From those poems, we can find how uneasy Su Dongpo was when he first entered the official career.
Su Dongpo's fault is that he can't see the shortcomings of others.
* Because he is convinced that not only gods but also monsters have to obey his righteous attack, he is fearless. He hates everything that goes against reason, and even monsters have to do what he has done, so that they can distinguish right from wrong.
* In his life, he only wrote seven epitaphs ... A few years later, he also wrote one for Chen Taishou. Apart from the one he wrote to Sima Guang, this one is the longest. Because Dongpo and Chen Taishou both appreciated each other in the end.
* Wang Anshi is an eccentric with unusual thoughts and personality ... He is also an unrealistic idealist.
* Sima Guang is also seriously ill in bed. At that time, his last command as prime minister was: "Wang Anshi is not a bad person. Its excessive willfulness. After death, the court should bury it with ceremony. "
* With an innocent and happy mood, almost childlike and unrestrained, sing out your feelings. However, this kind of worried and angry poetry angered Quan Yao and eventually brought him disaster.
Su Dongpo nodded and said, "This is exactly what I lack. It's okay. I was born too trusting. No matter who I talk to, I speak freely. "
Dongpo is light, open, argumentative, naive and reckless. ..... and Dongpo's outspoken and joking is even more frightening.
* Because from now on, he will become a petrel in the political storm, and he will not spend more than three years quietly in one place until his death.
Hangzhou is the second hometown of Dongpo, Su Like, not only because of its beautiful mountains, lakes and seas, but also because of its harmonious feelings with Hangzhou people, because he spent the happiest days in his life in Hangzhou.
These anecdotes always say that monks can't compete with poets Su Dongpo. I suspect that these stories are all made up by Fo Yin himself.
It took Mrs. Su several years to find out her husband's character. Is a multifaceted personality, optimistic and happy-go-lucky, but sometimes very fierce and stubborn.
* He knows life too well and cherishes it too much. Naturally, he doesn't want to spend his whole life among women who drink.
* But under the surface of laughter and banter at the banquet, there is an atmosphere of anxiety, disappointment, sadness and even fear.
* Only Su Dongpo is not tactful enough. When we see people in trouble, it is a question whether we should express our feelings frankly regardless of the consequences. Maybe Su Dongpo never thought about it. Therefore, while writing refreshing, surprising and comforting pastoral poems, he also wrote poems that were not so beautiful in rural areas. He is either crazy and reckless, or he is indignant and can't control himself. He knew that his poems would soon spread to Beijing, but he didn't care.
* The tune of water was written in the ninth year of Xining (1076) when he was in Mizhou.
* Later, he was forced to retire temporarily and keep a low profile in politics. From then on, a plump, sophisticated, active and loyal Su Dongpo appeared. This is what we know and what the people love. He is also a gentle and humorous Su Dongpo, a friend and soldier of the people-a great man with great personality.
Three months after Su Dongpo arrived, the flood arrived in Xuzhou. Wang Anshi tried to dredge the Yellow River waterway before, which cost 5 million yuan and the project failed. The project leader committed suicide.
* Rich households fled in succession, and Su Dongpo dissuaded them at the city gate so as not to cause panic. He said, "I'm not leaving, so you'd better not go either."
* Some small things are easy to do, as long as people want to do it, but only Su Dongpo is willing to do it.
* At that time, Su Dongpo was loved, respected and admired by the whole academic community. ..... It was only because of his popularity that his arrest and trial caused a sensation.
* Su Dongpo frankly admitted and criticized the New Deal for most of the other party's accusations in his own poems. Naturally, he feels angry and disappointed, which shows that he should be severely criticized by the ruling party.
* I am tired after writing all my life, and I have never lost my reputation.
The horse returned another day, and there was no war in the east of the city.
After writing this poem, Su Dongpo threw a pen and laughed: "I am really hopeless!"
On the Influence of the Collision between Confucianism and Buddhism on Su Dongpo's Prosperous Age
? Su Dongpo's heart is deeply rooted in Confucianism, which requires people to join the WTO, be loyal to the monarch, respect their ancestors and love the people. Therefore, Su Dongpo embarked on the official road and constantly gave advice to Zongshen. Wherever he goes, people live in harmony with him and can live and work in peace. When natural disasters came, Su Dongpo tried his best to pray for the people and bring them happiness. However, Su Dongpo, who was so loyal to the monarch and loved the people, was repeatedly calculated by the villains in the imperial court and was constantly excluded and relegated. The heavy blow made Su Dongpo recognize the darkness of the imperial court, restrained his "almost childlike wildness" and shook Su Dongpo's Confucianism. He began to get lost in thought, anxiety, confusion and fear. "When we see people in dire straits, we should express our feelings frankly regardless of the consequences. This is a problem." At this time, the emergence of Buddhism seems to have saved Su Dongpo from being bound a little. "Color is emptiness", a Buddhist thought, means that what people see, including people themselves, is nothing after all. According to this, people can live freely regardless of everything they know around them. But Su Dongpo's Confucianism came out, which is not allowed. Su Dongpo was born as a man with excellent understanding, but he can't live without the world. Su Dongpo must face the darkness of the imperial court and the dissatisfaction of the world, and must break through by himself. Su Dongpo was deeply influenced by the collision of Confucianism and Buddhism, and he did it. So that his optimism is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He doesn't need to retire or escape from this world. He devoted himself to nature, became a farmer, still shared happiness with the people and remained loyal to the monarch. The fire of his dissatisfaction and disappointment with the New Deal could hardly be extinguished, but Su Dongpo never gave up the country.
However, the more free and easy Su Dongpo lives, the more itchy his enemies are, and he desperately wants to kill Dongpo. This is the suffering brought to him by the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. But something similar to faith in Su Dongpo's heart made him survive the disaster. He broke out of his cocoon and became optimistic, sophisticated, gentle and calm, without changing his boldness and despair.
Su Dongpo has to say that he is a magical figure. After the perfect integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, they realized self-detachment and self-blooming in front of the enemy.
