Creation background
The poem "Farewell to Dong Chuan" was given to Dong Chuan when Su Shi left office and Fengxiang signed a sentence to go to Bianjing and passed through Chang 'an.

Make an appreciative comment
Su Shi's "Farewell to Dong" may not be well known to ordinary readers, but the sentence "I am full of poems" is widely read because it classically expounds the relationship between reading and people's cultivation. Scholars in China have always regarded reading as an effective way to accumulate knowledge and increase learning. The function of reading is not only to possess knowledge, but also to enhance people's spiritual realm. In particular, frequent reading will, over time, make people break away from vulgar tastes and develop an elegant and refined temperament. Liang Zhangju, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, said: "People who are not bookish are vulgar and vulgar, and should not be listed among the literati." Facts have proved that people who study and those who don't study, those who read more and those who read less, show different internal qualities and qualities. "Having a poem in your belly" means reading a poem and being knowledgeable, and "Qi" can be understood as "temperament" or "mental outlook". The whole sentence focuses on "self", emphasizing that gorgeous temperament is the inevitable result of reading poetry books.
As far as Dong Chuan, a friend of Su Shi's farewell, "Qi" should not only refer to the elegance brought by reading, but also refer to the optimistic and open-minded attitude that ancient scholars respected when facing the frustration and embarrassment of life. Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius, can "eat and drink once in a while, in a mean alley" and "never change his pleasure". When Wang Bo was down and out in life, he sang, "Be poor and strong, and never fall into the blue sky." . Dong Chuan is very poor, but he always maintains an optimistic spirit and pursues his own goals in life, which can be seen from the sentence "I don't want to find a spring horse with an empty pocket". Obviously, Su Shi still appreciates Dong Chuan's attitude towards life. What you give to your friends when you leave is both a compliment and a comfort.
The sentence "boasting in poetic spirit" clarifies the inevitable connection between reading and elegant temperament, which is concise and won readers' love. Today, people quote it to show that reading and seeking knowledge can cultivate people's noble character and elegant temperament. It is also used to praise others for their profound knowledge and extraordinary tolerance.
