1. Young and frivolous

Su Dongpo read some books when he was a teenager and was often praised by his teachers because of his intelligence. Quite conceited, I posted a couplet in front of my house: "Know all the words in the world and read all the books in the world." Su Shi, Su Shi, how many words do you know in the world? Do human books have geometry? China has been up and down for thousands of years, how many dynasties and generations, and how many ancient Chinese characters are there? Millions of square kilometers, 56 nationalities, how many languages and languages are there? Do people who "know all the characters in the world" dare to pretend to be "know all the characters in the world"? When his mother, Cheng Shi (an old man), came back, she criticized Su Shi, so Su Shi changed the couplet to "I am determined to read all the books in the world" to encourage myself.

2, Su Shi "bullied" the teacher

Su Shi took an examination of the Jinshi and wrote a great article in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was called "The Theory of Rewarding Loyalty by Punishment", including the following paragraphs:

When Yao was a scholar, Hao Tao would kill people, Hao Tao said "the third killing" and Yao said "the third killing", so the world was afraid.

Four Yue said "Gun can be used", Yao said "No, Gun can command the clan", and then he said "Try it". He Yaozhi didn't listen to Hao Tao's murder, but took advantage of the four mountains. However, the sage's intention can also be seen. At that time, the examiner was the famous Ouyang Xiu, who was very appreciative of Su Shi's article, but people with historical knowledge knew that Hao Tao was the judicial officer of Shun. Does it have anything to do with Yao? Ouyang Xiu naturally didn't understand this. After reading it again and again, he went to ask Su Shi. Su Shi said that the answer was in the Biography of the Three Kingdoms and Kong Rong. However, after Ouyang Xiu repeated it many times, he still couldn't find the source, so he went to ask Su Shi again. Su Shi had to honestly answer that it was his own fabrication, but Ouyang Xiu was even more puzzled. Su Shi said that in the biography of the reflection of Kong Rong, Kong Rong said that Shang Zhouwang had rewarded the Duke of Zhou with da ji, and Cao Cao asked if it was possible. Kong Rong answered that it existed today and should have existed in ancient times. Su Shi invented such a story on this basis, which made Ouyang Xiu appreciate Su Shi more.

3. Dongpo Meat

When Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, there was a famous doggerel in Ode to Pork: "Huangzhou is good pork, and the price is worthless. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't understand cooking. Slow down the fire, less water, and it will be beautiful when the fire is full. Get up and play a bowl every day, so full that you can't care about it. " Here's "slow fire, less water, it is beautiful when the fire is full", which is the famous Dongpo meat cooking method. Su Dongpo was later appointed as the governor of Hangzhou, built the Su Causeway and promoted water conservancy, and was deeply loved by the people. And this "Dongpo Meat" followed suit and became famous in Hangzhou, becoming a famous local dish.

4. Su Shi checked out

Su Shi lives in Changzhou. He spent his last savings and bought a house. He was preparing to move in another day. By chance, he heard an old woman crying very sadly. He asked the old woman why she was crying. The old woman said that she had a house that had been handed down for a hundred years and was sold by unfilial descendants, so she cried bitterly. On closer examination, it turned out that the house that Su Shi bought was what the old woman called an ancestral house. So Su Shi said to her: "The former residence of Yi was sold by me, so there is no need to be deeply saddened. Now it is time to return the house to Yi." Su Shi immediately burned the deed and just rented a house to live in. (See Song Fei Zhou's "Poems on Liangxi Man")

5. Poetry for a banquet

When Su Shi was twenty years old, he went to the capital for scientific research. Six conceited juren looked down on him, and decided to invite Su Shi to dinner for the next kind of food, intending to tease him. Su Shi went with pleasure after receiving the invitation. Before chopsticks were moved, everyone proposed a drinking order, and the contents of the drinking order must quote historical figures and events, so that they could eat a dish by themselves. The other five people cheered. "I'll go first." The older one said, "Jiang Ziya is fishing in Weishui!" Say that finish took a plate of fish. "Qin Shubao Changan sells horses!" The second proudly carried the horse meat away. "Su Ziqing is herding sheep in Beihu Lake!" The third person took the mutton without weakness. "Zhang Yide Zhuoxian sells meat!" The fourth one reached out and grilled the meat. "Guan Yunchang Jingzhou scraping bones!" The fifth one couldn't wait to take the bone. "Zhuge Liang grows vegetables in Longzhong!" The sixth proudly picked up the last green vegetable. All the dishes were finished, and when the six juren were happily preparing to laugh at Su Shi while eating, Su Shi unhurriedly sang, "Qin Shihuang annexed six countries!" " After that, he put all six dishes in front of him and smiled: "Please, brothers!" Six juren stupefied.

