The whole poem is about the white-haired and flower-wearing Lord Don’t laugh, time never defeats the beauty. If there are poems and books hidden in the heart, the youth will be captured and become true.
The meaning of this sentence is that a woman’s beauty will be taken away by the years, and her gorgeous youth will also pass with time, but the only thing that will not fade throughout her life is your poetry and books. The radiant fragrance that never fades from the inside out.
Introduction to Su Shi
Su Shi lived from January 8, 1037 to August 24, 1101. He was a native of Meishan, Meizhou, with the courtesy name Zizhan, the first name Hezhong, and the nickname Dongpo Jushi. Tieguan Taoist, a famous writer and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, was known as Su Huang together with Huang Tingjian, Su Xin with Xin Qiji, and Ou Su together with Ouyang Xiu. He was one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties and one of the four great masters of the Song Dynasty.
In 1057, the second year of Jiayou's reign, Su Shi passed the imperial examination and became a bachelor of Duanming Palace and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. During Wang Anshi's reform period, although Su Shi agreed that politics should be reformed, he opposed the hasty policies and the successor Lu Huiqing appointed by Wang Anshi. Therefore, Li Ding, a minion of the New Party, was framed.
Later, because Su Shi opposed the abolition of the new law, he was repelled by the old party headed by Sima Guang and could not be prime minister for the rest of his life. Because Su Shi did not please both sides in the struggle between the old and new parties, his official career was frustrated. He was unfit for the time. During Yuanyou's reform, he was once promoted to Shangshu. During Shaosheng's reign, because Zhang Dun of the new party became prime minister, he was demoted to Danzhou.
On July 28 of the first year of the year, Su Shi died of illness in Changzhou when he was pardoned and returned to the north. He was 65 years old. The following year, his son Su Guo obeyed his instructions and transported Su Shi's coffin to Jiacheng County for burial. At that time, he was given the posthumous title of Taishi, and during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, he was posthumously named Wenzhong. Su Shi made great achievements in prose, poetry, poetry, and fu. He was also good at calligraphy and painting.
