Su Shi, 1037 10 was born in Meishan, Yumei, and is a descendant of Su Weidao, a minister in the early Tang Dynasty. He has the most striking characteristic of Capricorn, optimism. Mother, Mrs. Cheng, is a lady who knows books and is polite, and she is very strict with her teacher and Su Zhe. His father, Su Xun, returned to the prodigal son at the age of 27 to study hard and educate his children seriously. The two brothers grew up in a good family atmosphere. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, Su Shi laughed at himself and married Wang Fu, a talented woman who was not under Su Shi. She is gentle, virtuous and considerate, and gives her husband a lot of suitable advice. 1056, Su Xun left Sichuan with 20-year-old Su Shi and 17-year-old Su Zhe and went to Bianjing, now Kaifeng, to take the imperial examination. At that time, the article pursued rhetoric and was flashy. The style of writing is rampant, and the examiner Ouyang Xiu was very surprised when he read Su Shi's Theory of Rewarding Yong and Loyalty, and wanted to choose this candidate as the first. But at that time, clear lake was wise in the exam. Ouyang Xiu believes that this article was written by his student Ceng Gong. In order to avoid suspicion, he approved the candidate as a deputy. Later, I learned that it was written by Su Shi, which was a great grievance. My younger brother Su Zhe also got a good ranking, but Su Xun failed. Ouyang Xiu is very optimistic about Su Shi, lamenting that after 30 years, people will remember Su Shi instead of me. Soon, Su Shi became famous in Beijing literary world, and many dignitaries were his readers. Just as she was immersed in joy, she suddenly received the bad news of her mother's death and rushed back to her hometown in grief. At that time, the "Ding You" system stipulated that after the death of an official's immediate elder, he must temporarily resign from his official position and be filial at home for three years. The prime minister of the dynasty is no exception. 1059, when the mourning period of the two brothers expired, Su Xun moved to Beijing with his son and daughter-in-law and borrowed money to start a family. Why can't you afford it? It doesn't matter, just live a happy life. Soon after, Su Shi took part in an intelligence test that publicly commented on state affairs, and his intelligence strategy ranked third, ranking first in a century. Song Shenzong commented that he is a talented person and can be a prime minister. But Su Shi has never been a prime minister in his life. 106 1 year, he started his first job as a judge in Fengxiang district of Dali prefecture, equivalent to the director of the office of Yu Fengxiang Municipal People's Government. During his tenure, he was well received by the public. 1065, his 26-year-old wife Wang Fu died, which was a great blow to Su Shi, but three years later, he married Wang Fu's cousin Wang Runzhi, who was 1 1 year younger than him, and later gradually became his wife who accompanied him through difficult times. However, Su Shi always missed Wang Fu. Ten years later, on a quiet night, he wrote a mourning poem that was told through the ages. Ten years of life and death, two boundless, unforgettable, nowhere to talk, sincerely expressed his grief for his dead wife. Shortly after her late husband died, Su Xun died, and the two brothers returned to their hometown with the coffin. Three years of mourning (1069), Su Shi returned to Beijing. At this time, with the support of Zongshen, Wang Anshi's political reform began vigorously, and many officials who opposed the new law were forced to leave Beijing, including Ouyang Xiu who appreciated Su Shi. Honest and frank Su Shi wrote a letter about the shortcomings of the new law, which angered Wang Anshi and sent someone to report him to Zongshen. Su Shi accepted, so don't worry, I'll leave myself. So he applied for a post in Beijing and was sentenced to general punishment in Hangzhou, equivalent to the vice mayor of Hangzhou. 107 1 year, Su Shi came to Hangzhou with his family, and then spent a happy time in this beautiful Jiangnan water town. During this period, he wrote dozens of poems, the most famous of which is the poem "Drinking Rain on the Lake after Chu Qing". Among them, if the West Lake is compared to learning Chinese characters. Light makeup and heavy makeup have always been the comments of the West Lake, and Xizi Lake has also become another name for the West Lake. In Hangzhou, he accepted Wang as a servant girl who fell into the singing and dancing class. Six years later, 18-year-old Chaoyun was accepted as a concubine. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/074, he was transferred to Mizhou and Zhucheng, Shandong Province. Two years later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the officialdom was frustrated and he missed his family during the festival. He wrote down the tune of water, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs. This matter is old and difficult. