But when I woke up the next day, the sweetness in my mouth was gone.
If there is a person who is sweet and still sweet and refreshing after nearly a thousand years of soaking in the long river of history, then this person is Su Dongpo.
Su Shi's sweetness is that he is wrapped in a thick layer of icing in his bitter life like lotus seeds, which makes people taste a little sweetness in bitterness.
Because I can taste bitter, I won't feel bored when I eat Su Dongpo's sugar lotus seed, but it's just sweet.
So, if you feel that all beings are suffering, try to make yourself sweet.
This is the best time, this is the worst time.
The best here is relative to the imperial court at that time, and the worst is only relative to Su Dongpo.
If one day you travel to Song Shenzong and become an official, you will meet the following people when you go to court.
Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, Su Ziyou, Fan Zhongyan .....
At this time, your mind may be confused. Are these people really from the same era?
Yes, his men were such a top-level lineup during Song Shenzong's time. After nearly a thousand years, they have a title that is a headache for the current student party-reciting and memorizing the Tiantuan.
But at that time, these people were not at peace because they had the same hobbies, but because of political struggles. On the whole, Wang Anshi and the emperor were one school, while those behind them were another.
In the end, Dongpo was demoted. In fact, this is nothing. Compared with his future life, this little setback is just a warm-up, because in his future life, he is either demoted or on the way to being demoted.
However, Su Shi quickly completed the transformation of his identity. Unlike many literati who worry about the country and the people all day and miss the sufferings of the people, they really let these people put down their bodies and work in the fields like ordinary people, and they feel humiliated.
In fact, later generations prefer to call Su Shi Su Dongpo, who cultivated the land when he was a farmer. Compared with many literati who chose the nickname for themselves, the name Dongpo is fresh and refined, representing the reconciliation between Su Shi and his new identity.
As long as a person can reconcile with himself in time, he can face the ups and downs of life more calmly, and those who know how to please themselves can truly discover the beauty of life, because everyone will not live only one point, but people live ups and downs.
There is no major event in life, and eating is the top priority.
If there had been media in the Song Dynasty, what kind of anchor do you think a big V like Dongpo, who can harvest traffic across platforms and has millions of fans, would be?
Many people will think that he is a cultural anchor, but if Dongpo chooses for himself, he will definitely be a food broadcaster who can taste delicious food every day.
Su Dongpo, who was banished to the south, had a small income and a large family, so his life was very tight. He had to grow his own food, and the meat was even worse. Fortunately, the fruit in the south was rich, so he could satisfy his appetite.
But not eating meat has always made Su Dongpo more painful. However, for a foodie who loves food, he can always find ways to make the simplest ingredients shine on the table. This time, he chose the cheapest pork, so that future generations will think of this great food inventor every time they eat it.
"Huangzhou good pork, cheap as dirt. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't understand cooking. In the morning, they get up and play two bowls, and they are so full that they don't care. "
"Slow down the fire, lack water, wait for him to be familiar with himself, and wait for him to be natural and beautiful when the fire is full."
An ordinary piece of pork has become rich and soulful under Dongpo's pen; Su Dongpo succeeded in pleasing himself because he could eat a piece of braised pork made by himself.
But the desire to eat food is endless, because he can't afford mutton, Dongpo can only secretly eat the sheep spine that no one wants.
People who know how to cook delicious food, even if they get the worst ingredients, will laugh in front of the simplest pots and pans.
He used his craft to cook the bones first, pour the wine to remove the fishy smell, sprinkle salt on them and then roast them, cracking the sheep's spine.
Su Dongpo, who tasted the taste and solved his craving, was so excited at this time that when he wrote to his brother, he said: "The sheep scorpion ate the taste of seafood, and all the dogs around him cried."
Taste, as the simplest feeling of human beings, can't be described in words in many cases. Even if you can't wait to express this feeling with others one day, it must be the closest person around you.
Just as Su Dongpo shared this feeling with his own brother, hundreds of years after Su Dongpo, another great writer told his son in the same way: "In fact, eating peanuts and dried tofu together can taste ham."
It's just that he said this last word to his son when he was about to be executed on the execution ground. This great writer is Jin Shengtan.
Eating the simplest food with thousands of flavors is the traditional super power of great writers who loved food in past dynasties.
Life is often, if the taste is too weak, you might as well put more salt; If the taste is too bitter, you might as well add more sugar.
I watch the scenery on the boat, and the people who watch the scenery look at me in poetry.
If one day Su Dongpo is really cornered because of the secular pressure everywhere, then he will definitely get into the world of poetry without hesitation.
Most of our impressions of Su Dongpo come from his poems. At that time, we looked at Su Shi, just like Li Bai, fluttering in white, drinking wine, and fighting with a sword.
But in reality, it may be bargaining with the butcher to buy a piece of pork in the market; In order to have a taste of roasted sheep's spine, the butcher chopped the bone into several pieces on the chopping board, or, as others have commented, held the copper pipa and iron chopsticks at home and sang river of no return.
But no matter what Su Dongpo is doing, as long as he is immersed in the world of poetry, he will have the courage to fight against all worldly things.
At the lowest valley of life, nothing can cure us more than looking at the scenery and moving forward.
