? Finally read "Su Dongpo's Yam Porridge". After reading this chapter, I realized that it can be said to be a gathering of big names and shining stars. The gourmet Su Dongpo went through ups and downs in his life and was constantly demoted, but he always moved forward with an open mind on the road of being constantly demoted. Everywhere he went, he did not feel depressed and uneasy after being demoted, but started a new life with high morale. In Danzhou, Hainan, he and his son were exiled. They were expelled from their official residence and were not allowed to eat official food. They had to eat yams as their staple food and lived in poverty. The youngest son Su Guo stayed by his side to watch his father lose weight day by day. He suddenly thought of cooking yam using the northern method of making soup. Su Shi was so impressed by the taste. In the third year of Yuanfu, there was a general amnesty. Su Shi left Danzhou and returned to the north. The locals bid farewell to him with tears, and Su Shi also wrote affectionate poems to say goodbye. In his poem, he expressed that he regarded Danzhou as his hometown. He said, "This place where I feel at ease is my hometown"!
The second great poet is Bai Juyi, who was sent to Hangzhou to serve as governor. Disasters were common in Hangzhou at that time. Bai Juyi understood the sentiments of the people and built a lake embankment against all opinions. Since then, the water damage in the West Lake has been reduced, and later generations called it "Baigong Embankment". On the day Bai Juyi left Hangzhou, the people stopped his horse and held wine to see him off. The poet also wrote a poem, hoping that Baigong Embankment could help the people in the disaster years. He also specially wrote "Qiantang Lake Stone Records" to record in detail the experience of managing the West Lake so that future generations of Hangzhou local officials would know about it.
? Then read the stories of Zhang Dai and his uncles, Xin Qiji’s scolding poems, the iron-clad frontier poems of Zuo Zongtang, Wang Jinglue, the most famous person in the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, and the story of Yu Yunwen of the Southern Song Dynasty. . Today's story made my blood boil when I read it, and I thought about it for a long time after reading it.
