When Su Shi was very young, his father traveled to Jianghuai area because he came to Beijing to study for the exam, while his mother disciplined her children at home. Su Shi's mother's teaching has a great influence on his growth. When Su Shi was a child, he liked reading The Book of the Later Han Dynasty. It is recorded in the book that in the later Han Dynasty, the court was not repaired and the regime fell into the hands of eunuchs. Scholars and Confucian scholars at that time rebelled against the rule of shady villains.
Greed, bribery, extortion and indiscriminate killing of innocent people are common, because local officials are all stooges raised by eunuchs. Many honest people and students risked their lives to impeach traitors. The voices of reform and protest are one after another; Investigation and trial are endless. At that time, scholars and students were either tortured or murdered under the imperial edict.
Among these scholars, there is a brave young man named Fan Pang. Su Shi's mother often takes Fan Pang as an example to educate Su Shi. Whenever my mother talks about Fan Pang, Su Shi will ask, "Mom, do you want me to be like Fan Pang when I grow up?" Mom replied happily, "I'm so happy if you can become Fan Pang!"
2. Bird's Nest
The poet Su Shi entered a private school at the age of 6. This private school is not small, 100 students, but there is only one teacher and one Taoist. Su Shi, a poet, was extremely clever and soon showed it. Among so many pupils, he is the most popular with teachers. Usually, the poet Su Shi has many interests besides reading. After coming home from school, he often observes the bird's nest in the yard.
Because my mother had strictly forbidden the poet Su Shi and the maid at home not to catch birds, many birds built their nests on the branches of the courtyard so low that children could see them. A bird with extremely beautiful and bright feathers lived in the yard of the poet Su Shi's house for a few days and built a nest on a fruit tree in the yard. The poet Su Shi regards this bird's nest as a treasure and visits it almost every day when he comes home from school.
When the poet Su Shi was a child, he had a very clear impression of this bird in the yard.
3. inkstone
At that time, the poet Su Shi's uncle had become an official, and all officials of the imperial court would visit Su Jia when passing through meishan town. Every time an official comes, the family will be busy for a while, let the girls run around barefoot, pick vegetables and kill chickens in the garden, and prepare a banquet to entertain guests. The poet Su Shi often helps at this time, exuding the joy of labor.
The greatest pleasure of Su Shi, a poet at that time, and his cousins was digging in the vegetable garden. Every time you dig, the children will get different results. One day, the children dug up a beautiful slate, which has both crystal luster and delicate green stripes. When they struck, the slate made a crisp metallic sound. The poet Su Shi picked up this slate and said, "How about I use it as an inkstone?"
Cousin said: "I think the slate is so beautiful, it is better to find a craftsman to polish it and make jewelry." Su Shi, a poet, shook his head and said, "Look at how sparse the texture of the slate is. It must be easy to absorb water and keep it moist. I think it is better to use it as an inkstone. "
When my father learned of this, he was secretly surprised that the poet Su Shi was so delicate at an early age. So he found a craftsman and gave the slate to the poet Su Shi, who has been spending his golden youth with this inkstone.
4. Write poems in the early years
When the poet Su Shi 10 was old, he was already able to write amazing poems. In his essay "On Rats", there are two sentences like this: "It is different from you, but it is different from things, so it is changed by the bite of a mouse." People can break the wall of 1000 yuan, but they can't lose their voices in the kettle; You can kill tigers, but you can't be stung by bees. "
This article describes a sly little mouse, which fell into an earthen urn and pretended to be dead. When the urn fell to the ground, he ran away quickly, which was a lie. The poet Su Shi can write such a chapter, which is inseparable from his extensive interest and his love for observing life.
5. A good method of "Soviet-style" endorsement
When Su Shi 1 1 was years old, he began to prepare for the imperial examination seriously. In order to prepare for the exam, students must read classics, history and poems, and classic ancient books must be familiar with them, so that they can recite the whole article. When reciting in class, students must stand with their backs to the teacher to avoid peeking at the articles open on the teacher's desk. Students who are willing to study hard can recite all the texts in history books.
When you endorse, you should not only pay attention to the content and knowledge of the article, but also pay attention to the wording, because the vocabulary used in the article is learned from here. This kind of rote learning is really a difficult and laborious thing. The traditional old method is to let students recite a whole book without punctuation, and let students add punctuation to test whether they understand it thoroughly.
The students who study hardest can actually copy classics and official history, and Su Shi also uses this method when studying. Because I have copied a book word by word, I have not only read it many times. This diligent method is of great benefit to Su Shi's future, because whenever he remonstrates with the emperor or drafts the imperial edict for the emperor, or quotes historical examples,
He will never be at a loss, just as modern lawyers cite precedents. Moreover, when Su Shi copied books, he would also take the opportunity to practice calligraphy. Su Shi's calligraphy achievements are very high in history, and his Huangzhou cold food paste is known as the third running script in the world.
Most of his handwriting is simple and clear. Although his calligraphy is characterized by low left and high right, a vast breath of Wang Yang is his personal characteristic, just like his profound knowledge-Long Bian is unpredictable, and occasionally showing his Huangzhou Cold Food Post has also been earth-shattering. As a result, Su Shi's calligraphy achievements are listed as the first of the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty.
