First, the principle of Confucianism's active accession to the WTO
Confucianism actively joined the WTO and has always occupied the dominant position of Su Shi's thought. "Former Red Cliff Ode": "So I drank it happily and sang. The song says:' Return to the blue oar, strike the sky and trace the streamer. I am pregnant, looking at the beautiful scenery, looking at the sky. The beauty here is actually the embodiment of his ideal and all good things, and it can also be inferred from Qu Yuan's statement that "vanilla beauty is a gentleman", which is his nostalgia and fantasy for the monarch. With the image of "beauty", he expressed the frustration of his official career, and also carried the feelings of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, indicating that Su Shi never forgot politics in his relegation life and always adhered to the Confucian principle of actively joining the WTO. "Fang Qi broke Jingzhou, down to Jiangling, downstream to the east. It is thousands of miles long, covered with banners, drinking near the river and writing poems horizontally. Through the mouth of the guests, he revealed his admiration for Cao Cao's achievements, and also expressed the principle of actively joining the WTO and his desire to serve the country.
Second, the spiritual solution of quietism.
In life, Taoism's detached and broad-minded attitude towards life has also had a far-reaching impact on Su Shi. "Qian Chi Bi Fu": "The vastness is like leaning on the virtual wind, and I don't know where it ends; It's like independence, feather and immortality. "Words full of Taoist meanings, such as' Imperial Wind' and' Ascending Immortal', are Taoism's pursuit of adapting to freedom and getting rid of human fetters and fetters, and are also Su Shi's spiritual sustenance." ... to be the best in the world, now? ..... Mourn the moment in life and admire the infinity of the Yangtze River. Fly with the flying fairy, hold the bright moon, and grow up. Knowing that it is impossible to get it suddenly, I hate it. "Take Cao Cao, the hero of the world, as an example, lamenting that life is short, admiring the endless rivers and expressing his fantasy of meeting the gods and being with the bright moon." Don't suddenly know, but hate Taiwan. "A word once again shows that Su Shi's spiritual sustenance comes from Taoism. This negative outlook on life and nihilism is also a reflection of Taoist negative hermit thought.
Thirdly, the successful application of Confucianism and Taoism.
Su Shi spent almost all his life in relegation, so only Confucianism is easy to make people depressed and degenerate, while Taoism's negative birth idea is contrary to his principle of actively joining the WTO. So he chose to combine the two, and at the same time take the essence and discard the dross. Entering the WTO with the heart of being born is the ultimate embodiment of his Confucianism and Taoism. "Former Red Cliff Fu": "The deceased is like this, but it has never happened; If you are full of emptiness, the deceased is not long or short. " The lost time is like this river, but it has not really passed away; Life is like this bright moon, and it will not increase or decrease in the end. Just as Su Shi said in another work, Shuidiao Song Tou: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has ups and downs. This matter is ancient and difficult. " His thoughts and feelings are not as ignorant as Taoism, but like a phoenix born of nirvana, full of love and yearning for life even in the face of difficulties. Such a positive and broad-minded outlook on life is obtained by Su Shi's rational use of Confucianism and Taoism. "Gai must view it from its changers, then heaven and earth cannot be in an instant; If you look at it from its unchangeable point of view, then things are infinite, so why not? " Su Shi is in favor of looking at problems from multiple angles instead of absolutizing them, which is an important reason why Su Shi can "seek common ground while reserving differences" between Confucianism and Taoism. Therefore, despite adversity, he can maintain an open-minded, detached, optimistic and adaptive mental state, get rid of the uncertainty of life and treat life rationally. "Between husband and heaven, everything has its own master. If it is not mine, I will take it for nothing. " Su Shi believes that everything in the world has a master, and we can't force things that don't belong to him, just like endless life or things other than power and money. Such self-encouragement and comfort can not only help him solve his frustration in his official career, but also help him maintain an optimistic attitude, not feel sorry for himself in life and not drift with the tide in politics.
What we should learn from Qian Chi Bi Fu is not only Su Shi's open-minded outlook on life and time, but also his self-liberation by using Confucianism and Taoism when he is frustrated. Perhaps, it is this kind of thought that makes Su Shi a "happy genius" on the road of frustrated official career, makes him stick to himself in adversity with the political determination of "preparing for a rainy day", and also makes him express his feelings rain or shine when looking back on his life, making his spiritual realm and literary creation unrepeatable in history. As Mr. Lin Yutang analyzed: "Su Dongpo is an incurable optimist, a great humanist, a friend of the people, a great writer, a great calligrapher, an innovative painter, an experimenter in brewing, an engineer, a hypocrite, a yogi, a Buddhist, a great Confucian politician, the emperor's secretary, Brewmaster and a kind judge.
Su Shi's life was not smooth sailing. He was ill-fated and took a road full of thorns. He fell down again and again and got up again and again. When most people are complaining about his unfortunate life, he still comforts and exhorts himself with his unique thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism, and unswervingly marches in the footsteps of pleading for the people all his life.
? When we meet the bottleneck of our own life, we should also learn to look at the problem stone from different angles. Not only can you relieve your inner depression and regain your self-confidence, but you can also stick to yourself and not go with the flow. I think it's because you are on the road that the scholar is poor and it's difficult. Su Shi's Confucianism and Taoism is a bright light for those who are struggling on this road, inspiring them to move on.
