Dongpo of Su Song
I mourn the clams in the basket and keep my mouth shut to protect the residual juice;
I also mourn the fish in the net, and my mouth is slightly wet.
Licking intestines is very painful, I can't eat too much;
It's neither too cold nor too hot to meet each other late, but it's most urgent to persuade them.
Seeing Lu Huaishen, the steamer is like a steamed duck;
Everyone sitting in the room laughed, but suddenly he used his strength.
See Wang Wuzi, every knife is red;
Steamed dolphins are packed in glassware, and some are milky white.
Poor and shabby, full of sadness;
Although Wu Zixu was luxurious, he was sobbing before he died.
Mr. Wan, protect this ant;
Every year is like a dream, and a hundred years old is really a passer-by.
You didn't waste this article. Yan made up Du Ji.
Su Dongpo, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, is not only excellent in poetry and songs, but also excellent in calligraphy and painting. His research and hobbies on food are well known. He wrote countless poems, such as Fu on Vegetable Soup, Poem on Eating Pork, Pork with Bean and Pork, and the famous Fu on Old Chan, to reflect his keen interest in cooking and rich experience in tasting delicious food. However, in the Wutai poetry case, on the other hand, making friends with simple farmers and fishermen and taking nature as home, Su Dongpo's mentality has changed and he has a deeper understanding of life. In the diet, large animals such as pigs and sheep are gradually never killed, and even chickens, ducks, crabs and clams are forbidden to kill. Someone gave him crabs and clams and he threw them back into the river. Although he knew that the clam could not be resurrected, he did it. He doesn't hate that he can't forget his taste and can't eat vegetarian food, so he has to "encourage" himself to eat only "dead things" and not kill for his stomach.
When Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou, he went to the pavilion to visit his good friend Chen Nian (word Jichang). On the way, he remembered that when he went the year before last, the Chen family killed chickens and ducks and entertained him with wine and food. Su Dongpo could not bear to repeat the cruelty of killing people in order to keep his appetite, so when he saw Chen Nian, he first declared that he would never kill people for him. Later, I wrote this poem "I mourn for the mussels in the basket" (that is, five songs and two songs in seven courts) and sent it to seven courts to persuade Yao Chen to give up killing. After reading this poem, Chen Nian not only accepted the advice, but even Chen Nian's neighbors read this poem and said, "I cried too hard before I died." Under this influence, many people stop eating meat.
Fish clams are small, but they all have feelings. When they are cooked, they are also painful and fearful.

Characters and allusions
1, Lu Huaishen (? —7 16), born in Lingchang, Huazhou (now southwest of hua county, Henan Province), Wu Zetian was then the censor, later a counselor and an ancient scholar. Xuanzong became prime minister in the first year of Kaiyuan (7 13). Lu Huai knew that his talent was not as good as that of another prime minister, Yao Chong, so he avoided everything. During his tenure, his achievements were only in recommending and promoting talents. Three years later, he became prime minister and died. Lu Huaishen is an honest official. He has no savings at home, no curtains at the door, no meat in his diet, and his wife and children are hungry and poor. He was a relatively clean prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. When Lu Huai-shen's son, Lu Huan, was a satrap in Guangzhou, he was unmoved by the local treasures, honest and clean, and was also praised by people at that time.
Lu Huaishen is honest and thrifty, and does not run industry. There are no luxurious decorations made of gold and jade on clothes and utensils. Although he has a prominent position, his wife and children are still hungry and cold. The wages and gifts I got were given to my relatives and friends without hesitation, and they were given away for nothing, and soon dispersed. When I went to Du Dong to preside over the election, I only brought a cloth bag. Song Taizu and Lu Cong want to visit after their illness. When they saw that the mat was thin and broken, and there was no curtain hanging on the door, it happened to be windy and rainy, so they lifted it to cover it. It is getting late. There are only two pots of steamed beans and several bowls of vegetables.
When he left, Lu Huaishen shook hands with them and said, "Your master is eager to realize the great rule of the world. However, he has been in office for a long time and is a little tired of diligence. I am afraid that people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to be appointed. Remember these words! At the time of mourning, there was no savings left at home. At that time, Xuanzong was going to Du Dong, and Zhang Xing, a doctor from the Fourth University, said, "Lu Huaishen is loyal, honest and upright. He can't persuade people to do good deeds without paying him well. "So he gave his family one hundred pieces of cloth and two hundred stones of millet. After Xuanzong, he traveled to and from the capital and hunted between Hubei and Du. He saw that the wall of Lu Huaishen's house was simple and low, and the family wanted to do something, so he sent envoys to inquire. The envoy came back and reported that it was a sacrifice to Daxiang twenty-five months after Lu Huaishen's death. Xuanzong rewarded fine silk and stopped hunting. After Lu Huaishen's tomb, the stone tablet has not yet been erected. Xuanzong stopped to watch, tears streaming down his face. The imperial edict ordered the imperial court to erect a monument for him, and asked Su, assistant minister of Zhongshu, to draft the inscription, which Xuanzong personally wrote.
2. "A steamer is like a steamed duck" is an allusion. According to Lu Zaji in Taiping Guangji: "Zheng Yuqing and others want to eat, the sun rises, and all the guests are noisy. Shout left and right, saying,' rotten steamed wool, don't crookneck.' Everyone cares about each other and thinks that they will steam geese and ducks. After eating for a long time, everyone has a bowl of corn rice and a rotten steamed gourd. The food in Qing Yu is beautiful, so people are better than others. "This person is Zheng Yuqing, dongpo remember wrong. Therefore, "if you don't see Lu Huaishen, the steamer is like a steamed duck. All the guests laughed, but suddenly they made a scene. 」
3. Wang Wuzi: A native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he often boasted about his wealth with extremely rich Shi Chong.
"Shi Shuo Xin Yu": Emperor Wu tasted Wang Wuzi's home, and Wuzi offered food and used glazed utensils. Maids/kloc-more than 0/00, all good? (Luo Yi) Eat and drink with your hands. The finless porpoise is delicious and delicious, and its taste is different from usual. The emperor asked me about it. Answer: "It is unfair to drink dolphins with human milk", so he left before he finished eating. What Wang Heshi doesn't know is that.
