There is a poem from Dongpo: "Poetry does not seek technical skills but is not strange. Innocence is my teacher." It comes from Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Poems".
There is a poem from Dongpo: "Poetry does not ask for work or wonder, innocence is my teacher." Innocence is like that, without the heat and coolness of the world, without the sorrow and anger in the heart, without the struggles of the world. Fresh and lively, it is so intoxicating, and every word is permeated with harmony and beauty. Although sometimes it is so naughty that it makes people angry, but it is childish and simple, lively and curious, and makes people feel so cute. These are all poets One should learn and follow.
"Han Shi Tie" is also known as "Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Post" or "Huangzhou Cold Food Post". It is a poem written by Su Shi, ink on plain paper, 34.2 cm in width, 18.9 cm in length, and written in running script. Seven lines, 129 words, now in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
At that time, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou for the biggest literary prison in the Song Dynasty. During the Cold Food Festival in the third year, he wrote two five-character poems: "I have been in Huangzhou for three cold food days. Every year I want to cherish spring, but spring is gone. No pity. It rains again this year, and the autumn is bleak. I lie down and hear the begonia flowers, and the muddy swallows are carrying the snow in the dark. It is really strong in the middle of the night. The illness has begun to turn white." The rain is coming. The hut is like a fishing boat, and there are cold dishes in the empty kitchen, and the wet reeds are cooked in the empty stove. However, the king's gate is nine deep, and the tomb is thousands of miles away. , I can’t afford it.”
This post is a masterpiece of Su Shi’s running script. This is a poem of excitement, a sigh of life written by Su Shi on the Cold Food Festival in the third year after he was demoted to Huangzhou. The poem is desolate and sentimental, expressing Su Shi's melancholy and loneliness at this time. The calligraphy of this poem was inspired by this mood and situation. The calligraphy throughout the text is full of ups and downs, radiant and unrestrained, without any rash strokes. "Han Shi Shi Tie" has a great influence on the history of calligraphy. It is called "the third running script in the world" and is also the best among Su Shi's calligraphy works.
