In the eighth year of Xining in Song Shenzong, Su Shi was appointed as well-known in Mizhou. One day, he went hunting in the suburbs, and when he came back, he felt a lot, so he wrote a sentence:
Jiangchengzi Mizhou Hunting
I said juvenile madness, which led to yellow on the left and pale on the right. Golden hat, mink and fur, thousands of riding rolls and leveling posts. In order to repay the people of the whole city for following my generous hunting proposal, I will shoot this tiger myself like Sun Quan.
It doesn't matter if the chest is still open and the temple is slightly frosted after drinking wine. When will the emperor send someone down, like Emperor Han sent Feng Tang to the cloud to pardon Shang Wei? I will make my strength as full as the full moon, full as the full moon, heading northwest and shooting at the team in West Xia Jun.
This word has always been praised, and Su Shi himself is quite proud. He also asked the strong men of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to clap their hands and sing, and with the rhythm of playing flute and drums, the scene was quite spectacular. In a letter to a friend, he said: Although it doesn't taste like Liu, it's still a family, hehe. Liu is Liu Yong, and Liu Yong's ci was all the rage and graceful at that time. Su Shi's ci is full of lofty sentiments and ambitions of galloping on the battlefield and making great efforts to govern the country, full of enterprising spirit, lofty ideals, broad mind and passion. This lofty and bold spirit was rare at that time, and it can be said that it created a bold style, so Su Shi said that he was a family.
Su Shi writes ci with the kind of mind and mind that he writes poetry. He wrote all kinds of emotions or spiritual will in his life into his ci, showing a detached and broad-minded philosophical artistic conception, which occupies an extremely special position in the history of China's ci.
The fifth year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong was the third year that Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou. One day, Su Shi took people to Husha Lake, but it rained on the road. They didn't have rain gear, which was embarrassing, but Su Shi didn't notice. Later, when it cleared up, Su Shi felt it and wrote this sentence:
Ding Fengbo
Don't pay attention to the beating rain in the forest. Mei sings a long whistle and walks leisurely. Bamboo poles and sandals are more dexterous than riding horses. What's to be afraid of? 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 place where I met the wind and rain, going back, for me, there is no wind and rain, but it is still sunny.
What is written on the surface is rain, but it is actually a philosophy of life. Don't listen to word for word to point out that foreign things are not enough, but reveal a kind of determination and perseverance, write the rain clearly, and secretly write out the realm he showed when facing the blows and setbacks in life. Looking back is the finishing touch, revealing his epiphany and enlightenment from the subtle moment of nature, showing a philosophical, transcendental and philosophical feeling.
In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Zhang Ruya also lived in Huangzhou. We know little about Zhang Biya, but Su Shi obviously likes Zhang Biya and is like-minded. At that time, he had a night outing with Zhang Lisu. They walked in the yard, watching the bright moonlight, and the pine and cypress projected into the water, expressing their feelings: Why is there no moon at night? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? It's just the lack of free people like us. (Night Tour in Chengtian Temple)
Zhang Pia built a pavilion by the Yangtze River near his residence as a place to cultivate his temperament. Su Shi called it Kuaizai Pavilion and wrote a poem for Zhang Pia:
A gift from Huangzhou Kuaizai Pavilion, the head of Shuidiao Song, to Zhang Lisi.
The sunset lifted the embroidered curtains and looked out, the pavilions and blue sky under the river, the sunset and pavilions in the distance, and the endless space. In order for me to come, you specially painted the windows with bright red paint. This reminds me of the time when I was in Pingshan House, leaning against the pillow, enjoying the misty rain in the south and looking at the horizon in the distance. Know the drunk's language: the color of the mountain there is yes and no.
The endless water surface is crystal clear, reflecting the green shadow of the mountains. Suddenly, the river was rough, and a fisherman was sailing in the wind and waves. Seeing this, I can't help but think of Song Yu's Song Yu. It is impossible for such a ridiculous person to understand that the wind in Zhuangzi is the voice of nature, saying that the wind has a daughter. As a matter of fact, as long as a person has the noble spirit of ambition and wisdom, he can be poised in any occasion and enjoy the infinite comfort of thousands of miles.
This poem is full of scenery, discussion and lyricism. It has an awe-inspiring and exquisite spiritual realm, a magnificent and unrestrained style of overthrowing heroes, and also embodies his exploration of life. A little noble spirit, a thousand miles fast wind, as long as the chest is full of righteousness, you can take it calmly under any circumstances.
These two poems full of lofty sentiments and ambitions were both written by Su Shi during his relegation. Su Shi experienced many years of turmoil and twists and turns in his life, and he felt helpless about life. However, we can also see that he did not deny his life, but maintained a tenacious and optimistic attitude.
Mr. Gu Sui said that there are two ways to extend the life of poetry. The first is the expansion of personnel. The wider the scope of your concern, the richer and deeper the life of your works will be. For example, Du Fu, whose poems describe real life and are full of worries about people's sufferings, is called the history of poetry. The other is the integration with nature. When you are as vast as nature, the life of your works will be greater. So much for Su Shi.
When Su Shi was in Huangzhou, he visited Chibi several times and wrote two poems about Chibi, as well as this poem "Nian Nujiao Nostalgia for Chibi", which is a masterpiece of ancient and modern times.
Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia
The river of no return, a romantic figure with a long history. To the west of the old base, humanity is the Red Cliff in Zhou Lang. The steep rock wall, like thunder waves lapping against the river bank, waves like rolling up thousands of snow. As picturesque as a mountain, how many heroes there are at one time!
Looking back on Zhou Yu's spring breeze era, young and beautiful Joe just married him, and he was full of heroic spirit. Feather fan nylon scarf, talking and laughing, lost in the smoke. Old country fugue, affectionate Ying Xiao Wo, early life in France and China. Life is like a dream, and a bottle returns to the moon.
At the beginning of the word, it is a grand picture that stretches for thousands of years. In the construction of such a broad space-time framework, he led the frustration of life to a lofty place from ancient times to the present, from big to small, from heaven and earth to individuals, and finally combined sadness with transcendence.
Su Shi combined the observation of natural landscape with the thinking of history and life, expanded the life of Ci, endowed Ci with lofty sentiments and ultra-broad ideas, and inspired readers.
Looking back at the above words, there is an ambition and a desire to serve the country under the concept of heroism and super-broadmindedness. Su Shi has the spirit of loyalty since he was a child. This spirit of loyalty runs through Su Shi's life. Su Shi has been an official for 40 years and has been demoted three times, but he always insists on taking the people as the foundation, taking honesty as the head and governing politics first. He always dares to stick to his own opinions in national political affairs, not blindly following, not favoritism, refusing to be a smooth person, always keeping the spirit of black and white, and being consistent in appearance. When he was appointed as a local official, he always cared about the sufferings of the people and worked hard to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages. Even after being demoted, he still focused on doing practical things for the people: in Xuzhou, he led officials to build dikes for flood control; In Hangzhou, he dredged the West Lake and built the Su Causeway. In Huizhou, he introduced spring water to the city for people to drink.
There is no doubt that Su Shi is a scholar-bureaucrat with a sense of social responsibility and a firm and persistent character. On the one hand, he is a scholar-bureaucrat, upright and upright, and abides by his beliefs, on the other hand, he pursues transcendence and artistry. Reading Su Shi's ci will always be inspired by the heroism in his ci, which will broaden people's mind and strengthen their will.
