Why do I like Su Shi?

Everyone says that Su Shi is a foodie.

however, as a foodie, he is different. Compared with other foodies who show off their food, Su Shi is very simple.

He wrote "Pork Fu" in Huangzhou because pork is extremely cheap there. He cooks pork, saying that little water is needed, little fire has no flame, don't rush, and when the heat is enough, he is beautiful.

when he was in lingnan, he could not buy mutton, but only sheep bones. I am also very happy to write and brag that the sheep bones are slightly roasted with wine, and the meat is broken, such as eating crabs. The rich people don't understand this kind of happiness.

when he was in Hainan, even rice was in short supply, so he proudly thought, "Tomorrow, my boss will be a sacrificial stove, and only a chicken fight will save me." -going to have a Hainan chicken rice.

when he eats barbecue, he doesn't pick and choose: "I can't cut the burnt meat, and I want to chase after Xi."

he can also eat something light: "rotten fragrant white fish fat, broken sweet wormwood, cool cake and smooth."

In essence, Su Shi's pleasure in eating is all pleasure in suffering.

He summed it up himself:

"On the one hand, nothing is precious, on the other hand, going to bed early is rich, on the other hand, walking slowly is a car, and on the other hand, eating at night is meat."

Go to bed early, stroll more, and eat later. All right.

they are all poor ways, but he can live elegantly.

The story that best reflects Su Shi's poverty and elegance is that when he sent someone away, he had no money to buy wine, so he had to give someone a spring to drink:

"When I left, I had no money or wine, so I advised you to have a glass of Bodhisattva Spring." .

But when he advised the spring water, he always said,

"Where can you bow your head and not see me?" The quartet is in the same water. "

-this sentence is very open-minded: after you left, you can see me everywhere. All the water in the four directions reflects the same sky.

he really thinks so. After being demoted to Huangzhou, Su Shi lived in Lingao Pavilion, when he was very chic:

"Ten steps down Lingao Pavilion, there is a big river, and the other half is Emei Snow Water. I eat and bathe, so why go home? "

In A Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu said:

"This Wang Shipeng doesn't make sense either. No matter where a sacrifice is made, you must come to the riverside to do something! As the saying goes,' Seeing things and thinking about people', the water in the world always comes from the same source. No matter where the water is, take a bowl and watch it cry, and you will enjoy it. "

According to Sister Lin's standards, Su Shi is very knowledgeable.

We all say that Su Shi is good. In fact, come to think about it: poetry and calligraphy, he may not be better than Huang Tingjian; Painting, Mi Fei and his son are also above him; The article is very good, but the old people of that era are very good.

what is good about Su Shi? Poet, painter, gourmet, essayist, gifted scholar, wine maker, pen maker ...

In the final analysis, Su Shi is one of the most outstanding appreciators and appreciators in history. And he can also describe his feelings and appreciation with a very understanding attitude.

As we all know, it is the legend of Huangzhou that contributed to his understanding, openness and elegance. Su Zhe himself said that Su Shi's writings since Huangzhou could not be pursued by himself-Su Zhe was one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, but he said that he could not be pursued, which shows that Su Shi was in a high position at that time.

Su Shi has always been a wise man in his early years, writing all kinds of essays on businessmen and Liu Hou, and writing such "beautiful poems" as "a spring night is worth a thousand dollars" (as Yang Wanli said). But also like to tell cold jokes and make fun of others (this problem will not change until death). Ouyang Xiu decided that Su Shi would become famous in the world sooner or later. But because Su Shi is too smart, he loves accidents.

Feng Menglong wrote "Wang Jinggong's Three Difficulties with Su Xueshi", saying that Su Shi didn't know that the wind in Huangzhou blew petals off, and he changed Wang Anshi's sentence that "the west wind blew over the garden last night, and yellow flowers fell all over the ground". As a result, Wang Anshi matched Huangzhou with a stroke.

This is similar to most folk stories with Su Shi as the protagonist: Su Shi is said to be "too clever", and finally he has learned a lesson to warn the world not to be too clever and so on.

But in fact, when Su Shi arrived in Huangzhou, he was not in his prime: he was 44 years old. My father, Su Xun, passed away fourteen years ago, and the popular "Ten Years of Life and Death" was written five years ago.

At the age of p>38, he wrote "Hunting in Mizhou". At that time, he was "crazy as a teenager" and "his temples were slightly frosty, so what's the harm?" .

By the time he arrived in Huangzhou at the age of 44, Su Shi had been "tired of writing for me all his life, and he never lost his reputation." I've missed my life for cleverness.

