Su Shi is a master of poetry, ci, prose and painting, whether it is the free and easy "when is the bright moon? Ask for wine from heaven", the heroic "Great River East has gone through the ages", or "bamboo sandals are lighter than horses. Who is afraid? A misty rain made me live my life, or I was sad about my dead wife's "ten years of life and death, I don't think about it, I will never forget it." He changed the softness and sadness before Song Ci, and changed Ci from an accessory of music to an independent lyric style. His poems are fresh and gratifying-"the water is bright and sunny, the mountains are empty and rainy." "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate." Full of philosophy, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only in this body."
? However, his great talent is not limited to the field of literature. His calligraphy "Cold Food Sticker", "Preface to Wang Xizhi's Lanting" and "Yan Zhenqing's Sacrifice to His Nephew" are also called "the three major running scripts in the world", which are eloquent and trustworthy. The so-called "short, long and fat ridges have their own states". He loved bamboo all his life and was better at drawing ink bamboo. Unlike ordinary people, he painted bamboo poles one at a time, but "from bottom to top", attached importance to likeness, advocated feelings beyond painting, and did not stick to form, thus creating "Huzhou School of Painting" and laying the foundation for China's "Literati Painting".
When Su Shi was an official in various places, he was more like a bosom friend of the people. He himself once said, "I can accompany the jade emperor in the upper class and the beggar in the lower class." There are no bad people in the world before me. " He organized thousands of workers to dredge the West Lake in Hangzhou, and built the silt excavated in the lake into a long embankment to communicate with the north and south, which not only unblocked the traffic, but also added the beauty of the West Lake and made the beauty of "Su Causeway Xiao Chun"; In Hangzhou, the urban public health plan was realized and the earliest public hospital "Anlefang" in China was established. Many people abandoned their children in the famine year in Michigan, and Su Shi was very sad. He set up a children's rescue society to "pick up and abandon children in the city" and saved thousands of babies. During the flood in Xuzhou, he personally went to the front line to fight floods, advanced and retreated with the people, and finally fought floods. After Su Shi's death, "wuyue people cried. Obituaries everywhere, no wise fool asks for advice. He is "serving as an official and benefiting one party" and is very famous all over the country. When he was an official, he was "majestic", and his deeds were sung by the people.
After Wutai Poetry Case, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou. He lived in Linfen Pavilion, built his own "Tang Xue" and had a good time. It is often said that "there is no shortage of beauty in the world, what is lacking is a pair of eyes that discover beauty." Su Shi is like this. He has a poet's sensitive heart and a good attitude of being open-minded in adversity. Rivers are fickle, and idlers are the masters. He praised the mountains here for their beauty. "Jiangnan mountains in a few seats. Fortunately, there is no beginning. " At the same time, he began to work on an idle land in Dongpo, wearing a hat and holding a plow, and became a real farmer, calling himself "Dongpo lay man". When he was demoted to Huangzhou, he wrote "Ode to Pork": "A clean pot, no water, firewood can't afford to smoke. Don't wait until he is ripe to rush him, and he will be beautiful when the fire is booming. " So there was Dongpo meat, which was passed down through the ages and became a famous dish in Hangzhou. Besides, he also invented Dongpo elbow, Dongpo soup and Dongpo cake, as he himself said, "This peace of mind is my hometown". He is content with the status quo and is open-minded by nature, which really turns life into a poem.
? Su Shi's official career has experienced ups and downs. During his official career, he drew up a beautiful and concise imperial edict. Rumor has it that after Su Shi's death, another man named Hong took his place and was quite confident in his literary talent. So he asked Su Dongpo's old servant how he was better than Su Dongpo. The old servant came back and said, "Su Dongpo's writing is not necessarily better than that of adults, but he never has to look up books." Su Shi's profound knowledge can be seen. He is also humorous and has a cheerful temperament. He joked with his old friend Chen Jichang: "I suddenly heard a lion roar in Hedong, and my cane fell into my palm." Chen Jichang is famous for his henpecked wife, from which the story of "Roar at the Lion" comes.
Su Shi was aboveboard all his life and always kept his true colors as a famous minister. Throughout his life, he has experienced ups and downs and been relegated repeatedly, but he is still open-minded. When he was down and out, he devoted himself to poetry and painting and wrote many well-known poems. Whether it is "where life is, it should be like flying snow", "flying in the world is like a drop in the ocean", or "life is like a trip, I am also a pedestrian", I will always see a figure wandering in the moonlight, lasting forever.
