According to legend, Su Shi happened to live in Xuzhou during the Northern Song Dynasty, and a friend came to visit him. Su Shi intended to cook a sumptuous meal for his friends, but he was immersed in a game of chess with his friends for a while and completely forgot that there was meat stew in the pot.
Su Shi, who suddenly remembered, rushed to the kitchen and found that the pork was not burnt, but was stewed crystal clear. Su Shi quickly took a bite, as if he had discovered a new continent and was applauded by his friends.
Later, there was a flood in Xuzhou, and Su Shi worked hard day and night to finally save Xuzhou. In order to express his gratitude, the people specially bought first-class pork and sent it to Su Shi's home.
Su Shi made these pork Dongpo meats and sent them back to the people for consumption. After eating it, the people were full of praise and learned to cook this dish. Since then, Dongpo meat has been passed down to this day. But not long after, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou. Although not valued by the emperor, he never felt sorry for himself. He still does what he should do, drinking tea and eating meat in his spare time, and even reclaiming wasteland to make himself well fed.
In addition, in his spare time, he wrote the cooking experience of Dongpo meat into the poem "Eat Pork", which makes people feel that eating delicious food is not terrible, but eating cultured food is terrible! What kind of legendary experience did Su Shi have in his life?
Come and meet this Suzhou University, which loves meat.
First, the first half of Su Shi's life
1057, Su Shi took the imperial examination, and an article surprised the examiner Ouyang Xiu. At this time, he was only twenty years old and entered politics at a young age. A few years later, Su Shi took his friends to visit the West Lake, drinking and enjoying the wonderful rivers and mountains. In a happy mood, he wrote a poem that has been passed down through the ages: the West Lake is always appropriate than the West Lake.
At this moment, he is still a high-spirited young man, full of hope for the future, even if the times are not satisfactory. Just then, there was bad news from my hometown, and my wife Wang Fu died of illness.
This bad news is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to Su Shi. He stayed by his wife's tomb all day, unwilling to leave, and his tears were almost dry. Because of this, Su Shi did not write poetry for three years. 1068, Su Shi became his second wife and married Wang Fu's cousin Wang Runzhi.
Although Wang Runzhi is not young, his personality is gentle and kind, and he mostly admires Su Shi. Of all Su Shi's wives, she is the most plain, but also the easiest to get along with.
A few years later, Su Shi suddenly suffered another catastrophe. Because of his involvement in Wutai poetry case, Su Shi became a prisoner from a well-known university student.
The judge tried to get Su Shi to confess and tortured him inhumanely, often interrogating and torturing him in the middle of the night. Even a soldier who practices martial arts every day can't stand it, let alone a helpless civilian. In this way, Su Shi endured 103 days of flogging and torture. He considered the matter thoroughly. He prepared a green elixir, intending to end his life when he really couldn't hold on. In addition, he wrote two letters asking the jailer to give them to his younger brother after his death. Fortunately, he didn't die. Since he went to prison, many people pleaded for him. His wife Wang Runzhi destroyed the manuscript at the first time and finally saved his life.
When he was released from prison, Su Shi was 44 years old. He suddenly realized that more than half of his life had passed, but he did nothing. Capital crime can be avoided, but living crime can't escape, so Su Shi was later demoted to Huangzhou and became Yong Lian's assistant.
When he got home, he met his wife Wang Runzhi, who was as gentle and calm as before and took good care of him. Unlike others, I was afraid to avoid him when I learned that he was in trouble. Su Shi suddenly realized that the most important thing in life is not money, status and fame, but love. Holding his wife's hand, he suddenly had an epiphany and wrote a touching "Huanxisha?" "New Autumn" expresses deep affection and love for his wife.
Second, come through thick and thin.
After arriving in Huangzhou, Su Shi was in big trouble, that is, he had no money. A large area of land in Huangzhou is empty. There are few crops in the field, only countless locusts. Su Shi's family often has no food, and one after another, some people are hungry and sick. For a time, they were so hungry that they couldn't stand it any longer. Su Shi takes his son outside to suck the sun every morning. What is this called? Absorb the essence of the sun.
Su Shi also cultivated hillsides in the east to grow food, so he claimed to be? Dongpo lay man? . But it's all for pleasure. He is well aware that he has brought trouble to his family. Originally, people will achieve something in middle age, not to mention wealth, at least they can have plenty of food and clothing. But he can't even do this, and he is really ashamed to be the head of the family. And his wife Wang Runzhi, seeing all his pain and melancholy, often took advantage of Su Shi's depression to bring a pot of wine and said to him: I have a barrel of wine, which I have hidden for a long time for a rainy day. ? After hearing this, Su Shi smiled instantly and let go of a lot. Wang Runzhi spent the most difficult 25 years of Su Shi's life with him, and this gentlest woman, from a pampered bureaucratic lady to a hardworking peasant woman, never complained, because she was afraid that one or two complaints would be the last straw to crush the camel. Now she is Su Shi's strong backing and can only face up to suffering.
On one occasion, on Wang Run's birthday, Su Shi prayed for her to release fish and wrote poems to express his gratitude to his wife. She is kind and simple, and treats the children of Su Shi and Wang Fu as her own. Even after the death of her first wife, Su Shi wrote? Ten years of life and death, nothing to think about, unforgettable She is not jealous of such poems.
In a word, for Su Shi, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and any praise can be used on her. In A.D. 1085, Song Shenzong succeeded to the throne at the age of nine, and Su Shi was recalled to North Korea as a bachelor of Hanlin, but he was demoted before long. Wang Runzhi, on the other hand, remains the same and will not change because of Su Shi's honor and disgrace. A few years later, Wang Runzhi passed away, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Su Shi. Even though he corrected his wife Wang Chaoyun, he never changed his love for her. In July of A.D.11/year, Su Shi was seriously ill, and after his death, his son buried him with his wife Wang Runzhi. This shows that Wang Runzhi is very important to her. After all, Su Shi has three wives, and Wang Runzhi is the most important one.
Although Wang Chaoyun was nearly thirty years younger than Su Shi, he died before Su Shi because of the epidemic.
Su Shi lost his wife three times in his life, was demoted many times, went to prison once, and experienced the death of his youngest son, but he survived. No matter how the villain in the DPRK slanders and frames him, he can keep an open mind and seek benefits for the people. Besides, with his wife Wang Runzhi around, no amount of pain will go away. After years of baptism, Su Shi gradually became open-minded and tolerant. Later, he went to visit Wang Anshi, his former political enemy, and was completely relieved. Wang Anshi, who was pardoned, praised Su Shi again and again: I don't know how many centuries later, there are still such figures.
