Su Shi wrote it when he relegated Huangzhou for the first time, and it was also Su Shi's self-deprecating poem.
First Arrived in Huangzhou (Northern Song Dynasty-Su Shi)
Laughing all your life will be ridiculous when you get old.
All over the Yangtze River, fish is beautiful, bamboo is good, mountain is fragrant.
Not as good as a foreigner, the poet is an example of Shui Caolang.
Unfortunately, it didn't help at all, and it was still a waste of time for the housekeeper to press the wine bag.
The vernacular translation of this poem is as follows: I have been busy making a living all my life, which is ridiculous, but when I am old, I am ridiculous because of this "oral thing". The Yangtze River surrounds Huangzhou, and I know this fish tastes delicious. There are many bamboos injected near Huangzhou, and it seems that you can still smell the fragrance of bamboo shoots. People who have been demoted might as well stay out of it, be a member, follow the poet's consistent style, and be a leisurely grass lang. I'm just ashamed that being demoted won't help politics, and I have to spend a lot of money on wine bags.
The first couplet of this poem begins with self-mockery. I have been running for a living all my life. Until now, my career has not improved much. I can only laugh at myself when I think of my ambition and ambition when I was young. Among them, the word "absurd" shows that the poet has some negation and self-mockery about his past words and deeds, but he also has some resentment.
After arriving in Huangzhou, Zhuan Xu expressed his vision for the future life. Huangzhou is surrounded by the Yangtze River, where the fish are delicious and there are many bamboos in the mountains. Looking at this scene, the poet seemed to smell the fragrance of fish and bamboo shoots. I have to say that the poet's mentality is really optimistic, and it is admirable to have such a beautiful vision of life when life is at a low point. It can be described as "lost in the east corner, harvested in the mulberry elm". Although Su Shi did not make any achievements in his official career during his stay in Huangzhou, he gradually entered the realm of perfection in poetry.
