What do you mean, "life is not satisfactory, but I have never read Su Dongpo"?

Su Shi experienced three times in Korea, three times as foreign minister, three times being demoted, and countless other disappointments and setbacks in his life, but he was never knocked down or crushed by these "dark forces". On the contrary, whenever the feeling of sadness strikes, he can quickly calm his mind, resolve his sadness, and face setbacks "happily", showing us a handsome, open-minded and frustrated person.

Therefore, the world sighs: "If life is unsatisfactory, it is only because you have not read Su Dongpo." It is to tell people that life is not smooth sailing, and they should learn from Su Dongpo. No matter what the situation is, we should be a person who can let go of the past, face the reality and enjoy the happiness of the present.

Lotte temperament

When he was demoted to Huangzhou, it was midnight when Su Shi got home after drinking, and his children had already fallen asleep. Su Dongpo knocked at the door many times, but there was no response. He had to run to the river and listen to the sound of running water all night. Wrote the famous Linjiang Fairy:

I drank Dongpo in the evening and woke up drunk. It seemed like midnight when I came back. The child is short of breath. You shouldn't even knock on the door, but lean on your cane and listen to the sound of the river.

I have hated this body for a long time. When will I forget the camp? The night was calm and the lines were flat. Since then, this ship has passed away, and Jiang Hai spent the rest of his life.

The satrap was frightened when he saw the word. Jiang Hai gave him the rest of his life. Isn't this suicide? He quickly mounted his horse and headed for Dongpo's residence. When I arrived at my residence, I found old Sue snoring like thunder.

When he was relegated to Danzhou, Su Shi was 62 years old and buried in loess in his sixties and a half. Moreover, Danzhou "has no meat to eat, no medicine to eat, no room to live in, no friends to go out with ..." But he still smiles and has fun in his misery. I started a school and taught books. Jiang Tangzuo, the first person in Hainan history, and Fu Que, the first scholar, were trained. From 65438 to 0094, Su Dongpo was exiled to Huizhou, where miasma was rampant. Friends wrote letters to comfort him. But he wrote back and said, "300 lychees a day, I don't want to be a Lingnan person."

Romain rolland said: "There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life." This sentence is simply tailored for Su Dongpo.

Today, when we read "the river of no return, the waves are exhausted, the romantic figures of the ages ...", we once again appreciate the lofty sentiments of Su Dongpo's poems. Life kisses me with pain, but I respond with songs. I want to pursue the greatest happiness under limited conditions.

Lifelong rights and interests

Su Dongpo is a man who knows life. In the history of China, no one can find a richer and more exciting life, and no one can be better at discovering the happiness of life.

While creation comes from life, people who love life often know how to enjoy life, just like "Huangzhou good pork is as cheap as dirt" in cook the meat Song. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't know how to cook. "In the Northern Song Dynasty, dignitaries generally only ate mutton, not pork. Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, so he was too shy to eat mutton. I started thinking about pork. He has a good eye for pearls and makes life full of surprises.

"Slow down the fire, less water, and it will look good when the fire is full." It not only highlights Su Shi's complacency, but also shows the world a petty bourgeoisie life interest of slow cooking and enjoyment. This well-known Su Shi's famous dish not only contains the philosophy of life, but also embodies Su Dongpo's personality charm of being diligent and loving the people.

Maybe people can't see Gu Yue today, but this month, according to the ancients, whenever we taste this delicious "Dongpo Meat", we all linger on its crisp and rotten taste, fragrant and waxy, but not greasy. Did the ancients at that time cook and have fun slowly like us and enjoy themselves in the moonlight? However, wine, vegetables, wine under the moon and wine glasses are so many in life!

Because he loves to eat, he loves life and life, just as he said in Ode to the Gourmet: "Cover the beauty of polymers to support my gourmets". Three meals a day are enjoyable and vicissitudes, which is also a realm!

Immerse yourself in love

Ten years of life and death are two boundless, disapproving and unforgettable. A lonely grave thousands of miles away, desolate and nowhere to talk about. Even if we don't know each other, our faces are dusty and our temples are frosty.

At night, I suddenly dreamed of going home, and the window of Xiao Xuan was being decorated. Care for each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears. It is estimated that the annual heartbroken place, moonlit night, short matsuoka.

