The Biography of Su Dongpo - Thoughts after Reading I have heard a little about Su Dongpo, a famous scholar from ancient times to the present, since elementary school. At first, when I casually flipped through "Song Ci", I was temporarily interested in a few of his poems. , and then I can’t remember which weekly I read, the alluring word Dongpo Pork appeared again, which immediately made me label his image in my mind as “gluttonous”. I gradually came into contact with him when I entered junior high school. Of the poems and songs I wrote, I can only clearly remember the title of the water-melody song, "When will the bright moon come? I ask the blue sky with my wine, I don't know the palace in the sky, what year it is today." The catchy words are still lingering to this day. In my heart, when the teacher recommended "The Biography of Su Dongpo" in high school, I didn't take it to heart. It wasn't until this year's winter vacation that I was really attracted by this book. In my opinion, anyone who has the ability to write a biography without his own consent is generally a person with advanced literary literacy. Of course, if you want to obtain Su Dongpo's consent before writing a biography, I'm afraid you have to travel back to the Song Dynasty first. . Exactly what I thought, this unremarkable "The Biography of Su Dongpo" was actually written by Mr. Lin Yutang, a great writer. As a linguist who has made great achievements in Chinese and English, Mr. Lin Yutang must have been able to write this "Biography of Su Dongpo" easily. This work by Mr. Lin Yutang has been translated by Zhang Zhenyu. As far as I am concerned, I feel that the true thoughts of the original work have not been lost, so it is refreshing to read it. This biography totals more than 300 pages and is divided into four volumes: childhood and youth; maturity; maturity; and years of exile. It is narrated in chronological order according to Su Dongpo's life experience, which makes the whole book very clear and fully arouses the readers' interest. Preface: In the preface, Mr. Lin Yutang repeatedly emphasized his desire to write "The Biography of Su Dongpo", stating that he had always wanted to write a biography of Su Dongpo, but was forced by the current situation to complete it until today. This clearly shows that Mr. Lin Yutang had a unique feeling for the character Su Dongpo, and he had to write a biography to express his feelings. "When my family went to the United States in 1936, in addition to a number of carefully selected and well-printed basic Chinese reference books, I also brought with me some rare ancient books about Su Dongpo and his works." It can be seen that Mr. Lin Yutang's biography of Su Dongpo is Written on the basis of ancient books and other historical materials, he put a lot of thought into this biography. "Su Dongpo was an optimist with an unchangeable temperament, a moralist with compassion for others, a good friend of the common people, a prose writer, a new-school painter, a great calligrapher, an experimenter in brewing wine, and an engineer?" Mr. Lin Yutang In the following preface, the teacher continued to give simple and true interpretations of the image of Su Dongpo quoted in the previous part, which made Su Dongpo, a great poet, leave an impression in our hearts. Volume One: The title of Volume One is Childhood and Youth, which obviously describes Su Dongpo’s childhood and youth. In the first chapter of Volume 1, Mr. Lin Yutang begins by telling the life of Su Dongpo. Through various examples and angles, he shows the readers a Su Dongpo who was not afraid of violence and hated evil. Su Dongpo, a Su Dongpo who excelled in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and a Su Dongpo who pursued the medicine of immortality. Through these vivid Su Dongpo, Mr. Lin Yutang laid the foundation for the subsequent narrative. The last few chapters of Volume 1 roughly narrate that Su Xun, one of the three Sus, although famous for his talents, failed to succeed in many trials and gradually sank into middle age. At the same time, Su Shi and Su Che The two brothers are like brand-new stars, rising slowly in the afterglow of their father's setting sun. Volume 2: If you have to impose a center on Volume 2, then it must be "Wang Anshi's Reform". Although it is called "The Biography of Su Dongpo", in this biography in which Su Dongpo is the protagonist, I accidentally learned about a little-known Wang Anshi. I still remember that "one year old is eliminated with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu." Although I have heard the general story of Wang Anshi's reform in junior high school, I also know that Wang Anshi worked hard for a long time and finally failed. I don't know much about it, but through "The Biography of Su Dongpo", I have a certain understanding of Wang Anshi. "The destiny of heaven is not enough to be feared, the advice of the people is not enough to follow, and the methods of the ancestors are not enough." These three shortcomings are the hallmarks of Su Dongpo's evaluation of Wang Anshi. Su Xun's famous "Discrimination of Adultery" was used to satirize Wang Anshi. Through these two From this evaluation, we can one-sidedly conclude that Wang Anshi is a stubborn person. Of course, this evaluation cannot prove anything, but Wang Anshi was in the court

