First of all, in the content of poetry, it is manifested as intervention in society and thinking about life. Su Shi's views on social reality and thoughts on life are undisguised in his literary works, among which poetry is the most hearty. In Su Shi's more than 2,700 poems, the theme of interfering with social reality and thinking about life is very prominent. 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.
Secondly, the skillful use and transcendence of artistic skills. Su Shi's knowledge is very high, and his mastery of poetic artistic skills has reached a handy proficiency, and he treats artistic norms with innovative spirit. The metaphors in Su Shi's poems are vivid, novel and endless. For example, in The Hundred Steps of the Flood, seven metaphors are used to describe running water: "It's like a rabbit walking on the road where an eagle and a falcon fall, and a good horse betting on a steep slope. The broken string leaves the column and the arrow is released, and the flying electric ball is overturned, which really makes a wonderful metaphor. Su Shi's allusion is safe and accurate, and it is natural, which achieves the wonders of salt in water. For example, he wrote poems to comfort Li Zhi, who was ranked last. " He talked about the ancient battlefield all his life and was fascinated by the five colors of the sun. This is a good example of using allusions. The antithesis in Su Shi's poems is exquisite and lively, and his intention is to break the routine. For example, in "The Elder of Yongle Wen is Dead", "After three doors, I died of old age and died of illness, and now I am here in a blink of an eye", which is new and good.
Thirdly, the ability to express hidden feelings must be achieved without difficulties. Zhao Yi, a poet in A Qing, commented on Su Shi in Ou Bei Shi Hua: "The pen of nature is as cool as a sad pear, as fast as a scissors, and it has a sense of concealment. It is everyone after Cha and Du." The expressive force of Su Shi's poems is amazing, and there are almost no themes that Su Shi can't write. It is common to take photos and fetch water to make tea in the stream, but Su Shi wrote, "There are so many rows that I have to frown. Scattered into hundreds of Dongpo, and instantly returned here ",showing the extraordinary ability to control the theme. "
Finally, it embodies the artistic style of combining rigidity with softness. Su Shi advocated eclecticism in poetic style. Su Shi paid special attention to the fusion of two opposing styles, so when commenting on other people's poems, he put forward the terms "Qingyuan Li Xiong" and "Qing Xiong Jue Su". Su Shi pays great attention to the mutual infiltration and adjustment of masculine beauty and feminine beauty in his creation. There is no doubt that the dominant style of Su Shi's poems is bold and unconstrained, and some works even have the shortcomings of being bold and unrestrained. However, many excellent works in Su Shi's poems have achieved both rigidity and softness, thus showing a "beautiful and heroic" style.
Although Su Shi made great contributions in the process of creating a new atmosphere in the Song Dynasty, he basically avoided the two main shortcomings of the Song Dynasty: sharpness, rigidity and plainness, so Su Shi surpassed his contemporaries in overall achievements and became the first poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.
