However, in the political arena, Su Dongpo once worked as a bachelor of Hanlin, a bachelor of attendance, and a minister of rites, but after the ups and downs of his career, he was demoted many times and failed repeatedly.
It was this experience that made his artistic achievements. Deep thinking about life makes Su Dongpo hold a calm and open-minded attitude towards ups and downs, which is an optimistic and open-minded life realm.
Lin Yutang once wrote: Su Dongpo is a hopeless optimist, a great humanist, a friend of the people, a great writer, a great calligrapher, an innovative painter, an experimenter in brewing, an engineer, a hater of Puritans, a Buddhist in yoga, a great Confucian politician, the secretary of the emperor, Brewmaster, a kind judge and a political naysayer.