6. Get ahead

When Su Shi was in Beijing, the presiding officer was Ouyang Xiu, a famous literary master in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he was examining and approving papers, he was fascinated by Su Shi's gorgeous and superb writing style. In order to prevent favoritism, the examination papers at that time were all anonymous. Therefore, although Ouyang Xiu wanted to choose this article as the first, he felt that this article was very similar to that written by his protege Ceng Gong, and he was afraid of falling behind the population, so he finally rated the second. It was not until the publication of the list that Ouyang Xiu knew that the author of the article was Su Shi. After knowing the real situation, Ouyang Xiu regretted it, but Su Shi didn't care at all. Su Shi's generosity and outstanding talent made Ouyang Xiu admire: "Such a young talent should really make him stand out from the crowd (the source of idioms)!" And officially accepted Su Shi as a disciple.

7. Family Reunion

After Su Shi won the second place in high school, the Su's three fathers and sons and the Su Xiaomei family, who are famous for their "Three Difficulties" in Qin Shaoyou, gathered in the garden to celebrate. Su Xun, the father of Su Shi, proposed the word "cold and fragrant", and each person wrote two poems, all of which were in line with the situation at that time. In order to take the lead, Su Laoquan walked slowly to the edge of the flower pond, chanting: "Water flows cold from the stone edge, and the wind comes from the flower." Zi You stood up and picked a fragrant wintersweet, flicked his finger, and said, "Cold words are unknown, and plum blossoms are playing all over his fingers." Little sister also went to pick flowers, but Zi wanted to laugh at him for imitating himself, but little sister said, "Make the cuckoo's throat cold and stay in Hua Hudie for a dream." Say that finish spread out the palm, a butterfly has been crushed to death. The daughter's characteristics were exposed, and everyone cheered in unison. Su Shi brushed a stone bench and rode away. Su Laoquan shouted, "My son, don't go without an answer." Before his voice fell, Su Shi had a long voice: "The clothes are cold when you brush the stone, and the horseshoe fragrance is gone when you step on the flowers"!

8. Making cakes to offer sacrifices to Buddha

Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian live in Jinshan Temple. One day, they made bread to eat. The two agreed not to tell the monk Fo Yin in the temple about this cake fight. After a while, when the cake was cooked, they counted the number, first presented the cake to the Guanyin Bodhisattva, bowed down and prayed diligently. Unexpectedly, Fo Yin had been hidden in the account of God in advance, and when they knelt down to pray, they reached out and stole two cakes. After Su Shi finished worshipping, he got up and saw that two cakes were missing. Then he knelt down and prayed, "Guanyin Bodhisattva is so magical that she ate two cakes. Why didn't she come out to meet him?" Fo Yin replied in the account: "If I have noodles, I will join you to make some food. How dare I bother you?"

9. Reading poems and enjoying the moon

Su Dongpo is in Hangzhou and likes to make friends with monks in West Lake Temple. He and monk Fo Yin of Jinshan Temple are best friends. They often joke while drinking and reciting poems. Monks in Fo Yin are delicious. Whenever Su Dongpo treats people at banquets, he always comes uninvited. One night, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to visit the West Lake, and many dining tables were prepared on board. When the cruise ship went offshore, Su Dongpo smiled and said to Huang Tingjian, "Fo Yin will arrive at every party. Tonight, we will take a boat to the lake to drink and sing poems and have a good time. He can't come anyway." Who knows that Fo Yin monk had learned that Su Dongpo was going to swim with Huang Tingjian, so he hid under the cabin board before they got on the boat. The bright moon is in the sky, the cool breeze is refreshing, and the lotus fragrance fills the lake. The cruise ship slowly comes to the Three Pagodas of the West Lake. Su Dongpo holds his glass and flicks his beard, and happily says to Huang Tingjian, "Today, without Fo Yin, we are quiet. Let's start with a wine order. The first two sentences should be immediate and the last two sentences should end with the word' zai'." Huang Tingjian said, "All right!" Su Dongpo said first: "What can the sky say when the clouds are parted and the bright moon comes out?"? What does the sky say? " Huang Tingjian looked at the lotus flowers all over the lake, and then said, "Lianping pushed aside and swam out, which was a good thing! Get what you want! "

