When Su Shi is mentioned, what comes to mind?

I believe that many people first think of Su Shi's talent. Those famous sentences passed down through the ages have appeared in the Chinese textbooks we have studied.

In fact, in addition to being a veritable great writer, Su Shi was also a complete foodie and a frustrated politician. Su Shi turned all his grief and indignation in the political arena into appetite and poetry.

Let's review Su Shi in history with the editor.

1. A complete foodie When Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou for the first time, although he suffered his first setback in the political arena, he opened another door in his life with delicious food.

Make cakes and eat them in the mountains of Huangzhou, catch fish in the sea and eat wild vegetables in the suburbs. Even Su Shi can think of ways to eat pork that the locals don't know how to eat.

He used his own food experience to write "Ode to Pork", which not only provided the people at that time with new ways to cook pork, making eating pork gradually popular, but also allowed our descendants to learn the recipe of Dongpo Pork.

2. I believe no one would question Su Shi’s status as a great writer. He ate 300 lychees a day and never hesitated to be a Lingnan native. There are countless poems that we are familiar with that can prove Su Shi’s talent.

Su Shi recorded all the frustrations and joys in life with his own poems. We can explore Su Shi's life from the famous lines he left behind.

Although the man has passed away, these beautiful words will remain forever.

3. The political life of the frustrated politician Su Shi was not very satisfactory. He experienced derogation again and again. From Huangzhou to Huizhou, and then to Danzhou, the places where he was demoted became more desolate each time, and the local living conditions also became worse.

More difficult than ever.

I thought that Su Shi would be reused one day, but he died of illness on his way back to Beijing after being pardoned.

It can be said that this life illustrates the unsatisfactory career path and full of talents that no one appreciates.

The above is the more representative identity of Su Shi in history.
