On Mr. Dongpo's Lingnan Artistic Conception from Lychee Poetry.
Su Dongpo was accused of "belittling the court" and was demoted to Lingnan in the first year of Song Zhezong's Shaosheng, and was "forbidden to sign books for business". As a result, Mr. Dongpo lingered in the mountains and rivers, observed the mountains and rivers, and had a deep love for Lingnan. Even litchi, which is very common in Lingnan, is so persistent.
On April 11th, the second year of Shao Sheng, Su Shi ate litchi for the first time in Huizhou, and wrote a poem "Eating Litchi at the Beginning of April 11th", which was full of praise for litchi: "... in the misty rain of yellow flowers, he was especially a pioneer with litchi. The seamount is crimson, and the white jade skin is in the red yarn. You don't have to wait for the princess to laugh, and your personality is naturally beautiful ... "Since then, Su Shi has repeatedly expressed his love for litchi in his poems. For example, "Five Songs of the New Year": "When the plums are ripe, the flower heads are now numerous." "To Tan Xiu": "It is not enough to leave bamboo shoots and ferns as teachers. When will litchi be disappointed?" Preface to Six Poems of Hetao Returning to the Garden: "An old man is eighty-five, which means (litchi) told me:' And it is edible, can you bring wine to swim?' I am willing to promise this. "Returning to the Garden with Tao" Part V: "I would like to be a chicken and millet bureau with litchi society." "Poem of Eating Litchi Two Times" Part II: "Three hundred Litchi a day, I will grow up to be a Lingnan person. "
Among them, the phrase "300 lychees a day, I will grow up to be a Lingnan person" is the most well known. Most poets think that Mr. Dongpo came to praise the scenery of Lingnan, thus expressing his nostalgia for Lingnan. In fact, this is a sweet hymn full of bitterness sung by Mr. Dongpo.
Yes, from some phenomena, Su Shi's mood in Lingnan is indeed calmer than when he was just demoted to Huangzhou, and the frustration and depression of "cooking cold dishes in the air and burning reeds in the kitchen" have also disappeared. According to the legend of Song history, Su Shi lived in Huizhou for three years, but there was no place to introduce himself, and no one was smart or stupid, so he won his favor. After being demoted to Qiongzhou, he lived in a place where no one lived. "In the beginning, you need a company." So Shi bought land to build a house, and the people moved soil to help it. My youngest son and I live alone, write books for fun, and always swim past his parents, if it lasts for a lifetime. "Su Zhe's introduction to Mr. Dongpo and Shi Tao:" Mr. Dongpo lives in seclusion and lives under Luo Fu ... the idea of luxurious houses and luxurious food does not exist in his chest. "When Su Dongpo was in Lingnan, he not only cared about the natural scenery and customs, but also had frequent contacts with monks. There are many works of singing with monks in his poems. This does show a sense of seclusion to a certain extent.
