There are about 4,000 poems by Su Shi, which have a wide range of contents and diverse styles, but they are mainly bold, changeable and romantic, which has opened up a new road for the development of Song poetry. Ye Xie (Zi Zhou) said in "The Original Poetry": "Su Shi's poems are unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and everything in the world laughs and curses, all from the pen." The grand plan of a generation ...........................................................................................................................................................................
There are more than 340 poems written by Su Shi, which break through the narrow theme of writing about the love and parting between men and women and have a wide range of social contents. Su Shi occupies a special position in the history of China Ci. He extended the spirit of the poetry innovation movement in the Northern Song Dynasty to the field of ci, swept away the traditional style of ci since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, created a wild school that kept pace with the graceful school, expanded the theme of ci, enriched the artistic conception of ci, and broke through the boundary between poetry and poetry. He made great contributions to the innovation and development of Ci. His representative works include Nian Nujiao and Shui Diao Ge Tou, which created the uninhibited ci world and was called "Su Xin" with Xin Qiji. Liu Chenweng said in Xin Jiaxuan's Preface of Words: "Ci reaches Dongpo, which is aboveboard, like poetry and prose, and the wonders of heaven and earth."
1 July, 079, Su Shi took office in Huzhou, was convicted and imprisoned for Wutai Poetry, and was exiled to Huangzhou in the following year1month. Before the poem case, since 107 1 was appointed as Tongguan, Hangzhou, Su Shi had successively been appointed as the governor of Mizhou, the satrap of Xuzhou and the satrap of Huzhou, with outstanding achievements. His poems are full of desert in overall style. Although he was an official and a bachelor of Hanlin for a while, his works were rarely bold, but more and more turned to nature and life experience. As for his seclusion in Danzhou, Huizhou in his later years, his indifferent and broad-minded state of mind is even more obvious. He inherited the style of Huangzhou's works and integrated his life. I moved things to my leisure time and reached a state of sudden tranquility.
Taking Wutai poetry as the boundary, Su Shi's poetry works have both inheritance and obvious differences in creation. Behind the "going home" complex that runs through, people can see that the poet's brushwork has gradually turned from the endless sigh of teenagers to the helplessness of middle age and the broadmindedness of old age-getting older and more mature, but becoming dull.
First of all, as far as subject matter is concerned, Su Shi's early works mainly reflect his "specific political worries", while his later works focus on his "broad life worries", taking evil as his enemy, and "voicing evil when it comes to Taiwan Province".
In the early stage, he had a sense of social responsibility advocated by Confucianism and was deeply concerned about the sufferings of the people; In the later period, especially after being demoted twice, he advocated Taoist culture more and returned to Buddhism in an attempt to get rid of religion. Inspired by Buddhism's "normal mind is the Tao", he lived a real peasant life in Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou, and enjoyed it.
Thirdly, in style, the previous works are magnificent and unrestrained, like a flood bursting its banks and spilling thousands of miles; Later works are ethereal, meaningful and unremarkable, such as The Dark Flowers of Pak Lei. As far as ci works are concerned, there are not many works that really belong to the bold style. According to Mr. Zhu Jinghua's statistics, similar works accounted for about one-tenth of all Su Shi's poems, and most of them were concentrated in Xuzhou, Mizhou, which was the mainstream of creation at that time. Although these works are not dominant in quantity, they do reflect Su Shi's positive attitude towards being an official at that time. Some works in the later period not only have the style of local people's feelings, but also have the charm and charm of hospitality, such as chanting things, remembering scenery, nostalgia, farewell, pastoral scenery, talking about Zen and reasoning, which are almost all-inclusive and colorful. This part accounts for about nine times out of ten of all Su Shi's poems, including Zhuangzi.
Su Shi's ci style can be divided into three categories:
1. Bold style This is the ideal style that Su Shi deliberately pursues. He combined his words with rich, passionate and even slightly sad feelings, and wrote characters with generous and heroic images and magnificent scenes to win;
2. Broad-minded style This is the most representative sentence of Su Shi's thought and personality, which expresses the poet's desire to live in seclusion, avoid troubled times and look forward to peace.
3. Graceful Style The number of graceful words of Su Shi accounts for an absolute proportion in the total number of words. These words are pure and profound in feelings and healthy and lofty in style, and they are also the inheritance and development of traditional graceful words.
