Although I am using Han’s opera, I am writing it straightforwardly, and it must be attributed to this. Combined with Yueyang Tower, let’s talk about what “this refers to”

Even if you are joking and writing according to your nature, it must be attributed to this nature.

This sentence comes from Su Shi's "Preface to the Collected Works of Fan Wenzhenggong". It should be viewed in conjunction with the previous sentence: It is as hot as fire and as wet as water, which is inevitable due to its nature. Although he plays Han's drama, he does it straightforwardly, and this is where he will end up. Translation: Hot like fire, wet like water, this is what his nature has to do. Even if you write jokes and write according to your nature, it must be attributed to this nature.

Note

During the Tiansheng years, Duke Fan Wenzheng kept filial piety for his mother, and he already had the wish to achieve peace in the world, so he wrote a letter of ten thousand words to the prime minister to bring peace to the world. Everyone recited it. When he was appointed as a general and promoted to the position of governor, if we examine what he has done in his life, nothing can go beyond this book. He is loyal, filial, and loving to benevolence, justice, rituals, and music, just like a hungry and thirsty person to food and drink, which cannot be forgotten even for a moment.

He is as hot as fire and as wet as water. His nature has to be like this. Even if you write jokes and write according to your nature, it must be attributed to this nature. Therefore, people all over the world believed in his sincerity and rushed to learn from him and respect him.
