Original text:
Past events and heartbroken poems are unknown to you.
There are few true feelings in the world. Since ancient times, people have been passionate and crazy.
Translation:
The past makes people sad. I'm crazy about you, but you don't know. Don't say that there are really too few feelings in the world. There are many single-minded people in the world, but you don't know my feelings for you.

Appreciation of Su Shi's Poetry Art
Su Shi's views on society and thoughts on life are undisguised in his literary works, among which poetry is the most hearty. In more than 2,700 Su poems, the theme of intervening in social reality and thinking about life is very prominent.
Su Shi's attitude towards various unreasonable phenomena in social reality is "out of date", and he always regards criticizing reality as an important theme of his poems. What is more valuable is that Su Shi's criticism of society is not limited to the New Deal or the present. He criticized the long-standing abuses and bad habits in feudal society, and embodied a deeper critical consciousness.
Su Shi's life was ups and downs, and he traveled everywhere, and his life experience was extremely rich. He is good at summing up experience from life experience and seeing laws from objective things. In his eyes, ordinary life content and natural scenery contain profound truth.
In these poems, natural phenomena rise to philosophy, and the perception of life is also transformed into rational thinking. What is particularly commendable is that the philosophy in poetry is naturally expressed through vivid and distinctive artistic images, rather than through logical deduction or discussion and analysis.
This kind of poem is both beautiful and interesting, worthy of the name. "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain" and "Snow Mud Red Claw" became a popular idiom as soon as they came out, which shows that Su Shi's reasonable poems are widely loved. Su Shi is very insightful, so he can find wonderful ideas everywhere.
Deep life thinking makes Su Shi hold a calm and broad-minded attitude towards ups and downs, which is fully reflected in Su Shi's poems. Su Shi's poems in adversity, of course, contain pain, resentment and depression, but Su Shi shows more contempt for suffering and transcendence of pain.
Su Shi has profound knowledge, mastered the artistic skills of poetry to the point of perfection, and has an amazing spirit of innovation in treating artistic norms. Moreover, the expressive force of Su Shi's poems is amazing, and there is almost no theme that Su Shi's poems can't contain.
The late Northern Song Dynasty, represented by Yuan You's poetry circle, was the heyday of Song poetry, and the creation of Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Huang Tingjian and Chen Shidao pushed the art of Song poetry to its peak.
The prominence and distinctiveness of Wang, Huang and Chen's poems in style and personality may be more striking than Su Shi's poems. But in terms of creative achievements, Su Shi is undoubtedly the first poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.
