For a foodie——

In this world, there are only food and love that cannot be let down.

Su Dongpo, the “No. 1 internet celebrity in the Northern Song Dynasty”, was just a foodie.

He was either demoted or on the way to being demoted;

He was demoted and had to eat all the way——

Being demoted to Huangzhou, he had to eat After being demoted to Huizhou, he fell in love with lychees; when he was demoted to Hainan, he ate oysters.

An optimistic person, no matter what situation he is placed in, can always live a passionate life.

Some people say that the reason why life is unhappy is because you have not read Su Dongpo.

If you think life is difficult, then read these three "food poems" by Su Dongpo.

They have been circulated for 900 years, and they are still very healing and make people feel happy when they are read today. .

1. The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts

The biggest crisis in Su Shi's life was the "Wutai Poetry Case".

In the second year of Xining (1069 AD), Song Shenzong appointed Wang Anshi as a political advisor and began to reform.

Su Shi knew that he would be marginalized if he disagreed with the reformists, so he applied for a foreign appointment.

During this period, Su Shi came to Hangzhou and served as the general magistrate of Hangzhou, and later served as the magistrate of Mizhou and Huzhou.

During this process, Su Shi saw various shortcomings of the reform,

So after he arrived in Huzhou, he wrote in his thank you note to the emperor:

< p> "Your Majesty knows that he is stupid and unfit for the time, and it is difficult to follow the newcomers; seeing that he is old and does not cause trouble, he may be able to shepherd the small people."

There is clearly a complaint in these words.

The clever Su Shi did not realize that——

At this time, Wang Anshi had already been dismissed, and the host of the reform became Song Shenzong.

——This is called not being able to “assess the situation.”

So his complaints will naturally make Shenzong furious.

When the emperor gets angry, the people around him know what to do.

——This means that there are people around you who are "observant of words and expressions".

Su Shi was escorted back to Beijing from his appointment and imprisoned in Yushitai.

After being imprisoned, Su Shi's life and death were uncertain, and he was frightened every day.

While waiting for the sentencing, his son Su Mai went to prison every day to deliver meals to Su Shi.

The two made an agreement: they only ate vegetables and meat on weekdays, but if they were sentenced to death, they would Just send fish.

One day, Su Mai ran out of money and had to go out to the capital to borrow money, so he entrusted the meal delivery to a distant relative.

As a result, he forgot to ask before leaving. As agreed,

As a result, the next day, this distant relative sent Su Shi a smoked fish.

Su Shi was shocked when he saw it, thinking that he was in danger, so he felt miserable. , wrote two farewell poems to his younger brother Su Che,

One of them read:

This is a green mountain where bones can be buried, but the heavy rain alone hurts his soul. We have been brothers for generations to come, and we have an unfinished relationship with you in the next life.

The result was a false alarm.

In the end, Su Shi was pardoned, but was demoted to Huangzhou as deputy envoy of regiment training.

This position had no real power and a meager salary, not even enough to support his family.

So local officials assigned a piece of wasteland in the eastern suburbs of Huangzhou to Su Shi.

So Su Shi had another name: Dongpo.

Because he really had no money to buy delicious food, Su Dongpo, as a "foodie", set his sights on pigs in Huangzhou.

At that time, people in the Song Dynasty mainly ate beef and mutton, and pork “couldn’t be put on the table.”

Therefore, the pigs in Huangzhou at that time were all fat and white, and even “straw-based”. Pigs don't run away",

At this time, Su Dongpo developed "Dongpo Pork":

Wash the pan with less water, and the firewood will not smoke. .

Don’t rush him until he is mature. He will be beautiful when the heat is sufficient.

Huangzhou’s good pork is as cheap as dirt.

The rich refuse to eat it, and the poor do not know how to cook it.

Get up in the morning and have two bowls. You will be so full that you don’t care.

Oh my god, this text makes people salivate just reading it.

Su Shi, who had experienced a "near escape from death", may have found the healing power in this kind of food.

Miraculously, if you are in a low mood and at a low point in your life,

then you might as well find a time to cook a meal,

That Gudu Gudu The steaming pot, the sizzling barbecue...

Everything is so beautiful.

2. Taste in the world is happiness

After living in Huangzhou for four years, Su Shi came to Ruzhou again.

Although there are too many disappointments in life, he is as open-minded as Su Dongpo, and still likes to travel around the mountains and rivers.

When he was in Huangzhou, because "Dongpo" was too barren, the grain production was not enough.

