Su Shi wrote two doggerel poems to his friends, which are easy to understand, without uncommon words, and humorous.

Su Shi, a literary elder brother in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a rare all-rounder in the history of ancient Chinese literature. His prose and poetry are handy, his calligraphy and painting are profound, and his lyrics are his strengths. Throughout the 300-year history of the Song Dynasty, if Su Shi claims to be the second in the ci world, it is estimated that no one dares to be the first, and Li Qingzhao and Xin Qiji are also slightly inferior. It seems that the failure of a gifted scholar is also the same fate of a scholar. Perhaps it is this kind of encounter and suffering that can stimulate their inner talents to the greatest extent and leave a classic for the future world.

Some people admire Su Shi's talent, and the heroic brushwork of "one river never returns, a romantic figure through the ages" can be compared with the poet Li Bai; Others appreciate Su Shi's optimistic attitude towards life. No matter what difficulties he meets, he always comes safely. Scholars usually give people the impression that they are old-fashioned and like to chew over words, but Su Shi is different. He often plays jokes on his friends and is also interested in writing limerick. For example, the following two poems are easy to understand, without uncommon words, and humorous.

Let's take a look at the first limerick, which is called "A pear blossom a begonia". Don't think it's a poem about pear blossoms and begonia flowers. Su Shi is cheerful and likes to make friends, who are all over the world, suitable for all ages. Zhang Xian is several rounds older than Su Shi, and they are worthy of the name. There is a joke that men are single-minded. When I was 20 years old, I liked 65,438+08 girls. I am 30 years old and still like girls with 65,438+08. Even in their sixties and seventies, they still like 18 girls. Zhang Xian is a typical representative.

Zhang Xian is a charming man, and his emotional experience is quite rich, which makes people envy and hate. One day, Su Shi received an invitation from his good friend Zhang Xian. It turned out that Zhang Xian was going to marry a concubine and invited Su Shi to a wedding banquet. With their relationship, Su Shi pushed everything aside and went to Zhang Xian's wedding happily. When I got there, I found that Zhang Xian's concubine was only eighteen, while Zhang Xian was eighty. Although this situation was not uncommon in ancient times, it also surprised Su Shi, thinking that his best friend was an old cow eating young grass.

On the wedding day, Zhang Xian thanked relatives and friends for coming, and raised glasses one after another. He came to Su Shi with a glass of wine and asked Su Shi to compose a poem, which was echoed by everyone. The so-called hospitality is hard to blame, so Su Shi casually wrote a poem: "Eighteen brides and eighty lang, white hair and red makeup. Two nights in the quilt, a pear tree pressed Haitang. " Everyone present laughed from ear to ear and praised Su Shi for being so talented, but Zhang Xian didn't get angry. He thought that Su Shi praised him for being old and strong, and since then, "a pear tree hits a begonia" has become an eternal story.

Let's take a look at Su Shi's second doggerel "Letter to Wu De Renhe and Jane Chen Jichang". Most of this poem is written for Wu Deren, but four poems are specially written for his good friend Chen Jichang. Chen Jichang is an official's son. His father is an official from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Industry. He is very rich and has more money than princes. All parts of the country are fertile land and beautiful houses, and he is a constant chauffeur.

Chen Jichang had nothing to do in his early years. He drank heavily and spent money like water in Picking up Girls. As he grew older, he gradually became calm and sensible, bought a residence in Huangzhou and lived a semi-secluded life. Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou for Wutai Poetry Case. Because he likes Buddhism, he got to know Chen Jichang and became like-minded friends. He often discusses Zen and poetry together.

Chen Jichang is hospitable and lavish in entertaining his friends. Every time a guest visits, you will find many beautiful young singers singing and dancing. Hospitality is an eye-opener. On one occasion, Chen Jichang, Su Shi and others were drinking, and Geji was dancing beside them. Chen Jichang's wife was jealous, but she couldn't get angry directly, so she beat the wall with wood to express her dissatisfaction.

Everyone is not a fool. Su Shi and others made excuses to leave, which embarrassed Chen Jichang, but he was afraid to be angry with his wife because he was afraid of her. A few days later, Su Shi wrote "A Letter to Wu Deren and Jane Chen Jichang", four of which wrote: "The laity in Longqiu is also pitiful. You can't sleep at night if you talk empty words. Suddenly I heard lion roars, and my staff fell into my palm. " He gave it to his friend Chen Jichang, mocking his wife's toughness and implying that he was afraid of his wife, so he left the idiom "The Lion Roar".
