In Chinese history, there is no more unlucky literati than Su Shi, and there is no more optimistic literati than Su Shi. He really did what he did, what he loved, and he did everything in the first place. Xiao Wenqing likes to wail a sentence of "always love life, always have tears in my eyes". Or study hard with your Uncle Su Shi, what is really life, what is open-minded and optimistic.
Su Shi's youthful years.
19-year-old Su Shi, followed his brother to Beijing to catch the exam, a rural boy in a remote place in Sichuan, an article "On the Punishment and Reward of Loyalty" shocked the capital, but unfortunately Su Shi deserved a second place. There is another interesting thing behind it, the chief examiner that day was Ouyang Xiu, a famous scholar, he was shocked by Su Shi's fresh and free words, but looking at the handwriting, he mistakenly thought it was his student Zeng Gong. In order not to fall into the tongue, Ouyang Xiu endured the pain and sentenced him to second place. When the test paper was made public, I found out that it was the little-known Su Shi.
Ouyang Xiu praised Su Shi when he met people, predicting that he "This person can be said to be good at reading and using books, and he will be alone in the world in his daily articles." Ouyang Xiu's words are right, Su Shi's poems are unique, and they have been passed down through the ages. He foresaw that Su Shi would shine in the literary world in the future, but he failed to tell Su Shi, you better stay away from the government. Su Shi's career is called an unlucky summary, he has the talent and ambition to govern the country, and soon after entering the office, he met Wang Anshi's change of law and was degraded to Hangzhou and Zhizhou. Later, the "Wutai Poetry Case" made Su Shi depreciate again and again, from the prosperous Hangzhou to the more remote Danzhou, Hainan.
A wonderful combination of an unlucky officialdom and an optimistic life.
Fortunately, Su Shi has a good mentality, and the officialdom is unwilling, and he can't delay him from becoming a lifer. The degraded life is not good, he has no money, and he can't even afford the mutton he likes. Su Shi found another way, he couldn't afford to eat mutton, but he could always afford pork. He observed that the rich in Huangzhou disdained to eat pork, and the poor did not know how to make pork. Su Shi studied it, tried to simmer slowly over a small heat, put a small amount of water, and actually created the famous Chinese dish "Huangzhou Dongpo Meat".
Ode to Pork "Clean washing bell, less water, firewood smoke can't be burned." Don't rush him when he is familiar with himself, and he is beautiful when he is full. Huangzhou is a good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt. The noble refuse to eat, the poor do not understand how to cook, get up in the morning and make two bowls, so that they are full of their own kings. ”
Su Dongpo likes meat to a certain level. One day, he went to the temple to Xi, chanting sutras and chewing meat on his mouth. Su Shi ate so well that the monk on the side couldn't stand it anymore and stopped: "Don't eat meat when chanting." Su Shi thought of a way, ate a bite of meat, drank water and rinsed his mouth, and then chanted, so that there was no pollution of the end of Buddhism. The monk stopped again, "How to gargle with a d of water!."Su Shi apologized again and again, saying, "I'm ashamed, Li Huide!."”。
Don't look at Su Shi's usual happiness, occasionally thinking of his career is unsuccessful, and he is still indignant. Building embankments, repairing yellow buildings, and planting green pines, Su Shi was relegated to that place, and he worked diligently for the welfare of the people, why couldn't he get the emperor's appreciation?In the end, Su Shi came up with the reason and blamed himself for his bad life.
The person Su Shi admires the most is Han Yu, one day I saw Han Yu's diary, and found that the idol and himself were both Capricorns, with similar fates, and couldn't help but sigh.
The birthday of my birth, the moon is in Nandou. 'It is the grinding scorpion that knows the retreat as the body palace, and the servant is the grinding scorpion as his life, and he has many slanders in his life, and he is also the same disease. ”
Han Yu and I are both Capricorns, this sign has been slandered many times in our lives, and we are all poor people who share the same disease.
