From Su Shi's poem "Washing Children's Play" in Song Dynasty. The content of the whole poem is: everyone is looking forward to being smart when raising a son, but I have been delayed by being smart all my life. I only hope that this child is honest and honest, and there is no disaster and no difficulty in reaching the public. Everyone wants children to be born smart. But what are the benefits of being smart? It is because I am smart that I am envied by others, and I have missed my life because I am smart. I only hope that my son is stupid, dull, harmless and can be an official to public office.
Xi Hill Zuo is a four-line poem written by Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. The whole poem uses the word "hope" to express people's expectations for children. With a word "mistake", the story of the author's life is told.
The last two sentences are angry words, which are the inverted feelings of life. On the surface, this poem is about children's education, but in fact it is a satire on officialdom, showing the author's cynicism and cynicism.
The background of this poem is that Su Shi was imprisoned for opposing Wang Anshi's new law and satirizing "Jin Xin" in the poem. A "Wutai Poetry Case" shocked the ruling and opposition parties. Fortunately, with the rescue of senior officials, Su Shi was saved from death and retired to Huangzhou. During her stay in Huangzhou, my concubine Chaoyun gave birth to a boy for Su Shi, and Washing Children's Plays was written for this boy. Just after a great ordeal, the poet hoped that his son would be stupid and foolish, and at the same time satirized the "public officials" at that time.
