Write a composition combining Su Shi's poems.

1. Brush: Write a brush combining Su Shi's poems. There are 400 poets under three generations, who have never bent down, are far-sighted, beautiful and unique.

These four sons, without literary genius, have a self-sufficient personality through the ages. So there is no noble and great personality, and there are almost no noble and great articles.

-When I was a child, Wang Guowei read Su Shi's Title Xilin Wall and learned it by heart. His famous phrase "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain" is handy, but I don't quite understand the profound philosophy, just reading the strangeness and changefulness of Lushan Mountain. When I was a child, I saw Su Shi's Riverside Scenery in Hui Chong, and learned that the original poem can magically integrate painting, a completely different art form.

"The peach blossoms outside the bamboo are three or two, and the warm ducks by the river are prophets. Artemisia sphaerocephala has short reed buds all over the ground, which is the time for puffer fish to go up. "

It not only reproduces the image of Hui Chong, a famous monk in the early Song Dynasty, but also shows the feelings and things that pen and ink can't express, which makes people feel a warm breath and vitality, and perfectly combines painting with poetry. When I was a teenager, I read Su Shi's Drinking Chu Qingyu on the Lake, and understood that "the West Lake is better than the West Lake, and light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable". It is a wonderful pen to describe the beautiful scenery with stunning beauty. I sang repeatedly, secretly admired and applauded.

Later, I read "Jiangchengzi" and read that Su Shi and his wife were deeply in love; Read "Shui Diao Ge Tou", read Su Shi's deep affection for his younger brother, and his philosophical thinking beyond things; Reading Nian Nujiao and Su Shi's bold and unconstrained words is magnificent, unrestrained and broad-minded. Until now, I began to understand Su Shi's broad-minded attitude towards life when he was boating with his guests under the Red Cliff. I think he humorously joked with his student Qin Guan that "little people want more" ... Is it that the western Western jackdaw "refuses to be born after picking up all the cold branches"? Is it the walker who "let a misty rain last a lifetime, why not shout and walk slowly"? Is it a poet who sings River of No Return? Su Shi, who was praised by Song Shenzong as "just like Li Bai, who knows better than Li Bai", forgot all the frustrations after being relegated by the villain.

He cultivated land in Huangzhou to make wine, "drunk by drinking Dongpo at night", "leaning on a stick to listen to the sound of the river" in Huangzhou and writing "River of No Return" in Huangzhou. He is always so cold and calm.

He always puts all the pains and setbacks behind him and remembers the beauty of this world. Otherwise, how can you "cook Dongpo meat yourself" and how can you be broad-minded and heroic "300 lychees a day, even if you are a Lingnan person"? Su Shi, a once brilliant scholar, began to be down and out because of the Huangzhou poetry case, and was besieged on all sides.

On the moonlit night in Chibi, he was disheartened, looking at "the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains" and dreaming of his dancing crane. Faced with the frustration as deep as a river, he saw the wind whistling and circling at the top of the mountain, and then he crossed the dark thorn forest with the pain of tearing his body and cracking his bones.

In a flash, the lump in his heart and the twining pain went with the wind. Frustration, pain, only forgetting.

Su Shi-a genius in the cultural history of China, a rare generalist, a multi-level and all-round culture-not just literature-giant. Magical writing, profound knowledge, wise thinking, noble personality, rich life experience, great achievements in many aspects, and its never-ending humor can really be described as: only heroes are true and true celebrities.

In the cultural history of China, his name is a monument! This is a related fragment, you can combine it.

2. Brush: Write a brush in combination with Su Shi's poems. There are 400 poets under three generations, who are neither humble nor supercilious, far-sighted, beautiful and far-sighted. These four sons, without literary genius, have a self-sufficient personality through the ages. So there is no noble and great personality, and there are almost no noble and great articles. -Wang Guowei

When I was young, I read Su Shi's Xilin Wall Title, and I was familiar with it. The famous sentence "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain" is handy, but I don't quite understand the profound philosophy. I just saw the strangeness and diversity of Lushan Mountain.

When I was a child, I saw Su Shi's Riverside Scenery in Hui Chong, and learned that the original poem can magically integrate painting, a completely different art form. "The peach blossoms outside the bamboo are three or two, and the warm ducks by the river are prophets.

