Su Shi, also known as Zizhan and Hezhong, was also known as Dongpo Jushi. A native of Meishan, Meizhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, which now belongs to Meishan City, Sichuan Province. A famous writer, calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. "Ask you about your life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou" This is Su Shi's summary of his life when he was in his sixties. Danzhou is Hainan. At that time, Huizhou was a barbaric tribe and Danzhou was an overseas desert island and an uncivilized area. "Chibi Fu" was one of the most difficult periods in Su Shi's life when he was exiled to Huangzhou. After the "Wutai Poetry Case", he was "not allowed to sign official documents or go to the resettlement house without authorization." This was undoubtedly a "semi-prisoner" type of control. Life. Although his political career was at a low point, his literary creation reached its peak during this period. His outlook on life, worldview, and values ??underwent tremendous changes in Huangzhou. Su Shi achieved Huangzhou and Chibi. Huangzhou and Chibi also created the unparalleled Su Shi.
"Red Cliff Ode" uses the form of dialogue to describe boating on a moonlit night, drinking wine and composing poems. The sentiment of remembering the past and hurting the gold in Hakka's words is the unwavering determination in Su Shi's words. With the bright moon in the sky in front of me, the gentle breeze coming slowly, and the calm water waves, I can sweep away the joys and sorrows in front of me and express the open-mindedness in my heart.
' It's as vast as Feng Xu flying against the wind without knowing where it's going; it's as fluttering as if it's independent from the world, becoming an immortal and becoming an immortal. Under the guidance of the breeze, the ship floats gently, floats ah. Or east or west, or south or north. Su Shi didn't care, he let it drift, as free as an immortal, as if he was separated from the troubles of the world. The worldly struggle in front of him, fame, wealth and power no longer mattered, everything became dull and careless. Such an environment, with the moon rising over the eastern mountains, white dew across the river, and a vast expanse of land paving the way for Su Shi's open-mindedness below.
‘So I drank and enjoyed myself very much. I clasped my strings and sang, ‘The osmanthus and the orchid oar hit the sky and the bright light traces back to the stream. I feel vague in my heart, looking forward to the beauty in the sky. Under the influence of alcohol, I sing with the strings clasped, and the pursuit of beautiful ideals gradually evokes the frustration of not being able to realize it. At this moment, the flute is whining again, and the lingering sound is lingering, even for the bold and unrestrained Su Dongpo. Also moved by it. I couldn't help but say, "Su Zi was stunned and sat upright." It can be seen that Su Shi's mood at this time was different from this sadness, so he wanted to ask. It is also here that the article turns from joy to sadness, ups and downs, and the literary spirit is revived.
Isn’t this a poem by Cao Mengde, ‘The moon is sparse and the stars are sparse, and the magpies are flying south’? Looking to the west of Xiakou and to the east of Wuchang, the mountains and rivers are close to each other, and the sky is green. Isn't this what Meng De was trapped in Zhou Lang? ’ The guest did not elaborate directly, but answered with the historical monuments of Chibi. Two rhetorical questions recalled the deeds of the great hero Cao Cao. At that time, he was also writing poems here, and he was very energetic. ‘How are you now? ’ Another rhetorical question, a change of writing, this ‘hero of a lifetime’ is only for a moment. "Kuangwu and I were fishing and woodcutter on the river bank. We were friends with fish, shrimps, and elk. We rode a small boat with a single leaf, and held up gourds and bottles to communicate with each other. A mayfly is sent to heaven and earth, a drop in the ocean. If Cao Cao is like this, then you and I are just pebbles between heaven and earth. Lament the brevity of life and envy the eternity of all things. The nihilism shown moved Su Shi.
But Su Shi is still Su Shi after all. "The dead are like this, but they are not gone; the ones who are full and weak are like that, but the dead are not waxing and waning." If you look at the changes in Gaijiang, you will see that heaven and earth have never been able to last for a moment. If you look at the changes in the general, things and I will be endless. How can we envy you? The bright moon in the river proves that heaven and earth are fleeting, but when you think about it, things and people are endless.
There is no need to envy the bright moon over the river, and there is no need to lament that life is short. Then he explained all this, the breeze, the bright moon, this nature, are the natural treasures that you and I share. Even in the face of adversity, he can maintain such an open-minded, detached, and optimistic mental state, freeing himself from the uncertainty of the world. Wandering there, enjoying yourself, it can be said that "you don't have to buy a clear breeze and a bright moon"
Finally, after listening to Su Shi's talk, the guests turned from sadness to joy, drank freely, and wrote about their unforgettable gains and losses. , a state of transcendence.
Full Fu, scene and theory are combined with a clear structure. The author uses the landscape, wind and moon to express his reasoning, using the guest's nihilism and pessimism to set off the author's open-minded optimism. He contemplates the rise and fall of history and laments the shortness of life and the depression of reality. However, Su Shi elaborated on the philosophy of change and immutability, clarifying that people coexist with all things in the world and do not need to be so negative. It is full of fairy spirit, as if the author's clothes are flying, riding on the wind, independent from the world, intoxicated with nature, open-minded and detached. In the collision between hope and reality, ideals and setbacks, Su Shi satisfactorily answered the guest's questions with an open mind, an eclectic and flexible application of the spirit of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and an optimistic and free feeling.
I think, on the one hand, Confucianism is rooted in Su Shi's heart, which makes his pursuit of "beauty" unchangeable. He "will never do nothing and let the grass and trees rot together" and will definitely "benefit the world" . On the other hand, when reality is hit hard, the thoughts of Buddhism and Taoism allow him to adjust his psychology and cultivate his character. "Tao is inherently inactive" and "the four elements are empty" allow him to find ideological freedom and detachment. ‘The country, the wind and the moon have no permanent master, and the idle one is the master. ’ I thought again, a gentleman is like water, and isn’t Su Shi the best proof that a gentleman is like water? It is precisely because of this that he has the determination and perseverance to "live his whole life in the mist and rain", and embraces the emotion of "there is no wind or rain".
When we encounter bottlenecks in our own lives, we must also learn from Su Shi, not forgetting our original intention, insisting on ourselves, and not following the crowd. A gentleman is poor, but this is proof that you are on the road! Life is like a journey against the odds, and I am also a traveler. Su Shi is my male idol, and I have become a ‘Su fan’
