Last year at Lingyun Temple in Leshan, I saw Mr. Dongpo’s self-praise: The heart is like a gray tree, and the body is like a boat without ties. Ask me about my life achievements, Huangzhou, Danzhou and Huizhou. I smiled after reading it, admiring and sighing at the same time. My mood was like a kite with a heavy weight on it. I didn't know whether it was better to float up heavily or fall down gently. Ask me about my life's achievements, Huangzhou, Danzhou and Huizhou, Po Weng's self-conception can be described as wonderful. Later, I discovered that there was a program dedicated to Su Shi in the "Hundred Schools Forum". I liked it very much, and I loved it so much that even Kang Zhen also liked it. I just felt that I couldn't watch it on TV, so I went to the Internet to download it. After watching it, I couldn't bear to delete it, and it stayed in the folder like a treasure. I began to pay more attention to this great writer who is famous all over the world. I opened "Guanwen Guanzhi" and read specifically Su Shi's articles. While reading, I asked myself, what were you doing guarding such a treasure? Seeing my excitement, he bought "Dongpo Zhilin" and told me that although the words in "Guanzhi" were good, they still had limitations in understanding a person. Just like formal attire for social occasions, although it is formal, it is not free and easy enough. "Zhilin" mostly contains Dongpo's daily notes, and looks like casual clothes at home, which just makes up for the shortcomings of formal clothes. I was convinced and moved by what he said. After all, he was a close friend.
After reading "Dongpo Zhilin", Su Shi gradually came to life in my heart. I am not a scholar, so my interest in him is not out of necessity, but more out of intuition. With infinite admiration, I once chanted a tuneless poem for Su Shi:
Who is it
Coming in a misty raincoat
From That city in the middle of Sichuan
The city with mountains like eyebrows
My father hopes that you will be willing to serve as a handrail
It cannot restrain the young man's outstanding talents
There are strange peaks and ups and downs in the writing
The floating clouds approaching the capital
Lingxutai opens and closes the present and the past
The West Lake is full of affection
Everyone in the world is amazed by your intelligence
A clever heart cannot overcome a stubborn head
Under the ferocious curtain of Wutai
The words that have been so close to you all of a sudden Switch sides
Become your enemy
The horn sounds on the imperial court
Start your wonderful journey
Ju Zi Wei Ju , there is no need to go to Huainan or Huaibei
There is no need to search for my hometown in a foreign country.
Look! In the flood beside Lingao Pavilion
There is also the snowy water of Minjiang River rushing
The vegetable patch on the east slope is green
You roll up your sleeves, plow and sing
p>Throw a slender hair into the river
Sparking thousands of years of stormy waves lapping the shore
And the immortal echo of Red Cliff
The pale color repeats
You are unwilling to follow both sides of the authority
Be independent and be independent to the fullest!
Where can I be locked up in jail
Your unruly spirit
A few warm belly cakes with wine
Wandering around for half a lifetime
Swallow it together with the lychees from Lingnan
Looking at the vicissitudes of life
It is still -
The four seasons of spring at the foot of Luofu Mountain
Looking around, the dust flies in the cracks
A slow whistle carries the clouds and sunshine of thousands of years
Open the thick classics
Let me listen to your vivid and lively chatter and laughter
Together with the breeze and the bright moon
Eternity...
Despite being repeatedly demoted, Su Shi has always been the king. The discoverer and owner of Fengyue Eternal. Compared with Li Bai and Liu Yuxi's heroic spirit, Su Shi's philosophy is plain. What he stepped on was not the land of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the land of the Song Dynasty, which was peaceful and weak in national power. His heroic spirit is even more unconventional, lofty and outstanding.
Su Shi was a scholar who pushed his independent spirit to the extreme.
Regardless of whether the reformists or conservatives were in power, he always adhered to his political views, neither "leaning left" nor "leaning right". He knew that it would offend the powerful and harm himself, but he still persisted in his determination. He is very rare in official circles. It is this true independence of thought, opinion, and personality that created his brilliant achievements in literature and art.
Su Shi was also a scholar who pushed his optimism to the extreme. Under the difficult conditions of Huangzhou's material resources, he found joy in hardship, farming and building houses by himself, and getting along well with the farmers. In Hainan Island, because we are far away from the land, life is even more difficult. It takes a long time to eat meat scraps picked from the bones of sheep. In addition, we are getting older and our relatives are far away. It is difficult for ordinary people to survive. But this young man The proud and astoundingly talented writer endured. Even trivial tasks like cutting toenails, he also tasted the fun in it. Su Shi's optimism is no longer a gesture of a literati when he is frustrated, but has become a character. He is different from Li Bai, who indulged himself in poetry and wine, seeking relief; nor is he Du Fu, who grieved in adversity and became an ascetic. He is just a person, a down-to-earth, amiable and respectable person, who bases all his romantic poetry and thoughts on the universe and life on the life within reach, like my neighbor with bright features and distinctive personality. Su Shi's optimism greatly influenced later literati. I can see Su Shi's shadow in the prose of Zhang Dai, Liang Shiqiu, and Wang Zengqi. Although the Song Dynasty was very weak, Sichuan was very remote, and the nation was in trouble, the Song Dynasty was lucky, Sichuan was lucky, the nation was lucky, and we still have Su Shi.
Only when you have entered the world can you emerge from it, and only after you have gained the world can you escape from the world. Po Weng deserves this reputation.