Until now, I began to understand Su Shi's broad-minded attitude towards life when he was boating with his guests under the Red Cliff. I have seen his humorous banter about his student Qin Guan's "Little People Have Various Needs" …

Is it the western Western jackdaw who "picks up all the cold branches and refuses to be born"? Is it the walker who "let a misty rain last a lifetime, why not shout and walk slowly"? Is it a poet who sings River of No Return? Su Shi, who was praised by Song Shenzong as "just like Li Bai, who knows better than Li Bai", forgot all the frustrations after being relegated by the villain.

3. There is an urgent need to write a composition related to Su Shi's poems, and the 800-word penetrating evaluation of Su Dongpo in the past dynasties:

Huang Tingjian: People say that Dongpo wrote this article because it is difficult to see coincidence, so it is extremely hard. I don't think so. He was older than the article, so he wrote. The article is wonderful in the world, and loyalty runs through the sun and the moon.

Su zhe: it is in people, calling it good, if it is not as good as fear; If you don't look well, you will be afraid; Do the right thing bravely, no matter how harmful it is. I am trapped in the world of this number, but I don't hate it.

Chao Wuxia: Su Dongpo's ci, people say there are many discordant rhythms. However, the vulgar words are outstanding, and naturally they can't draw in the song.

Zhao Shen: Sincere words and suggestions, a great festival in court, courtiers are second to none.

Huang Jinxiang: "Dongpo is a famous satellite that shines on the world."

Liu Chenweng: From Ci to Dongpo, they are all aboveboard. They like poetry, prose and wonders of heaven and earth.

Wang Shizhen: Since the Han and Wei Dynasties, many people have become famous for their poems for more than two thousand years. Only Cao Zijian, Li Taibai and Su Zizhan are immortal.

Wang Guowei: Compared with the Tang poetry, the Song poetry is as white as Dongpo, as rubbing parsley, and as happy as Qiqing, and Fang Hui is as reasonable as ten sons.

4. Write an article according to Su Shi's life. Brief introduction of Su Shi's life: "Aesthetic life and official life are two diametrically opposite attitudes towards life. Officialdom life and poet's nature are fundamentally incompatible: one is a masked politician, the other is a poet with pure heart, the other is hypocrisy that desperately needs officialdom entertainment, and the other must be sincere.

Su Shi's life is a typical aesthetic life, that is, it is his pleasure to immerse himself in literature and art and enjoy the hue, order, rhythm and harmony of the life universe. Today, I read the article "Su Shi's Aesthetic Life" written by my teacher, and got a better understanding of Su Shi.

We have been studying Su Shi's poems since primary school. At first, we just thought his poems were bold and uninformed, and we didn't know much about them. But after reading this article, I think there are too many things in it that we admire, his literary talent and his personality.

Below, I only give a brief introduction to Su Shi's poems: (1) Su Shi's life: Su Shi (1037 ~1year), whose word is profound and whose word is harmonious, was born in Meishan, Meizhou, Song Dynasty (now Meizhou, Sichuan). He, his father, Su Xun, and his younger brother, Su Zhe, are both famous literary figures, and they are called "Three Sus" in the world. It is the same as "Cao San and his son" (Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi) at the end of Han Dynasty.

Speaking of him, almost anyone with a little knowledge of literature knows it. His father, Su Xun, was the "Sue" mentioned in The Amethyst at the age of 27.

Su Xun got angry late, but he worked hard. 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 work, Su Shi would not have been able to get a good tutor since he was a child, let alone "learn the history of general classics, which belongs to thousands of words every day", let alone have a future literary master. In the first year of Jiayou (1056), 20-year-old Su Shi left Sichuan for Beijing for the first time to take the imperial examination.

The following year, he took the examination of the Ministry of Rites and won the appreciation of Ouyang Xiu, the examiner, with an article on punishment and loyalty, and became a scholar in high school. In the sixth year of Jiayou, Su Shi took the Chinese secondary school exam, which is usually called "three-year Beijing Examination", got the third grade, and signed a book for the judge in Dali.

Later, his father died in Bianjing, and Ding returned to his hometown. In the second year of Xining (1069), he returned to the DPRK after his term of office, and he was still appointed.

Su Shi has been away from Beijing for several years, and great changes have taken place in North Korea. After Zongshen ascended the throne, he appointed Wang Anshi to support the political reform.

Many of Su Shi's teachers and friends, including Ouyang Xiu, who admired him at the beginning, were forced to leave Beijing because they disagreed with the new country Wang Anshi's implementation of the new law. 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.

