Su Shi, a poet, I think everyone will not be too strange. After all, his poems appear in the Chinese textbooks we study. Everyone will say a few words more or less. When will there be a bright moon? Ask heaven for wine. I don't want to read much about Bian Xiao here, but today I will give you a brief introduction of Su Shi. Su Shi (1037 65438+10.8-18.24), whose real names were Zi Zhan and He Zhong, was named Tieguan Taoist, Dongpo lay man, called Su Dongpo and Su Xian, Han nationality, Meishan, Meizhou (now Sichuan). Eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties? One, too? Song Sijia? One. What impressed me most about Su Shi was not his poems, but the interesting stories between him and his friend Fo Yin. Su Shi was demoted five times in his life, and this interesting thing happened when he was demoted to Huangzhou. Su Dongpo lived in Huangzhou for several years. One night, he and his good friend monk Fo Yin went boating on the Yangtze River. When Su Dongpo raised his glass, he suddenly pointed to the riverbank and smiled without a word. Fo Yin looked around and saw a yellow dog gnawing at a bone. He realized something and threw a fan engraved with Su Dongpo's poems into the water. The two men looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. It turns out that this is a dumb couplet. Su Dongpo's first couplet is: Dogs gnaw at the bones (monks) in the river. Fo Yin's bottom line is: Liu Shui Dongpo's body (Dongpo's poems). This incident showed me that Su Shi, a great poet, was as handsome as a normal person when he was joking with his friends. Su Shi's literary achievements are extremely high. He has made great achievements in literature and poetry, and can be regarded as the representative of the highest literary achievement in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Su Shi's creative activities are not limited to literature. He has made outstanding achievements in calligraphy, painting and other fields, and also made contributions in medicine, cooking, water conservancy and other skills. Su Shi is a typical representative of the cultural spirit in Song Dynasty. From the perspective of literary history, Su Shi's attitude towards life has become a paradigm admired by later scholars: advancing and retreating freely, not being shocked by humiliation. Because Su Shi integrated the two attitudes of feudal scholars on the same value scale, he was able to keep calm and go all out.
Compared with Su Shi's literary glory, his political career can only be described as ups and downs. He worked in Beijing three times in his life, left Beijing three times and was demoted five times. Su Shi's political career was ups and downs all his life, and being framed was an important reason for his relegation. However, people have the opportunity to frame him because of his poetry and prose works, because he always stubbornly expressed his dissatisfaction and opposition to politics at that time in his works. Even so, he is not afraid, does not give in, does not stop doing things, never follows the trend, and never goes with the flow. It is precisely because of such ups and downs that Su Dongpo, a unique writer, was created.
