Perilla-Jiangzhou Sima
"Perilla frutescens" is Su Shi, which is a word claimed by the author in "Red Cliff Fu". Ancient people like to call themselves "sons", and they also like to be called by others, because people who can call themselves "sons" must have good social prestige or moral ability. Su Shi calls himself "Perilla frutescens", which means "Su Shi, I'm still a prominent person".
"Jiangzhou Sima" is Bai Juyi's self-proclaimed word in Pipa Xing. Jiangzhou was Bai Juyi's relegation place at that time, and Sima was Bai Juyi's relegation place in Jiangzhou. Bai Juyi calls himself "Jiangzhou Sima", which means self-mockery.
In short, in these two articles, the author wrote in the third person. The advantage of this writing is that it can describe the thoughts and feelings of others and authors as objectively and comprehensively as possible, and is not limited by subjective emotions and perspectives.
