I know that Su Shi started with The River of No Return. Once upon a time, I was shocked by the majestic momentum he described and deeply attracted by his bold and unconstrained style.
Perilla's life is full of frustrations. In that dark age, the court was incompetent and the traitors were in power. However, Su Shi, who has read a lot about the history of Confucian classics, has the life belief of "working hard and thinking of the world", worrying about the country and the people, sticking to his own views on national affairs and never giving in to the dark forces. Don't blindly follow, don't be selfish, distinguish between black and white, always maintain a high sense of social responsibility, and lead an honest and clean life in the dirty officialdom. However, can this clear spring be contained in the dirty sewage flow? The sewage flow will only erode this clear spring. As a result, Su Shi, whose stomach is out of date, was doomed to a bumpy life under political struggle and power.
It's hard to imagine that after the sinister officialdom turmoil and bumpy life humiliation, Perilla can tolerate everything with a broad mind and discover the beauty of life with an optimistic and positive heart. What kind of mind and tolerance are needed!
After being demoted to Huangzhou, all his former friends left him, and the lonely Su Shi lived an inseparable life. "The lack of moon hangs phoenix trees, which makes people quiet at first. Who saw you alone, Hong Ying. At night, it suddenly becomes afraid, suddenly flies and comes back frequently, but no one always understands its infinite inner feelings. Picking up all the cold branches is not willing to live, and the lonely sandbar is cold. " . In ci, perilla is a metaphor for loneliness, and its desolation is unspeakable. Today, I can still feel the indescribable loneliness in Perilla's heart after reading this song Operator. Political frustration, the indifference of old friends, and endless loneliness came to him. Is it really "lonely sages since ancient times"? Perilla heart pain can be imagined.
In Su Shi's bumpy life, he experienced ups and downs, and was exiled to Lingnan for the farthest time, leading a hard life with the Li people.
The greatness of great men lies in their noble personality and their firm and optimistic attitude towards life under difficult circumstances. Su Shi, who felt helpless about life, studied the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi and sought spiritual detachment through Buddhism and Zen metaphysics. "What kind of life is everywhere? It should be like flying in the snow, occasionally leaving fingers and claws on the mud and flying back and forth ... "Perilla's ci seems simple and easy to understand, but it contains profound philosophy behind it, giving people endless thinking and enlightenment. In perilla's eyes, the world is just a passing thing, and she can be clean all her life.
What I appreciate most is his song Ding Fengbo, "Why not sing and walk slowly if you don't listen to the sound of leaves beating in the Woods?" Bamboo straw sandals are lighter than horses, who is afraid! A raincoat and hemp fiber, despite the wind and rain, still live my life. The coolness of spring breeze awakens my wine, and the cold begins to be cold, and the peak of the sun is the sun, but it is satisfied in time. Looking back at the bleak land, rain or shine. "This is just an unexpected rain in the forest. If ordinary people encounter it, they will think it is bad luck and get soaked in the rain. On the other hand, perilla walked slowly on sandals and whistled, facing the ups and downs optimistically, or the ups and downs in life. Who can bathe like perilla? Tragic life, which is somewhat self-deprecating and willful, but also somewhat open-minded and free and easy. Let it wind and rain. " Who's scared? "The ups and downs will always stop. On the one hand, there is a cold spring breeze, and on the other hand, there is a sloping mountain. This contains a simple two-sided philosophy. The most classic is the last sentence. After the storm, looking back on the bumps along the way, Perilla didn't like it or feel sad, but looked at the situation with an open mind, which was admirable.
Su Shi's ci is famous for its boldness, but there are also many graceful and restrained works. Perilla has a variety of ci styles. What moved me most was the song "Jiangchengzi". "Ten years of life and death are two boundless. Never think, never forget. Lonely graves thousands of miles away, desolate with nowhere to talk about. Even if we meet, we should be ignorant, dusty and cold. When night came, my dream suddenly came home. Xiao Xuan window, get dressed. There is nothing to say to each other, only a thousand tears, and the heart is broken every year, and the month is short and loose. " This word is like something from the bottom of my heart. It was written with heart, without any delicate and artificial decoration. It is natural and smooth, like running water, full of affection and tears. "Looking at each other without words, tears flow thousands of lines." A true confidant doesn't need too many words, because the heart is in harmony, because you are in my heart, a few simple words and even a casual look are enough to express everything. It is said that love is speechless. Think about how many people have such sincere feelings in today's fast food era?
Perilla frutescens is a talented poet and a profound philosopher. The poet's temperament makes him find a different kind of beauty in ordinary life, and the philosopher's thought makes him inclusive and surpass himself in the bitter and bumpy tragic life. Some people say that no one really understands his heart, but he has insight into the deepest mystery in the world. Now, I just read the heritage of Perilla devoutly, feel the profound philosophy of Perilla with a plain heart, and be illuminated by his spirit between the lines. His spirit is so noble that I can only look up to it on earth.
