Appreciation of works
Su Shi wrote a large number of reversal articles in his personal history, with novel and profound ideas, lofty and profound. The policy of governing the country, the principles of conduct, the love for the people, the hatred of evil, the thoughts of others, and the reflection of oneself are all unique and new insights, revealing things that others have never seen, and inspiring things that others have not thought of. Chao Cuo once put forward the suggestion of "cutting down the vassal vassal", but was later killed by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. "Chao Cuo's death made many people sigh." However, Su Shi came up with something unexpected. From a unique perspective and a family's perspective, he explained the reasons for Chao Cuo's disaster, and proposed that a benevolent gentleman and a heroic man should "come into trouble for the sake of the world, in order to success” claim.
The article begins with a general statement: "The most unavoidable trouble in the world is called peace and quiet, but in fact there are worries about unexpected events." The beginning of the sentence seems to be written in fiction, but in fact it is implicit During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the peace of the country and the people were hidden in the troubles of the princes. Then, the author focuses on the word "suffering" and explains it from the two aspects of "sitting" and "getting up".
If you "just sit back and watch what happens" without taking measures to deal with the disaster, then the disaster will spread hopelessly; if you "get up and take action" without waiting for the opportunity, you will also be unable to maintain peace. A stable situation. The author's phrase "get up and do something strong" alludes to Chao Cuo's defeat. Next, the article concludes with the meaning of the previous two sentences. It leads to the deeds of "a benevolent gentleman and a heroic journey", in order to secretly compare with Chao Cuogan. Using "This is definitely not something that can only be done within a few months. It is the best that those who seek fame can do."
To outline the losers in history and to implement them specifically on Chao Cuo, it implies that Chao Cuo is Comments on the reasons for failure. These two sentences are the key points of the whole article and the center of the author's argument. Here, it also has the wonderful function of connecting the previous and the following: "This is definitely not something that can only be done in a period of time." The upper link is "get up and do it vigorously"; ". At the back, the lines "The world is in peace" allude to the "Chaos of the Seven Kingdoms" during the reign of Emperor Jing;
The lines "As things come to pass, how can we get rid of them?" also falsely mean Chao Cuo after the Seven Kingdoms raised their armies. Attitude. Therefore, although the first paragraph does not directly point out Chao Cuo, it writes about Chao Cuo every sentence. There is concreteness in the abstract, real writing within the virtual writing, and the coexistence of virtuality and reality not only makes the subsequent discussion high-level, but also allows the article to be organized and open, giving it a eloquent momentum.