Thinking of the sadness, Su Shi hurriedly took a bite of lychee to comfort his wounded heart. Cao Cao sighed, "How to solve worries, only Du Kang." For Su Shi, the only way to solve his worries is to eat and eat. Su Shi came to Huizhou, Guangdong, and tasted the legendary palace tribute lychee. Su Shi couldn't control it and wrote several poems one after another.
There is no need to wait for the concubine to laugh, the wind and bones are self-contained. I don't know if the heavens have intentions, send this stunner to the corner of the sea. ”
Su Shi was optimistic, he was relegated to Huizhou, and he also sighed that he was living a good life, and Yang Guifei rarely ate lychees, he didn't need to wait, he could eat as much as he wanted.
Su Shi likes to eat lychees, how many lychees can he eat at one time?He wrote, "I eat 300 lychees a day, and I don't want to be a Lingnan person." "Su Shi said that he can eat 300 lychees a day, isn't this bragging?Lychees are delicious, but if you eat too much, they will easily catch fire. With Su Shi's order of 300 lychees a day, he hasn't eaten it yet, and his mouth should be full of bubbles. At that time, lychees were expensive, and they were a tribute to the court, and with Su Shi's salary, they must not be able to afford it. Eating 300 lychees a day can only be imagined in a dream.
Su Shigui is the local **, and his status is equivalent to the current mayor. Such an identity can't afford to buy lychees, think about the current lychees, it is still possible for ordinary people to eat 300 a day. Sighing at the progress of the times, economic development, and the food that the emperor and general could afford to eat, now the people can eat it casually.
Su Shi, one of the most revered literary giants in Chinese history, has experienced both glory and setbacks in his life, and his talent has been frustrated with frequent setbacks in his career, but Su Shi's optimism and love for life are deeply admired.
First of all, Su Shi's bumpy experience in the career shows his tenacity and optimism. was relegated to a remote place and encountered officialdom turmoil many times, but Su Shi did not become decadent because of this. On the contrary, he faced adversity with a positive attitude and put his heart and soul into the work for the benefit of the people. The construction of embankments, the repair of yellow buildings, and the planting of green pines all show Su Shi's open-mindedness to seek happiness for the people without fear of hardships and dangers. His persistence and optimism set a noble example for future generations.
Secondly, Su Shi's rich attitude in life has also established a positive outlook on life for us. Although in the days of debasement, life was not rich, and even the beloved mutton was difficult to taste. However, Su Shi was not crushed by the predicament, but embraced everything in life with an open-minded attitude. He discovered the disdain of the rich people in Huangzhou for pork and the phenomenon that the poor would not do to it, and skillfully created the "Huangzhou Dongpo Meat", turning the trivial things of life into a unique art. This kind of calm and calm attitude towards pursuing a better life everywhere is worth learning from Xi.
Su Shi's love for food is even more impressive. In particular, I love lychees, and I can eat as many as 300 lychees a day. Although this unique pursuit of food was a symbol of luxury at the time, Su Shi did not forget his love for beautiful things because of the change of status. With ordinary pleasures and delicious food, he fills the emptiness brought about by the layers of setbacks in life.
In the end, Su Shi's open-mindedness is even more vivid when dealing with the injustice of fate. He was deeply inspired by Han Yu and realized that he and his idol were both Capricorns, and they were also tormented by slander. However, instead of indulging in self-pity because of this, he chose to treat his fate with a forgiving heart. In the helplessness of the derogatory, he expressed his helplessness about his own fate and his deep thinking about the times.
On the whole, although Su Shi's life is full of twists and turns, he shows an admirable philosophy of life with an optimistic attitude and love for life, as well as an open-minded heart that he maintains in difficult situations. His story is not only a great story in the history of literature, but also a lesson in life that can be enlightened for everyone. Perhaps, when we are facing difficulties, we can learn Xi from Su Shi's tenacity and optimism, and face the twists and turns of life with a broad mindset, so as to better go through the journey of life.
