Su Shi, known as Zizhan and named Dongpo Jushi, is liberal in nature, straightforward in manner, and not very good at official work, but he is a scholar. I can sum it up in this sentence: he is the best painter among calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty. He teamed up with his master Ouyang Xiu and was selected as one of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties". He teamed up with his apprentice Huang Tingjian and was called "Su Huang". He teamed up with Xin Qiji, the "dragon of words", to become a representative of the uninhibited school and was called "Su Xin".
He is arrogant, but he is kind-hearted. He keeps a low profile, but he attracts people's attention. He eats food, but he is full of heart and mouth. He can use the words given by God to human beings to write beautiful articles that can be praised through the ages. In this issue, I will take you into Dongpo Zhilin, and give you a real Su Shi.
Su Dongpo is a gourmet. There are many records of Su Shi's invention of food in Song Dynasty's notebook novels. He also wrote a poem "Ode to Pork": Wash the wok, lack water, and the firewood can't afford to smoke. Don't rush it when it is ripe, it will be beautiful when the fire is full. Huangzhou good pork, the price is as cheap as dirt. You refuse to eat, and the poor don't understand cooking. Get up in the morning and play two bowls, so full that you can't worry about it.
The general idea is: Brush the pot clean, put some water in it, and simmer it slowly. Don't worry, the pork will taste delicious when it is cooked. The pork in Huangzhou is delicious and cheap, and the rich are tired of eating it, too lazy to eat it. Those who have no money won't cook it. If you eat two bowls when you get up in the morning, you will be satisfied and have nothing else to ask for.
Once, Su Shi suffered from pinkeye, and the doctor told him not to eat spicy food and greasy food, especially meat.
I have red eyes, or I can't eat it. I want to listen to it, but I can't talk. I say, my son and I are the mouth, and he and I are the eyes. How thick is he, and how thin am I? It is impossible to waste my food because of another disease.
Actually, my brain has decided to listen, but my mouth won't listen.
There are two people that Su Shi respects most in his life. One is Ouyang Xiu, who is grateful to him, and the other is Han Yu. "Dongpo Zhilin" wrote:
The poem of retreat says:' When I was born, the moon stayed in the south and fought'. It is known that grinding scorpions after retirement is the body palace, while grinding scorpions is the life of servants, and they have been slandered many times in their lives, which is almost the same disease.
I think Han Yu wrote such a sentence in his poem, I am a Capricorn. And I happen to be Capricorn, Capricorn is bad karma, so Capricorn is not a good sign. Han Yu, Han Yu, we are in the same boat.
Similarly, there are two people that Su Shi hates. He combined the two and wrote in one piece: The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has no way and no view, but he sees Wei Qing in the toilet, and he is a good ear if he doesn't look up to his elders. If you are a young slave, it is appropriate to lick hemorrhoids, and it is appropriate to see it in the toilet.
The general idea is: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a nuisance. He only did one good thing in his life, that is, shit in front of Wei Qing. I think this is very good. After all, Wei Qing is only good for people to lick chrysanthemums and shit in front of him, so they can get what they want.
There is an article in the first volume of Dongpo Zhilin about a night trip to Chengtian Temple, which reads: On the night of October 12, Yuanfeng six years, he undressed and wanted to sleep, and entered the house in the moonlight and set out happily. Those who miss nothing and have fun go to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. And the people were not sleeping, and we walked together in the courtyard. Moonlight is full of clear water in the courtyard, as clear as clear water, algae in the water, Nymphoides, the original is the shadow of bamboo and cypress. Where there is no moon, there are no bamboos and cypresses, but there are few idle people like me.
The general idea is: On the night of October 12, 26, I took off my clothes to get ready for bed, and suddenly I found the moonlight bright and beautiful. What should I do and who should I share it with? So I came to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. I shouted outside the door, Lao Zhang, did you sleep? Lao Zhang said, not yet. I said, that is, sleep, get up. Hey. After hi, I said to Lao Zhang, alas, there is such a beautiful moonlight everywhere, but there are really not many people like you and me who are so carefree.