Some of his actions when he became a high official once again deepened people's impression of him: he let his subordinates go, secretly punishing incompetent, insidious subordinates such as Lu Huiqing, Deng Wan, etc. were promoted to important positions and used various excuses to kick out the backbone of the opposition from the center of power. There were even several of the opposition who were his close friends. Even his friends began to oppose This shows how criticized Wang Anshi's behavior in dealing with others was. Wang Anshi said this for now. Generally speaking, he is a stubborn poet. He tried to use his ideal changes to change the decadent situation of the Song Dynasty, but he did not realize that he had embarked on a wrong path.
When Wang Anshi, a stubborn reformer, and Su Shi, an upright and daring opposition person, stood in different camps, the contradiction between the two people immediately emerged, just like a meteorite hitting the earth. Various sparks were sparked, but considering that Wang Anshi was the most powerful person in the world at that time, Su Shi was expelled from the capital as expected. It was by chance that when Su Shi felt unable to serve his country, he traveled around. In the words of the book, "At this time, the anger and harshness were gone, leaving only a peaceful and accommodating state of mind." At this time, he reached the pinnacle of his personal poetry and left behind a series of well-known masterpieces. To miss his younger brother, he wrote the song "Shui Tiao": When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine. I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky? When he was integrated with nature, he wrote such words as "Li Yin Pavilion": The world is full of worries, but Mr. Qiao is free every day. Last night the cool breeze drifted to the north, and in the morning the refreshing breeze floated on the west mountain. In Wangyun Pavilion, he wrote: The clouds and clear mornings and evenings are renewed several times, and I have given my body to the void. I had no intention of getting back together, but the white clouds still look like people looking at the clouds. This piece of Su Shi's pinnacle work seems to take us to relive the sorrow and anger in Su Shi's heart when he was demoted, the longing for his brothers, and the love for nature? Only at this time, Su Shi can He is the real Su Shi. But unfortunately, Su Dongpo really experienced a rough life in the second half of his life.

He called many true-hearted neighbors and friends, and even made poems such as Chibi Fu and "Xu" while playing. Jiang Yue and other pinnacle works. Of course, it is hard to believe that Su Dongpo actually had a very strong interest in immortality, and his research on Tao was very in-depth. After living a peaceful and leisurely life for a few more years, Su Dongpo unexpectedly received the favor of the Empress Dowager, which could be regarded as the second spring of his life. He was promoted rapidly within a few years and soon became an important official. Of course, the true-tempered Su Dongpo was always ostracized in the court, and Wang Anshi's remnants tried every means to overthrow Su Dongpo. He once outspokenly remonstrated and argued for his innocence, but it seems that his patience was also lost. The remnants of the party were gradually polished off after being squeezed out one after another, and finally proposed to leave the capital, the center of power. After leaving the court, Su Dongpo seemed to have regained a sense of freedom, studying Chinese painting, repairing projects, and providing food relief for disasters? Unfortunately, the shackles of fate never let go of Su Dongpo. After the death of the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Su who supported him, His fate took a turn for the worse. He was demoted several times, exiled to a desolate area, and lived a wandering life. The glory he had brought throughout his life was washed away, and he passed away silently. Su Dongpo, such a great writer, such a straightforward person in the court, and such a person with a wide range of interests, has left an indelible mark on the stage of Chinese history.
