In terms of poetry, these poems all embody the optimistic and open-minded spirit, which has a profound influence on later generations.
Both "meaning" and "feeling" in Su Shi's poems are based on feelings or feelings, and his optimistic and broad-minded spirit is closely related to his rich and bumpy life experiences. Su Shi's talent is not well-known, but he is politically self-reliant and his life is ups and downs, so it is difficult to prepare for adventure. He was exiled many times, but accepted that Su Shi lived in the Song Dynasty where the three religions were integrated. He not only accepted Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism happily, but also organically combined the firm spirit of Confucianism. Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi ignored the transcendental attitude of limited time and space and material environment, and Zen treated all changes with a normal heart, thus achieving the goal of despising ugliness and eliminating pain. He naturally integrated this optimistic and open-minded spirit into the creative process.
Bold and uninhibited, popular and open-minded, elegant and refined, the lofty and optimistic and broad-minded spirit is naturally expressed through vivid and vivid images, rather than through logical deduction or discussion and analysis, such as He Ziyou Mianchi Nostalgia, Life as Snow, Hong Fei and so on. Through Hong Fei and Snow Mud, the optimistic, free and broad-minded spirit and attitude towards life are vividly reflected. Finally, it ends with "recalling whether the past is bumpy or not, and the road is long, and its Xiu Yuan is like a donkey hissing". No matter how bumpy the road is, the donkey's "hiss" and "I" still go forward with that broad mind and awe. Compared with the West Lake, the West Lake is very strange. Light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate. "The image of this poem is the lake, the sky is clear after the rain, and it is empty, creating an ethereal and leisurely atmosphere. This poem was written in Xining for six years. At this time, Su Shi was exiled to Hangzhou for opposing Wang Anshi's new law, but he did not give up on himself. Instead, he visited the beautiful West Lake and expressed his optimism, broad-minded spirit and carefree attitude towards life.
Su Shi's poems are not only bold, but also broad-minded in style. Su Shi, who has great talent but no talent, should not only adhere to the custom, but also conform to his destiny, such as "Life is like a dream, and a statue is still on the moon" (Niannujiao, Red Cliff Nostalgia) and "Old people talk about juvenile madness" (Jiangchengzi, Mizhou Hunting). Xia Gan regretted that "people have joys and sorrows" and immediately said that "the moon is full of rain and shine, and it is impossible to finish it!" Self-explanation, so as to get moral and enlightenment from nature and get rid of the distress of life.
Optimism and open-mindedness are the core, a firm belief in life, and a fighting spirit of not giving in to adversity. Therefore, Su Shi's poems in adversity are still magnificent and flowery, and there is no disease of decadence. For example, when crossing the sea on the night of June 20, the first couplet "survived the night, and the bitter rain finally cleared up", and the inscription that no matter how many ups and downs, the necklaces "clouds open and the moon shines" is regular. It is a beautiful color ending in life, such as "I don't hate to die in the south, and I will travel wonderfully for the rest of my life", which reflects my pride in overcoming darkness and my broad mind, my firm belief in life and my fighting spirit of not giving in to bad luck. Another example is Ding Feng. Even though the road is full of thorns, I still "whistle and crawl", and I am neither afraid nor happy about the rain.
The lofty ambition also contains the optimistic and open-minded spirit. I saw the optimistic and broad-minded spirit in the bold poetic style and ci style. For example, in Nian Nujiao Nostalgia for Red Cliff, the first part praised the magnificent scenery of Red Cliff, and the second part described the magnificent scenery of Red Cliff with Zhou Yu, creating a "hero" with a broad realm and heroic style, which not only aroused the author's heroic feelings, but also deepened his inner depression. Although the whole poem is brilliant, it only expresses the resentment in life, and more importantly, it shows that the hero is useless, but he is not depressed because of it. After venting, he is still calm and generous, smiling at life with heroic feelings, full of optimism and broad-mindedness.
Su Shi's attitude towards life is admired by later generations, because of his free advance and retreat, optimistic and broad-minded attitude towards life, and his achievements in poetry have become the highest representative of literature in the Song Dynasty, which is well deserved.
