Interpretation: I have eaten cold food three times since I came to Huangzhou. Cherish spring, want to keep spring, and manage spring from self-management to no one regrets. This year also suffered from continuous rain, for two months, the climate was bleak as autumn. Sniff begonia flowers and swallow branches of snow. Sneaking around in the middle of the night is really something. He Shu's sick teenager had a white start.
The riverside is surging, as if to rush into the portal, and the fierce attack of heavy rain seems not bad. The hut is like a fishing boat, in a misty water cloud. The empty kitchen is cooking some cold dishes, and damp reeds are burning at the bottom of the stove. I didn't know it was a cold food, but I saw crows burning the remaining paper money. The emperor's palace gate has nine floors, which are far-reaching and difficult to return. The tombs of ancestors in the distance cannot be mourned. I just want to imitate Ruan Ji and cry out in despair, but I am disheartened and unwilling to rekindle.
The gloomy images such as hut, empty bag, black paper and grave in the poem render a gloomy and sad artistic conception. It expresses the gloomy and boring mood of the author living in Huangzhou. From the article "Cooking cold dishes in the air and burning reeds in the kitchen", we can imagine his embarrassing life. These two poems are one of Su Shi's more than 3,000 poems, but they are not his masterpieces. However, when the author uses another art form-calligraphy to express it, the sad artistic conception brewed by colorful and meaningful calligraphy images makes Huangzhou cold food poems become masterpieces through the ages.
Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Post presents a dynamic trend with ups and downs. Poetry is desolate and melancholy, and calligraphy is produced in this mood and situation. Throughout the ups and downs, rapid and steady, incisively and vividly, in one go. Su Shi put the changes of artistic conception and emotion in his poems in the changes of stippling lines, either before or after, changing and changing, breaking with the trend, and being natural. Its words are also strange, big or small, sparse or dense, light or heavy, wide or narrow, uneven, arbitrary and strange, and varied. No wonder Huang Tingjian bowed his head and sighed, "Dongpo's poems are like Li Taibai, but I'm afraid they are too white and everywhere. This book was also written by Yan, Yang and Li Xitai. Trying to get Dongpo to return to it may not be the case. " (Postscript of Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry) Dong Qichang also has a postscript praising the cloud: "I have seen Mr. Dongpo's original volume of more than 30 volumes in my life, and I must regard this as a good view."
