Ma Shaoliang revised his poems.

On one occasion, Su Dongpo went to Wu Zhai, Wang Anshi's study, to look for Wang Anshi. When Wang was away, he saw a poem written in only two sentences on the desk of Wu Zhai-"The moon crows several times, and the yellow dog lies in his heart." Su Dongpo looked and looked, wondering. How do you call the bright moon in the branches? How can a yellow dog lie on a flower heart? Thought it was wrong. So I changed my pen and changed the poem to "The moon shines in the sky and the yellow dog lies in the shade." After Wang Anshi came back, he was extremely dissatisfied with Su Shi's revision of his poems and demoted him to Hepu.

After Su Dongpo arrived in Hepu, one day, he went out for a walk and saw a group of children around a pile of flowers, shouting, "Yellow dog Rollo, black dog Rollo, come out quickly!" Rollo rollo.

"Out of curiosity, Su Dongpo went over and asked the child what to shout. The child said, let's call the bug out quickly so as to catch it. Su Dongpo looked closely at the flower and saw several yellow and black insects as big as sesame crawling in the stamen. Ask the child again what kind of bug is this? The child said: yellow dog bug, black dog bug. Su Dongpo left the flowers and came to a banyan tree. He met a crisp birdsong and asked others, what is this birdsong? Others replied: this is called the bright moon bird. At this time, Su Dongpo suddenly realized that he had wrongly corrected Wang Anshi's poems.

Another time Su Dongpo visited Wang Anshi. When Su Dongpo came to Xiangfu, Wang Anshi was sleeping and was led by the housekeeper Xu Lun to Wang Anshi's east study for tea.

After Xu Lun left, Su Dongpo saw that the bookcases on all sides of the wall were closed and locked. There were only pens and inkstones on the table, but nothing. He opened the inkstone box and saw that it was a green inkstone, which was very radiant. The ink in the inkstone pool is still wet. I tried to cover it, but suddenly I saw a paper corner under the inkstone box. When I took it out, it turned out to be two unfinished poems, and I recognized the poem "Chanting Chrysanthemum" written by Prime Minister Wang. Su Dongpo did Sarah laugh: Don't say goodbye for three days, don't have a hole in the sky. When he was an official in Beijing, the old teacher wrote thousands of words without thinking. Three years later, it's different. This poem has only written two sentences, but it has never been rhymed. It seems that Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents. Su Dongpo picked it up and read it again:

Last night, the west wind swept through the garden, blowing off yellow flowers and gold everywhere.

Su Dongpo's ridicule of these two poems is nonsense. He thinks that the wind is famous all year round: spring is a gentle wind, summer is a fragrant wind, autumn is a golden wind, and winter is a north wind. The first sentence of this poem says that the west wind belongs to gold and the autumn is popular. With the golden wind, the leaves are yellow and the fragrance is scattered. The yellow flower mentioned in the second sentence is chrysanthemum. This kind of flower blooms in late autumn, and its nature belongs to fire. It can last most if you dare to fight with autumn frost. With the increase of age, it will burn dry and will not fall. Isn't it wrong to say "yellow flowers blow to the ground" Su Dongpo can't do whatever he wants, he can only lick the ink with a pen and continue the poem according to rhyme:

Flowers in autumn are not better than those in spring, so talk to poets carefully.

A little while later, Wang Anshi went into the east study room, saw the manuscript of the poem, asked the reason, recognized Su Dongpo's handwriting, said nothing, and hesitated in his heart: "Su Dongpo is still frivolous despite repeated setbacks." Qu Yuan's Lisao contains the poem "Evening Banquet and Autumn Chrysanthemum". He refused to admit that he was a poor scholar, but laughed at the old man! Tomorrow morning, I will play the son of heaven and lower my rank for the people. "He thought," Wait a minute, he doesn't know that the chrysanthemum in Huangzhou has lost its petals, and he can't be blamed! ""Later, Xu Lun was asked to have a look at Huguang's official vacancy register. As a result, it was found that only Huangzhou area lacked a representative Ying Yong. In the early morning of the next day, the Prime Minister Wang secretly played the son of heaven. Su Dongpo was too weak and was demoted to Huangzhou. Only Su Dongpo has personal grievances against Wang Anshi's change of poetry. There is nothing I can do but be grateful.

The next day, Su Dongpo left Beijing and arrived in Huangzhou on a starry night.

Su Dongpo made friends with Shunk Chen Jichang in Huangzhou. However, hiking, drinking, writing poems, military affairs and people's feelings have nothing to do with autumn. Time flies, and it's another year. On September 1st, when the weather was fine, Su Dongpo suddenly remembered, "The dean of Dinghuiyuan once gave me several kinds of chrysanthemums to plant in the backyard. Why not enjoy it today? " When Chen Jichang visited, Dongpo was overjoyed and took him to the back garden to see chrysanthemums. Walking under the chrysanthemum stand, I saw gold all over the ground and no flowers on the branches. Su Dongpo was too surprised to speak. Chen Jichang asked, "Why is Zi Zhan so surprised to see the petals of chrysanthemum drop?" Su Dongpo said: "I often don't know the season. I generally think that this flower is just anxious and does not fall. " Last year, when I was in Prime Minister Wang's mansion, I saw his poem "Chanting Chrysanthemum" which said: "Last night, the west wind crossed the garden, blowing yellow flowers everywhere." My younger brother only said that Old Master Q made a mistake, and he added two sentences: "Autumn flowers are not as good as spring flowers, so be careful to sing with poets." . But I don't know that the chrysanthemum in Huangzhou really fell! The old prime minister demoted me to Huangzhou to show me chrysanthemums! Chen Jichang smiled: "Yes! "Su Dongpo sighed:" My brother was demoted, and I only thought it was a personal grudge of Prime Minister Wang. Who knew he was good? I was wrong. I will be modest and prudent in the future and will not laugh at others easily. Alas, it's really nothing, you haven't gained wisdom! "

Later, Su Dongpo went to Beijing to apologize to Wang Anshi.
