In the ancient Chinese literary world, Su Shi can be called one of the talented literary giants. However, in addition to his talent, his relationships and friendships are also commendable. The innocent friendship between Su Shi and Chen Jichang was once one of the good stories of the Song Dynasty.
Su Shi first entered the officialdom and served in the official affairs of the Fengxiang Mansion Judge's Office, that is, Chen Xiliang's secretary general. Chen Xiliang was born in poverty and paid attention to etiquette, while the young Su Shi at that time was informal, and the two had friction in their work style. But Chen Xiliang's son Chen Jichang and Su Shi were like-minded, and the two became friends. They often discussed military strategy and the rise and fall of the past and the present, and Su Shi also learned archery skills from Chen Jichang. However, after Su Shi left, the two drifted apart.
19 years later, Su Shi met his friend Chen Jichang in Huangzhou. It turned out that in order to pursue Zen enlightenment, Chen Jichang gave up his family wealth, lived in solitude with his wife, and called himself a monk in Longqiu. Su Shi was demoted from Zhizhou to the deputy envoy of the regimental training, and he was quite depressed, but the reunion with Chen Jichang brought him some comfort.
Due to the lack of authority in his official position, Su Shi often invited Chen Jichang to play. At that time, courtesans were common in the Song Dynasty, and Su Shi, as a well-known person, was often accompanied by courtesans when he played. However, Chen Jichang's wife, Liu, was extremely strong and did not allow her husband to take a concubine, let alone go to the Hongchen place.
Once, Su Shi invited Chen Jichang to play, claiming that he was not accompanied by a courtesan, so he was able to get Liu's reluctant consent. However, the Liu clan sent someone to follow him, and when he learned that there was a courtesan with him, he was extremely angry, and Chen Jichang was severely reprimanded after returning home, and was punished to kneel by the pond. When Su Shi learned of this, he went to persuade him, but was reprimanded more violently by the Liu family and kicked him out of the house.
This experience was the first time for Su Shi, although he was dissatisfied, but he was helpless. So, he wrote a poem to express his feelings: "Longqiu monks are also pitiful, talking about sleepless nights. Suddenly, I heard the roar of the lion in Hedong, and the cane fell into the palm of my hand at a loss. Although this poem is not Su Shi's best work, it has been passed down through the ages because of the "roar of the lion in Hedong" and has become a commonly used idiom.
The friendship between Su Shi and Chen Jichang was blocked by the strength of his wife Liu, and the poem written by Su Shi left a strong mark in the long history. This twisty and bizarre human story not only witnesses the tenacity of friendship, but also allows people to understand a lot of the true meaning of human nature and idioms.
The friendship between Su Shi and Chen Jichang, as well as the dramatic story of this history, is really a human drama full of deep meaning and enlightenment.
First of all, the tenacity and sincerity of this friendship are touching. Su Shi and Chen Ji often met in officialdom, and they could have been estranged because of differences in identity and status. However, they have developed a deep friendship because of their like-minded interests and mutual appreciation. Even though time passes and fate is uneventful, they still maintain this friendship in the midst of changes in circumstances. This kind of sincerity transcends the boundaries of the world, and is worthy of our reference and understanding.
Secondly, the resolute attitude and strong image of the Liu family in the story are also worth discussing. Her requirements and restrictions on Chen Jichang were extremely strict, and even caused a rift between Chen Jichang and Su Shi. Although this behavior may have been considered to preserve the dignity of marriage and family at the time, it also led to reflections on the status and influence of women in the family. Her strong personality also hindered the development of male friendship at that time, and became a turning point in the story.
Finally, the poem written by Su Shi because of Liu's affairs is even more thought-provoking. The idiom "Hedong lion's roar" in the poem has become widely known and has become a classic praised by later generations. This is just like Su Shi's own situation, because of the momentary feelings and emotions, unexpectedly left a profound cultural impact. This also enlightens us that sometimes momentary feelings or emotions may have an unpredictable impact in the long course of history.
Overall, the story is not only about friendship and human affection, but also a piece of history that is full of drama and thought. It not only allows us to feel the emotional world and communication methods of the ancients, but also inadvertently conveys deep thoughts about human nature, emotions and values. Perhaps, in the present moment, we can also draw some wisdom about friendship, family, and emotional expression.
