Having fun in pain is eating goods. How interesting is the way Su Shi was demoted?

If we want to talk about the most wild poet in ancient times, we can't help but mention Su Shi. Among Su Shi's many labels, there are not only poets, but also writers, calligraphers, painters, water conservancy celebrities and so on. And the most unprofessional thing is that Su Shi is a gourmet. Generally speaking, Su Shi seems to be a poet who is not doing anything, but also a poet with a colorful and all-round life. As Huang Jinxiang commented, "Bo Satellite is a famous satellite, and Yao is in the middle. The wizards of the ages are gone forever! " ; It is difficult to reproduce such a prodigy. What's more commendable is that Su Shi's official career is not smooth, but he has always been optimistic and left an eternal story.

Su Shi

Sushi has been highly anticipated since childhood. Su Shi's father, Su Xun, was only twenty-seven when he began to make a fortune, but he was very serious about his achievements, so he entered the San Zi Jing. In order to prevent Su Shi from being like himself, Su Xun deliberately used the word "teacher" when naming Su Shi. Its original meaning is "wheels, spokes, covers and wheels all have jobs and cars." However, Shi is the only one who has nothing to do. Although, if I go, I don't see it as a car. " ; In other words, a car is made up of many parts. It seems that stone is not outstanding, but it is indispensable. (Stone is the armrest of a car) And this is exactly what Su Xun expects of Su Shi, hoping that he can become an indispensable pillar, but not too obvious and obscure at the same time. This is also Su Xun's earnest hope and anxiety. He hopes to achieve great things, but he is worried about being attacked by floods.

However, Su Shi's life is destined to be extraordinary, which has caused quite a shock when he first went to Beijing to take the exam. Su Dongpo's Biography said that Su Shi had shown an innovative and free and easy style of writing when he first tried. Ouyang Xiu, a famous literary leader at that time, was amazed at this and even praised it. "This man can be described as a good reader, and his articles will be unique in the world in the future." ; It was with the strong appreciation of Ouyang Xiu that Su Shi, who was 19 years old, became famous as the capital in one fell swoop, and his works were once widely circulated. After that, Su Shi passed the examination of the middle school system with the score of "the first in a hundred years", which can be described as the peak of his debut.

But Su Shi is far more than that. He has made achievements in all fields, not just dabbling. In every field, Su Shi has achieved perfection, and he is really a wizard through the ages. If it weren't for the influence of Wutai Poetry Case, perhaps Su Shi's achievements in the Northern Song Dynasty were like a lifetime ago.

From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, the genre of ci has always been regarded as a "path" that can't be on the table. Although Liu Yong promoted the creation of Ci before, it is still difficult to change the contempt of the world for Ci. It was not until the appearance of Su Shi that Ci was carried forward and its style was ingenious, so that later generations praised "its writing is like a person"; On the basis of Liu Yong's tenderness, he has increased male pride. And the choice of theme is no longer love, but feelings of home and country, enterprising and positive. For example, there is a saying in Su Shi's "Water Tune Songs" that "people have joys and sorrows, the moon has ups and downs, and it is difficult to be complete in the past"; Facing the bright moon, Su Shi's mind is full of frustrations in his official career and feelings of hard-to-pay ambition. He wrote this sentence, expressing his thoughts for his younger brother, and at the same time mixed with his own philosophy of "when will the moon shine or wane?" How can he not be admired?

In poetry, Su Shi has many ways to integrate his feelings about life into his works, leaving them in his heart unabashedly, causing future generations to think. As Su Shi said, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain"; It's a model. Su Shi's unique craftsman spirit is a must. Of course, the most commendable thing is that when Su Shi spent the gloomy years, he always convinced himself in the natural landscape phenomenon and held an optimistic attitude, which is an upper realm beyond suffering understanding.

I can't write calligraphy, but Su Shi is still refreshing. You can always find unexpected things in Su Shi. Huang Tingjian, a great calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, once said: "In the early years, although the pen was fine, it was not as natural as the boss." ; This kind of high praise is also the recognition of Su Shi's calligraphy achievements. The change of Su Shi's calligraphy is also related to his mental state. Compared with the delicate brushwork when I was young, my old age turned into nature and my hands followed my heart. And how high is his calligraphy achievement? Second only to Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection and Yan Zhenqing's Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew; For example, Su Shi's Huangzhou Cold Food Sticker is known as the third running book in the world. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Yan once praised that "the brushwork of the old gods is exquisite, magnificent and beautiful, and the mountains follow the calendar, which can be described as peerless treasures."

Among many labels, the identity of a gourmet is the source of comfort and motivation for Su Shi. Many delicious foods in history are related to Su Shi, such as the famous Dongpo meat, which was made by Su Dongpo. At that time, Su Shi managed the West Lake, and the local people brought pork to thank Su Shi. Su Shi, on the other hand, burned the pork into cubes and shared it with everyone. This is the origin of Dongpo meat. Su Dongpo's obsession with pork also comes from himself. He also wrote "Ode to Pork", which said: "Huangzhou is good pork, and its price is as low as dirt. If you refuse to eat, the poor don't understand. " Simple ingredients are like magic in Su Dongpo's hands. People don't eat, goods don't know goods. It's good to enjoy these foods alone.

For example, Su Shi was demoted to Huizhou, and the local litchi was also guilty. Under Su Shi's "300 lychees a day", Su Shi lamented that "you don't have to hesitate to be a Lingnan person". Su Shi has always been unwilling to be wronged by himself. Even in Huizhou, where the market is scarce and commodities are scarce, Su Shi can enjoy the pleasure of food. Being demoted as an official, Su Shi didn't dare to compete with the powerful, so he could only enjoy the sheep's spine. This kind of food, which is not the top ingredient in the eyes of outsiders, has become extremely delicious in Su Shi's hands, and he is still teasing his younger brother so that his teeth are stuck.

This spirit of taking pleasure in suffering is also the embodiment of Su Shi's optimism. Even if his official career rises and falls, even if he fails to make great achievements in his official career, Su Shi is always looking for new sustenance for his own spirit. Even without happiness, Su Shi can create happiness, which is the highest Su Dongpo.