At this time, Fo Yin couldn't help himself under the cabin board. As soon as Huang Tingjian said it, he pushed the cabin board away and climbed out, saying, "Pull the boat board aside and Fo Yin will come out. What a shame! Hey! " Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian were startled when they saw a man suddenly crawling out from under the planking. When they looked carefully, it turned out to be Fo Yin, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard him say such four poems. Su Dongpo took Fo Yin to sit down and said, "You hid it well, and you were right. You ate it again today!" So, the three of them enjoyed the moon and swam around the lake, talking and laughing.

1. Dongpo Fish

Su Shi is not only a master of literature, but also good at food. Besides Dongpo elbow, Su Xueshi is also good at cooking fish, and his cooking fish is a must. Once, Su Shi was very happy. He cooked fish himself and just cooked it. He saw Huang Tingjian come in through the window (Huang Tingjian was one of the four great fonts in ancient China, and he was a close friend of Su Shi. They often took pleasure in bickering). Knowing that he was here to wipe the rice again, he hurriedly hid the fish at the top of the cupboard. When Huang Tingjian entered the door, he said, "Ask Brother Zi Zhan today, dare you ask Su Shi how to write Su?" Su Shi responded with a long face: "Su Zhe, the grass is on the left and the fish is on the right." Huang Tingjian added, "Can you put this fish on the right?" Su Shi said, "Not bad." Huang Tingjian went on: "Is this fish ok?" Su Shi said, "How can fish be put on it?" Huang Tingjian pointed to the top of the cupboard and said with a smile, "Since Brother Zi Zhan also knows this truth, why did you put fish on it? ！” Su Shi, who has always been quick-witted, was completely beaten by Huang Tingjian this time!

11. Fruit and medicine

Shortly after Su Shi's marriage, he was invited to visit Liu Gong's father's house. When he arrived there, the servant came to ask him to go back at once and said that his wife was in a hurry. Liu Gong's father was sarcastic and intoned: "Fortunately, it is early (apricot, jujube and plum) and calm (cistanche deserticola is a traditional Chinese medicine)." This sentence contains three fruit names and one medicine name. Without looking back, Su Shi got on the saddle and walked away. As he walked, he said, "This thing (apple, cane and persimmon) must be angelica (angelica is the name of Chinese medicine)." Dongpo's talent is really admirable.

12, a line between life and death

After Su Shi went to prison, Emperor Shenzong sent a little eunuch to pretend to be a prisoner and sleep with Dongpo in order to test whether he hated the son of heaven. When eating during the day, the little eunuch teased him with words. Su Shi ate with relish and replied, "Let the weather thunder and lightning, my heart will not move!" " At night, he fell asleep, and the little eunuch teased, "Isn't it a pity that Su Xueshi sleeps in such a bed?" Su Shi ignored it and replied with a snore. The little eunuch woke him up early the next morning and said, "Congratulations, your Excellency, you have been pardoned." You know, that night was extremely dangerous. As long as Su Shi has a little complaint and a strange behavior of eating badly and sleeping unsteadily, it is at stake. In fact, Emperor Shenzong is also a fool. How can you not see it by sending a eunuch to rely on Su Shi's intelligence?

13. Self-restraint

After the restoration of the conservatives in the imperial court, Sima Guang, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty who was famous for smashing the jar, worshipped the phase again, and the new law was completely abolished. At this time, Su Shi, who is also a conservative, advocated that the new law should not be completely denied, but should be treated differently, so he had a fierce conflict with Sima Guang and was once again demoted to Guazhou. Although Su Shi believes in Buddhism, he doesn't like monks. I heard that there was a famous monk named Fo Yin in Jinshan Temple in Guazhou. Su Shi was not convinced after hearing this, so he decided to meet the old monk on the mountain for a while! In the temple, Su Shi talked from the emperor to the civil and military officials, and from governing the country to being a man. The monk listened quietly. When Su Shi saw that Fo Yin had been silent, he looked down on him from his heart. I thought to myself: everyone said that he had the ability. It turned out that he was a straw bag and came here to cheat some incense money! The topic slowly came to Buddhism. At this time, Fo Yin asked: "What kind of person should Lao Na be in the eyes of your husband?" Su Shi was full of contempt and casually replied, "You are capable in the eyes of ordinary people, but that's because they are shallow. In fact, you are a liar every day without real talent and learning!" Fo Yin smiled, silent answer. Su Shi saw that he not only looked down on the monk more, but also gloated himself, so he asked, "Who am I, Master Su, in your eyes?" "You are a very learned and cultured person. It's better to be old-fashioned than to lose money!" Fo Yin replied. After returning home, Su Shi proudly told his little sister how to make monks in the morning, and Su Xiaomei laughed so hard that his meal gushed out. Su Shi was puzzled and asked, "Why does little sister laugh?" "You belittle the monk. Instead of being angry, he praised you. Who do you say is cultivated? How can you cultivate yourself without learning? You still think you are better than others? Shame on you, you don't even know! " . After listening to this, Su Shi suddenly realized that he had become a best friend with Master Fo Yin since then.

