A classic story about Wang Anshi and Su Shi?

First, when will the chrysanthemums fall?

When I was in Song Shenzong, there was a poet who could recite poems, write poems and even solve riddles on the lanterns. Zhong Ni was not reborn, but Stefanie was reborn.

This man is Su Dongpo, a household name. He is brilliant, unforgettable, eloquent, romantic in Li Taibai and agile in Cao Zijian. Become famous in one fell swoop, and the official worshipped the Hanlin bachelor. Su Dongpo thinks he is smart and often scoffs at Prime Minister Wang Anshi.

One day, Wang Anshi was writing a poem "Chanting Chrysanthemum" in his study. I had just written two sentences when I heard that Su Dongpo, who came back from Ren Gang, was visiting. As soon as Wang Anshi heard it, he knew that Su Dongpo's arrogance was hard to change. He deliberately left the last two sentences to tell his family, so he hid in his account.

Su Dongpo came to the study and his family told him to wait here. The family went to pour water for Su Dongpo. Su Dongpo felt bored in the study, so he glanced at the room and saw wet ink on the table and an unfinished poem "Chanting Chrysanthemum". The west wind crossed the garden last night, blowing yellow flowers and gold everywhere.

Su Dongpo read it and said to himself, What did he write? What nonsense. There are flowers all year round. The yellow flower is chrysanthemum, which blooms in late autumn. They belong to fire, only dare to fight with autumn frost, the most lasting. How can you say that yellow flowers are blown off the ground? What a mistake. Originated from poetry, I can't control it. I raised my pen and continued: autumn flowers are not better than spring flowers. I said I would sing with the poet carefully.

Su Dongpo also finished writing and regretted it. Let him go for the last time, it is: right and wrong are only for talking more, and troubles are all due to clever lips. I want to throw this manuscript away, but I am afraid that the Prime Minister will come to find it. Just then, Wang Anshi came out from behind the screen. Say hello to each other and sit down.

When Wang Anshi saw that the manuscript was finished, he called home and asked if it was continued by Su Dongpo. Wang Anshi thinks he doesn't know much about his talent. Tomorrow morning, Wang Anshi plays the role of emperor and distributes Su Dongpo to Yingyong, Huangzhou.

Su Dongpo knew that he had provoked Prime Minister Wang Anshi again and was released, but he was helpless. When leaving, Wang Anshi said to Su Dongpo: "My childhood was under the cold window lamp, and I was ill for a long time. If you want to find a folk prescription today, you must take it with midsummer martial arts water. When you come back, you must bring the old lady's water from the Three Gorges to decoct medicine. "

When Su Dongpo arrived in Huangzhou, he just climbed mountains and played with water, drinking and writing poems, which had nothing to do with military affairs and people's feelings. Time flies, and it's another year and late autumn. After a windy day, Su Dongpo went to the backyard to watch the Huang Jinju he cultivated. Su Dongpo took his friend Chen Jichang to see it.

When they came to the backyard, Su Dongpo was dumbfounded. For a long time, they didn't speak, only saw Jin Juhua everywhere. Su Dongpo suddenly realized why Wang Anshi let him go to Huangzhou, just because he didn't pretend to understand and continued his poems at random.

Second, the water in the middle canyon was wrongly mentioned.

Su Shi's demotion to Huangzhou is a foregone conclusion and is about to hit the road. Despite political differences, Gong Jing and Wang Anshi held a farewell banquet. During the dinner, Wang Anshi asked Su Shi for help. He said that my eyes were tired because I studied hard when I was a child and got eye diseases since I was a child.

A few days ago, Doctor Tai gave me a prescription to take the water from Qutangxia, the middle gorge of the Three Gorges. When I go to Huangzhou this time, I will go back and forth in and out of the Three Gorges. When you come back, please bring me an altar of water from Qutang Gorge. Su Shi thought it was a piece of cake and readily agreed.

After Su Shi came to Huangzhou, Ma Taishou came to see him that day, and the two of them were still enjoying flowers in the gazebo of Chrysanthemum Garden. Su Shi saw chrysanthemum fall into British nationality with his own eyes, and remembered that Wang Anshi's chrysanthemum poem was wrongly corrected and he was unhappy. The next day, Su Shi went to answer the question of worshipping Ma Taishou and told Ma Taishou that he had offended his teacher Wang Anshi by reading chrysanthemum poems last year.

