The life of a poet
Su Shi 1037 10 was born in Yumei Meishan on October 8th. Su Shi's father, Su Xun, is what Saint Amethyst called "Su Laoquan". Su Xun worked hard, although he worked very late. In his later years, Su Shi recalled his childhood experience of studying with his father and felt that he was deeply influenced by his father. Of course, without Su Xun's hard study, Su Shi could not have received a good tutor since he was a child, not to mention that "learning the history of classics is a thousand words every day", and it is even more impossible to achieve literary achievements in the future.
1056 (the first year of Jiayou), 2 1 year-old Su Shi left Sichuan for Beijing for the first time to take the imperial examination of the imperial court. The following year, he took the examination of the Ministry of Rites and won the appreciation of the examiner Ouyang Xiu with an article on loyalty to punishment, but Ouyang Xiu mistakenly thought it was his disciple Ceng Gong. In order to avoid suspicion, he had to come second.
106 1 year (in the sixth year of Jiayou), Su Shi took the Chinese secondary school exam, which is usually called "three-year Beijing Examination", and got the third class of "the first in a hundred years", and was awarded the position of judge and book signing in Fengxiang Prefecture, Dali. His mother died in her hometown and returned to North Korea on 1069 (the second year of Xining), where she still holds her post. Many of Su Shi's teachers and friends, including Ouyang Xiu, who admired him at the beginning, were forced to leave Beijing because they opposed the new law and disagreed with the political views of the new prime minister Wang Anshi. The old rain in the ruling and opposition parties faded away, and what Su Shi saw in his eyes was no longer the "peaceful and prosperous times" he saw at the age of twenty.
1079 (the second year of Yuanfeng), less than three months after Su Shi arrived in Huzhou, he was imprisoned on the charge of writing poems to satirize the new law, which was known as Wutai Poetry Case.
Su Shi was imprisoned 103 days and was on the verge of beheading several times. Thanks to the national policy of not killing scholar-officials in Zhao Kuangyin during the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi was spared.
In the seventh year of Yuanfeng (1084), Su Shi left Huangzhou and was stationed in Ruzhou. Due to the long distance and tiring journey, Su Shi's children died unfortunately. Ruzhou is far away, and all the tolls have been used up. Coupled with the pain of losing his son, Su Shi wrote to the court, requesting not to go to Ruzhou for the time being, and to live in Changzhou first, and then was approved. When he was ready to return to Changzhou, Zongshen passed away. Changzhou area is criss-crossed with water networks and beautiful scenery. Living in Changzhou, he has no worries about hunger and cold, and he can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Moreover, he is far away from the political disputes in Beijing and can get along with his family and many friends day and night. So Su Dongpo finally chose Changzhou as his final destination.
When Zhezong ascended the throne, the empress dowager came to the imperial court to listen to politics in the name of Zhezong youth, Sima Guang was re-enabled, and the new party headed by Wang Anshi was suppressed. Su Shi returned to the post of assistant minister of the DPRK and went to Dengzhou (Penglai). Four months later, the doctor was recalled to North Korea. Mr. Scheeren was promoted to power, Mr. Scheeren was promoted to Zhongshu three months later, and soon he was promoted to imperial academy (the minister who drafted the imperial edict for the emperor, who had Taoist skills) and did not do it again.
Su Shi saw the emerging forces desperately suppressing the figures of Wang Anshi Group and abolishing the new law. He thought that his so-called old party and new party were just birds of a feather, and once again made suggestions to the emperor.
Enjoy 1
The first sentence of the poem "There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo". Looking across the sparse bamboo, several peach blossoms are swaying. Peach blossoms and bamboo are in contrast, red and green, and spring is particularly charming. Although this is just a simple sentence, it reveals a lot of information. First of all, the bamboo forest is sparse. If it's sunny, you won't see peach blossoms. Secondly, show the season and point out the word "early". Just after the cold spring, it is not the time for peach blossoms to bloom, but the infinite vitality and potential of spring have been revealed.
