wife and mother like Wang Yanzhi, and then an emotional bosom friend like Wang Chaoyun, it can be said that Su Shi has all that men in China can dream of in love and marriage throughout the ages, "I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." "Wang Fu is hope, Wang Yanzhi is warm, Wang Chaoyun is love, and Su Shi will always live in his world in April, such a life of graceful tension and beauty symbiosis.
