In the fifth year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, our great poet Su Shi was exiled to Chibi, Huangzhou, Hubei Province on the bank of the Yangtze River. Facing the roaring river, he sighed, "As the river goes eastward, the waves are washed away, and the romantic figures of the ages are to the west of the fortress."

, became an eternal song.

But many people may not know that this Chibi is not the ancient battlefield of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms period, and the famous poem "Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia" that we are familiar with through the ages was precisely written during the most frustrated period of Su Shi's career.

Life is like chocolate beans, you never know what the next one will taste like.

Three years ago, Su Shi, who was famous in the literary world and famous in Bianjing, once expressed his gratitude to the emperor when he was appointed as the magistrate of Huzhou. However, his words were taken out of context by Wang Anshi's reformists and slandered as a satire of the New Deal. Therefore,

Su Shi was transferred back to Beijing and imprisoned in Yushitai awaiting investigation and disposal.

The crow-filled Yushitai is also called "Wutai", from which the "Wutai Poetry Case" got its name. After being detained for 103 days, Su Shi saved his head because of the Song Dynasty's "Don't kill scholar-bureaucrats" training.

, was demoted to Huangzhou, Hubei Province as deputy envoy for regiment training without any real power. Although the depression and unwillingness swept through his chest day and night, Su Shi knew how to adjust his mentality. He traveled around Red Cliff and wrote two poems:

"Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia", "Previous Chibi Ode", and "Post Chibi Ode" attracted countless likes, collections and coins. When I reclaimed the east slope of the city, I felt that farming was more suitable for me. From then on, the "Dongpo layman" became the Northern Song Dynasty

A big IP in the history of literature, and more importantly, in addition to creating and being an official, Su Dongpo also unlocked his new skill, that is - eating.

He laughed at himself for being busy with his mouth. He fished in the Yangtze River and made cakes in the Western Mountains. He never let go of the wild vegetables on the outskirts of the city or the pork in the market. He even wrote down poems and left recipes.

From "Boiled Fish Method" for cooking Jiangxian to "Ode to Dongpo Soup" for preparing vegetable soup, the most famous one is "Ode to Pork" which records the cooking method of "Dongpo Pork". In the Song Dynasty, from the court to the folk, mutton

Pork is the most important meat. Pork is not popular among people. In Su Shi's words, "the rich don't want to eat it, and the poor don't know how to cook it." However, with the promotion of Su Shi, pork began to appear in the hall of elegance.

During the Ming Dynasty, Dongpo's beloved pork finally became the most widely used meat in China. To this day, the famous dish of Dongpo Pork is still famous throughout the East Asian world, but the cooking method has been greatly improved.

That's Dongpo (not imprisoned by heaven and earth, not limited by time. A full belly is enough, and even a moment flows by itself. The shore is proud of chasing delicacies, and worldly affairs are not enough to disturb. On this day, the soul is healed by the elixir.) If Su Shi traveled through

In modern times, he is definitely a gourmet UP master with millions of fans!

Think about how Dongpo cuts the meat with a smile on his face. This is how Dongpo's meat should be done: clean the pan, use less water, and keep the firewood from burning. He turned on the gas stove and chanted,

Don't rush it until it's ripe. It'll be beautiful when the heat is sufficient. Huangzhou's good pork is as cheap as dung.

The rich refuse to eat it, and the poor do not know how to cook it.

He touched his moustache and said: The Dongpo pork cooked by me is worth a fortune!

"If you eat three hundred lychees a day, you will grow up to be a Lingnan native."

Su Shi's life went through many ups and downs. He had just been pardoned from Huangzhou and returned to Beijing. He offended Sima Guang's conservatives and was exiled to Huizhou, Guangdong, which spans more than half of China.

The weather was hot and rainy. In the courtyard at the foot of Luofu Mountain in Guangdong, Su Shi, who had always loved sweets, quickly peeled open the red lychees, one after another. Even if he had hemorrhoids at this time, he showed no fear. However, after a while,

The concubine may not necessarily smile after riding in the world of mortals, and eating lychees does not necessarily mean a high happiness index.

At that time, Huizhou was filled with miasma and diseases were common. As a relegated official, Su Shi's salary was meager. Because he was dissatisfied with the soil and water and lacked medicine, his only beloved concubine who stayed by his side after many years of hardship and corruption was lost. Su Shi was depressed.

The theme of the period, poverty, illness, and fear, was almost overwhelming this middle-aged man who had not yet had time to grieve. But even at the lowest point of his life, his interest in a certain aspect still supported his strong life.

Go down, needless to say, eat (even though I am the only one in the family now, I still have to eat well).

In Huizhou, in addition to lychees, there is also the story of Su Shi creating his own "sheep and scorpion". When we feast at the sheep and scorpion restaurant, it may be difficult to understand that Su Shi dragged his sick body and silently ate sheep nearly a thousand years ago.

The mood on my spine for the whole day, after all this calmed down, all that was left was the sentence he wrote: I wonder if Lingnan is good, but I said, this is my hometown.

(Manual funny) In the first year of the Jingguo period in the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi was sixty-six years old. This year he was finally pardoned and allowed to return to the capital. On his way back to the north, a painter made a portrait of him. At this time, he

, looking back on the present and looking back on the past, he has decided not to be surprised by favors or disgrace, and has no complaints or regrets. He wrote a poem for his self-portrait: The heart is like a gray tree, and the body is like a boat without ties.

I ask you about your life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou.
