Mr. Lin Yutang described the ups and downs of such a great poet and literary master in his book The Biography of Su Dongpo. It is not a simple running account, but more like the inquiry and tribute of future generations to their predecessors, and it is the spiritual intersection of the two masters. With this kind of communication, the words in his works will be as colorful, emotional and authentic as the sharp pen of historians.
In fact, Dongpo himself is such a real and vivid person. I read the story of Fan Pang, a scholar of the Han Dynasty, who died heroically in his early years, before I dared to look up and ask my mother if she would like to be like Fan Pang. This is the first seed of true freedom buried in my heart during the naive period. Later, he embarked on a brilliant career. When his career was relatively smooth, his younger brother was demoted and moved away from home. He wrote it? What is life like everywhere? It should be like flying in snow. Fingers and claws were accidentally left in the snow. What did Hong Fei do? While comforting his younger brother, he devoted his real bird-like soul to sleepwalking among the stars.
Brilliant talent, aloof temperament, frankness and truthfulness. Under the temptation of power, the intrigue between the parties and the surging tide of the court will not give people the opportunity not to give in. Like a disaster? Wutai poetry case? Disaster arrival on the wall. With the dirty water spilled by officialdom and literary world, Dongpo embarrassedly and wearily embarked on a long road of exile. ? My heart is like ash, and my body is like not tying a boat; Ask your occupation, Huangzhou Huizhou Danzhou? . The great injustice dealt him a heavy blow, and at the same time made him soberly realize that negativity could neither change his innocence nor give him a reason to die calmly. It is better to try to adjust his mentality, even if he can't be willful, he can't muddle along. The world is big, where does Dongpo live? In the distant Huangzhou, a poem "Linjiang Xianzi" wrote:? The dragon hates that this body is not mine, so forget the camp. The night was calm and the lines were flat. Since then, this ship has passed away, and Jiang Hai spent the rest of his life. ? If he can do it again, he will be willing to escape the shackles and stop running for worldly fame and fortune. Politics is the stage for him to display his political talents, and he is eager to display his ambitions on this stage; But at the same time, politics is too muddy, once involved, it is difficult to get out. It is a seemingly calm place, but sometimes it even ruthlessly devours all one's ideals and sends him to a desolate place with no retreat. Such desolation gradually becomes warm, friendly and full of vitality in Dongpo's eyes. Seeing the warm, friendly and desolate Dongpo is the awakening Dongpo, returning to the real young man who was originally full of the heart of helping the world and serving the country.
All these make Su Dongpo undergo a whole transformation, grow up in the regeneration after death, and mature in the lonely hinterland. How can he be so free and easy? From where? East of the city doesn't beat young chickens? Arrive? This peace of mind is my hometown? Decades of time have smoothed the edges and corners of his body, but he can't extinguish the true feelings and free and easy flames in his heart. Plotting against unjust imprisonment and wandering, he never seems to care what benefits his words and thoughts can bring him; Being a son, a father, a husband, a friend and a minister, he just wants to follow his heart and be a real person all his life.
Social disasters are overwhelming, and cultural elites often bear the brunt. Ji Kang, who died because of a certain threat to Sima's ruling clique, is such a person. His Song Guangling III, which has been flowing over the execution ground for thousands of years, is the best witness. This kind of jealousy, which brought disaster, still exists now, but the character of literati, like poetry, matured too early and then began to wither, so that it is difficult to find its trace today. If today's literati can learn Dongpo's true and free-spirited and unyielding character, cultural prosperity may not lose its vitality and easily disappear without a trace.
Even if you are not a cultural elite, this free and easy life is indispensable for ordinary people. Nineteen ancient poems have a cloud:? If you are less than a hundred years old, you will always be worried about being a thousand years old. The days are short and the nights are long. Why not travel by candlelight? ? Life is not a hundred years, but people worry about things for a thousand years. Even if you can't eat, drink and be merry in time, as the poem says, you should? Candlelight night tour? Don't be too jealous, don't envy? Fairy Wang Ziqiao? You can ride a crane to heaven, keep an open-minded young and high-spirited heart, and face the ups and downs on the road ahead.
Just because of his ambition, his life was put in the storm, the years were lost on the road, and his fate was trapped in the party struggle. Su Dongpo's magnificent life has long since disappeared in history, and only his great personality shines brightly. In his book, Lin Yutang commented on Su Dongpo in this way: he is essentially Taoist and hates all deception and hypocrisy. His literary talent is beyond the reach of other literati and scholars, and there is no need to envy others at all; His greatness has reached the point of gentleness and gentleness. He is pure and sincere and never puts on airs. ? Even after years of ups and downs in the complicated sea of officials, where does Dongpo need such a complicated expression? I saw his sincere smile.
Comments: It will be an unattainable goal to understand the true history of Su Dongpo's biography. As the most proud work of the master of Chinese studies, this biography is exquisite and vivid, but more importantly, it shows Mr. Lin Yutang's own hope and admiration for Su Dongpo's almost perfect personality. This kind of undisguised affection is naturally felt by our equally emotional children. So in this article, there is such a pure comment: he just wants to follow his heart and be a real person all his life. Being able to read that free and easy and sincere is the most precious thing for a pair of clear eyes and a simple heart. (Peng Ling)
