The left leads the yellow, and the right is ......Thousands of horses roll Pinggang, Su Dongpo's love for dogs can be seen from his poems. The "yellow" here is a dog he raised, a yellow hound. At the age when he was proud of the spring breeze and in his prime, he already had a hobby of raising dogs. This love for dogs can be said to have accompanied him all his life.
Even when he was relegated to Danzhou and his life was extremely difficult, he still adopted a dog and named it "Wuzui". He praised the dog in a poem: "Tame the guests by day, and be the gateway by night." During the day, the dog can greet and play with Mr. Dongpo's familiar friends and acquaintances, and at night, he dutifully guards Dongpo's door. This meticulous observation and affectionate praise of dogs reflects Mr. Dongpo's deep affection for dogs.
When Mr. Dongpo left Danzhou, he even took the "black mouth" with him, which shows how much he loves dogs. Another of his poems, "Yu Lai Dan Er, has to bark the dog and say "Wu Mao", which is very fierce and tame. With the relocation of Hepu, through Chengmai, swimming, passers-by are shocked. The play is for this poem", the black beak is a sea mastiff, fortunately I am the master. The surplus food has been fattened, and there is no worry in the end. Tame the guests during the day, and serve as the gateway at night. Knowing that I am still in the north, I am happy to dance when I turn my tail. Jumping and taking advantage of the servants, sticking out his tongue and panting for sweat. The long bridge refuses to tiptoe, and the diameter is clear and deep. Shoot like a goose and duck, and land on the shore to play a tiger. Stealing meat is also a small flaw, and the whip should be praised. Thank you again, and the heavens will not send words. He should send a letter to his family, and Huang Er Ding is the ancestor. He even wrote a poem for this dog, which shows his love for this dog.
In Su Dongpo's poems, the description of dogs is often full of poetry and emotion. Through delicate brushstrokes, he paints the image of the dog to life, while also incorporating his feelings for the dog into it. This blend of emotion and poetry makes his works even more infectious and charming.
The reason why Su Dongpo loves dogs so much may be because he has a heart that loves nature and life, and dogs, as one of the oldest and most loyal companions of human beings, have naturally become one of the objects of his emotional sustenance. On the other hand, the dog's loyal, intelligent, and lovable qualities may also resonate and love him.
In addition, Su Dongpo often uses the loyalty, intelligence and other qualities of dogs in his poems as metaphors for people's character and behavior. For example, in his "Dongpo Zhilin", he once wrote: "In the past, when you traveled to Lushan, you had to count dogs, one of which was very tame and wise, able to welcome and bark at guests, and everyone who came and went loved it." Here, he uses the cleverness of the dog as a metaphor for human wisdom and wit, expressing his praise and respect for the dog.
Su Dongpo's love and attention to dogs is not only reflected in his poetic works, but also in his daily life. His affection allows us to see the special emotional bond between him and the dog. And this emotional bond has also been fully embodied and sublimated in his works.
