This talented person has a very bumpy life. At the age of 24, he gained fame and worked in Fengxiang, Hangzhou, Xuzhou and other places. His heart is attached to the people, and wherever he goes, he has made great achievements. Born in honest and frank, he always says, "If a fly is in the throat, you can't spit it out.".
As a parent, they regard the happiness of the common people as their own duty, and when they encounter bad political laws, they are bound to raise objections. After all, the villain was jealous and framed. He loves poetry, so he is famous, but he is also in trouble. The treacherous court official in the DPRK could not find out what was wrong with Su Dongpo during his tenure, so he could only "dig" the crime of disobedience in his poems. If he wanted to add more crimes, he could find his own words. This was the famous "Wutai Poetry Case" and was later sent to Huangzhou.
after the death of the emperor, the empress dowager was regent, was summoned back to the capital, and was reused, all the way up to the prime minister. But he is not a politician, but he is in the center of the political whirlpool. Faced with the long-standing impeachment, he feels extremely tired and voluntarily resigns to the local government. He went to Hangzhou, which he called his "second hometown", and began to build hospitals, repair Su Causeway and clean up rivers.
Seeing the incessant rainstorm all day, he suggested preparing food in advance to prevent famine. However, this touched the interests of some people. The suggestion was not adopted, but it laid a curse for itself. After all, the disaster came as scheduled, and in many areas, half of the people died. "My humble opinion is that I only cherish money for the imperial court, not for your father and people." The great poet, in addition to sigh "alas, the whole world, helpless! What can I do? " There is no other way.
After the death of the Empress Dowager, an 18-year-old fatuous emperor came to power, and some suppressed traitors revived, returned to the ruling and opposition parties, and began to take big revenge. Most loyal ministers were classified as "Yuanyou School" and were demoted, even some old ministers who died were spared, and their officials and titles were reduced to suppress their descendants. Zhang Dun even invited the emperor to dig coffins and whip Sima Guang's body, and destroyed his History as a Mirror. Fortunately, this time the emperor thought it was too much and did not listen to the slanderers.
Of course, Su Shi's brothers can't help it. Su Dongpo was first relegated to Huizhou, Guangdong, and found that he lived well in Guangdong, and was exiled to Hainan. Hainan was still abroad at that time, and Su Dongpo was the only official sent abroad. At that time, he was over 6 years old. The climate in Hainan was sultry and humid, and he was short of clothes and food, and his life was very difficult.
Su Dongpo has been wandering all his life. Sometimes, he has just arrived in a new city after a few months' hard work. He has not rested yet and received a new appointment. He hurried on his way to the next distribution place. Fortunately, his talent and personality are greatly admired by the world. Wherever he goes, there are always some good people to help him, and there are always some literati confidants to accompany him. Therefore, he is not lonely, no matter how hard his life is, he can also make wine and drink, and no matter how hard his life is, he can also sing poems.
At last, the fatuous Emperor Zhezong only lived to be 24 years old, and then his mother, the Empress Dowager, was regent for several months, so that the old ministers of Yuanyou were pardoned and Su Dongpo had a chance to return to the mainland. However, he got sick on his way back to the north and just returned to Changzhou, which ended his wandering but colorful life.
Su Dongpo spent most of his life as an official in the DPRK. Although he has the foresight of a politician, he is not a politician, because he has no intention of intrigue and political struggle, and he has no desire to dominate the world. He is just a parent who is dedicated to the people. He just wants to make profits for the people all the time. He is just a poet who longs for freedom, an open-minded Taoist immortal, and an old man next door who is innocent. He is also an indomitable fighter and an upright hero. He is a great man of that era and the pride of our nation!
When it comes to Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi can't be avoided. When I mentioned Wang Anshi in the textbook for hours, I only remembered the concepts of "politician, Wang Anshi's political reform and young crops law". I never thought that his influence was so "far-reaching". Wang Anshi is an eccentric, slovenly, and has poor self-care ability, but he is extremely self-centered in political views. Some people say that he is frank and sincere, totally honest, but headstrong. In order to carry out the New Deal, all opponents were dismissed and relegated. He didn't want the utilitarian heart of one side, just for the dream of a powerful country with a vast territory, no matter how much he paid.
The influence of Wang Anshi's political reform is mainly in two aspects. First, because of the high interest rate of the young crops loan and the heavy pressure of various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees, the people are in poverty. Some families dare not go back, some valleys dare not accept them, and even the horror of lying dead everywhere appears. Many years after Wang Anshi's death, the people are still in dire straits. "They have only two ways to go: one is to starve in a bad year; "First, in a good year, he was jailed." Second, when the New Deal was carried out, most people opposed it. When the sage was dismissed, Wang Anshi used many villains. Once the villain is in power, the consequences are very serious. Although once suppressed, "wildfire never quite consumes them they are tall once more in the spring wind" was framed by them to punish 83 officials during the reign of Emperor Zhezong, with a wide range of radiation and a shameful and hateful degree. During the reign of Emperor Huizong, Wang Anshi's New Deal was still being carried out, and the exiled virtuous and loyal officials, old and old, died, the emperor was fatuous, the villain was in power, and the people were suffering, and no one was sympathetic. Until the end, the Song Dynasty went to extinction. Is Wang Anshi a sinner in the Song Dynasty?
I think Su Dongpo and Wang Anshi are both world-famous, but their significance to the country, the people and the history is quite different.
The Biography of Su Dongpo is a very rich book. Lin Yutang, the author, made a detailed textual research on relevant materials, which is not only a personal biography of Su Dongpo, but also a comprehensive presentation of the history in the late Song Dynasty. The relationship between people and social background related to Su Dongpo is described in detail and analyzed thoroughly and profoundly. Moreover, the author's language is refined and beautiful, especially many scenery descriptions, which are vivid and fascinating, and it is really a great enjoyment to read.
