The largest number and most characteristic of Su Shi's poems are uncompromising expressions based on deep worries. On the one hand, it is the bitterness of uncertain fate and bumpy career, on the other hand, it is the broadmindedness beyond this bitterness, and the two are intertwined to form a stream of consciousness throughout Su Shi's poems.
Su Shi's poems win with meaning. He doesn't stick to the object, is not bound by conventions, and is free and unimpeded, such as a thousand springs, gurgling, and a thousand miles. He does what he should do by hook or by crook and gains a wonderful meaning.
The artistic conception of Su Shi's poems is profound. He is not satisfied with copying the external form of the scenery, but always wants to explore and express the "reason" in it. In his works, natural scenery, after emotional filtering, is often both realistic and symbolic, which not only shows the objective beauty of natural scenery, but also becomes a reflection of life and a symbol of philosophy, reaching the artistic realm of the unity of things and me.
