Thoughts on reading Su Dongpo's biography
I am reading Su Dongpo's biography written by Mr. Lin Yutang recently. What do you think of when you mention Su Dongpo? Maybe you will blurt out: I wish people a long time and a thousand miles of good scenery. Or it can be said that he is one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. For foodies, Dongpo meat may be mentioned, as well as "300 lychees a day, even if you are a Lingnan person". In his book, Mr. Lin Yutang said: When Su Dongpo is mentioned, there will be a cordial and admiring smile on China people's faces. This is an optimist whose temperament is hard to change, a versatile genius! Next, I will talk about what I know about Su Dongpo at present.

He was the first male god in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote poems and was called Su Huang with Huang Tingjian. Write words, together with Xin Qiji, called Su Xin; Writing prose can also be written as eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties; Painting, together with Mi Fei and other four people, is called Song Sijia. He is not only an all-rounder in literature and art, but also a politician, a gourmet, a health expert and a Buddhist. Multiple identities are simply modern "slash male gods". And after reading this book, according to the introduction in the book, the empresses in the Northern Song Dynasty are all die-hard fan of Su Dongpo, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is the first male god in the Northern Song Dynasty!

He became famous at a young age and took the imperial examination at the age of 20. The examiner was Ouyang Xiu, a literary leader at that time. Su Dongpo wrote an article "On Forgiveness and Simple Administration" at that time. Ouyang Xiu enjoyed it very much after reading it. He said that I knew the person who wrote this article, and it must have been written by my good friend Ceng Gong. In order to avoid suspicion, he ranked the person who wrote this article in the second place. Later, after the list was published, he knew that this person was called Su Shi. Later, after reading his article, Ouyang Xiu said: Reading Dongpo's letter always makes me cry and sweat. The old man should make way for him and let him stand up.

However, the talented Su Dongpo seems to bring his own black constitution. Lin Yutang said in his book: Su Dongpo is a wise man in great matters and a fool in small matters. But unfortunately, life is often made up of small things. Therefore, Su Dongpo, who was outspoken, often wrote poems and vomited, which led to imprisonment, namely the famous "Wutai Poetry Case". Since Wang Anshi's political reform, factional struggles have been fierce, and Su Dongpo has not been spared. His political opponents have long been dissatisfied with him. Knowing that he loves to write poems, they made a fuss about his poems. Su Dongpo was transferred from Xuzhou to Huzhou, and it is customary to write a thank-you letter. Why don't you write honestly? ! No, a great writer like Su Da, because of our character, had to say a few words at the end of the letter. As a result, he was caught by his political opponents and said that he despised the court. That's not all. He also picked out the articles he had written one by one, saying that he was not loyal to the monarch and must be sentenced to death. So the Wutai Poetry Case became the turning point of Su Shi's whole fate, and he was dismissed from his post for investigation and sent to Beijing. There was a joke during the period. Su Dongpo and his son Mai Su agreed to send rice and meat at ordinary times, and to send a fish once the situation outside was severe. One day, Mai Su couldn't deliver the meal, so he entrusted a friend to go. My friend didn't know the secret code of the father and son, so he sent a smoked fish to Su Dongpo to improve his food. Su Dongpo's face changed when he saw it was a fish, and he thought it was really dead this time. I didn't expect this article to be fatal Su Dongpo, who learned that he was critically ill, wrote two poems and gave them to his younger brother Ziyou. These two poems are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and both write about his guilt for the emperor and how he is not. Later, when these two poems were seen by the emperor, they were greatly moved and sentenced Su Dongpo lightly. Exempted from the death penalty, he was banished to Huangzhou.

At this time, Su Dongpo, with a humble official position and no real power, was a political idle person. He traveled around and wrote many famous articles, such as Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia. Now think about it carefully, these are all articles that Chinese teachers need to recite in full at school! In Huangzhou, Su Shi took off his gown and put on a short coat. He works on the slope in the east of the city to support his family. He became an out-and-out farmer, and his nickname Dongpo lay man came from this! Four years later, his die-hard fan, the Empress Dowager, reused him, making his official position only one step away from the position of prime minister, but the good times did not last long. After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, who trusted him, Su Dongpo once again became a victim of partisan struggle. Since then, he has either been demoted or is in the process of being demoted. ...

Can you not hate people? After being demoted to Huizhou, this brother made a circle of friends: 300 lychees a day, even if you are a Lingnan person! Well, since life is so comfortable, let's downgrade it again. So, this time, I suddenly fell to Hainan! Su Dongpo is 60 years old at this time. The environment is so bad, even when roasting oysters, he said to me: I am from Hainan, and I am parasitic in Xishufu! Brother Dongpo, you should be at home everywhere!

After reading this book, my understanding of Su Shi has also changed with the passage of time, from the first male god in the Northern Song Dynasty to the first online celebrity in the Northern Song Dynasty, and finally became the first tragedy in the Northern Song Dynasty! Can it not be miserable? Being an official for 40 years, being demoted for 30 years, losing his wife in middle age and his children in old age, and almost losing his head during this period.

With such ups and downs and an ill-fated life, Su Dongpo always takes pleasure in suffering and is extraordinary. In the lowest life situation, live the highest life realm! Su Shi's body will disappear, but his spirit will become the stars in the sky and the rivers on the earth, shining, nourishing and maintaining everything in the afterlife!
