Su Shi was a literary leader in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, and made great achievements in poetry, ci, writing, calligraphy and painting. Poetry has a wide range of themes, fresh and healthy, uses exaggerated metaphors and has a unique style. Also known as "Su Huang" with Huang Tingjian. Xin Qiji is the representative of the unconstrained style, also known as "Su Xin".
His prose is bold and unconstrained, and he is called "Ou Su" with Ouyang Xiu, and "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties" with Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi and Ceng Gong. He is good at calligraphy, and is also called "Song Sijia" with Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang.
Anecdotal allusions:
1, gourmet everyone
Su Shi is a gourmet himself, and there are many records of Su Shi's invention of food in the note novels of the Song Dynasty. When Su Shi learned about Hangzhou, during May and June of five years in Yuan You, there was heavy rain in western Zhejiang and Taihu Lake flooded.
Su Shi directed the dredging of the West Lake and the construction of Su Causeway. Hangzhou people thanked him. During the Chinese New Year, everyone carries pigs and drinks to pay a New Year call to him. Su Shi instructed his family to dice the pork, burn it red and crisp, and then give it to everyone. This is the origin of Dongpo meat.
2. Leizhou West Lake
The West Lake in Leizhou, Guangdong Province, formerly known as Luohu, was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty. Since the brothers Su Shi, a great writer, got drunk here, Luohu was renamed West Lake. In the seventh year of Song Shaosheng, Su Shi was demoted from Huizhou to Danzhou, passing through Leizhou, with a journey of thousands of miles. He was lucky enough to meet his brother Su Zhe, who was demoted to Lei, and he was both sad and happy.
My brother went boating in Luohu another day and was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Luohu. He doesn't want to go home. After swimming, he went to Tianning Temple by the lake to rest. Sioux City is still quite interesting. Here and now, I wrote the word "Wanshan is the first".
