The life of this talent is extremely bumpy. He became famous at the age of 24 and has worked in Fengxiang, Hangzhou and Xuzhou. His heart is attached to the people, and wherever he goes, he has achieved fruitful results. Born in honesty and frankness, he always said, "Don't spit out a fly in your throat." .
As parents, they take people's happiness as their responsibility, and when they encounter bad politics and law, they will inevitably raise objections. In the final analysis, the villain is jealous and framed. He loves poetry, so he is famous, but he is also in trouble. The treacherous court official in the DPRK couldn't find anything wrong with Su Dongpo during his tenure, so he could only "dig" the crime of disobedience in his poems. If he wants to add another crime, he can find his own words. This is the famous Wutai Poetry Case, which was later sent to Huangzhou.
After the death of the emperor, the empress dowager was regent, recalled to the capital, was reused, and went straight to the prime minister. But he is not a politician, but he is at the center of the political vortex. Faced with the protracted impeachment, he felt extremely tired and took the initiative to resign from the local government. He went to Hangzhou, which he called his "second hometown", and began to build hospitals, repair Su Causeway and clean rivers.
Seeing that it rained heavily all day, he suggested preparing food in advance in case of famine. However, this has touched the interests of some people. This 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 only cherishes money for the court, not for your father and the people." This great poet can do nothing but sigh "Alas, the whole world!"! What can I do! " There is no other way.
After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, a fatuous 18-year-old emperor came to power, and some suppressed adulterers revived, returned to the ruling and opposition, and began to take drastic revenge. Most loyal ministers were classified as "Yuan You faction" and were demoted, even some dead veteran ministers survived, their official positions and titles were cut, and their descendants were suppressed. Zhang Dun even asked the emperor to dig coffins and whip corpses, taking history as a mirror. Fortunately, this time the emperor felt too much and didn't listen to slanderers.
Of course, Su Shi's brothers couldn't help it. Su Dongpo was first demoted to Huizhou, Guangdong, and found that he had a good life in Guangdong, so he was demoted to Hainan. At that time, Hainan was still abroad, and Su Dongpo was the only official sent abroad. At that time, he was over 60 years old. Hainan's climate is sultry and humid. He is short of clothes and food, and his life is very difficult.
Su Dongpo drifted all his life, sometimes for months. He has just arrived in a new city and has not had a rest. He received a new appointment and hurried 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. So he is not lonely, no matter how hard life is, he can also make wine and drink, and no matter how hard life is, he can also recite poems.
In the end, the fatuous Emperor Zhezong only lived to be 24 years old, and then his mother, Empress Dowager Cixi, was regent for several months, and all the old ministers in Yuan You were pardoned, so Su Dongpo had a chance to return to China. However, he fell ill 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 North Korea. 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 always benefit the people. He is just a poet who longs for freedom, an open-minded Taoist immortal and an innocent old man next door. He is also an indomitable soldier 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. I mentioned Wang Anshi in my textbook for several hours, and only remembered the concepts of "politician, Wang Anshi's political reform and young crops law". I didn't expect his influence to be so far-reaching. Wang Anshi is eccentric, unkempt and has poor self-care ability, but he is extremely self-centered in political views. Some people say that he is frank and sincere, completely honest, but willful. In order to carry out the New Deal, all opponents were dismissed and demoted. He doesn't want one side's utilitarian heart, just for the dream of a powerful country with a vast territory, no matter how much he pays.
The influence of Wang Anshi's political reform is mainly in two aspects. First, because of the high interest rate of the young crops law and the heavy pressure of various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees, the people have fallen into poverty. Some families are afraid to go back, some valleys are afraid to accept them, and even there are horrors of lying dead everywhere. Many years after Wang Anshi's death, people are still in dire straits. "They have only two ways to go: one is to starve in famine years; First, in a good year, I was imprisoned. " Second, when the New Deal was implemented, most people opposed it. The sage was dismissed, and Wang Anshi used many villains. Once the villain gains power, the consequences are very serious. Although it was once suppressed, "the mountain fire is still burning, and the spring breeze is blowing high." During the reign of Zhezong, 830 officials were framed and punished by them, and the radiation scope was wide and the degree was shameful and hateful. When Hui Zong was in power, Wang Anshi's New Deal was still being carried out. The exiled sages, loyal ministers and veteran ministers were all dead. The emperor was fatuous, the villain was in power, and the people suffered and no one sympathized. Until the end, the Song Dynasty was doomed. Is Wang Anshi a sinner in the Song Dynasty?
I think Su Dongpo and Wang Anshi are famous all over the world, but their significance to the country, the people and the history is quite different.
The Biography of Su Dongpo is a very rich book. The author Lin Yutang 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 of 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 are vivid and fascinating, which is really a great enjoyment to read.
After reading Lin Yutang's Biography of Su Dongpo, I feel that I like Dongpo's poems best, especially the divination operator. It says, "When the moon is short, people should be quiet first", and I especially love Ding Feng. It says, "This peaceful place is my hometown", and I can feel the loneliness of "who sees you alone" and understand the relief of "no rain, no sunshine". There has always been a saying in my heart that "bamboo shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?" I will spend my life in misty rain. "In a word, what a good sentence!
Reading this book today, pursuing the life track of such a talented person with profound thoughts and broad mind, brings me all the joy of mind and enlightenment of thought. It coincides with the solstice winter, so to speak-the happiness of winter comes quietly.
Lin Yutang, who is well versed in Chinese and western cultures, tells the story of a great writer, politician, painter and calligrapher with a clever pen. At the same time, it also clearly presents Su Dongpo, who is distinctive, versatile, full-featured, respectable and lovely. In Lin Yutang's eyes, he is an optimist whose nature cannot be changed, a moralist who is considerate of others, a good friend of the common people, an essayist, a new painter, a great calligrapher, an experimenter in brewing, an engineer, a hypocritical opponent, a yoga practitioner, a Buddhist, a scholar-bureaucrat, an emperor's secretary, a drinker.
Lin Yutang said that Su Dongpo's noble spirit in this life was exhausted. A person's life is also the life of the soul. This kind of power forms a person's occupational character. This kind of character is innate and is manifested through life experiences. As Su Dongpo said in Chaozhou Hanwen Temple Monument, "(Haoran Qi) does not follow the shape, does not rely on strength, does not wait for life, and does not die." Therefore, the sky is a star, the earth is a river prison, the secluded is a ghost, and the bright is a person. This truth is normal, and there is no blame. ″
Although Su Dongpo had a rough life, I think he is extremely happy. Three women know him, understand him and love him deeply. Despite repeated blows, his optimism remains unchanged. He has a childlike heart, a bright heart, a happy heart and a clean heart, which I like very much.
Now read more Dongpo's poems, which is good.