This is the first mourning speech written for Su Shi's original wife Wang Fu on a dead night in Mizhou ten years after his death. Every time I read it, I feel deep love and sadness. Wang Fu was only sixteen when he married Su Jia. He is a good friend of Su Dongpo in Bandu. Unfortunately, he died at the age of 27, which turned into a deep sadness of Su Dongpo's feelings. I have experienced adversity, but I can't go to life and death. I feel deep affection, like a suffocating spring, but it is difficult to breathe and escape.

For Su Shi, it seems that we have long been accustomed to his generosity and cheerfulness. How generous it is to "wear a yellow flag on the left and a pale flag on the right, wear mink fur and a gold hat, and roll Wan Li Mountain". "Bamboo poles and sandals are lighter than horses." Who's afraid? A misty rain is a lifetime. "That's ever free and easy, but never thought, he has a heartbroken wound every year.

From Su Shi's body, we can see that he perfectly combined his self-consciousness, aloof and carefree temperament, his love for life, his humorous and innocent interest, and his leisurely, elegant and chic spirit, and finally made a lovely Su Dongpo and a great Su Dongpo, who has been immortal in people's minds for thousands of years.

"Life is not satisfactory, but I have never read Su Dongpo", which is true. This means that if you feel depressed in life, you can read Sue's words, and you will feel that your depression is a ball. Can it be more ups and downs than Su Dongpo's life? Why can't we be more optimistic and broad-minded about life like his old man?

Su Dongpo, in our whole history, is a unique slash male god, a slash of leverage, not ambiguous at all. How many slashes are there? Let's listen to what Mr. Lin Yutang said:

Note: Mr. Lin's passage is a passage in the preface of his biography of Su Dongpo. Originally in English, later different translations will have different words.

The sentence "Su Dongpo is an optimist whose nature cannot be changed" has also been translated into the version of "hopeless optimist", which seems to be more vivid.

Whether a person is optimistic or a real optimist depends on his attitude towards life in adversity. Laughter in prosperity is what ordinary people can achieve.

Su Dongpo is inexhaustible, so let's briefly talk about his three major adversity. The mentality and realm in adversity are endless. Let's talk about how optimistic he is in adversity. Because, in adversity, people often don't think about tea and rice, they can eat well, and there is a lot of research to form poetry. If not optimistic, what is it?

Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou, and braised pork came into being. In the Song Dynasty, pork was the food of the poor, mainly mutton. Su Dongpo couldn't afford mutton in Huangzhou, so he often went to the market to buy pork, cut it into cubes, supplemented with seasoning, and then cooked it in a pot. To this end, he also wrote a doggerel entitled "Ode to Pork": "Huangzhou good pork, the price is worthless. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't know how to cook. Slow down the fire, less water, and it will look good when the fire is full. Get up and play a bowl every day, and you are too full to care. " Among them, the cooking method of "Dongpo Meat" is "slow fire and little water, and fire is beautiful".

Su Dongpo was relegated to Huizhou, where he first ate litchi, a local specialty, and fell in love with it sincerely. In the poem "Eating Litchi at the Beginning of April 11th", he praised Litchi as a pioneer. The seamount is crimson, and the white jade skin is in the red yarn. You don't have to wait for the princess to laugh, and your personality is naturally beautiful. Since then, litchi has appeared in his poems many times. For example, in five New Year's poems, "When will the litchi ripen, and the flowers are numerous today", and in two poems about eating litchi, "There are 300 lychees a day, which is not hesitate for Lingnan people. "

"300 lychees a day, don't hesitate, grow up to be Lingnan people" is almost the best advertising language for Huizhou litchi, which is well known to future generations. Can experience the sweetness of litchi in bitter experience and praise it extremely, such people will never be knocked down by the difficulties of life.

When Su Dongpo was demoted to Hainan, he said, "I went to Hainan and sold all my wine containers for food and clothing." It can be seen that Su Dongpo was short of money. He also wrote a poem specifically describing: "See pork on the fifth day and yellow chicken porridge on the tenth day. The natives eat potatoes and taro, and recommend smoking mice and burning bats. I heard that honey tastes like vomiting, which is a bit close to the custom of frogs. " Meat, chicken, potatoes and taro can only be eaten once every few days, even rats, bats and frogs can eat them.

Su Dongpo just came to Hainan at the beginning, and he was pessimistic, thinking that life was bumpy, and it really happened. But Su Dongpo, an optimist, later understood that life is like food, and everyone has different interpretations. Whether it is bitter or sweet, what is lost depends only on personal opinion. Su Dongpo gradually adjusted his mental state and began to accept life in Hainan. It can be clearly understood from his "Early Rice with Taoxitian" that the poem says: "Early leeks want to compete for spring, and late leeks break the cold first. There is no positive taste in the world, and beauty is difficult to achieve. " In other words, hard work can also create delicious food, so can life.