Su Shi and his friends went to Shahu to see a piece of land, but it started raining halfway.

Su Shi wrote the famous song "Ding Fengbo" 》:

(On March 7th, it rained on the Shahu Road. The rain gear went off first, and everyone in the group was in a panic. I didn’t realize it. It was sunny, so I wrote this word.)

< p> Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest, why not scream and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and mango shoes are easier than horses, who is afraid? A coop of mist and rain will last a lifetime.

The steep spring breeze blows away the drunkenness, it is slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly. Looking back at the desolate place where I came from, there was neither wind, rain nor sunshine.

When he arrived in Ruzhou, Su Shi was still interested in traveling.

Even though it was winter, he still made an appointment with his friend Liu Qianshu to visit Nanshan together.

There is a slanting wind and drizzle, and it is chilly.

The two opened the food they had brought, which was just tea and wild vegetables.

Even so, Su Shi was still complacent and wrote the next article "Huanxisha":

(On December 24, the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Uncle Liu Qian traveled to Nanshan from Sizhou.)

The drizzle and slanting wind made the dawn cold, and the light smoke and sparse willows made the beach beautiful. The journey into Huaiqingluo is gradually long.

Snow foam and milk flowers float on the afternoon cup, and Polygonum antler and Artemisia bamboo shoots are served on the spring plate. The taste of the world is pure joy.

The taste of the world is pure joy.

Perhaps only those who have experienced the ups and downs of the world can have such insights.

Su Shi’s life had an amazing beginning.

After taking the imperial examination, he was highly praised by the examiner and literary leader Ouyang Xiu.

So he became "The most popular newcomer in the literary world",

He has never experienced ups and downs, and he writes political articles with eloquence and unique insight.

Later, after experiencing the "Wutai Poetry Case", he grew up in high school. We have hit rock bottom every time,

We even have to work hard with our families,

What we see is open-minded and calm, but behind the scenes, there are hardships that cannot be concealed,

Fortunately, Su Dongpo is Su Dongpo.

He has gone through ups and downs and never changed his mind.

Only after seeing the wind and rain can you understand: Ordinary life may be the most interesting life.

3. There are cracks in everything, and that is where the light comes in

Su Shi was demoted to Huizhou. In ancient times, the Lingnan area was mostly a smog-filled land.

< p> In the prosperous Central Plains area, everyone was afraid of Lingnan.

But Su Dongpo, this hopeless optimist, was actually full of joy.

He ate lychees and wrote the poem "Eat three hundred lychees a day, and he will grow up to be a Lingnan native".

As a result, Su Dongpo's literary reputation was so great that this poem soon became popular When the news was sent back to the capital, the political opponents took a look and thought, oh, I was living a good life, so let’s demote him again.

As a result, Su Shi was demoted to Danzhou, Hainan.

In the Song Dynasty, this was a severe punishment second only to "the whole family was executed".

At that time, Su Dongpo was 62 years old.

He left his family in Huizhou and took his youngest son Su across the strait to Hainan.

In Danzhou, Su Dongpo, who was already in his 60s, had a very hard life.

But he still introduced the local delicacy - oysters in a letter to his son.

At the end of the letter, he also asked: This stuff is delicious, don't tell others, otherwise they will come and compete with me for the food.

This kind of optimism that comes from the bottom of my heart is really hopeless.

Three years later, Su Shi was pardoned. Someone asked him how he felt in Hainan.

He answered with a poem:

Shen Hengdou Zhuan At the third watch, the bitter rain finally clears up and the wind clears up.

Who embellishes the scattered clouds and the bright moon? The sky and the sea are naturally clear.

When I was free, Lu Sou took advantage of his thoughts and had a rough idea of ??the music played by Xuanyuan.

I don’t hate the nine deaths in the Southern Wilderness. I am here to travel through the wonders of my life.

Even though he was demoted to the southern wilderness, he still had no hatred in his heart.

Instead, he felt that this might be the most amazing experience in his life.

Some people say that there are cracks in everything, and that is where the light comes in!

Life will always have ups and downs, and there will always be dark and unclear moments.

However, the joy and optimism hidden in your heart will always make you shine softly. ,

Everywhere in life is similar, it should be like a flying dragon stepping on slush.

Occasionally, there are fingers and claws left on the mud, and Hongfei is counting the things.

The situation at one stage will not determine your life. What matters is how you view yourself.

There is nothing wrong with maintaining your passion for life at any time.

If you are tired, read Su Shi.

Find open-mindedness, optimism, and the power to make you happy in his poems.
