When I first got to know Su Dongpo, I am afraid it was because of the poem he wrote for his wife, "Ten years of life and death are boundless, without thinking, and unforgettable", which makes people see an affectionate poem. Su Shi. His wife passed away a long time ago, but he still remembered her. A man would forget his old love when he has a new love, but Su Shi did not. He would always remember his wife in his heart.

I got to know Su Dongpo because of this poem, so I went to get to know him. After careful investigation, I discovered that he was a very versatile person, a gourmet who knew Dongpo Pork. He traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland with his "bamboo stick and mango shoes", and the poems he wrote have been passed down to this day. Su Dongpo's life was full of twists and turns. He was often demoted because of his "inopportuneness", but he remained optimistic and unrestrained throughout his life. Let’s take a look at how Su Dongpo perfected his triple role. First, Su Dongpo is a person who can discover and create delicious food anytime and anywhere

Su Dongpo's ability to become a person who can discover and create delicious food wherever he goes is actually related to his life experience as an official. Su Shi passed the Jinshi examination at the age of twenty-one and became an official. If he served as an official well, his future would be unlimited. However, he always went against those in power, so he was constantly demoted. This made his culinary journey a success.

The first time he was demoted was when Wang Anshi was reforming, he created Dongpo Rou

He opposed Wang Anshi, so he was demoted to Hangzhou twice. He himself didn't care, he led others to build the "Su Causeway" and was busy making delicious food. He was framed again because of the Wutai Poetry Case. Later, after he was released from prison, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and served as deputy envoy of Tuanlian.

In Hangzhou and Huangzhou, Su Dongpo created "Dongpo Pork", which is now braised pork. Because only the nobility who can afford mutton can afford delicacies, Su Shi's official position was low and his salary was meager. He saw that the price of pork was cheap, but too many people bought it for food, so he pioneered the food of "Dongpo Pork". Law.

After being demoted for the second time, when Zhang Dunhou was in office, he created the Sheep and Scorpion

Later, Sima Guang came to power and carried out reforms. This time, he denied Sima Guang, believing that Wang Anshi’s reforms were still There were merits, so he was demoted again. Seven years later, Zhang Dun came to power. He supported the reform. Because Su Dongpo was transferred back to Beijing during the Sima Guang period, Su Dongpo continued to be the target of attack.

He was first demoted to Huizhou. When he was in Huizhou, he also created the practice of sheep and scorpions. He couldn't afford mutton, so he ate mutton bones. After some cooking, the delicious mutton scorpion was born. Later, he went to Lingnan, where he also discovered delicious lychees. "I ate 300 lychees a day and became a Lingnan native without hesitation."

After being demoted for the third time, he was demoted to Danzhou (Hainan), where he discovered how to eat oysters

Later he was demoted to Danzhou (Hainan). When he was demoted to Danzhou, he thought that he could only eat seafood near the sea. Although "oysters" are very delicious now, at that time, oysters were just like crabs and no one dared to eat them. So Su Shi became the first person to eat crabs. He brought the delicious taste of oysters into people's lives. Second, where Su Dongpo was an official, his travels would be there

I thought that Su Dongpo had been an official in so many places, so he had the opportunity to travel all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Because he was demoted, Su Shi didn't have much money to travel, but he measured it through his steps - "A bamboo stick and mango shoes are better than a horse, and you can live your whole life in the misty rain."

Through Su Dongpo’s poems, we can see the value that travel brought to him. He visited great rivers and mountains, and also experienced various aspects of life. Because he traveled far and saw much, he Being able to understand the hardships of people's livelihood, wherever he served as an official, he always had good political connections and people. This was all due to his merits and talents. Third, Su Dongpo’s poetry ranks among the eight great poets of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and his status in the poetry world is unquestionable

Although looking at Su Dongpo’s poetry, we can know that his life was very positive, open-minded and calm, but he My life is full of extraordinary things. Because he became famous at a young age, but because his stance was wrong and untimely, even though he had good political achievements, he was always demoted. He was demoted to as far away as Hainan. He was not pardoned until he was 61 years old, but he has not yet returned. He died on the way to the capital.

Although he had a rough life, he always had a cheerful and optimistic attitude. He never gave up the creation of poetry during this process. His ranking among the eight great poets of the Tang and Song Dynasties is a recognition of his status in the poetry world.

"As the river goes eastward, the waves are swept away, and the romantic figures of the ages", in the long river of time, he will not be forgotten, he will always exist in our hearts, "May people live long and thousands of miles*** "Chanjuan", she remains in the depths of memory like a bright moon.