14. The "bones" are not cold

One day, Su Shi and Fo Yin took a boat trip to Slender West Lake. Master Fo Yin suddenly took out a fan with Dongpo's poems written on it, threw it into the river and shouted, "Water flowing Dongpo's poems (corpses)!" At that time, Su Shi was stunned, but quickly smiled and pointed to a dog gnawing bones on the river bank, chanting: "Dogs gnaw bones on the river (monks)!"

15. Dongpo eats grass.

Su Shi went to Jinshan Temple to visit Master Fo Yin. Unexpectedly, the master was not there, and a little novice monk came to open the door. Su Shi proudly asked, "Where is the bald donkey?" . Little novice monk calmly pointed to the distance and replied, "Dongpo eats grass!" "

16, couplet to retreat from the enemy

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song people were repeatedly violated by Liao State. However, the imperial court, which was bent on peace, attracted an envoy from Liao State, and sent a couplet asking the Song people to answer correctly: Three Lights, the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. Withdraw troops and make peace if the bottom allied. This couplet seems simple, but it is not easy to be right. The numbers in the sentence are just the same as those in the back, and the numbers selected in the sentence correspond to more or less than three things. Su Shi, who happened to return to Beijing to report on his work, skillfully combined the upper and lower couplets with a stroke of a pen: four poems are elegant and ode. There are only three names for this couplet in the Four Poems, because there are "elegance" and "elegance" in the Book of Songs, which are collectively called "elegance". In addition, there are four parts of "national style" and "ode to poetry", so the Book of Songs is also called "four poems". The quip is natural, and Liao admires it to the extreme.

17. There must be a teacher for three people.

Su Shi, his younger sister and Huang Tingjian enjoy paintings in one day. See the above topic: breezy willows, pale moon plum blossoms. Look, it's a four-character couplet, but there's a word in the middle. Little sister suggested adding words in the middle to become a five-character couplet. Huang Tingjian grabbed the right thing: dancing in the breeze and dancing in the willows, hiding the plum blossoms in the light moon. Su Shi filled in: the breeze shakes the willow and the light moon reflects the plum blossom. Little sister thought for a moment and immediately responded, filling in the words to make it become: the breeze helps the willow, and the plum blossoms are lost in the light moon. Throughout the three-person couplets, Xiaomei is the best: the word "Fu" not only writes about the softness of the wind and the delicacy of the willow, but also writes about the intimacy between the wind and the willow, which is more vivid; The word "lost" is also more appropriate than the word "hidden", which not only emphasizes the bright moonlight, but also gives consideration to the cleanliness of plum blossoms, highlighting the scene of the integration of the two, which is more consistent and appropriate.

18. His plan

Although Fo Yin, a close friend of Su Shi, is a monk, he never avoids wine and meat. On this day, Fo Yin fried fish and drank wine, which happened to be Su Shi's visit. Fo Yin quickly hid the fish under the big fish. Su Shi had already smelled the smell of fish, but he didn't see it when he entered the door. He remembered that he had been tricked by Huang Ting that day, and he turned his mind and deliberately said, "Today, I came to ask the master, what is the next sentence of Xiangmendi Chunchang?" Fo Yin was deeply surprised that his old friend read an old sentence known to everyone, and he blurted out the following sentence: It is more than a celebration to accumulate good deeds. Su Shi clapped his hands and laughed: "Since there is fish (surplus) in the Qing Dynasty, let's accumulate some goodness and enjoy it."

19. Wushan River

Once, Su Shi asked his brother out.