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away. 1077, it was transferred to Xuzhou as well known. When the Yellow River burst and the flood surged, he personally led people to block the gap in the city wall and save Xuzhou City. 1079, he was transferred to Huzhou. As soon as he finished the inauguration formalities, he wrote a thank-you letter to Zongshen in Huzhou. Some of these words, such as being stupid and ill-timed, causing trouble when he is new here, or being able to support the king, were used by the new party, saying that he fooled the court. He was arrogant and said that he was unfaithful to the emperor and deserved to die. He also picked out sentences that they thought were ironic from Su Shi's poems. If he wants to aggravate the crime, he can find a solution. Soon after, Su Shi was arrested by Yushitai officials and taken to the capital, and dozens of people were implicated. This is the famous Wutai poetry case in the Northern Song Dynasty. This huge blow became a turning point in Su Shi's life, and the new parties tried to kill him one after another. Su Zhe tried his best to rescue his younger brother, petitioned to atone for his younger brother with his official position, and many people of insight also petitioned for him. Wang Anshi, who was retired at that time, also wrote, "Is it okay to kill people in a prosperous time?" Thanks to Song Taizu's national policy of not killing scholar-officials when he was in Zhao Kuangyin, with the joint efforts of all, Su Shi finally saved his life and was banished to Huangzhou Yingyong. In Huanggang, Hubei today, this position is quite low and has no authority. As soon as Su Shi arrived in Hangzhou, he wrote a self-deprecating poem, saying that I had been busy all my life and worked for a long time, which was ridiculous. The fish in Huangzhou is delicious. Seeing the bamboo forest is like smelling the fragrance of bamboo shoots. It seems that the identity of liking food can't be hidden, but he often Yimeng. After all, the gap in life is too big. In order to relieve his depression, he traveled around and wrote many famous works, which reached the peak of his artistic career. A big river in the east has gone to the waves, which is the heroic character of romantic figures throughout the ages. Life is like a dream, a statue is still in a trance, the lonely sandbar is cold and desolate, and there are also ten years of grief and indignation. Bamboo sandals are lighter than horses. Who is afraid of a misty rain, and life is detached? His best calligraphy and cold poems were also created during this period. He quickly adapted to the life in Huangzhou. When he was not working, he took his family to open up wasteland in the east of the city, earned some living expenses by farming, and named himself Dongpo lay man. There is one thing that makes Su Shi most happy. Pork is delicious and extremely cheap. If you don't eat expensive food, you can't understand it. When cooking it and writing pork, share your own experience tutorial. Burning Dongpo meat has become an appropriate food. This braised pork is cheap and delicious, and it's hard to love it or not. He couldn't sleep, so he ran to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin and found Huaimin still awake. Huai Min's expression at that time was probably melancholy. Huai Bin said, Ah, yes, yes, I am really convinced to have you. There was another interesting thing when I was in Huangzhou. Dongpo went to visit his friend Chen Jichang's house. They talked all night and didn't sleep. The wife at the airport pushed the door and dropped her cane. She looked dazed and at a loss. Dongpo gave his wife a nickname called Hedong Lion. 1084, 22-year-old Chao Yun gave birth to Su Shi's baby Sutton. When I am old, I have seen through life and only hope that my children will be safe. He wrote that he only hoped that the child would be honest and honest, that there would be no disaster and that it would not bring difficulties to the expectations of officials. This year, he was called to leave Huangzhou. Because of the long journey, it is sad that young children died unfortunately and lost their children when they were old. Later, he passed by Jinling and visited an old friend. Wang Anshi was once a political enemy and a benefactor who saved him in the Five Poems case. As soon as we met, we laughed and forgot our enmity, and right and wrong became a thing of the past. How can they not be moved? When breaking up, Wang Anshi. Sighed, I don't know how many hundred years later, there are such figures. 1085, young Song Zhezong succeeded to the throne, the empress dowager listened to politics, Sima Guang was reused, and the new school headed by Wang Anshi was suppressed. Empress Dowager Gao is Su Shi's scholar, and will soon promote Su Shi when she comes to power. Soon, Su Shi became a high official and obtained a bachelor's degree in Hanlin. He saw that the old guard totally denied the new law, and made suggestions, attacking the corruption after the old party came to power, which caused the conservative forces to target and frame it. The new party said he was a member of the old party, and the old party said he was the last of the new party. Such a thankless person on both sides is Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty. Su Shi said it was too difficult. Can't I go? So I applied for another transfer. By the way, Su Shi gave Sima Guang a nickname, a stubborn old school, Sima Niu, saying that he was