Being an official in Hangzhou, besides being busy with official business, it is natural to run around.
Drinking wine, the beauty played music and the water rippled, and he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, "the water is bright and sunny, the mountains are empty and rainy".
On the way to Huzhou, the ship was caught in a big storm, which made him lucky enough to see the weather of "white waves hitting Cangshan and rain flying in the window";
At the age of fifty, Su Dongpo was transferred to Bianjing as a bachelor of Hanlin.
On one occasion, when he wrote poems for his friends, he showed his secluded heart of "the spring breeze shook the river and the sky was deserted, and the clouds rolled up the mountains";
There are Fengxiang happy rain, misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, dark rain in the blue bridge, rain in the bamboo dock, spring rain in apricot blossom and autumn rain in Linping. ...
Winds from different directions blow on the road from south to north.
It rained in different colors for a long time.
The image of wind coming and rain going became the background of Su Dongpo's journey, penetrated into his life background, and was finally carved into a wet memory.
Lin Yutang wrote in the biography of Su Dongpo:
"I believe that if anyone is so close to nature, seasons, rain and snow, mountains and valleys, and receives its treatment, he will certainly not be closed-minded and have a closed outlook on life."
A person's outlook on life determines the scenery he sees during his trip.
There is a gap in the heart and the world is narrow.
Open your mind, the moon is boundless.
Su Dongpo's infinite charm comes not only from his rich and bold poems, but also from his pluralistic and open outlook on life.
No matter when and where, no matter what kind of situation, no matter how stormy it is outside, he can always live in the present, live in harmony, and do things with the heart of his birth.
Because of this, Su Dongpo became a hopeless optimist.
Life is stormy, and he is happy all the way.
