One of Su Shi's broadminded masterpieces, just four sentences are full of wisdom: if you have a good attitude, life will become a poem!

With the increasing economic strength of China, more and more people are studying Chinese in other countries and regions. "Learning Chinese" has gradually become a trend and is sought after by more and more people in the world. However, for many foreigners, Chinese is equivalent to Mandarin, and learning Chinese means learning Mandarin.

In fact, China has a vast territory, a long history and many ethnic groups. Except Mandarin, each region has its own different dialects. Of course, locals communicate in their own language. Therefore, when people from different regions communicate, if they don't use Mandarin, it will cause great obstacles, even misunderstandings and jokes.

This situation has existed since ancient times. For example, Su Shi, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a broad-minded poem because he didn't understand dialects and misunderstood the goodwill of others. Unexpectedly, it became an eternal swan song. This poem has only four short sentences, but it is a broad-minded work. It tells people that if you have a good attitude, you can live a poem! This poem is "a must in Huizhou", and the whole poem is as follows:

This poem was written in April 1096. At that time, the poet was nearly sixty years old, but he was banished to Huizhou, a more distant place in Lingnan. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Lingnan was mostly a wild place, and many guilty ministers were exiled here. From ancient times to the present, people from guests to ministers often write many lamentations. However, Su Shi is not. He is still optimistic and open-minded, happy with the situation, and wrote two sonnets. This is one of the songs.

This poem has a very interesting origin. According to the report, Su Shi is an out-and-out Sichuan wretched who can't understand Cantonese. After arriving in Lingnan, he fell in love with a local specialty, that is litchi. Litchi is sweet and juicy, very delicious, very common in the local area and cheap. As a result, Mr. Lao Su was unscrupulous and ate endlessly.

As we all know, litchi is delicious, but it is easy to get angry and can't be eaten more. Therefore, the local villagers kindly warned him: one litchi, three fires. As a result, because Su Shi didn't know Cantonese, he took the advice of his fellow villagers as a kindness and thought he was asking him to eat more. So there is a saying that "300 lychees a day, do not hesitate to be a Lingnan person".

Whether the rumor is true or not, at least we can get a glimpse of Mr. Dongpo's mental outlook from this poem. After Su Shi was relegated to Lingnan, the Qingyuan Army had only one deputy commander, who was idle and had no real power. Therefore, he just wandered around and observed the scenery everywhere, but he had a deep love for Lingnan. This song "Eat Litchi" is a good proof.

The whole poem is fresh and refreshing, vivid and touching. The first two sentences describe the scenery and the last two sentences express feelings, which are the classics of Su Shi's broad-minded in his later years. The first sentence "Four Seasons in Luofu Mountain" describes the unique geographical and climatic characteristics of Lingnan in simple and clear language. There are four seasons like spring in Lingnan, and the weather is warm. In April, Luofu Mountain is full of spring. Mount Luofu, a famous mountain in Lingnan, is picturesque and beautiful all year round.

The second sentence "Lu Juyang Mei is the second new" accurately and vividly describes the rich characteristics of Lingnan products. Lingnan has a hot and humid climate, which is very suitable for the growth of plants, so there are many kinds of fruits. Loquat and Huangmei are ripe and fresh every day at this time. The "Lu Ju" in this sentence is not an orange, but a loquat. A second novelty not only describes the characteristics that loquat and Huangmei have matured successively, but also expresses the author's love for Lingnan.

"300 lychees a day, do not hesitate to grow up to be a Lingnan person" is the most popular sentence, which is a famous sentence of this poem that has been passed down through the ages. Su Shi is famous for his delicious food in history. It is really a great pleasure for Su Shi to eat so many sweet and juicy lychees after coming to Lingnan. So he couldn't help sighing: If I can eat 300 lychees every day, I really want to be a Lingnan person forever.

On the surface, this sentence means that the poet likes litchi very much. But the reality is that people can't eat so many lychees a day. Because lychees are hot, they eat a lot of fire, and they eat 7 or 8 a day. Obviously, exaggeration is used here; In addition, although the poem shows the poet's deep affection for Lingnan, it is also a hymn of life that turns sorrow into joy.

Su Shi was nearly sixty at this time, but he was demoted again. In ancient times, when the traffic was inconvenient, it was basically the same as forever. But at this time, Su Shi was in a calm mood, and had long since lost the frustration and depression of "cooking cold dishes on the open space and burning reeds on the broken stove", and was indifferent and quiet, enjoying life. It is really important to have a good attitude. Only in this way can he live happily and poetically wherever he goes.