as stubborn as an ox. 1089, Su Shi went to Hangzhou to be an official again. At that time, there was drought, plague and famine in Hangzhou, and he wrote to the court. Seeking to reduce public funds by 2,000 taels in Gong Mi, he took out 520 taels of his own gold to set up a ward to treat the sick people, and together with the prefect Sean, he led people to repair and dredge the six wells and Shen Gong wells in the West Lake, dredge the second Maoshan Bridge and build a long embankment on the West Lake. Hangzhou people named this long dike Su Gong Dike. After that, Su Shi lived a happy life in Hangzhou and compared himself to Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty. 109 1 year was recruited back to North Korea. Soon after, he was excluded because of political disagreement, 1092 was transferred to Yingzhou, Yangzhou, and 1093 was transferred to Dingzhou. This year, Empress Dowager Gao died, Zhezong came to power, the new party came to power again, and he was banished to Huizhou. Su Shi was used to demote officials, which is not a big problem. However, his second wife, Wang Runzhi, died of a rough journey. Su Shi dismissed morale and handmaids one after another. Only Wang refused to leave and insisted on going south with him. Three years later, the confidante Chaoyun died, and his writing was inappropriate. Only Chaoyun can know me, play ancient music alone and miss her more when it rains. After arriving in Huizhou, the living conditions are hard, and it can't stop the old foodies from looking for food. He developed the roast sheep spine, shared his own secret recipe, and wrote to his brother that it was like eating seafood, and found that litchi in Hainan was particularly delicious. He wrote that 300 lychees a day, he took great pains to be a Lingnan person. Water under the bridge. Let's eat first With exquisite roast lamb spine and lychee, the happiness of the dry rice man is as simple as that. It's hard to see Su Shi so happy. His political opponents tried their best to demote him to a more remote place, a desolate place, Danzhou, Hainan. Su Shi, who is 62 years old, was sent to Danzhou. It is said that in the Song Dynasty, banishing Hainan was only a lighter punishment than copying others. You can get anything you want in the middle of nowhere. He wrote about the geography writer of his time, Wan Li. Five townships in Li Zhen take this as their final destination. After arriving in Hainan, he lived a life without meat, medicine, house, friends, charcoal fire in winter and cold spring in summer. In short, nothing. Every night when she loses sleep, she misses Dongpo pork, Dongpo elbow and Dongpo fish. It was not until I ate the local oysters in Hainan that I found that it was delicious on earth and the food was on the line again. I also specifically told my son Su Shuchang that Hainan oysters are so delicious, don't tell the people in the imperial court for fear that they will rob me. Of course, Su Shi is not a difficult civil servant who only eats and drinks with public funds. After more than three years in Danzhou, I have made outstanding achievements, spreading the Central Plains civilization to the local people, guiding the indigenous people to open up wasteland, opening schools and spreading cultural knowledge. During Song Dynasty 100, no one ever entered Hainan as a scholar, but Su Shi was taken care of shortly after he returned to the north, and people always regarded him as a pioneer of Danzhou culture. He has great respect. 1 100, Song Huizong acceded to the throne. Once upon a time, every emperor was a courtier. He listened to the Queen Mother and decided to pardon all Yuan You and party member. All the demoted officials have returned to Beijing. Subsequently, the court issued an Amnesty order, and Su Shi was reinstated as a court official. He is brilliant and has a very good political record, but he lags far behind his younger brother Su Zhe in official career. The two brothers have deep feelings. In order to get him, my brother tried every means to find the prime minister, but he still couldn't help the unlucky brother who was targeted. Due to constant relegation and transfer, Su Shi worked in 14 counties all his life and almost traveled all over China, with rich life experience. His career is bumpy, and he always keeps a comfortable attitude, which may be related to his being Tao Yuanming. Su Shi is a loyal reader of Lao Tao, and has always yearned for an indifferent and plain life. 1 10 1 died in Changzhou on August 24th at the age of 66, and there is no Su Dongpo in the world. There are legends about him all over the world. Lin Yutang said that whenever Su Dongpo is mentioned in China, people always smile with admiration. Perhaps this sentence can best sum up everything about Su Dongpo. He has been shining all his life and wandering all his life. Is he an optimist whose nature cannot be changed, a moralist who shows sympathy for others, or a humorous lifestyle? Officialdom is targeted, either demoted or on the way to being demoted. But she is optimistic and open-minded. Even if the conditions are difficult, she can take pleasure in suffering, eat well and live seriously. I wonder how many people will envy such a chic and happy life?
