The whole poem is: loquat is ripe with golden beads, and mulberry tastes jade maggots for the first time. I'll borrow ten lotus flowers for the time being and pour five books on an empty stomach. Green floating egg bowl, Sophora japonica bud cake, red dot ice plate squid. Getting drunk and having a good sleep is the real career. I have good taste in my life.
This poem comes from the Complete Works of Su Shi, Volume 23. At the time of writing this poem, Su Shi was nearly 60 years old, and was demoted to the rank of deputy military envoy, living in Huizhou (now Huiyang, Guangdong). Su Shi galloped day and night and went all the way to the relegation center, which was warmly welcomed by the people in Lingnan. He took out the gold given by the emperor and donated it to dredging the West Lake to build a long embankment.
Su Shi (1037-1101) was a writer and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zi Zi Zhan, also known as Dasu, is called Dongpo layman. Meizhou Meishan (now Sichuan) people. Together with their father Su Xun and brother Su Zhe, they are called Su San. He is an all-rounder in literature and art, and his writing style is unrestrained and fluent. He is also known as Ou Su with Ouyang Xiu, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. His poems are fresh and vigorous, and he is good at using exaggerated metaphors. He has a unique style in artistic expression, and is called Su Huang with Huang Tingjian. Bold ci school has a great influence on later generations, and it is called Su Xin with Xin Qiji; Calligraphy is good at running script and regular script, and it can be innovative. Writing with a pen is ups and downs, full of childlike interest. And Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang are also called Song Sijia. Painting, like literature, I like to be a strange stone. On painting, I advocate similarity. He is the author of The Complete Works of Su Dongpo and Dongpo Yuefu.
