There was a poet in the Song Dynasty named Su Shunqin, not very famous, but it was really interesting.
Before getting to know him, let's take a look at a poem he wrote:
Summer drink of rhyme and victory
The nine summers are bitter and fierce, and the climate is evil. When there is a great drought, it is very cool. Fight for the resurrection of Yi, shoot this red sunset. If you want to open the sky, get out of the silhouette. There is nowhere to escape from the wild walk, and I am afraid that my liver and brain will dry up. It is better to pour it with wine, and it can be free of scorching. Sit in the monk's house and drink in an instant. Jia gua sentence green skin, ripe plum suction film. Still unpleasant, more chewed with ice and snow. Crack your ears and sing, and explain your face and be kind. There is no home in the path, and everything is borrowed. I don't know the rest of the void, the outside is cold. True Qi sneaked away, and suddenly fired in the middle of the night. Vomiting does not pause, bursting tendons to walk two feet. At first, it was like a huge rope, and suddenly it was like an autumn worm leaping. The body is not supported, and the bed is chiseled. Junyan has a good summer drink, but he has a lot of fun. When it is difficult to survive, only a few buckets of medicine are drunk. Be happy with everything, and be careful not to do anything.
Some are long, but the meaning is simple and clear.
It is very hot in the summer: "I would like to rip the sky open, my body can free up the sky, there is nowhere to escape, but I dare not sit, for fear that the brain pulp will dry up, so I have to pour wine." ”
Eat iced fruit with your good friend Wang Shengzhi, then it's not enough, then eat ice, and then... In the middle of the night, his stomach was stirred: "True Qi sneaks away, and suddenly fires in the middle of the night." Vomiting does not pause, bursting tendons to walk two feet. ”
How does it feel to be upset?
"At first, it was like a huge rope, and suddenly it was like an autumn worm leaping." The body is not supported, and the bed is chiseled. It was as if there was a huge rope wrapped around it, and it was like there were a lot of earthworms jumping, and there was no strength in the body.
What do you think? Is it very vivid and empathetic.
If you ask the history of Chinese poetry in Huanghuang, is there a second person who can write a poem that makes a stomach upset, and can also write so dynamic, lively and interesting?
No.
From his poems, he wants to meet his people, this is Su Shunqin. The History of Song says that he wrote poetry: "His body is bold, often amazing." And his appearance is also "strange and magnificent", in today's words Su Shunqin is a "strange person".
Use the fierce man to define Ouyang Xiu's words: the fierce man Ouyang Xiu, then simply define Su Shunqin that is a strange person, let's see what strange things he has?
The Wonder of Circumstances: Three Hearts in a Row
Su Shunqin is very talented, especially poetic talent, and posterity will call him and Mei Shengyu (Ouyang Xiu's closest friend, if you want to know him you can read this article: Ouyang Xiu: I have a good brother) and call him the peak figure of Song poetry. But in addition to the students of the Chinese Department, how many people know Mei Su (Mei Changsu is more well-known)?
Under the strong brilliance of the Song Dynasty, the other genres of the Song Dynasty are floating clouds
That's not all there is to it, and...
Speaking of "Three Sus", we must have "Su Shi Su Rui Su Xun (in order of fame)" in our minds, but do you know that there are other "Tongshan Three Sus" in the Chinese literary world? One of them, Su, is our protagonist Su Shunqin.
Su Shunqin was a third-generation official, his grandfather Su Yijian (the name "YiJian" is taken from the "I Ching", "Yi Jian and the reason for the world", (can't help but have to be a bit)) was a prime minister, he had an older brother named Su Shunyuan, who was also a great poet, so his family was also famous for "Three Sus". Coincidentally, his family was also from Sichuan, and the People of Tongshan, Sichuan (although Su Shunqin was born in Tokyo and grew up in Tokyo) were called "Tongshan Sansu" at the time.
Hearts continue...
Fan Zhongyan's "Record of Yueyang Lou" is well known to everyone, and there are so-called four gems about this building: "The building built by Teng Zijing, the record written by Fan Zhongyan, the calligraphy of Su Shunqin, and the seal carving of Shao Zhen." But now, in addition to Fan Zhongyan's notes, and Teng Zijing, who brushed up on the sense of existence in Fan Zhongyan's article, who knows Su Shunqin and Shao Zhen?
You must know that Su Shunqin's calligraphy has been greatly praised by Ouyang Xiu, who has a very high vision. But unfortunately, su Shunqin's contemporaries also had a more well-known calligrapher, Cai Xiang Cai Junmo. Under the brilliance of Cai Xiang's 1,000-watt incandescent lamp, the 800-watt Su Shunqin instantly dimmed...
You can only comfort poor Su Shunqin with the wrong time. But there are more heart-wrenching...