On his way back to Beijing, Su Shi saw the harm of the new law to ordinary people, so he disagreed with Prime Minister Wang Anshi and thought that the new law could not facilitate the people, so he wrote a letter of opposition. As a result, like his teachers and friends who were forced to leave Beijing, they were not allowed to stay in the court.

So Su Shi asked for his release and was transferred to Hangzhou to serve as a general. Su Shi stayed in Hangzhou for three years. After his term, he was transferred to Mizhou, Xuzhou, Huzhou and other places.

This lasted for about ten years, and Su Shi met the first disaster in his life. At that time, someone deliberately distorted his poems and made a big fuss.

In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi arrived in Huzhou for less than three months, and was arrested and imprisoned for writing poems to satirize the new law, which is known as Wutai Poetry Case. Su Shi was in prison 103 days, almost on the verge of being beheaded.

Thanks to the national policy of not killing ministers during Mao's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi escaped. After he was released from prison, Su Shi was demoted to Yong Lian of Huangzhou Regiment (equivalent to the vice captain of modern civil self-defense forces).

This position is quite humble, and at this time, Su Shi has been disheartened after this prison. In his spare time, he leads his family to reclaim wasteland and farms to help make a living. The nickname "Dongpo lay man" was given to him at this moment.

In the seventh year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong, Su Shi left Huangzhou for 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.

Zhezong ascended the throne, Wang Anshi's power declined, and Sima Guang was re-enabled as the phase. Su Shi was recalled to North Korea on 1920.

After that, in a short period of one or two years, Su Shi was promoted from the governor of Dengzhou to the bachelor of Hanlin and became the minister of the highest etiquette department. As the saying goes, "Beijing officials are not easy to be."

Su Shi saw the emerging forces desperately suppressing the figures of Wang Anshi Group and abolishing the new law. He thought that they were just birds of a feather with the so-called "Wang Dang" and once again offered advice and suggestions to the emperor. At this point, Su Shi could neither tolerate the new party nor forgive the old party, so he asked for another transfer.

As a bachelor of Longtuge, he went to Hangzhou as a prefect again after a long absence of 16 years. Su Shi's only achievement in Hangzhou is to build a major water conservancy project and a dam beside the West Lake, which is the famous "Su Causeway".

Su Shi lived happily in Hangzhou and compared himself to Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty. But not long after, Wang Anshi came to power again and he was recalled to North Korea.

But he was soon released to Yingzhou because of political disagreement. After that, Su Shi went to the DPRK several times, demoted officials, demoted officials, entered the DPRK ... and suffered the ups and downs of the official sea.

He was banished to Huizhou and Danzhou (now Hainan Island), and when Yuan Dynasty (11kloc-0/) was recalled to Beijing again, he died in Changzhou at the age of 66. Judging from Su Shi's resume, he was not successful as an official. His main advantage lies in his literary creation.

He was one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties and one of the four great calligraphers in Song Dynasty (Su, Huang, Mi and Cai). As far as the existing works of Su Shi are concerned, he is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs. In the talented Song Dynasty, he was a poet, a poet and a writer.

(2) Su Shi's outlook on life and aesthetics: Su Shi's diverse outlook on life and rich and complicated thoughts have had various influences on his literature. In recent years, researchers hold different views on this. For example, Pu Youjun's Beyond the Predicament: Su Shi in Hainan (Journal of Sichuan Normal University, No.3, 1992) holds that Su Shi's optimistic and open-minded lifestyle and aesthetic attitude enabled him to overcome all kinds of persecution and hardships in the remote and poor Danzhou, Hainan, and embark on the road of poetry creation and literary thought.

5. Write to Su Dongpo, how ridiculous your bumpy life is in the eyes of vulgar people. He honed a lot in officialdom, was forced into exile, and completed one poem after another in danger, leaving many legends to the world.

I can't help but have infinite respect for this great poet. The river of no return, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic figures "The river of no return, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic figures."

The magnificence of the Yangtze River is displayed in front of us, giving people a sense of grandeur. The surging river flows day and night. When the hero's mind faces such a scene, people have reverence for the heroes of the past.

You are moved by the beautiful scenery, facing the endless river and feeling the passing of history, just like river of no return, so you start to write this sentence and write "Niannujiao?" The magnificent poems of reminiscing about the past in Chibi. Just like you, your heroism enabled you to capture that little moment inadvertently.

How can modern people stay at home now? Where did it come from? Even if there is, it is only a flash in the pan, and it won't last long. People's temperament is like a surging sea, changing rapidly, sometimes sunny and sometimes gloomy, and reality is always so far away from ideal.

