He experienced eight demotions and eight relegations in his life, but he developed his character of being unfazed by favors and humiliations, open-minded and optimistic. Su Shi's poems, lyrics and prose have many immortal masterpieces in the history of literature. Among them, "Shui Diao Ge Tou" has been sung to this day. , has a history of nearly a thousand years. The poetry of this literary giant has a very high aesthetic value and level. His literary talent is free and easy, fresh and bold, and has a unique style. And this piece "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is very poetic and beautiful. It expresses the overwhelming nature of human emotions of homesickness and can arouse people's strong screams. It is known as a classic in the history of poetry. Su Shi's philosophical concepts have always been throughout his literary works, especially in "Red Cliff Ode". It reflects that after he suddenly realized the nothingness of life, the flow of world affairs, and the vagaries of change, he still chose to be optimistic, free and easy, and positive in the world, and he also had Taoist feelings. Everything is empty, everything is forgotten and otherworldly detachment. This seemingly contradictory quality in him. It gives him a unique flavor of fireworks and life, which can be reflected in his identity as a gourmet. Give it a unique personality. However, the pursuit and exploration of the meaning of life in the poem never stop. From the self-inquiry at the beginning of "When will the bright moon come?", the shortness and nothingness of life emerge spontaneously, which coincides with the philosophical question of existentialism. Where do people come from? Where to go? Where are you now? People can't help but think of Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions", the constant questioning of human beings, life, the world, nature, and the universe. Human beings have never stopped since ancient times. This problem does not seem to bother our great writer. He has already treated everything around him with a peaceful heart. Wen Yiduo wrote in his review: "The author not only highlights the 'unparalleled cosmic consciousness', but also abandons the 'astonishment in front of the magical eternity' mood." He does not treat the changes and development of nature completely detachedly, but strives to find the meaning of life of "entertaining oneself according to circumstances" from the laws of nature. Therefore, although this poem is basically a chant of autumn with lonely feelings, it does not lack the charm of "spring is born when touching the place" and leads people to upward.