He first arrived in Huangzhou and lived in Dinghuiyuan, which is the place where lonely sandbar is cold. That queci is extremely sad, which shows his mood.

Later, Su Shi often went to ankokuji, especially to take a bath there. There was a Jianlian monk who said to him, "Knowing enough is not humiliating, knowing enough is not dangerous." At that time, he began to practice some meditation seriously.

"Dongpo" was opened in Huangzhou, and after farming, Su Shi began to understand Tao Yuan. Huang Tingjian said: "There are thousands of people in Yuanming, and there are hundreds of people in Dongpo. The source is different and the flavor is similar. " Su Shi himself wrote, "I am ashamed of this childish Sichuan Weng, who has been with me for thousands of years." Draw me and Yuanming, and you can make a three-person map. "

In the later period of Huangzhou, Su Shi wrote poems on the red wall before and after, Nian Nujiao, Night Tour to Chengtian Temple, and "Going home, no rain or shine". The sharp-edged intelligence has been cut and become clear, but there is nothing to be discouraged.

when he wrote about Lingao Pavilion, "The wind and the moon in the river are impermanent, and the leisure is the master", which is actually similar to "Only the breeze in the mountains and the bright moon on the river are the endless hiding of this creator, and my son and I are * * * suitable" in Qianchibi Fu.

At this point, he is somewhat like Tao Yuanming, but he doesn't live alone. Still smart, but naturally; Very happy, very self-deprecating, very sweet, romantic, clear and clear, follow one's inclinations. Therefore, Su Zhe thinks that after his brother Huangzhou, "nothing else can chase".

So in Lingao Pavilion, he came to say:

"Dongpo lay drunk and full of food, leaning on a few chairs, white clouds circling left, Qingjiang turning right, heavy doors opening, forests and mountains branching in. When it is, if you think without thinking, you will be prepared for everything. Shame, shame. " It's a tone of relief and self-mockery.

Su Shi started Dongpo and worked as a farmer himself. East of Huangzhou, there are three rooms on the hillside and more than ten acres of land. Write a poem to Kong Pingzhong and say:

"Last year, Dongpo picked up rubble and planted 3 feet of Huang Sang. This year, the grass covered the Xuetang, and the sun was blowing like ink. "

picking rubble, planting trees, building houses, and getting a sunburn. Dongpo, from then on with him.

when he first went to huangzhou, he was extremely poor. In order to cut off my shopping hand, I take 4.5 thousand yuan at the beginning of each month and hang it on the beam in 3 parts, but I dare not exceed 15 yuan every day. When you want to use it, choose a piece with a cross. So:

"Never break the kettle and jump into the river to fish, only Qing poetry mocks rice".

"A hut is like a fishing boat, swimming in a water cloud. Cooking cold vegetables in the air, breaking the stove and burning wet reeds. "

He began to study Dongpo pork, partly because pork in Huangzhou was "as cheap as dirt". Therefore, "the rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't understand cooking." He started thinking about eating meat. The main trick is to patiently boil water, and when the heat is enough, he will be beautiful. It is estimated that he will clap his hands and laugh when he marries Song Huilian from Jin Ping Mei to cook pig's head. This man is too fond of pork. He gargles with pork every morning for breakfast. It's really greasy. Although there is Dongpo meat in Hangzhou as a famous dish in various museums, its origin is really Huangzhou.

Su Shi is a true genius, seeing everything in hundred schools of thought. But before I went to Huangzhou, I was still a little Confucian. When writing "On Chao Cuo", he also said: "Those who have made great achievements in ancient times are not only talented, but also have perseverance."

but when he arrived in huangzhou, the water and gas drifted away. He went to ankokuji to take a bath, and wrote:

"Why not just forget the filth, but also wash the honor and disgrace? Don't talk more about it, you should be familiar with this concept. "

On the Mid-Autumn Festival that year when he went to Huangzhou, he wrote a poem that began:

"The world is a big dream, and life is cool several times."

Then, the most legendary poems appeared.

Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia is well known. When this word was written, he had been in Huangzhou for more than two years. His temper, don't care whether Huangzhou Chibi war site, casually sang.

There are many beauties in this word, but the characteristic of Huangzhou is that "river of no return" opened the door, and after "scouring heroes" and "picturesque mountains and rivers", it floated to the end and received the words "Wandering in the Old Country, Affectionate Ying Xiao Wo".