Ma Taishou listened and said, "Then go and make amends to the old teacher!" Su Shi said awkwardly, "I want to go, but I have no job in Beijing!" " Can't go for no reason? Ma Taishou said with a smile, "I happen to have a congratulation form here for the Double Ninth Festival, which I want to send to Beijing." Go there. "And ask Su Shi to write a congratulatory form.

Dongpo was overjoyed. After thanking him, he remembered that Gong Jing wanted him to take water from Wuxia in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to treat his eye diseases. He thought, "We must do this well and make it up."

When we go to Beijing, we must go to the Three Gorges. Su Shi went on the road with the idea of "carrying water" in his heart. He thought that he should never forget it. At this time, it is the rainy season of autumn rain, and the water is very strong. The boat went down the river and there were thousands of scenes. Faced with this situation, Su Shi wanted to write a poem "Three Gorges Fu", but the idea of drinking failed, and he fell asleep unconsciously, and the matter of pumping water became a bubble.

As soon as he woke up, the boat arrived at Xiaxia Xiling Gorge, and he immediately remembered the matter of carrying water. He is going back to Wuxia to get water. The boatman thinks it is impossible for such a big water to go upstream. The ship stopped. Stone draws water from here? I went ashore and asked people, who replied that the water in the Three Gorges was the same, and everything there was delicious. After he came back, Su Shi ordered the boatman to make a jar of water and bring it back to Beijing.

Back in Beijing, Su Shi first came to Xiangfu to meet Wang Anshi, prepared to apologize for Ju Shi first, and then talked about carrying water. The apology went well, but the water was in trouble again. Su Dongpo had the water in the Guan Xia Gorge lifted up. Wang Anshi was very happy to see the water, and ordered people to boil water and make tea first. After a while, the family served tea.

For a long time, Wang Anshi saw the change of brown. Ask Su Dongpo, where is this water? Su Dongpo hurriedly said it was the water in the middle gorge. Wang Anshi smiled and said bluntly, "You lied to the old lady again! This is the water of Xiaxia. How can it be called midsummer? " Dongpo was frightened and asked how to tell. Wang Anshi asked him to look for Zhu's book on the shelf and asked him to look at a certain page.

Su Shi followed Wang Anshi's words and saw the saying that "the upper gorge tastes strong, the lower gorge tastes weak, and the middle gorge tastes neither strong nor weak". Wang Anshi said in detail: "The water quality of the Three Gorges originates from the supplementary note of Shuijing Note. The upper gorge is too fast, the lower gorge is too slow and the middle gorge is in the middle. The medical officer of Taiyuan Hospital is a famous doctor in the world, knowing that the old lady is ill and lives in Zhongwan, so it is appropriate to use the water in midsummer as an introduction.

This boiled Yangxian tea is thick in the upper gorge, light in the lower gorge and light in the middle gorge. It took a long time to turn brown today, so I knew it was Xiaxiashui. "Su Dongpo frighten forward, have to admit that this is Xia Xia's water. Dongpo admired teacher Wang Anshi.

It can be seen that Wang Anshi has read tens of thousands of books, and tens of thousands of classics are vivid to him, making him a genius in the world. Where's Su Shi? Right in the heart of Confucius: knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also.

Third, who can be right about strange couplets?

Back in Beijing, Su Shi first came to Xiangfu to meet Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi asked him what he saw in Huangzhou. Su Dongpo is ashamed. Wang Anshi said: "I am a little overwhelmed. I want to take Dongpo exam. You can open any book on my shelf. You read the last sentence and I'll take the next one. If I can't get it, I will be old and incompetent. "

Su Dongpo is very modest, thinking, there are tens of thousands of books in your study. If you don't believe you know everything, it's just a show. I took a book with a long history. I thought to myself, well, this is a book you haven't read for a long time, and you probably forgot it. I casually read: "Is Ruyi Jun happy?"

Wang Anshi replied, "I stole it." Su Dongpo was startled: "Exactly." Wang Anshi took the book: "How do you say this sentence?" Su Dongpo thought, people laughed at Wu Zetian and called Aocao Xue Ruyi Jun. But "I stole it" was wrong, so I was silent.

Wang Anshi said: "This is no secret. Why don't you know? " Su Dongpo blushed.

Wang Anshi said: "This is a short story. There is a fox hole behind Wugang Mountain in Changsha County, which is several feet deep. There are two heads of nine-tailed foxes in it. But it changed over time, and she often became a beautiful woman. When she met a man, she was lured to the cave to have fun. Slightly dissatisfied, eat separately. Later, a Liu Xi went into the mountains to collect herbs, and the second demon got them.