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has ups and downs. Heroic poets also have a life of "people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has ups and downs". When you are banished to Huangzhou, it is difficult for you to fall asleep in the moonlight at night.

But this moonlight is too rare. During the period of relegation to Huangzhou, idle officials did nothing and could not sign sales contracts, living in the world. It's refreshing to see the moonlight, but is there anyone to enjoy the moon with you now, so you have to go to Zhang Huaimin, which has been demoted to Huangzhou, with you. In this leisurely walk, there are many demeaning sorrows and sighs for life! This beautiful moonlight is the sorrow of the ancients.

How much melancholy, how much heroism, how much affection, how much sadness, beautiful life, the long river of history, are all in the long river of life. Your behavior will be praised forever.

6. Su Shi met more than 500 words in writing.

I know that Su Shi started with The River of No Return. Once upon a time, I was shocked by the majestic momentum he described and deeply attracted by his bold and unconstrained style.

Perilla's life is full of frustrations. In that dark age, the court was incompetent and the traitors were in power. However, Su Shi, who has read a lot about the history of Confucian classics, has the life belief of "working hard and thinking of the world", worrying about the country and the people, sticking to his own views on national affairs and never giving in to the dark forces. Don't blindly follow, don't be selfish, distinguish between black and white, always maintain a high sense of social responsibility, and lead an honest and clean life in the dirty officialdom. However, can this clear spring be contained in the dirty sewage flow? The sewage flow will only erode this clear spring. As a result, Su Shi, whose stomach is out of date, was doomed to a bumpy life under political struggle and power.

It's hard to imagine that after the sinister officialdom turmoil and bumpy life humiliation, Perilla can tolerate everything with a broad mind and discover the beauty of life with an optimistic and positive heart. What kind of mind and tolerance are needed!

After being demoted to Huangzhou, all his former friends left him, and the lonely Su Shi lived an inseparable life. "The lack of moon hangs phoenix trees, which makes people quiet at first. Who saw you alone, Hong Ying. At night, it suddenly becomes afraid, suddenly flies and comes back frequently, but no one always understands its infinite inner feelings. Picking up all the cold branches is not willing to live, and the lonely sandbar is cold. " . In ci, perilla is a metaphor for loneliness, and its desolation is unspeakable. Today, I can still feel the indescribable loneliness in Perilla's heart after reading this song Operator. Political frustration, the indifference of old friends, and endless loneliness came to him. Is it really "lonely sages since ancient times"? Perilla heart pain can be imagined.

In Su Shi's bumpy life, he experienced ups and downs, and was exiled to Lingnan for the farthest time, leading a hard life with the Li people.

The greatness of great men lies in their noble personality and their firm and optimistic attitude towards life under difficult circumstances. Su Shi, who felt helpless about life, studied the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi and sought spiritual detachment through Buddhism and Zen metaphysics. "What kind of life is everywhere? It should be like flying in the snow, occasionally leaving fingers and claws on the mud and flying back and forth ... "Perilla's ci seems simple and easy to understand, but it contains profound philosophy behind it, giving people endless thinking and enlightenment. In perilla's eyes, the world is just a passing thing, and she can be clean all her life.

What I appreciate most is his song Ding Fengbo, "Why not sing and walk slowly if you don't listen to the sound of leaves beating in the Woods?" Bamboo straw sandals are lighter than horses, who is afraid! A raincoat and hemp fiber, despite the wind and rain, still live my life. The coolness of spring breeze awakens my wine, and the cold begins to be cold, and the peak of the sun is the sun, but it is satisfied in time. Looking back at the bleak land, rain or shine. "This is just an unexpected rain in the forest. If ordinary people encounter it, they will think it is bad luck and get soaked in the rain. On the other hand, perilla walked slowly on sandals and whistled, facing the ups and downs optimistically, or the ups and downs in life. Who can bathe like perilla? Tragic life, which is somewhat self-deprecating and willful, but also somewhat open-minded and free and easy. Let it wind and rain. " Who's scared? "The ups and downs will always stop. On the one hand, there is a cold spring breeze, and on the other hand, there is a sloping mountain. This contains a simple two-sided philosophy. The most classic is the last sentence. After the storm, looking back on the bumps along the way, Perilla didn't like it or feel sad, but looked at the situation with an open mind, which was admirable.

