Which version is Su Dongpo's biography good?

Zhang Zhenyu is a professor at Taiwan Province Provincial University. He is the translator of Lin Yutang's Biography of Su Dongpo (originally in English). To be fair, Lin Yutang's biography is dominated by Su Dongpo's gods, with hundreds of thousands of words. Because it introduces China's traditional culture to foreign readers, it is inevitably too artistic. However, Li's biography of Dongpo mostly narrates his life with Su Dongpo's articles and poems, with little personal subjective opinions and opinions, which is more real, has a stronger sense of history and academics, and also fully restores Su Dongpo's life.

Professor Li, a famous researcher of Su Dongpo in Taiwan Province Province, completed an epic masterpiece "Biography of Su Dongpo" in eight years, with 600,000 words, elegant dictionary, novel and sharp views, detailed textual research and quotations, and hundreds of references. Different from Lin Yutang's biography of Su Dongpo, which introduces Dongpo's temperament and art, this book shows Su Dongpo's life in a more three-dimensional and comprehensive way, which can be described as a unique history of the Northern Song Dynasty. ?

Nine times out of ten, this book is based on Dongpo's poems and other documents, and outlines his extraordinary life experience. With the poet's rare life experience and his hard work, a living Su Dongpo stands out.

Excerpts are discussed as follows:

-Literati have never been suitable for politics. Politicians put practical interests first, literati only play with their own ideals, and officials should bind everything with traditional norms; Scholars, on the other hand, attach importance to the consideration of free will and despise regulations. Sue's personality is very strong, and she is not suitable for politics, especially for practical government affairs with the highest technical requirements for aides, such as being in charge of the Chinese book province, where there are flaws.

-Su Shi is a man of great literati temperament, but bureaucrats and literati are two fundamentally different figures. Bureaucrats attach importance to interests, while literati indulge in imagination; Politics cannot be separated from politics, and it needs to be objective and calm, while the enthusiasm of literati needs to be vented. Bureaucrats are bound to look down on literati, so Herry Liu, the leader of the Master School, once warned his children that a scholar should put his knowledge of apparatus first, and the champion is not satisfied.

-people have to do something before they do something. This is the character that a free man must have. Being with someone who is too worldly

Different, Su Dongpo does not pursue wealth, does not care about worldly honor and disgrace, and only insists on his own values and spiritual freedom. Be true to yourself

People who have their own ideas refuse to agree with others, so that they can "pick up all the cold branches and refuse to live." In Nuo Nuo's voice, they have the courage to "go on, even though there are thousands of people".

Yu commented on Li's Biography of Su Dongpo: "It is an elegant academic work with a dictionary, which generally makes Su Shi come from pottery life with poetry, and the author's summary is very insightful."

Personal opinion: academic masterpiece?

Reading opinion: First look at Li's Biography of Su Dongpo, which is a positive solution to Su Dongpo, and then look at Lin Yutang's Biography of Su Dongpo, which is Lin Yutang's personal view and understanding of Su Dongpo, thus distinguishing the real Su Dongpo from Su Dongpo in the eyes of famous artists, intellectuals and the world.

Su Shi's Qin Poems

If the piano is hair, why don't you put it in the box? ?

If the piano sounds from your hands, why can't you hear the sound?

Translation:

If the sound comes from the piano, why can't the piano in the box make a sound?

If the sound of the piano comes from the fingers that play it, why not listen to it on the fingers?

System concept:

Therefore, the piano is played on the fingers, which is subjective idealism; The piano makes sound on the piano, which is mechanical materialism. The sound of the piano comes from the piano, which is the objective condition for the piano to make sound; It also comes from the fingers playing the piano (the fingers obey the meaningful and musical mind), and the transfer of the mind by the fingers is the subjective condition for the piano to make a sound.

Piano and fingers are both indispensable for piano sound. This is not to say that the piano and fingers play an equal role in the sound of the piano. Under different conditions, their functions are different. Faced with the same objective things, people with high aesthetic cultivation are more likely to find their beautiful attributes and feel and communicate with them, thus producing beauty. Of course, the richer the aesthetic essence, attributes and conditions of objective things, the more they can be unified with people's minds and produce beauty.

It can be seen that piano sound is the unity of subjective and objective, and it is the induction and communication between subjective consciousness and objective things.