This clear harvest of Xiao San is a decisive difference between Su Shi and the past. It's not Su Shi in Mizhou who can "carve a bow like a full moon, look northwest and shoot a Sirius". If so, the first half of the ci presents a kind of high-pitched, clear-cut, open and vigorous, which is determined by Su Shi's boldness and talent; However, at the end, he was sentimental, depressed and broad-minded, as well as the lofty atmosphere that runs through the whole word. It can be said that the two-year experience in Huangzhou brought Su Shi this freedom.

"Former Red Cliff Fu" and "Niannujiao" were written in the summer of the same year. In the name of fu, it has rhyme, but it is not limited to four wives and six wives. There are prose brushwork, the length is uneven, the rhyme is combined, and the sweat is fluent. Don't mention famous sentences like clouds.

the beauty is also the second half.

if it only ends with "the legacy resounds in hentai", then the realm of this article is only "lofty and ancient". The essence of the full text is from "Su Zi Yue" to the end.

In the second half of "Former Red Cliff Fu", the realm is high:

"Gai will look at it from its own changes, then heaven and earth can't be instantaneous; If you look at it from its unchangeable point of view, then things and I are endless, and what are you jealous of? "

in this passage, there is a metaphysical thought that transcends the mundane and reaches the universe; And "it is the creator's endless hiding, and my son and I are in the right place" is the follow-up of the original "the river is romantic and the idle is the master".

Fu on the Former Red Cliff is incarnated in two. The dialogue between "Ke" and "Su Zi" is actually more like asking yourself and answering, and in the end, "Su Zi" wins, starting with music and ending with music. Compared with the self-mockery at the end of Niannujiao, the ending of Qianchibi Fu is much brighter and rounder, so the ending is "the guest smiles with joy", which is the brightness of "I don't know if the East is white".

lotte know life, from what you want, there is no trace of antelope hanging on the horn, and this is the end of it.

There is a wonderful similarity in the three poems of Chibi: at the end, they will pull out the void and play with themselves.

having fun is the supreme state.

"Night Tour to Chengtian Temple", "The courtyard is as empty as water, and the water is covered with bamboo and cypress. Which night has no moonlight? Which place does not have bamboo and cypress? But few idle people are like my ears. "

classic Zen metaphors need not be mentioned. However, just like the Three Poems of Chibi, comparing the moon with the stagnant water, and entering the meaning of emptying the floating at the end of the Three Poems of Chibi, it also completes Su Shi's own taste of "doing what he should do, stopping at what he can't stop".

If you pay attention to the changes of Su Shi's mind, it is very interesting:

When I first went to Huangzhou, it was very bleak:

I refused to live after picking up all the cold branches, and lonely sandbar was cold.

After staying for a while, I began to laugh at myself:

You shouldn't even knock at the door, but lean on your stick and listen to the sound of the river. Since then, the boat has passed away, and Jianghai has sent the rest of his life.

in the second half, he leaned on his staff and listened to the sound of the river alone, thinking about it alone, thinking about it for the rest of his life. At this time, his self-deprecating Xiao San's casual strength has flourished.

after staying for a while, he began to be carefree, and he has already begun to say:

A little noble spirit, a thousand miles is fast.

finally, he wrote the following sentence: who is afraid, a misty rain will last a lifetime.

when I go home, there will be no rain or shine.

this last one is preceded by a note saying: "On March 7th, when it was raining in Shahu Road, the rain gear went first, and all the colleagues were in a mess. I didn't realize it, but it cleared up and pretended to be this word. " March, that is, four months before the writing of Qian Chibi Fu.

After that, the three poems of Chibi and Chengtian Temple have entered the realm of "endless hiding of the creator".

Personally, Su Shi's greatest influence on me is a small joke.

Su Shi once climbed a mountain and saw a pavilion halfway up the mountain. He wanted to go up and have a rest. After climbing for a long time, he was exhausted and looked at the pavilion in despair. Suddenly, I thought, "What's there to rest here?" -why not sit down and rest on the spot?

then, like a fish, it is free.

This is his posture after Huangzhou, and it is also the happiest appearance of human beings, isn't it?

just rest, eat, walk and write freely. How nice it is to be happy and frugal?

After all, all water is a source, and there is no rain or shine. After all, the breeze and bright moon are the creator's endless treasures. After all, you can stay everywhere. After all, the bright moon, pine and cypress only need idle people to enjoy it.

after all, everything is in a change of heart.

leave when you should, stop when you should, and rest when you should.

to understand this, with such an example, people will not suddenly fly, but will relax a lot.

it's for su Shi. What we like about him is not poetry, calligraphy and painting, but his eternal bright joy, right?
