Introduction to Su Shi

Su Shi was a writer, calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Su Shi was open-minded and straightforward by nature, and was deeply influenced by Taoism. Su Shi went to Beijing at the age of twenty-two to take part in the imperial examination. Su Shi's fresh and free style of writing immediately shocked them. Because Ouyang Xiu mistakenly believed that it was his disciple Zeng Gong, in order to avoid suspicion, he had to take second place. Su Shi became famous for a while, and gradually became more important after entering his official career.

Appreciation of Su Shi's poems

"Bu Shuanzi's Residence at Dinghuiyuan in Huangzhou"

The missing moon hanging on the sparse tung trees makes one's first tranquility disappear. Who can see lonely people coming and going alone, misty and solitary shadows.

When you start, you look back. There is no one to forgive you for your hatred. Picking out all the cold branches and refusing to live on them, the lonely sandbank is cold.

"Butterfly Love Flower·Spring Scene"

The flowers have faded to red, green and small apricots. When swallows fly, green water surrounds people. There are few willow trees blowing on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world!

There are swings in the wall and paths outside the wall. Pedestrians outside the wall, beautiful women smiling inside the wall. The laughter gradually becomes quieter and quieter, but the sentimental one is annoyed by the ruthlessness.
