Su Shi’s poem about taking a bath

Ru Meng Ling · How have scales ever accepted each other

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

How have scales ever accepted each other? Upon closer inspection, there is neither. Send a message to wipe people's backs, and you will spend all your time waving your elbows.

With light hands, light hands, a layman is originally innocent.

The main idea of ??the word:

When did water and dirt exist together? Looking carefully, it seems that there are both and there are neither. I said to the person who was rubbing my back, please keep rubbing your back today.

I just hope it can be gentler and gentler. There is no dirt on my body.

From the surface of the word, it is a song about taking a bath. On the surface, Su Dongpo's narrative is humorous, but in fact, if you read it carefully, it is full of profound implications. As we introduced above, the background of writing this poem was that Su Dongpo was a little excited when he knew that he had been re-employed by Emperor Shenzong and was about to be transferred to Ruzhou, so we can also read between the lines of the words Su Dongpo's cheerful mood at that time.

"Scale and scale have never tolerated each other. If you look carefully, there is nothing."

Water and scale cannot be together at all. In this sentence, Su Dongpo also alluded to: He has repeatedly He was demoted because he never collaborated with treacherous villains. The so-called "coming out of the mud but not stained, washing the clear ripples without being evil" refers to him. How could such a noble and upright person like him get involved with those slanderous villains? He would rather be demoted than live with it.