A lovelorn lady named James J.S.Wong was very talented and revealed the idea of suicide. Huang Hong invited her to dinner instead of persuading her. During the dinner, there was an expensive steamed humpback wrasse. The lady ate it like a different person and ate it with relish. What a pity it is to die when there is such delicious food in the world! James J.S.Wong saved a fish's life, or used his wisdom.

Obviously, Su Dongpo, who is hard to find through the ages, is comparable to the lady who invited David Henry Hwang to dinner, but the reason is the same. Su Dongpo is an extremely fastidious eater in good times and bad times. Only from this aspect of life can we see how optimistic and open-minded he is and how much inspiration he has given us.

Su Shi has been in officialdom for most of his life, but he is rarely infected with the bad habits of officialdom. He is not good at officialdom management, nor is he greedy for wealth. On the contrary, the scholar is more energetic, and the straight man's character makes him often offend people.

Once Su Shi came back from the imperial court, patting his stomach and asking his family: What do I have here? People greeted him and said, Master's stomach is full of knowledge! Su Shi smiled and looked at Wang Chaoyun. Wang Chaoyun said angrily, you are full of inappropriate. Su Shi smiled and said, He who knows me has a cloud on his face.

An untimely person who is mixed in the officialdom is bound to be excluded, so his official career is once degraded and once again degraded. As the saying goes: look at character when you are proud, and look at behavior when you are frustrated. Only when you are frustrated can you see a person's character.

Many of Su Shi's leisure works were written in his relegation career. "Go home, there will be no rain or shine", which is what many people like to say. Anyone who has not experienced the storms of life is not worth mentioning. "Since the death of the ship, Jiang Hai has sent the rest of his life", indifferent to fame and fortune.

The most bitter time is being banished to Lingnan, which is a land of thousands of miles. Only felons will be exiled there. Su Shi once wrote, "Three hundred lychees a day, I don't want to be a Lingnan person." You said exile. He doesn't want to come back yet.

In addition to his extraordinary talent, Su Shi lived an open-minded life all his life and has always been loved by future generations. An open-minded person naturally has his petty bourgeoisie sentiment, and he also wrote 16 lovable things, all of which are in my dynamics. If you are interested, you can have a look.

Speaking of Su Dongpo, what I remember deeply and vividly is the Zen case-solving between Mr. Dongpo and Fo Yin Zen Master.

Su Shi wrote a song "Zizi" and gave it to the Zen master in Fo Yin. The Zen master opened it, but the eight winds couldn't move, so he sat firmly on the Zijin Terrace.

Put a fart on it and send it back immediately! As soon as Su Shi saw it, he was furious at once and sailed for justice himself. See Fo Yin, opening service road, "bold old monk, why do you put a fart on my sister-in-law.

Fo Yin smiled and said, "Mr. Dongpo, you won't be moved by the Eight Winds." . Why? You just passed Jiang Lai with the word "fart". Su Shi is ashamed.

Once again, it is said that Fo Yin and Su Shi are meditating. During this period, Su Shi saw that Fo Yin was sitting incorrectly and sitting correctly. He began to embarrass Fo Yin and said to Fo Yin, "Master, what do you think I look like sitting?"

Yue is a Buddha.

Dongpo did Sarah laugh. Say, but your sitting posture is like a pile of cow shit.

Fo Yin said that if you have a Buddha in your heart, you will see that you are a Buddha, but if you have shit in your heart, you will see that I am shit.

Su Dongpo was speechless.

It can be seen that Su Shi was a literary master deeply influenced by Zen all his life, and his works can be seen everywhere. Su Shi, a famous Dongpo layman, had a bumpy life, or was influenced by both, which made him have a full understanding of life and a happy life. His words were bold and refreshing, which made him happy to read, and also gave people a variety of feelings about life:

Look, old Su, standing proudly by the red cliff, began to sing.

Reading and reading, does it seem that the magnificent picture rises in front of your eyes?

Then, swimming leisurely, boating on the red cliff, the night view of Wangjiang on Dongpo, and a full moon in the sky, that kind of emotional appeal is indescribable, and probably only Lao Su expressed it: "

Dongpo seems to have drunk himself and talked about the beautiful scenery.

