Reading Diary: Su Dongpo, Selected Works of Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties: Old people are no good, and they are good at profound poetry.

1097, 62-year-old Su Shi was demoted to Danzhou.

Su Zhe recorded Su Dongpo's life of being relegated to Danzhou in Zi Zhan and Tao Yuanming's Poems.

Mr Dongpo lived in exile, leaving his family behind and crossing the sea alone with his youngest son. Living in a thatched bamboo forest, I have tea and taro all day.

Dongpo, with his aging body, was trapped in a dangerous situation and humiliated. He lived in a bamboo house in a wild place and ate terrible food. ...

Zhang Dun, once a good friend and now a political enemy, is really cruel-he wants to trap this Danzhou city in Dongpo!

However, how can a great and detached soul like Dongpo be easily trapped? This natural optimist became transparent and relieved in a short time. He wrote in Children's Book:

? When I arrived in Hainan, I looked around at the boundless sea water and said sadly, "When can I get to this island?" I thought: heaven and earth are in stagnant water, Kyushu is in the vast sea, China is in the small sea, and people who are not on the island ... read this as a smile.

Being demoted to Danzhou, the humiliation and punishment second only to beheading, was dispelled by Dongpo. He soon regarded Danzhou as his second hometown, and laughed at himself and said, "I belong to Daner's family and live in West Shu", showing the demeanor of "Su Letian".

To paraphrase Dongpo: Should Danzhou be bad? But he said, this peaceful place is my hometown.

Dongpo, who felt at ease, began to read poetry again, preferring to read Tao Yuanming's poems. This preference may have come from Huangzhou: cultivating Dongpo and studying in Long Mu. In the most barren land, Dongpo experienced a higher taste of life and deeply read and understood Tao Yuanming.

Wan Li enlightened, after all, poetry and wine nostalgia. Now, in this land of Danzhou, the most dazzling writer in the history of China literature has turned himself into a die-hard fan of Tao Yuanming. Dongpo wrote to his brother Su Zhe:

? ? I'm just a poet. I'm only good at profound poetry. Yuan Ming wrote few poems, but his poems are rich and vivid, which are beyond the reach of Cao, Liu, Bao, Xie, Li and Du Fu.

Dongpo made no secret of his special liking for Tao Yuanming's poems. He put Tao Yuanming's poems above the great poets of past dynasties, and bluntly said that Li Bai and Du Fu were not as good as Yuan Ye Ming.

Poetry is common in the world, but it follows the ancients and began in Dongpo. During his stay in Danzhou, Dongpo pursued Tao Yuanming's poems, "hundreds of them before and after, until he was satisfied." The book Zi Zhan and Tao Yuanming's Poems was born.

Dongpo confessed that Tao Yuanming was even more affectionate: "I am convinced of Tao Yuanming and want to teach him." Translated into modern Chinese, that is: I am deeply impressed by you, and I want to learn from you, even if I only learn one tenth.

Love his poetry and its rhythm, obey its festivals and learn from its people. Dongpo, who is in his sixties, has turned himself into a fan of Tao Yuanming for more than 600 years. This fanaticism is no less than that of today's groupies.

Dongpo's fanaticism about idolization makes his friend Huang Tingjian a little jealous. However, he loves Dongpo and Yuan Ming. So he praised the two men in the postscript Zi Zhan and Shi Tao:

Zi Zhan landed in Lingnan and wanted to kill when he was ready.

Have a good meal in Huizhou and taste a delicate and profound poem.

Peng Zeqian is manned, Dongpo immortal.

Although the source is different, the taste is similar.

? Dongpo is far from Yuanming, hundreds of years away. However, the same charm, the same detachment, let Dongpo deeply understand this Wei and Jin scholar. Because I know, I admire! Because I know, I love it deeply!

There is nothing good in old age, only good poetry. In the distant Danzhou, at the dusk of life, Tao Yuanming's poems are like faint clouds on the horizon, giving Dongpo the most beautiful scenery and the warmest comfort!

Note: Today I read An Introduction to Zi Zhan Tao Yuanming's Poems.

Zi Zhan and Tao Yuanming's Poetry Citation

Su Zhe

Mr Dongpo lived in exile, leaving his family behind and crossing the sea alone with his youngest son. Living in a thatched bamboo house, the days are bleak, and the idea of a luxurious house and jade food does not exist in my mind. I have no hobbies in my life. I take history as my garden and articles as my propaganda. So far, I have stopped. I am happy to write a poem, profound and beautiful, without seeing the fatigue of the old man.

At this time, Zhe also moved to Haikang, and the book came to tell him: "All ancient poets imitated the ancients, but they did not imitate them." Tracing the past began in Dongpo. I'm just a poet. I'm only good at profound poetry. Yuan Ming wrote few poems, but his poems are rich and vivid, which are beyond the reach of Cao, Liu, Bao, Xie, Li and Du Fu. I wrote hundreds of poems before and after, proud of it, and ashamed of it. Today I collected it and recorded it, with my husband and my ambitious son. However, I know Yu Yuan very well. How can I learn his poems well? If he is a man, he really has feelings. When Yuan Ming died, he told Yan Yan and others. I am small and poor, and every time I am poor, I wander from east to west. Sex is just clumsy, there are too many things. If you measure yourself, you will suffer vulgarity. When you die, you will be hungry and cold. "Yuan Ming this language, record also. I really have this disease today, but I didn't know it earlier. I have been an official for half my life, and I am deeply impressed and want to teach at night. "

Hey, honey! Yuan Ming refused to see the villains in the village for five buckets of rice for a belt, but Zi Zhan was an official for more than 30 years and was trapped by prison officials, so he was in great trouble. He wanted to trust Yu Yuanming with Sang Yu's last scene. Who would believe him? Although Zi Zhan is an official, his advance and retreat can be tested. After a gentleman, he must be in the position of the son of heaven.

There are few tricks to learn without a teacher, and children look forward to learning. First of all, you can learn from the teacher. Zi Zhan's taste of quotations poems has the style of the ancients, thinking that it is not right. However, since he claimed to be Dongpo, his knowledge has improved day by day and he is as rich as Sichuan. His poems are more than those of Du Zimei and Li Taibai, so he is on a par with Yuan Ming. Although frogs suddenly follow, they often follow, and their harmony is profound, and the followers are also one or two.