Making love at night, between pillows, two foxes are happy, which is called ruyijun. One day, the big fox came out for dinner, and the little fox was in the cave, making love, but it was not what he wanted. Fox was furious and vomited Liu Xi in his stomach. Did Hu Da get back to the topic and ask Ruyi Jun if he was happy? Fox answered the theft and spit it out. Two foxes are fighting and howling on the mountain. The woodcutter eavesdropped, with its details, recorded in the book at the end of Han Dynasty. "

Wang Anshi also ordered Shu Tong to show Su Dongpo a pen and paper, saying, "Don't take another exam, tell the old lady to make things difficult! Be a couple! It started in August this year, and there are two beginning of spring in December of the first month. On the other hand, it is:' February, spring and August a year, and spring and autumn are twice in the world. "

Although Su Dongpo was a genius, he couldn't answer this strange question after thinking for a long time, so he had to hand in a blank sheet of paper and was laughed at by Wang Anshi. But Wang Anshi himself did not show his bottom line at that time. Su Dongpo got "all", just like a mute eating coptis, with unspeakable suffering.

Hundreds of years later, it was not until the middle of Qing Dynasty that Liang Zhangju, an expert on couplets, gave a satisfactory bottom line: sixty-year-old flowers will meet again next Sunday, and people will meet again.

Wang Anshi added, "Outside Jinchang Gate in Suzhou, the area around Tiger Hill is called Shantang. In the meantime, it is about seven miles away, called Bantang. Runzhou was called Tiewengcheng in ancient times, adjacent to the great river, and is also known as the three mountains with Jinshan, Yinshan and Yushan.

Out of Suzhou, the couple said,' Qilishan pond, three and a half miles to Bantang.' A couple in Runzhou are:' Tieweng is west of the city, and there are three treasures of gold and silver mountains.' "This is strange, dongpo thought for a long time, a person can't, so we have to apologize.

This is the truth of "inexhaustible". All you can't finish reading are the books of the world. Inexhaustible "world principle!

Fourth,

Su Dongpo stayed in Huzhou for three years and returned to Beijing after three years. He thought that he had been demoted for offending Wang Anshi, and he had to visit Master Wang before returning to Beijing this time. Then go to see the son of heaven. So he rode to the prime minister's office. 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 was not dry yet. 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 flower blooms in late autumn, and its nature belongs to fire. Dare to fight with autumn frost is the most durable. 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.

After writing, Su Dongpo felt ashamed and revived. I thought: If Old Master Q came to the study and saw this poem, it would be ugly in front of me; I wanted to take it away with one sleeve, but I was afraid of implicating Xu Lun. It's quite disturbing to think about it. Had to still fold the poem, got off the inkstone box and stepped out of the study.

When he arrived at the gate, he said to the doorman, "When you come out, please tell him that Sue has been here for a long time. As I have just arrived in Beijing, I haven't tidied up my watch yet. I'll stamp my watch early tomorrow morning and come to see you again. " Say that finish riding away.

Soon, Wang Anshi entered the East Study Room, saw the manuscript of the poem, asked why, recognized Su Dongpo's handwriting, 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 beat the son of heaven and demote myself to the people. He thought, "Wait a minute, he doesn't know that the chrysanthemum in Huangzhou has lost its petals, and he can't blame him!" " Later, Xu Lun was asked to have a look at the official vacancy list of Huguang. 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.

Five,

Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo, both "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties", have different political views. Wang Anshi advocated political reform, but Su Dongpo disagreed, so the relationship between them was not good. During the reign of Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi was the prime minister, Su Dongpo was humble and frustrated, and even exiled to Hainan Island. ?

It is said that Wang Anshi once made a problem difficult for Su Dongpo. He wrote a couplet and asked Su Dongpo to make one. The couplet is:? One year, two spring months, two August, two spring and autumn. ?

It turned out that that year was leap August, and there was a solar term in beginning of spring in December of the first lunar month, which was really spring and autumn. In addition, the fourth word and the twelfth word of the couplet are "spring", which greatly increases the difficulty. ?

Although Su Dongpo was a wizard, he couldn't answer this strange question after thinking for a long time, so he had to hand in a blank sheet of paper and was laughed at by Wang Anshi. But Wang Anshi himself didn't show his bottom line at that time. Su Dongpo's "all" is like a dumb person eating coptis chinensis, and he can't say what he has suffered. ?

Hundreds of years later, it was not until the middle of Qing Dynasty that Liang Zhangju, an expert on couplets, gave a satisfactory couplet: Meet again on Sunday at the age of 60, and meet again on earth.