The clock ticks, and in a blink of an eye, it may be that the wine wakes up in the middle of the night or the dew is cold. Finally, Dongpo's mood suddenly fell into the cold, and he realized again. Listen, these words have to be said.

Nature is so wonderful, does Lao Su seem to have more than one bargained for? But he came to his senses. Does he want to take it away?

Old Su will not only comfort himself, but also comfort people like himself. Mid-Autumn Festival is full and lonely. Dongpo is lonely, lonely, looking at the bright moon, and the singer leaves his name: "

Nine times out of ten, life is unhappy. There is no wind and rain. What's the difference between life and salted fish? Old Su Can can see clearly. He knows everything. How can he see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Well, maybe he wants to take a bath for free, maybe he wants to see rainbows, tree-lined paths, birds singing and flowers singing as they walk. Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder, a strong wind and dark clouds rolled. Damn it, it's not. There were five or six people in the same company, and a puff of smoke ran forward. At this time, it was raining heavily, but when I saw Lao Su, she looked up and smiled. The rain rolled down her face like a waterfall, and her beard turned into water spray. She wiped her face and looked down at the rolling yellow water. Then, when she saw him again, she looked up at the sky, smiled again and simply recited: "

Open-minded and natural like this, optimistic and transparent. There's nobody here,

In a word, who is afraid?

Hey, this Dongpo is cute and wild, which makes people itch. Hey, hey, how comfortable and happy. Dance with lightning and sing a poem with thunder. This is Dongpo ...

People are unhappy because they can't let go. If you want to get rid of it, you might as well read Su Dongpo. Perhaps you can get some enlightenment from Su Dongpo's ups and downs and open-minded life.

Su Shi was brilliant when he was young. When he was 265,438+0 years old, he took part in scientific research. Together with Ceng Gong, his younger brothers Su Zhe, Zhang Dun, Lv Huiqing, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, he created the most luxurious lineup in the history of scientific research, and was praised as the "first list in the Millennium Imperial Examination", which directly influenced the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. Su Shi was also appreciated by Emperor Renzong and Ouyang Xiu. Emperor Injong commented on the Su brothers and said that they had been prime ministers.

But after he became an official, he experienced the ups and downs of his career. Zongshen Yuanfeng (1079) was impeached and imprisoned by Shi Yu for opposing Wang Anshi's political reform and writing poems to slander the imperial court, resulting in the famous Wutai poetry case. Was demoted to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei). The following year's Cold Food Festival wrote "Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Post".

Throughout the poem, there is a gloomy image. We can imagine his gloomy, dreary, lonely and embarrassed life when he lived in Huangzhou. In this mood and situation, he also made the cold food paste the third largest running script in the world with a stroke of a pen, thus making the Huangzhou cold food poem paste a masterpiece through the ages.

During his stay in Yuan You, Su Shi was recalled to North Korea. Later, because of dissatisfaction with Sima Guang's political views, he was transferred again and served as a magistrate in Hangzhou, Yingzhou, Yangzhou and Dingzhou. In the early years of Zhezong Shaosheng, he got rid of the old party, and Su Shi was exiled to Huizhou and Hainan. It's harder every time. Su Shi's intimidation, humiliation, torture and pain in his life are beyond words, but he insists, is open-minded, uncompromising and does not go with the flow.

Huangzhou's relegation is only the beginning of Su Shi's exile, but it is also of extraordinary significance to him. Suffering from the worries of life and death, he thought he deserved to die, but the life that didn't die died. He died and was suddenly enlightened. The best poetry and calligraphy in his life were completed at this time.

On the banks of Huangzhou River, he raised cattle and sheep, weeding and planting wheat, and lived happily, making Dongpo meat a legend. The famous "Jiangchengzi" was written at this time. "I have traveled all over the world, but I still work hard. Last night, Dongpo was full of spring rain, black magpies were happy, and the weather was fine. " The famous Red Cliff Fu was also written in this period. I am often scolded by intoxicating people for traveling around the mountains, mixing fish with firewood, and then "complacent, gradually unknown."

After being criticized and humiliated, Su Dongpo did not feel sorry for himself, but in his persistence, the prosperity faded, and he realized that he was singing "river of no return, the waves are exhausted ..." He ended his life optimistically and openly. ...

Since then, looking back at ourselves, we should have realized something. Life is our own, don't be hard on yourself, stick to a belief in your heart, put aside other thoughts and live happily in the best way.
