In the second year of Feng, Su Dongpo degraded Huangzhou, and the former temple corridor was reduced to the body of wearing sin.
His political career was at a low ebb, but it reached its poetic peak.
A large number of famous works such as "Dinghuiyuan Begonia", "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu", and "Chibi Fu" before and after have stood out at this time.
In the nineteenth year of Daoguang, Gong Zizhen resigned from the government and left Beijing, and he was discouraged by the officialdom, and he opened his poetry rings, "a hundred years of heart affairs returned to plainness", "can not help but say that the night springs".
The poetry was stirring, and he wrote 315 seven poems in a row on the way back to his hometown, which made him the largest and most famous poetry group in Chinese history, "Self-Hai Miscellaneous Poems".
Su Dongpo, the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty;
Gong Zizhen, the last high song in the history of classical poetry.
They are the first echelon of poetry, and each of us has thought of their poems and phrases.
When you are frustrated—
We read Gong Zizhen's "Falling red is not a merciless thing, and it is more protective of flowers when turned into spring mud." ”
Also read Su Dongpo's "Don't listen to the sound of the leaves beating through the forest, why not groan and walk." ”
When you're happy—"
We read Su Dongpo's "And will try new tea with new fire, poetry and wine to take advantage of the years." ”
Also read Gong Zizhen's "Dog SlaughterIng Gong Name, Carved Tornado, Is It a Peaceful Business." ”
Qian Mu once said:
"The greatness of Su Dongpo's poetry is because he has never been politically proud in his life. His whole life was full of ups and downs, and the twists and turns are all seen in the poem. ”
The same is true of Gong Zizhen.
The poet pours out his own experiences, feelings, thoughts, joys and sorrows in the poems, without a trace of concealment and damage.
Therefore, if you want to understand poets and their times, using poetry as a clue to synthesize history is the most appropriate way to get started.
