Su Shi and Xin Qiji were born a hundred years apart, one lived in the Northern Song Dynasty and the other in the Southern Song Dynasty. An imperial examination was born and became famous all over the world. An army with a military background lost its enemy's courage in fame. Different life experiences have created their different creative ideas.
Su Shi's bold and unconstrained ci style stems not only from his understanding and accumulation of art, but also from his personal political life experience. Su Shi was demoted several times in his official career, experienced ups and downs, and even went to prison, and experienced the joys and sorrows of life. In the face of ideal and reality, I gradually let go, and I am complacent. Dispel political frustration and distress with poetry. The attitude of "fame stays the same, losing one, being happy and unhappy, thinking about moving away" made him find his real home in nature. "There should be no hate in" Water Tune ". Why say goodbye? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon has yin and yang, and there are gains and losses. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope that people will live a long life. Before facing setbacks, it is the best interpretation for him.
Compared with Su Shi, Xin Qiji's attitude towards life is much more positive. I have advocated resisting gold all my life. Although I was treated unfairly, I didn't give up. Hit the wall again and again, sad and angry again and again. At the same time, his words are always filled with tragic feelings, which makes people feel depressed when reading, but they can't help but applaud his patriotic spirit. For example, in "Yong Yu Le Deng Jing Kou Gu Bei Ting Nostalgia for the Past", he expressed his feelings and ambitions for his home country in his twilight years, and at the same time satirized the weakness of the Southern Song emperor with ancient words, which was old-fashioned and far-reaching. At the end of the word, "Lian Po is old, can she still eat?" The poet compared himself with Lian Po, and poured out his grief and indignation that he had no choice but to serve the country.