Coming out of the narrow and noisy town in Huangzhou, I went boating on the river with my friends in Chibi Rocky, and there was a bright moon and a glass of turbid wine, so the feeling of "river of no return, a man who has lost all his waves and has been a romantic figure through the ages" gushed out, and the two poems on red cliff before and after were also vented from the pen full of thick ink.
A boat with a leaf, an unruly soul will produce the most splendid chapter in the history of literature in generate under the moonlight. After being squeezed out by his colleagues and frustrated politically, Su Dongpo has read all kinds of things in the world, tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and his writing style has become more and more mature.
For Su Dongpo at this time, he has infinite leisure, beautiful scenery, the poet's sensitive imagination, his love for the moonlit night and his fascination with wine-all of these are powerful and powerful, which makes the poet's life happy and comfortable.
Just like Su Shi's mood at this time, the darkness of the whole world is not enough to affect the brilliance of a candle. No matter how unfair this world is, it is not enough to affect his happy viewing, drinking and reciting poems here.
Before and after the two poems on the red wall, they not only comforted themselves, but also inadvertently spread to future generations, comforting the frustrated people from generation to generation.
If one day the soul has nowhere to hide, please put it in the iron wall built with your own persistence and initial heart.
Life is too depressing, be a stage hand with interesting friends.
Su Dongpo not only writes poems, but also likes telling jokes.
The purpose of telling jokes is just to make himself happy, because he feels that he is so miserable that he should have some fun for himself.
Similar to the current tucao conference, as the best "bad friend", his regular tucao targets include but are not limited to Chen Jichang, Zhang Xian, Fo Yin and others. And every time Dongpo spits out, every paragraph he talks about can be passed down as a classic.
His friend, Chen Jichang, was timid. Every time Dongpo asked him for a drink, he even sometimes brought a geisha, which made his wife unhappy. On one occasion, she chatted with Chen Jichang until midnight, and Chen's wife shouted at him loudly, which made Ji Chang lose his grip on a cane.
Later, Su Dongpo joked: "The lay man in Longqiu is also pitiful. It is said that there is no sleep at night. Suddenly I heard the lion roar in Hedong, and my cane fell into my palm. "
Lion roars has thus become popular throughout the country.
For old friend Zhang Xian, Su Dongpo is no longer telling jokes, but actually "driving".
Zhang Xian took an 18-year-old young girl as his concubine when he was over eighty. Su Shi then wrote a poem saying, "eighteen brides and eighty lang, with gray hair and red makeup." The mandarin duck quilt becomes a double night, and a pear tree presses Haitang. "
Although later generations have argued about the authenticity of this poem, whether it was written by Su Dongpo or not, Su Shi did write a poem to tease this old friend because of this incident. Reading it now still makes people laugh.
When it comes to talking with Dongpo about each other, it's his monk friend Fo Yin.
Su Shi's erudition has long been known to the world, but Fo Yin diss by no means an idle generation in learning, and he never falls behind with Dongpo every time.
Dongpo was once obsessed with Buddhism for a while, and he often meditated with Fo Yin. Whenever he realized Zen, he couldn't wait to tell each other and exchange experiences with each other.
One day, when Dongpo meditated, he suddenly realized two wonderful sentences that he wanted to tell Fo Yin, and took them as the standard for future practice. But Fo Yin was still in the temple on the other side of the river, so he wrote these two sentences and handed them to Fo Yin by the boy crossing the river.
Fo Yin opened it, and the two sentences inside were called "Eight winds can't blow, sitting alone with the purple lotus", so he smiled without a word, took pen and ink, wrote a big "fart" on the back of the letter, and then asked the boy to return it to Dongpo.
Dongpo was furious after reading it, so he personally crossed the river by boat to find Fo Yin Theory.
When I came to the front of the temple, I found that Fo Yin had gone out for a trip, and posted a couplet at the door. The first part was called "Eight winds can't blow" and the second part was called "A fart crossed the river", leaving Dongpo in distress situation and helplessness.
In Su Dongpo's life, Fo Yin was one of his most important friends. Apart from teasing each other, Fo Yin really added a lot of fun to Dongpo's gloomy days. Just like a weeding man, he can help Dongpo pull out the grass growing in his heart at any time.
It is enough to get this confidant in life.
Even if fate closes the door to Su Shi, his friends will open many windows for him to make the room look shining. You can always talk and laugh with friends through the window and tease each other.
Many people don't understand why Su Dongpo's life is still envied by many people because he has been poor all his life.
Because he knows how to find a reason to laugh in the most difficult times. Even on the steepest mountain, standing on sandals and holding a bamboo stick, you can still suck the misty rain quietly.
Su Dongpo lived his life with a clear conscience. When he lived in the temple, he abolished tyranny and benefited the people of Lebanon. When he was demoted to the rivers and lakes, he indulged in landscapes and lived a happy life, leaving countless eternal songs.
He is worthy of the country, the people and himself.
His fate is as bitter as lotus seeds, but it is as delicious as being wrapped in sugar.
Su Dongpo, a sugar lotus seed, no matter how many teenagers there are, people in later generations can still taste a little sweetness when they see him.
