Book Review: The Way to Keep Healthy —— Su Dongpo's Old Man (Reading Su Dongpo's Biography)
Chen Liwei?

Su Dongpo, whom we are familiar with, is a generation of writers and politicians. However, Su Dongpo is also a master of health care. After Su Dongpo went to Lingnan for the second time, he was pessimistic. Some hardships made him interested in life.

? In the last chapter, Lin Yutang wrote that Su Dongpo could make wine. As a master winemaker, he has a strong interest in natural wine. In Huizhou, Su Dongpo found that every household has its own home brew. From then on, he became interested in the local cinnamon wine. In his article, Lin Yutang described this wine as "slightly sweet without going to the head, which can replenish qi and tonify the spirit". So Su Dongpo also wrote some wine poems. Su Dongpo also makes his own wine. In a letter to a friend, he talked about the practice of "real wine". It can be seen that a small Huizhou has created a generation of winemakers. This kind of interest was never seen by Su Dongpo when he was bound by officialdom politics. Just like their own wine, the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe now show their talents in life one after another.

? Su Dongpo can not only make wine, but also refine elixir and make homemade herbs. Not only that, he is very interested in Taoist magic. A generation of writers has dabbled in so much. He once cured his hemorrhoids by reading medical books by himself. It is because of so many advantages that he and Wang Chaoyun have become a much-told story, and there is a beautiful love story-Wang Chaoyun is also interested in Taoism's immortality. After Wang Chaoyun died, he built his own house. Gaifa started a fashion. Su Dongpo's life in Huizhou is still quite happy. Because there is a "whatever fruit you want", the scenery is charming and naturally close to Su Dongpo's simple and clumsy heart, which naturally makes Su Dongpo master these skills. This is Su Dongpo, who was born naturally in Huizhou.

? However, things will never be smooth sailing. This time he was exiled to Hainan. Hainan was not suitable for living at that time. Summer is very hot and humid, and there is miasma. Su Dongpo once saw many dead termites on his bedpost. But even so, Su Dongpo can still enjoy suffering. In his Miscellaneous Notes, he wrote about how to absorb sunlight to fight hunger. He almost burned down the house when he made his own ink. There, he can talk like a child and get along well with the locals. All these helped Su Dongpo spend the rest of his life in a harsh environment, so that he was not impatient when he encountered difficulties and remained calm. The hardship of Hainan Island once again promoted Su Dongpo's spiritual realm.

The way to preserve one's health is not only as simple as soaking Chinese wolfberry and eating red dates, but also because it is the spiritual realm of learning to live and still pursuing the interest of life in difficulties. Su Dongpo did this well.
