What are some interesting things about Su Dongpo?

Be demoted to Huangzhou;

Su Shi, as an assistant envoy who should stay in Huangzhou forever, has a rather humble position and no real power, but at this time Su Shi has been disheartened after this campaign. After Su Shi took office, he was unhappy. He traveled to Chibi Mountain outside Huangzhou for many times, and wrote famous works such as "Red Cliff Fu", "Post-Red Cliff Fu" and "Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia" to express his thoughts and feelings in exile. In his spare time, he led his family to cultivate a sloping land in the east of the city to help make a living. The nickname "Dongpo lay man" was coined by Su Shi at this time.

Interesting things about Buddhist temples:

In Huangzhou, I often associate with Fo Yin Zen Master who presides over Jinshan Temple. One day, Su Shi wrote a poem, "Looking up to the sky, illuminating people, and sitting on a purple lotus without blowing the eight winds", which was dedicated to Fo Yin. The Zen master immediately approved the word "fart" and let the young people take it back. Dongpo was furious at this. He immediately crossed the river and asked the Zen master. The Zen master smiled and said, "Bachelor, bachelor, aren't you' the Eight Winds can't be blown'? Why cross the river with a fart? " "Eight winds can't be blown" can be found in the fifth volume of Buddhist scriptures and also in Hanshan's poems. Eight winds are Buddhist terms, which refer to eight winds: name, ridicule, extinction, fame, benefit, decline, bitterness and joy.
