He is an optimist whose nature cannot be changed. He is a moralist who shows sympathy for others. He is a good friend of the people. He is an essayist, a new painter and a great calligrapher. He is an experimenter in brewing wine. He is an engineer, a hypocritical opponent, a yoga practitioner, a Buddhist, a scholar-bureaucrat, the emperor's secretary, an alcoholic, a kind judge and a politician.
Who is he? Have you guessed?
The above passage tells Lin Yutang.
In China, as long as you have studied for a few days, I'm afraid everyone understands. He is the famous Su Dongpo!
Chibi nostalgia
In the preface of Su Dongpo's most proud work and China's modern long biography, Lin Yutang put these "labels" on Su Dongpo.
When Mr. Wang's family went to the United States and lived abroad, they took away some carefully printed basic Chinese reference books and only brought some rare ancient books about Su Dongpo and Su Dongpo. The luggage took up a lot of space. It can be seen that Mr. Lin Yutang loves Su Dongpo, no, it should be said that he loves, loves and even worships!
"As creative as Su Dongpo, so upright, so unrestrained, so unstoppable and unattainable, putting his works on the bookshelf makes people feel rich in spiritual food."

Nice to meet you Su Dongpo is a special collection published by CITIC Publishing House. It is the seventh book in the series of the content brand "Knowledge in China", and it is also the most professional, comprehensive and "good-looking" book about Su Dongpo that I have ever seen. It is "beautiful" because it fully explains Su Dongpo and his times, including the study of Su Dongpo in later generations.
Blessed are the people in Dongpo, Su Like. This book presents Su Dongpo's life completely. It is an encyclopedia, a complete collection of Su Dongpo's works, to let readers know about this "undefined and interesting soul". Su Dongpo's life is the real slash life. He is a poet/writer/aesthete/calligrapher/painter/artist/literary theorist/historian/gourmet/winemaker/inventor.
There are really few such interesting souls in the universe! Even after nearly a thousand years, we still find Su Dongpo interesting.
Blessed are those who like history. The interesting interpretation of "Nice to meet you, Su Dongpo" not only vividly and comprehensively shows the historical background of the Northern Song Dynasty, but also introduces the customs, literature, history and philosophy, imperial examinations, official system and costumes of the Northern Song Dynasty in detail.
Blessed are those who like painting. "Nice to meet you! The high-definition calligraphy and paintings included in Su Dongpo's whole book include: Dead Trees and Strange Stones by Su Shi, Bamboo in Xiaoxiang Lake, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan, Snow Scroll on the Yangtze River by Wang Wei, Eighty-seven Immortals Volume by Wu Daozi, Fuchun by Huang, White Night Walk by Han Gan, herdsman, and Wei Mo Religion Map by Li.
Blessed are those who like calligraphy. "Nice to meet you! Su Dongpo's calligraphy works include: Su Shi's cold food post, Dong Ting's spring poems, Zhongshan Song's old poems, Qian Chibi's poems, Gui Qu Lai Xi's poems, Zuiweng Pavilion's notes, North Post's post, one-night stand post, Ren Lai's book post, and New Year pictures exhibition post.
Among the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, Su and his son occupied three seats. This special collection, of course, also includes the calligraphy works of Su Dongpo's father Su Xun and his younger brother Su Zhe, which are really hard to get.
Although it is the internet age, paper is still the best carrier to present ancient paintings and calligraphy. These works, which are truly called "Mo Bao", are now mostly collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei and the National Palace Museum in Beijing. Even on paper, it makes people feel "full of eyes."
"In Su Dongpo's view, calligraphy is the expression of the soul, and a writer expresses his thoughts and feelings through the lines of a brush." Seeing Mr. Zhu Yong, deputy research librarian of the Palace Museum and columnist of "Tencent Everyone Talk", introducing Su Dongpo's calligraphy works, he even gave birth to the impulse of "pen and ink as food".
Cold food discount is hidden in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
As a person who has also held a brush and practiced Liu Ti and inkstone for a few days, I know little about the history of calligraphy. I only know that Cold Food Post is the masterpiece of Su Dongpo's running script, and it is a sigh of life caused by his relegation to Huangzhou in the third year, which belongs to "sending prosperity". The feeling of desolation and affection, melancholy and loneliness in the poem is vividly on the paper. "The whole calligraphy is ups and downs, radiant and unrestrained, and there is no shortage of pens."
Cold food paste has a great influence in the history of calligraphy, and it is called "the third running script in the world" (note: the first and second running scripts are Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting and Yan Zhenqing's Sacrifice to a Nephew respectively), and it is also a leader in Su Shi's calligraphy works. In "Nice to meet you Su Dongpo", I saw the interpretation of "Cold Food Post":
Especially the word "paper" is extremely long and exaggerated. Especially like a long sigh. It seems that Su Dongpo has put the Wutai Poetry Case in Huangzhou for so many years, and the anguish, hardship and sadness accumulated in his heart are all integrated into this long vertical, which is manifested through this long vertical.
Cold food stickers are local, and the paper characters are long and vertical.
The special collection "Nice to meet you, Su Dongpo" is huge in content, but it is by no means chaotic. It is obviously made with heart. Its contents include but are not limited to Su Shi's chronicle life, calligraphy, letters, paintings, Su Shi's interpretation of Zhouyi, Su Shu's three studies, Dongpo and diet, Wang Anshi, Su Men's disciples, and China scholars in the 20th century.

In China, as long as you have attended elementary school and are a scholar, you can open your mouth and write something about Su Dongpo, right?
Festival: When there is a bright moon, ask the sky for wine/May people live a long life, a thousand miles away.
Gourmet: I've been busy laughing all my life ... 300 lychees a day. As a Lingnan person, I didn't hesitate to grow up ... Artemisia selengensis is covered with short reed buds, which is the time when the puffer fish wants to fuck.
Buddha's edge: Life is like flying snow.
Enlightenment: I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain.
Express my feelings: the river of no return, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic figures of the ages. ...
Scenery: If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate.
Mourning: Ten years of life and death. If you don't think about it, you will never forget it, but you will shed a thousand tears. It is expected that the heartbroken place will be broken every year, and the moonlit night will be short and rambling.
Hero: I said juvenile madness, which leads to yellow on the left and blue on the right …
Comfort the lovelorn: there are plenty of fish in the sea. ...
There is also my favorite artistic conception: if you don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why don't you sing walking bamboo poles and sandals more dexterously than riding a horse? What's terrible? A raincoat and hemp fiber, despite the wind and rain, still live my life. -"Dingfengbo"
The creation background of these poems is familiar to almost every reader, and they are introduced and dabbled in "Nice to meet you, Su Dongpo".
Su Dongpo had a rough life. He was convicted of "speaking", and after three times of great relegation, he traveled across most of China territory and reached Hainan Island as far south as possible. He has never been proud in politics. The twists and turns, lofty sentiments and interests of his life are all in his poems.
In Jinshan's self-titled portrait, he once laughed at himself: his heart is dead, and his body is like a boat. Ask your occupation, Danzhou, Huizhou, Huangzhou. Such a strong heart, this attitude of laughing at life and taking pleasure in suffering, like his poems and songs, have a lasting impact on future generations.
I can't help thinking that if Mr Dongpo lived in the self-media era with WeChat and Weibo, he was probably the one who was banned. ! After all, he is "full of shame" (Su Dongpo's third wife told Yun).
"Energetic people are always difficult to understand. Su Like Dongpo is indispensable in the world. "
After reading "Nice to meet you, Su Dongpo", you will always know more about this great soul.
