Su Dongpo's detailed introduction

Su Dongpo and Su Shi were writers and painters in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was one of the eight masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and he was also called "Three Sus" with his father Su Xun and his brother Su. Su Dongpo not only adheres to the traditional etiquette in politics, but also has the ambition to reform the disadvantages, so his official career has ups and downs. His personality is heroic, and his poems are bold, fresh and vigorous, which created the unrestrained school. He is open-minded, and although calligraphy is learned from the ancients, it can create new ideas and be full of childlike interest. At the same time, he is good at painting and likes making strange stones. Su Dongpo claimed that there were three inferior things in his life, namely, drinking, playing chess and singing, but his poems, books and paintings were praised by later generations.

"Saint Zhuangzi daydreaming is bewitched by butterflies". Since Zhuangzi, "Life is like a dream" has been comprehensively interpreted by China literati. Scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties lamented that life was like the morning dew. In Tang Dynasty, Li Bai dreamt in the sky, Bai Juyi said that life was like a dream from the perspective of love, and Li Gongyou had a dream after Guan Hai sank. Where's Su Dongpo? Su Dongpo explores the mystery of life purely from his understanding of the meaning, form and existence of life.

Dreams are always associated with escape, helplessness and illusion, while Su Dongpo's Life as a Dream is an open-minded attitude, radical sentiment and positive experiment.

There is no doubt that Su Dongpo is a great scholar, but he is also deeply influenced by Buddhism and Taoism, but Su Dongpo is neither Buddhism nor Taoism. What he did was tolerant. Confucianism pays attention to joining the WTO, Buddhism advocates birth, and Taoism pursues seclusion. It's not surprising that Su Dongpo's thoughts of loving Tao, seclusion and being immune to evil have experienced ups and downs. The integration of Buddhism and Taoism philosophy and literati thought is the basic tendency of literati in Song Dynasty, and he experienced a kind of self-awakening, self-consciousness and self-esteem of literati. The yearning for Buddhism and Taoism in the Song Dynasty combined Buddhism and Taoism with literature and art, and the lifestyle was closer to Buddhism and Taoism. The most successful and natural is not Su Dongpo, who is elegant and chic, but Wang Anshi, who is rigorous and stubborn. If Wang Anshi worships Buddhism and Taoism and respects their moral integrity, integrity and lifestyle, Su Dongpo appreciates their detachment, ease and life form. These three sentences are a bit general, and can also tell Su Dongpo's attitude towards the three schools. In the changes of prosperity and adversity, in the interaction of entering WTO and being born, in the transformation of passion and illusion, and in the collision and agitation of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Su Dongpo has been integrated, integrated and unified, thus reaching a life realm full of interest, vitality, detachment and self-sufficiency

Su Dongpo's relationship with wine can best reflect his temperament. Dongpo loves wine, and the taste of wine in the poem is no less than that of Li Bai, but the capacity for drinking is really not as good as that of Li Bai. In the postscript of Donggaozi, he said, "I will drink all day, but only five times." If you can't finish drinking in the world, give it to the next person. But it tastes very satisfying. When you see a guest raise a glass and drink a lot, you will feel magnificent and elegant in your chest, and that kind of comfortable taste is beyond the reach of a guest. A day of idleness will not be without guests, and guests will not stop drinking. There is no good drink in the world. "Su Dongpo is not a shallow drinker who loves to drink and is not addicted to drinking? And he said, "I have never lived a day without guests." In Dongpo's eight poems, he said, "I am poor, but my third son lives alone. "He broke up with his colleagues in the old officialdom. One day, the third son who had no guests was Pan Bing, who opened a restaurant, Li Guo, who opened a pharmacy, and Gu Geng Road, who sold bamboo. Su Dongpo doesn't have to drink to drown his sorrows, and he doesn't have to be drunk. " "Guests are always drinking" is his etiquette hobby, which is even more wonderful for his leisure time. Su Dongpo later went to Hainan and brewed wine for his own use, so he named it "Yizhen Wine". Wine is a truth. Isn't Su Dongpo also a "truth" in the world? Su Dongpo couldn't help but understand the mystery, so he said in the poem "A Glass of Real Wine": "The world is really old. "

If Su Shi was "firm", his career would not be so bumpy. When Wang Anshi was in power, if he was "firm" and slightly attached, he would use it, but he didn't "laugh at you, good officials must do it for me" like Deng Wan and was expelled from the DPRK. When Sima Guang was in power, if he stood firm, he would not be falsely accused of being the second Wang Anshi and then expelled. As a result, three quarters of his 40-year career was spent in the whirlpool of political reform struggle. What we can see from his wandering life of "walking in Wan Li for half a day" is a self-persistence with no regrets, and a courage to give up the basics and the end. Isn't this fearless courage admirable? !
