Su Shi's poems

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 Su Shi's attitude towards various unreasonable phenomena in social reality is "out of date", and he always regards criticizing reality as an important theme of his poems.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.

Su Shi's life was ups and downs, and he traveled everywhere, and his life experience was extremely rich. He is good at summing up experience from life experience and seeing laws from objective things. In his eyes, ordinary life content and natural scenery contain profound truth, such as Xilin Wall Topic and Mianchi Nostalgia. In these poems, natural phenomena rise to philosophy, and the perception of life is also transformed into rational thinking. What is particularly commendable is that the philosophy in poetry is naturally expressed through vivid and distinctive artistic images, rather than through logical deduction or discussion and analysis. Such a poem is both beautiful and interesting, worthy of the name. "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain" and "Snow Mud Red Claw" became a popular idiom as soon as they came out, which shows that Su Shi's reasonable poems are widely loved. There are many similar works in Su Shi's poems, such as the Sangha Pagoda in Sizhou, the rain on the lake after the Qing Dynasty, and the wind control in Cihu. Su Shi is very insightful, so he can find wonderful ideas everywhere.

Deep life thinking makes Su Shi hold a calm and broad-minded attitude towards ups and downs, which is fully reflected in Su Shi's poems. Su Shi's poems in adversity, of course, contain pain, resentment and depression, but Su Shi shows more contempt for suffering and transcendence of pain.

Su Shi has profound knowledge, mastered the artistic skills of poetry to the point of perfection, and has an amazing spirit of innovation in treating artistic norms. Moreover, the expressive force of Su Shi's poems is amazing, and there is almost no theme that Su Shi's poems can't contain.

The late Northern Song Dynasty, represented by Yuan You's poetry circle, was the heyday of Song poetry, and the creation of Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Huang Tingjian and Chen Shidao pushed the art of Song poetry to its peak. The prominence and distinctiveness of Wang, Huang and Chen's poems in style and personality may be more striking than Su Shi's poems. But in terms of creative achievements, Su Shi is undoubtedly the first poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Su Shi's poems are outstanding in the dimensions of wide subject matter, diverse forms and profound emotional connotation. More importantly, Su Shi has a strong artistic compatibility, and he did not push a certain style to the status of a statue in theory and creation. In this way, although Su Shi made great contributions in the process of creating a new look of Song poetry, he basically avoided the two main shortcomings of Song poetry, namely, sharp and blunt and boring. Therefore, Su Shi surpassed his contemporaries in overall achievement and became the most popular poet in the Song Dynasty.