Fo Yin monk, like Lu Zhishen, likes eating meat and drinking. He is a flower monk. He knows that Su Shi has the same interests, so he often prepares wine and meat and asks Su Shi to share them. Once, he didn't know where he got a fish, and he was about to eat it. Suddenly Su Shi visited, and the monk thought it was broken. There was not enough fish to eat, so he didn't call him this time. What should I do? The monk hurriedly hid the fish under his chin.
By this time, Su Shi had come in and asked in a hurry. Monk, what's the next sentence of "Flowers and trees in the sun meet spring early"? The monk laughed: Are you kidding? Everyone knows that the next sentence of "Flowers and trees in the sun meet spring as early as possible" is more than a celebration for people who have accumulated kindness. Su Shi smiled: since there are fish under the chin, why not take them out and enjoy them together?
The monk was helpless, so he took it out and enjoyed it together.
if you eat meat and drink too much, your health will inevitably break down, so Su Shi got hemorrhoids about three years ago. At this time, he began to pay attention to health care: Dongpo lay man has been nothing but a knight and a meat since today. There is respect for guests, and prosperity is the third, which can be damaged but not increased. If someone calls me, take it first, and if the master doesn't make a mistake, he will stop. On the one hand, be quiet to raise happiness, on the other hand, broaden your stomach to raise qi, and on the other hand, save money to raise wealth. Yuanfu three years in August.
I, Su Dongpo, will only drink one wine and eat one plate of meat every day from today. If a distinguished guest comes, there will be at most three plates, only less and no more. If someone invites me to dinner, I should say hello to him in advance. If there is too much meat, I won't go. If you persist in this way, first of all, you can accumulate virtue, second, it is good for your health, and third, you can save money.
when it comes to saving money, some people want to say that Su Dongpo is a great writer and an official. How can he have no money? In fact, he really has no money.
After the Wutai Poetry Case, Su Shi was demoted once and again, once every one or two years from Tokyo, the political center, and once every three or four years, and as far as Hainan Province, which was the second only administrative punishment after being beheaded.
When he was demoted to Huangzhou, a man named Ma Mengde came all the way to follow him. It's said that Ma Mengde was also a strange man, and he didn't have a dime and returned it to idolize. In Dongpo Zhilin, Su Shi described this person as follows: Ma Mengde was born in the same age as his servant, and his servant was eight days younger. Those who are born at the age of 2 are not rich, but servants and dreams are the crown of poverty. That is, the two of us look at it, and we should be the first to push the dream.
I was born in the same month as Ma Mengde, but he is eight days younger than me. According to my observation, all the people born this year are poor. My dream and I are poor in poverty. Comparatively speaking, Ma Meng dreams more. He is a fighter in poverty.
In the middle of the night of the 2th day of the first month of Yimao, Su Shi woke up in a dream and found that he had dreamed of someone. He couldn't help but burst into tears, so he wrote:
Ten years of life and death are boundless. Don't think. Unforgettable. Thousands of miles away in a lonely grave, there is nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know when you meet, your face is covered with dust and your temples are like frost.
at night, I dream and suddenly return home. Xiao Xuan window. Dressing up. Care for each other without words, only tears thousands of lines It is expected that the heartbroken place every year, the moonlit night, short matsuoka.
It's been ten years since life and death unconsciously. Although I can't miss you all day, I can't forget that your grave is thousands of miles away and I never have a chance to talk to you about the situation after you left. Maybe now, you don't even know me, and your face is covered with dust and your temples are as white as frost. Just now, I had a dream. I saw you dressing up in front of the window of your hometown, just like that year. When you met each other, you were speechless, only tears could not stop. I think, how lonely and sad it is for you to guard the lonely grave alone on the hill with small pine trees shining on the bright moon.
Su Shi is a representative of the uninhibited school. Most of his works are bold and unrestrained, and there are few such delicate brushstrokes. However, this poem "Jiangchengzi" written by Yi Mao for his dead wife Wang Fu at midnight on the 2th of the first month is called the first mourning speech in the history of Chinese culture.
