Su Dongpo read some books when he was a teenager. Because of his cleverness, he is often praised by his teachers. He proudly posted a couplet in front of his house: "Know all the words in the world and read all the books in the world." After a white-haired old woman visited Su Shi with an esoteric ancient book, Su Shi didn't know the words in the book, and the old woman gently criticized Su Shi, so Su Shi changed the couplet to "learn all the words in the world and make up my mind to read all the books in the world" as a self-encouragement, and it has since become a much-told story.
2. Su Shi wrote an article "bullying" the judge.
Su Shi, who entered the Jinshi examination, wrote an article in the Spring and Autumn Period called "On Rewarding Loyalty with Punishment", which contained the following paragraphs:
When Yao was in office, he was a scholar and killed people without blinking an eye. Hao Tao said "kill the third" and Yao said "kill the third", so the world feared the strictness of law enforcement, while Le Yao used it as a light punishment.
Siyue said "guns can be used", Yao said "no, guns can command clans", and then he said "try it".
He Yaozhi didn't listen to Hao Tao's murder, but used four mountains.
However, the sage's intentions can also be seen.
Judge Mei Yu Sheng at that time was very appreciative of Su Shi's article. But anyone with historical knowledge knows that he is the judicial officer of Shun. Does it have anything to do with Yao? May Yu Sheng don't understand this. After reading it again and again, she went to ask Su Shi. Su Shi said that the answer lies in the biography of the reflection of Kong Rong. However, Mei read it many times and still couldn't find the source, so she went to ask Su Shi again. Su Shi had to honestly answer that this was his own fabrication, and Mei was even more puzzled. Su Shi said that in the biography of the reflection of Kong Rong, Kong Rong told Cao Cao that Shang Zhouwang rewarded the Duke of Zhou with da ji. Cao Cao asked if it was possible, and Kong Rong replied that there was one today, and there should have been one in ancient times. Su Shi invented such a story on this basis, which made Mei Yu Sheng appreciate Su Shi more.
3. Cook Dongpo pork in oil.
When Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, there was a famous jingle in Pork Fu: "Huangzhou is a good pork, but the price is worthless. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't know how to cook. Slow down the fire, less water, and it will look good when the fire is full. Get up and play a bowl every day, and you are too full to care. " Here, "slow fire, less water, good-looking after enough fire" is the famous Dongpo meat cooking method. Su Dongpo was later appointed governor of Hangzhou and was deeply loved by the people. And this "Dongpo Meat" followed closely, and became famous in Hangzhou, becoming a famous local dish.
4. Go to the banquet to recite poems and "swallow the six countries"
When Su Shi was twenty years old, he went to Beijing for scientific research. Six conceited juren looked down on him and decided to invite Su Shi to dinner for the next dish, intending to Doby him. Su Shi went with pleasure after receiving the invitation.
Before the chopsticks are moved, everyone puts forward a drinking order. The content of the drinking order must quote historical figures and events, so that you can eat a dish by yourself. The other five people cheered.
"I'll go first." The elder said, "Jiang Ziya is fishing in Weishui!" Then I took a plate of fish.
"Qin Changan sells horses!" The second one proudly took the horse meat away.
"To Tu Thanh is herding sheep in Beihu Lake!" The third man took the mutton without weakness.
"Zhang Yide Zhuoxian sells meat!" The fourth reached out and barbecued.
"Guan Yunchang Jingzhou scraping bones!" The fifth one couldn't wait to take the bone.
"Zhuge Liang grows vegetables in Longzhong!" The sixth proudly picked up the last green vegetable.
When all the dishes were served and six juren were happily preparing to laugh at Su Shi while eating, Su Shi unhurriedly sang "Qin Shihuang annexed six countries!" "Say that finish, he put all six dishes in front of him and said with a smile," Brothers, please! " Six juren stupefied.
5. Beijing will be ranked second.
When Su Shi took the Beijing exam, Ouyang Xiu, a famous literary master in the Northern Song Dynasty, presided over the exam. When he was examining and approving the paper, he was fascinated by Su Shi's gorgeous and superb writing style. In order to prevent favoritism, the papers at that time were all anonymous. Therefore, although Ouyang Xiu wanted to choose this article as the first, he felt that this article was very similar to that written by his favorite pupil Ceng Gong, and he was afraid of falling behind the crowd, so he finally rated the second. It was not until the list was published that Ouyang Xiu knew that the author of the article was Su Shi. After learning the truth, Ouyang Xiu regretted it, but Su Shi didn't care at all. Ouyang Xiu admired Su Shi's generosity and outstanding talent: "Such a young talent should really make him stand out and formally accept Su Shi as a disciple."
6, "Leng Xiang" poetry party.
After the second place in Su Shi's high school, the three sons of Su Shi and the people who are famous for their "three difficulties" gathered in the garden to celebrate. Su Xun, the father of Su Shi, put forward the word "Leng Xiang", and both of them wrote two poems, which would suit the situation at that time.
In order to take the lead, Sue walked slowly to the edge of the flower pond, chanting: "Water flows cold from the stone edge, and wind comes from flowers."
Shao You stood up, picked a toon and flicked his fingers, saying, "I don't know the cold characters, but plum blossoms are all over his fingers."