The second sentence of the poem, "Duck Prophet of Spring River Plumbing", has a vision from far to near, that is, from the river bank to the river surface. Spring water is rippling on the river, and active ducks are playing on the river. The silhouette of "Duck Prophet" shows that the spring water is still slightly chilly, so other animals are not sensitive to the arrival of spring, which echoes the peach blossom "three or two branches" in the first sentence and indicates the early spring season. This poetic sentence uses a Tang poem: Meng Jiao "What is the most prophetic? Xu Xucao struggled out "(after the spring rain), Du Mu (Xu Hun)," Pugen water warms the geese at the beginning, and the plum-diameter fragrant cold bees are unknown "(boat trips in early spring). Su Shi learned it from the past, not from the mud. The meaning of predecessors' poems, combined with their own observation and accumulation, melted into this quip. "A duck knows how to warm water", which appeals to emotion and imagination, is difficult to convey in the picture, but the poet expresses this point in his poems by putting himself in others' shoes. Ducks swimming freely in the river are the first to feel the temperature rise of the spring water, and the tactile impression of "warmth" complements the visual impression of the spring water in the picture. Ducks can "predict the heating of springs" because they live in water all the year round. As long as the river doesn't freeze, they always jump into the water to play. Therefore, it is these ducks, which are closely related to water, who are the first to know the water temperature changes in the Chunjiang River. This shows that you have to go through everything to have a true feeling. This poem not only reflects the poet's careful observation of nature, but also reflects the poet's philosophical thinking about life. Ducks know that the spring river is warm when they enter the water, which can be compared with "a leaf falls, and the world is autumn". It is reasonable to know each other.
There are three or four sentences in the poem: "Artemisia is full of reeds and short buds, which is the time when the puffer fish wants to go up." These two sentences are closely related to Early Spring. Artemisia selengensis and dwarf reed buds are yellow and green, gorgeous and charming, showing a scene of spring and prosperity. The puffer fish wants to go up, which makes use of the characteristic that puffer fish only go upstream when the spring river warms up, and further highlights the word "spring". This is something that is not in the picture, and it is difficult to reach with a brush, but the poet successfully "looks like the present" and injects the breath and vitality of spring into the whole picture. Zhang Lei, a student of Su Shi, also recorded in Ming Dow magazine that the Yangtze natives eat puffer fish, but they cook it with Artemisia selengensis and bamboo shoots, that is, reed bracts and shepherd's purse, which they think are the best match with puffer fish. This shows that Su Shi's association is well-founded and natural. This is also the beauty of poetry. Although the picture does not describe the action of the puffer fish, the poet knows that "the puffer fish is eager to go up" from the crazy growth of Artemisia selengensis and the germination of reeds, thus drawing the image of dolphins going up along the river in the Chunjiang River, supplementing the reality with imaginary reality. It is through this kind of pen and ink that Su Shi transformed the silent and still picture into a lively poetic scene. In Su Shi's eyes, this painting is no longer a plane static picture on paper in the frame, but gives people a profound experience and subtle observation of ecology. The former is picturesque and the latter is realistic, and the two are confused. I don't know which is the picturesque scene and which is the real scene. The poet's artistic association broadens the world beyond the field of vision expressed by painting, and makes poetry and painting combine perfectly.
This poem successfully depicts the spring scenery in early spring. Su Shi, with his meticulous and keen feelings, captured the scenery characteristics when the seasons changed and expressed his joy and praise for the early spring. The whole poem is full of the breath and vitality of spring, giving people a fresh and comfortable feeling. Su Shi, a poet, put forward "Poetry and painting are of the same origin, striving for perfection, fresh and refined" (two branches of paintings in the main book of Yanling Wang in Shu) and "There are paintings in poems and poems in paintings" (Volume 5 of Dongpo's Inscription and Postscript, Clouds and Rain in Lantian, Ma Shu), which was well verified in his poem "Night View of the Spring River in Hui Chong".
Appreciate II
A good poem on painting should not only be tied to the theme of painting, but also be limited to the content of the picture. It should not only be able to reproduce painting, but also be able to jump out of painting and create new things, so that painting does not lose its independent artistic life. This poem can be said to have done this. The first three sentences of the poem are chanting the scenery, and the last sentence is the association caused by the scenery. The whole poem is like a poet's improvisation, and the image is wonderful and natural. In fact, the first three sentences are not exactly the same In the second sentence, the words "water heating" (temperature) and "duck prophet" (perception) cannot be drawn directly. Poetry can be described as picturesque, but the physical properties of poetry are too picturesque. This is because painting belongs to visual art, while poetry is a language art with absolute freedom of expression. The last sentence further develops the association, and on the basis of the objective description of the scenery in the first three sentences, it judges the seasonality of the scenery in the painting, thus adding a strong feeling of the beauty of the southern scenery, which is even more impossible for painting. Regarding the seasonal flavor of puffer fish, the poem "Fan Raozhou eats puffer fish" wrote: "Spring buds are born in spring, and poplars fly to the spring shore. When puffer fish, it is not expensive to count fish and shrimp. " "Poems on June 1st" said: "The puffer fish often swims in the water at dusk in spring, eating catkins and getting fat. Southerners often share soup with catkins, and the clouds are the most beautiful." In Ming Dow magazine, Su Shi's students also recorded that the Yangtze River aborigines ate puffer fish, but cooked with Artemisia selengensis, bamboo shoots (that is, reed buds) and shepherd's purse, and thought that these three kinds were the best match with puffer fish. This shows that Su Shi's association is well-founded and natural. This is also the beauty of poetry.