Su Shunqin had a father-in-law, Du Yan, who was the ruler of the reformists at that time, and was the main target of the conservatives' firepower at that time. "The city gate caught fire and hit the pond fish", this unfortunate pond fish is Su Shunqin.
Because he once used the money from the sale of waste products (scrap official documents) to invite his colleagues to eat and drink (other predecessors also did this), Su Shunqin was seriously impeached, and then lost his official position, and at the age of thirty years old, he was stripped of his post and lived in Suzhou as a commoner.
Later, under the mediation of many friends, Su Shunqin was appointed as the governor of Huzhou. The appointment was just issued, Su Shunqin died of illness in Suzhou before he took office...
It is such a heart-wrenching three-in-one life.
The wonder of personality: "The Book of Han" is wine, and the more you drink, the more you have it
Su Shunqin's character zimei, this word was his own name, because he loved Du Fu the most, so he gave himself this word.
Although he is also a Zimei, Su Shunqin does not have the desolation and sadness of Du Zimei, but like Li Bai, his personality is bold, and his poetry often has words of surprise, and he also loves the contents of the cup just as much.
It is said that once at his father-in-law's house, I heard him chanting loudly in the study, and the mood was very high.
The father-in-law ran in curiously to take a look, and found that this person was holding a wine jug in one hand and the Book of Han in the other, reciting a sip of wine and drinking heavily. The father-in-law was secretly amazed in his heart, and on the other hand, he felt that this son-in-law was indeed dashing and open-minded.
This incident was later passed on, and the wine in the Book of Han became the most praised anecdote in Su Shunqin's life.
As mentioned earlier, he also wrote well in calligraphy, but the best time to write is after drinking. In the History of the Song Dynasty, it is specifically recorded that he was "good at cursive writing, and every time he drank and wrote, he competed to be passed on by people." ”
In the Tang Dynasty, there was Zhang Xu's drunken wild grass, and in the Song Dynasty, There was Su Zimei's drunken writing.
Because he was born in the family of the third generation of officials, Su Shunqin retained the greatest degree of pure heart throughout his life.
When he was 21 years old, he still had no meritorious name, because a palace view was on fire, the emperor ordered it to be rebuilt, Su Shunqin felt that the labor was hurting the people, so he ran to the Dengwen Drum Temple to give the emperor a favor, directly rebuking the emperor: "Appoint the wrong person, the government decree is too much, and the reward and punishment are also summoned." Heaven sent down a calamity, to enlighten His Majesty... May His Majesty Gomer introspect and pursue it, to abolish the work of reconstruction, to recount the law of past lives, and to be fortunate in the world. ”
To put it bluntly, the emperor you are talking about something else, it must be that you are doing something wrong, the old genius descended the disaster, you should reflect and think about how to do it!
He was very bold, and he also dared to say that in terms of personality, he and his good friend Ouyang Xiu were not far behind. That's why they are suspected of being impeached. Although Ouyang Xiu was also degraded twice, his career ended well, but it was a pity that Su Shunqin died young.
It can be seen that physical health is very important, as long as you live long enough, life always has the opportunity to turn over... (Chicken soup up)
Love legend: Get a wife like this, the husband wants it
Su Shunqin's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the high-ranking official Du Yan, and there is a good story about their love story.
When Su Shunqin was a child, his father brought him to visit Du Yan, when Du Yan's daughter was playing with a group of her little girlfriends, Su Shunqin saw her, broke free of his father's hand, picked a pink rose in the courtyard (maybe the moon flower, the time is too long to verify) ran to her and handed it to her, and then said: "This sister, I like it." ”
This love at first sight story has a happy ending, and the two children have grown up to be right and tied together, and have lived happily ever since.
What is even more rare is that his wife has always understood and supported Su Shunqin. After Su Shunqin was stripped of his post and moved to Suzhou for his livelihood, a friend wrote to ask him why he did not stay in the capital, after all, his brothers and relatives were all in Beijing, Su Shunqin replied: "Staying in the capital has a lot of socializing, it is difficult to continue... There are gains in life, there are adaptations outside, inherent happiness, why should executives Houlu ..."
In the darkest days of his life in Suzhou, his wife has always been with him, which is a big lady who grew up in the family of high-ranking official Houlu.
After Su Shunqin's death, his wife knew that his poems were the most important part of his life, so she collected them wholeheartedly and brought them back to the capital, printed and published them with the help of Su Shunqin's friends, and spread them to the world.
In this sense, she is not only a wife but also a confidant.
All of the above, although there are many hearts and ups and downs, but think about how lucky Su Shunqin's life is.
He was born in an era when the stars were so bright, and he was surrounded by such a bullish and cajoling figure, whether he was talking about poetry, writing, writing and painting, or what an opportunity for the officials and the people, he could find friends who were interesting and spiritually compatible, accompanied by close friends, accompanied by affectionate wives, and how enviable it was to be willful, dashing, and talented.