My little sister also goes to pick flowers, and if she swims less, she will laugh at him and imitate herself. However, the little sister said, "it will make the cuckoo's throat cold, and it will make the dream of flowers fragrant." Say that finish spread out the palm, a butterfly has been trampled to death. The characteristics of the daughter were exposed, and everyone cheered in unison.
Su Shi brushed the stone bench with his clothes and rode away. Su Laoquan shouted: "My son, don't leave until you answer." After saying his word, Su Shi screamed: "The clothes are cold when brushing stones, and the horseshoe fragrance is gone when stepping on flowers"!
Although this is a legend, its credibility can not be verified, but we can also get a glimpse of Su Shi's talent.
7. Enjoy the moon and visit the lake, talking and laughing.
Su Dongpo is in Hangzhou and likes to make friends with monks in West Lake Temple. He and monk Fo Yin of Jinshan Temple are best friends. They often make jokes while drinking and reciting poems.
Monks in Fo Yin are delicious. Whenever Su Dongpo treats guests at a banquet, he always comes uninvited.
One night, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to visit the West Lake, and many tables and drinks were prepared on board. When the cruise ship left the shore, Su Dongpo smiled and said to Huang Tingjian, "Fo Yin will come to every party. Tonight, we will take a boat to the lake to drink, sing poems and have a good time. He can't come anyway. "
Who knows that Fo Yin monk learned that Su Dongpo was going to swim with Huang Tingjian in the lake, so he hid under the deck before they boarded the boat.
The bright moon is in the sky, the cool breeze is refreshing, and the lotus fragrance is full of lakes. The cruise ship slowly came to the three towers of the West Lake. Su Dongpo raised his glass, smoothed his beard and said happily to Huang Tingjian, "Today, without Fo Yin, we are quiet. Let's start by ordering wine. The first two sentences should be immediate, and the last two sentences should end with the word' in'. " Huang Tingjian said, "All right!"
Su Dongpo said first: "What can the sky say when the clouds open and the moon shines?" ? What is the sky saying? "
Huang Tingjian looked at the lotus flowers all over the lake, and then said, "Li Anping pushed them away and swam out. This is a good thing! Get what you want! "
At this time, Fo Yin couldn't help being pressed under the deck. As soon as he heard Huang Tingjian's words, he pushed open the deck and climbed out, saying, "Push the deck open and Fo Yin will come out. What a pity! Hey! "
Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian were startled to see a man suddenly climb out from under the planking. When they looked carefully, it turned out to be Fo Yin. When they heard him say such four poems, they couldn't help laughing.
Su Dongpo took Fo Yin and sat down and said, "You hid well. You are right. You ate again today! " So, the three of them enjoyed the moon and swam around the lake, talking and laughing.
8, Dongpo monk "bones" cold
One day, Su Shi and Fo Yin visited the West Lake by boat. Su Shi deliberately played a trick on Fo Yin. He looked up and saw a dog holding a bone by the river, so he wrote, "The dog is eating a bone by the river." Fo Yin threw the poem into the water and immediately replied: "The poem (corpse) of Shui Piao Dongpo."
9. Tackling the defeated Ambassador Liao
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Song people were repeatedly invaded by Liao. However, the imperial court, which was bent on seeking peace, attracted the envoys of Liao State and sent a pair of couplets, asking the Song people to answer correctly: three lights, the sun, the moon and the stars. If you are allied, you will withdraw your troops and make peace.
This couplet looks simple, but it is not easy to get it right. The number in the sentence is the same as the number after it, and the number selected in the sentence corresponds to three things more or less.
Su Shi, who happened to return to Beijing to report on his work, skillfully combined the upper and lower couplets into one: four poems, elegant and ode.
This couplet has only three names in four poems, because there are "Ya" and "Ya" in the Book of Songs, which are collectively called "Ya". In addition, there are four parts: "national style" and "ode to poetry", so the Book of Songs is also called "Four Books".
The punch line is natural, and Liao admires it to the extreme.
10, make love to the moon.
One day, Su Shi, his sister and Huang Tingjian enjoyed these paintings. It's interesting to see the title above: the breeze is fine and the willows are fine, and the plum blossoms are pale. Look, it's a four-character couplet, but there is a word in the middle. Miss Jie suggested adding words in the middle to become a five-character couplet.
Huang Tingjian caught it right: dancing in the wind and hiding plum blossoms in the bright moon.
Su Shi fills in: The breeze shakes the willows, and the bright moon reflects the plum blossoms.
Miss Jie thought for a moment, responded immediately, and filled in the words to make it become: the breeze helps the willows, and the plum blossoms are defeated in the bright moon.
Throughout the three-person couplets, Xiaomei is the most important: the word "Fu" not only describes the softness of the wind and the exquisiteness of the willow, but also the intimacy between the wind and the willow, which is more vivid; The word "lost" is also more appropriate than the word "hidden", which not only emphasizes the bright moonlight, but also takes into account the cleanliness of plum blossoms, highlighting the fusion of the two, which is more consistent and appropriate.
1 1, "Do more good than celebrate"
Fo Yin, a close friend of Su Shi, is a monk, but he never avoids wine and meat. On this day, Fo Yin fried fish and drank wine, which happened to be the day when Su Shi visited. Fo Yin quickly hid the fish under the big fish. Su Shi had already smelled the fish, but he didn't see it when he entered the door. His mind changed when he remembered that he had been cheated by Huang Tingjian that day.