Su Shi's ci is famous for its boldness, but there are also many graceful and restrained works. Perilla has a variety of ci styles. What moved me most was the song "Jiangchengzi". "Ten years of life and death are two boundless. Never think, never forget. Lonely graves thousands of miles away, desolate with nowhere to talk about. Even if we meet, we should be ignorant, dusty and cold. When night came, my dream suddenly came home. Xiao Xuan window, get dressed. There is nothing to say to each other, only a thousand tears, and the heart is broken every year, and the month is short and loose. " This word is like something from the bottom of my heart. It was written with heart, without any delicate and artificial decoration. It is natural and smooth, like running water, full of affection and tears. "Looking at each other without words, tears flow thousands of lines." A true confidant doesn't need too many words, because the heart is in harmony, because you are in my heart, a few simple words and even a casual look are enough to express everything. It is said that love is speechless. Think about how many people have such sincere feelings in today's fast food era?

Perilla frutescens is a talented poet and a profound philosopher. The poet's temperament makes him find a different kind of beauty in ordinary life, and the philosopher's thought makes him inclusive and surpass himself in the bitter and bumpy tragic life. Some people say that no one really understands his heart, but he has insight into the deepest mystery in the world. Now, I just read the heritage of Perilla devoutly, feel the profound philosophy of Perilla with a plain heart, and be illuminated by his spirit between the lines. His spirit is so noble that I can only look up to it on earth.

7. Ask for an essay on Su Shi. In the article, Su Shi's poems should meet Su Shi. If there is a just visiting, let me meet Su Shi, I would like to choose-in autumn.

—— Inscription: Sunset in the Western Hills, dusk, cool autumn wind, filled the air. I stood outside the door where he had to pass, watching the outline of the tower dilute in the autumn frost.

Looking from a distance, at the western end of the ancient road, a figure is walking alone and stumbling through the fallen leaves. Behind him, every leaf tells his bumpy life and wonderful chapter.

As he approached, his face gradually became clear, and his tired face and bright eyes were the gray and messy beard fluttering in the autumn wind. I waited calmly, waiting for his question.

"Why did you choose to meet me in autumn?" "The four seasons cycle, autumn is the most special season, and it has crossed the prosperity of summer. Facing the approach of winter, I can't help but hesitate, so autumn is the best season for meditation, summing up the past and establishing confidence beyond winter. For example, a short life depends on the youth before and the old age after, so people know that their destiny will not be confused, and many unexpected gains will be presented in front of them ... ""Good point! " Su Shi brushed away his beard slightly and nodded with a smile, but there was a lingering sadness in his brow. "So, I should be glad that I have entered the autumn of my life. However, I have always been positive and optimistic about life, but I always have no place to live. What kind of position has fate given me? " I smiled. As an ancient person, how can you compare with today's people's thoughts? Looking at modern times, talented people came forth in large numbers, great scholars, knowledgeable and versatile, and enjoyed a long-standing reputation. Why worry about a bad career? "Once involved in politics, involved in this turbid torrent, it is difficult for thoughtful people to gain a foothold.

Retirement is a wonderful method, and scholars are not uncommon. It's rare that you have an empty ambition, but your career is not smooth. What you admire is that you still have a clear and heroic heart in this wandering, chanting' When will the bright moon be' on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, chanting' Thinking of Gong Jin's past' on the bank of Chibi, and chanting' Youth' in the forest of Michigan. From a modern point of view, your life is full and profound.

I admire you even more, regardless of gains and losses, and enjoy the bright moon in the mountains and the breeze on the river endowed by nature. What kind of mentality is this? Looks like you have no regrets. Don't you have a prominent position among poets and essayists? "There are lonely geese returning late in the sky, and the fallen leaves are still floating in the air, making beautiful preparations for the last flight. Everything on Christmas Eve touches my heart.

Everything has its own unique way of life, even if it is not perfect. How can we face life profoundly and Su Shi's confusion? Su Shi, on the other hand, kept smoothing his beard and slightly locked his brow. For a long time, he raised his head and his brow widened a lot: "A drop in the ocean, send the ephemera to the ground!" I looked up, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was a vast sky overhead, so deep and unfathomable.

On the sky, the milky way is vast, and occasionally meteors flash by. I was suddenly enlightened, facing the vast universe, how small people are! Why confuse the ups and downs of life? The sky will tell you everything.

Looking back, I looked at Su Shi. From his eyes, I read a distant self-confidence.

This is the communication of the mind, transcending time and space and spanning the times. The contract between modern people and the ancients is so simple and extraordinary. We all laughed into the sky, and laughter pierced the night sky, waking up countless night birds.
