The Writing Background of Su Shi's Die Lian Hua

butterfly flowers

flowers fade, red apricots are small. When swallows fly, green water people go around. On the branches

, there is little blowing of willow cotton, and there are plenty of fragrant grass in the sea!

the swing in the wall is outside the wall. A layman in the wall, a beautiful woman in the wall laughs. Laughter

fades into silence, and affection is always heartless.

This word was written by Su Shi when he was in Huizhou. Writing about the scenery of late spring and the feelings of hurting spring is different from the general words of hurting spring. There are lofty words in pity and grace, which downplays the feelings of sadness with a detached attitude and jumps out of the realm of just hurting spring. The first sentence, "The flowers fade red and the green apricots are small", seems to hurt all the spring flowers, but in fact it points out a new life from the decline: although the flowers will be exhausted, the fruits will be ripe. The opposition between life and decline was unified under the brilliant idea of the poet, which made people realize their vitality after being infected with a little sadness. Two or three periods indicate the time and place, and they are refined and unconventional. "Swallows fly" is dynamic, and the poet added a word "time" after it, that is, the "dynamic" was fixed and turned into static; "Green water family" is static, but the poet makes it dynamic with the word "around", turning static into dynamic. The sentence "on the branch" falls first and then rises. With the word "You", "Liu Mian blows less", it is pointed out that the flocks fly down, not only once, but also the feeling of hurting spring overflows on the paper, with endless aftertaste, which is extremely graceful and beautiful. Therefore, Wang Shizhen, a Qing dynasty, commented: "I am afraid that the fate of wasteland will be beautiful, and I may not be able to pass." However, Dongpo's lofty point is that he is not limited to graceful and restrained, and then he developed a far-reaching artistic conception with "there are plenty of fragrant grass in the end of the world". Suddenly, I swept away the depression of my previous words, so that the meaning of the words was not limited to hurting the spring, but was replaced by a free and easy embrace. It hurts the feelings of spring so much, and it is the words such as "flower room".

Su Shi (136-111) was born in Meishan, Northern Song Dynasty (now Meishan, Sichuan). Su Xun, his father, was not fond of learning. Later, although he studied hard, he tried again and again, so he decided not to take the road of imperial examination, but to study the chaos in ancient and modern times and carefully cultivate Su Shi's brothers. Mother Cheng was born in a rich family in Meishan and personally taught Su Shi's brothers to read. Su Shi was familiar with the history of Confucian classics since he was a child, and he was full of literary thoughts. He was ambitious and talked about ancient and modern times, and he became a scholar at the age of 22.

Su Shi lived through four dynasties: Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong and Zhezong. Renzong Dynasty was the period when his political ideas were formed.

in the third year of Song Yingzong Zhiping (166), Su Xun died in the capital, and the Su Shi brothers helped his father to return to Shu. At the beginning of the second year of Xining (169), Su Shi returned to the DPRK after the mourning period expired, and Song Shenzong, who was newly succeeded to the throne, had adopted Wang Anshi's idea of political reform and started political reform. Su Shi first wrote "On the Tribute of the School", opposing Wang Anshi's change to the imperial examination, which was received and encouraged by Shenzong. Shenzong said to him, "Although I made a mistake, I meant Chen Keye." Then he wrote "The Book of Emperor Gods", which made a comprehensive criticism of the new law, and said: "Today's politics, if used sparingly, will be defeated, and if it is practiced, chaos will follow" (The Book of Emperor again). This caused the reformers' dissatisfaction with him and slandered Su Shi for selling smuggled salt when he helped his father to return to Sichuan. Su Shi did not say a word in self-defense, but only asked to leave the court and become a local official. Later, he successively served as the judge of Hangzhou (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province) and the judge of Mizhou (now Zhucheng, Shandong Province), Xuzhou (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province) and Huzhou (now Xing Wu, Zhejiang Province). Su Shi built water conservancy projects in various places to help the victims, and did a lot of good things for the people, which was deeply loved by the people. He took different attitudes towards the new law, or "facilitating the people because of the law", that is, implementing the new law is beneficial to the people; Or publicly refused to implement it (for example, during the period of knowing Mizhou, he refused to implement the hand-held law being implemented); More often, it is "making excuses to satirize". In Huzhou Xie Shangbiao, he said that the gods "know that their stupidity is not timely, and it is difficult to catch up with new progress; Look at his old age and make trouble, or he can raise Wang. Words such as "new entry" and "making trouble" stung people who started out by speculating in the new law. They rallied to impeach Su Shi, and as a result, Su Shi was arrested and imprisoned. Although he was rescued by many parties, he was still demoted to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) as the deputy ambassador of Yong ying.

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng (185), Shenzong died, and the young Zhezong succeeded to the throne. The Empress Dowager, who opposed the new law, listened to politics, took Sima Guang as the prime minister, and recalled the officials who were expelled from the DPRK for opposing the new law. Su Shi was first called to Dengzhou (now East Penglai), and was called back to the DPRK on the fifth day of his official career.

In the imperial court, Su Shi continued to oppose the new party, while at the same time opposing Sima Guang's abolition of the new law, advocating the use of his strengths, and was regarded as "another Wang Anshi" by the old party. In the attack of the old and new parties, Su Shi was uneasy about the DPRK, and kept asking for foreign posts. He successively went to Hangzhou, Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui Province), Yangzhou (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province) and Dingzhou (now Dingxian County, Hebei Province), and rushed between the imperial court and various places. "Tired of contacts, the sun and the moon died on the road" ("Dingzhou Xie Ren Biao") is a vivid portrayal of his official life in Yuan You.

In the eighth year of Yuan You (193), the Empress Dowager died, and the philosopher was in charge of politics. He revived the new party and banished the Yuan You Party. In the year of Shao Shengyuan (194), Su Shi was accused of ridiculing the former dynasty (Shenzong Dynasty) and was exiled to Yingzhou (now Yingde, Guangdong Province), but before he was demoted, he was exiled to Huizhou (now Huiyang, Guangdong Province). In the fourth year of Shaosheng (197), the imperial court generally increased the punishment for Yuan You Party members, and Su Shi suffered another misfortune. He went to Danzhou (111) until Huizong succeeded to the throne, only to meet Xie Bei and died in Changzhou (now Changzhou, Jiangsu Province) in the year of Jian Zhong Jing Guoyuan, at the age of 65.

In the seventh year of Xining, when Su Shi was in Hangzhou, she took a maid named Chaoyun, who was twelve years old, and later became a concubine. She served Su Shi for twenty-three years, and followed him from place to place until Huizhou. Chaoyun is beautiful and virtuous. She is good at singing and dancing. She has accompanied Su Shi through numerous difficulties and suffered numerous blows together. She is Su Shi's closest relative and beloved companion in trouble. In Huizhou, one day, Su Shi and Chaoyun sat idle. "When the young girl first arrived, the wood was rustling, and it was sad for autumn." So, please sing the word "recent love" to the clouds. When Su Shi asked the reason, he said, "What a slave can't sing is that there are few willows blowing on the branches, and there are plenty of fragrant grass in the end of the world." After talking, I couldn't help but shed tears and couldn't make a sound. Since then, I have been disappointed all day long and soon died of illness. Really, it hurts the spring song, heartbroken and affectionate. Since then, Su Shi has been unhappy, and has never heard this word sung again.
