Su Shi's poetic achievements

Su Shi's views on society and thoughts on life are undisguised in his literary works, among which poetry is the most hearty. In more than 2,700 Su poems, the theme of intervening in social reality and thinking about life is very prominent.

Su Shi's attitude towards various unreasonable phenomena in social reality is "out of date", and he always regards criticizing reality as an important theme of his poems. What is more valuable is that Su Shi's criticism of society is not limited to the New Deal or the present. He criticized the long-standing abuses and bad habits in feudal society, and embodied a deeper critical consciousness.

Anecdotal allusions

When Su Shi was in Huangzhou, he often interacted with Fo Yin Zen Master who presided over Jinshan Temple. One day, Su Shi wrote a poem, "Looking at the sky from a distance, it shines brightly, and the eight winds can't blow, sitting on the purple lotus", which was dedicated to Fo Yin. The Zen master immediately approved the word "fart" and let the young people take it back.

Dongpo was furious at this. He immediately crossed the river and asked the Zen master. The Zen master smiled and said, "Bachelor, bachelor, aren't you' the Eight Winds can't be blown'? Why cross the river with a fart? " "Eight winds can't be blown" can be found in the fifth volume of Buddhist scriptures and also in Hanshan's poems. Eight winds are Buddhist terms, which refer to eight winds: name, ridicule, extinction, fame, benefit, decline, bitterness and joy.
