But Su Dongpo's teasing is not a crime or a stupid teasing, but an optimism and wisdom teasing. Let's talk about Su Dongpo's funny story.

Su Dongpo's criticism is funny. Colleague Shi Jie once wrote poems of three nobles, and praised the talents of Ouyang Xiu, Shi Yannian and Du Mo, saying that Ouyang Xiu was good at writing, Shi Yannian was good at writing poems and Du Mo was good at singing. Ouyang Xiu and Shi Yannian are both great talents and are called "Hao", which can be described as deserved. Du Mo was a student of Shi Jie, but his poems were poor and he often joked, so that later generations compared those who failed because of their words and deeds to "fabrication", and Du Zhe was Du Mo. Su Dongpo read Du Mo's "Six Farewell Roads" poem, which wrote: "Learn from the old dragon in the waves, and the blade is in front of the sage. Pushing down Mo Zhai and Yang Zhu and helping Duke Zhou of Zhong Ni. " This poetic talent without lasting appeal, like boiled water, was listed as one of the "three aristocrats" in the literary world by Shi Jie. Su Dongpo couldn't help joking: "I think Du's arrogance is the result of scholars drinking private wine, eating dead beef and getting drunk." Su Dongpo also recorded this in his book Dongpo Zhi Lin, and everyone in the world laughed.

Su Dongpo's association with friends is also very funny. He has a good friend named Liu? He was a scholar in Song Renzong in the Qing Dynasty. He was a magistrate of Cao Zhou, Yanzhou and Cai Zhou, and was a famous poet and historian. Su Dongpo and Liu? After a lifetime of traveling back and forth, they are the most congenial, and often sing poetry and drink together. Liu? Suffering from wind disease in old age, that is, leprosy. His beard fell off and his nose was broken, but this did not affect his interest in reading poems and drinking with friends.

Once, Liu? Invite some friends to have a drink at home. During the dinner, friends played with each other with that old couplet. When it was Su Dongpo's turn, he took care of Liu with Liu Bang's Song of the Wind. His illness jokingly said: "When the wind blows, eyebrows fly, and warriors guard their noses." Liu Bang and Liu? Homophonic, and the revised couplet has both rhythm and scene, and everyone who listens is laughing.

1089, Liu? Su Dongpo, who died of illness, said in the article "Remembering the disease of the old friend": "On the night of October 12, after a drum, the old friend (Liu? ) People with wind disease are so anxious that they can't speak. The life-and-death struggle of Yin and Yang teachers is even more tragic than those who saw wood with knives. I know it's hopeless. I just want to die. Hey! " Expressed the grief of losing a good friend.
