Perhaps in life, we are more familiar with Su Dongpo's poem Niannujiao? Chibi nostalgia, Ding Fengbo, do not listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest. I almost failed in the college entrance examination (laughs). This time, through the documentary Su Dongpo, I found that he came out of the rigid figure in the book in my memory and became full of life. You are shocked by his talent and infected by his happiness ... He has an interesting soul that is hard to define.
Lin Yutang once commented that "Su Dongpo is a hopeless optimist, a great humanist, a friend of the people, a great writer, a great calligrapher, an innovative painter, an experimenter in brewing, an engineer, a puritanist, a Buddhist practitioner, a great Confucian politician, the emperor's secretary, Brewmaster, a kind judge and a political naysayer. Astronaut, poet, clown. But this is not enough to tell the whole story of Su Dongpo ... Su Dongpo is more versatile than other poets in China, rich in sense of change and sense of humor, with superior intelligence, but a naive child-this mixture is equal to the wisdom of snakes and the gentleness of pigeons. " But I have to say, in my mind, apart from his poems and articles, what impressed me most was his lotte and delicious food. After he was demoted to Huangzhou, Hubei Province, because his salary was too small to support his family, he personally took people to reclaim wasteland, built a straw house in the wasteland forest, and painted a snow scene on the wall of the house, named it "Dongpo Tang Xue", hence the name "Dongpo Jushi". Besides playing chess with people, I often learn cooking skills in my spare time and cook various dishes by myself. Even though life is so difficult, he still holds an extremely optimistic attitude and continues his food life. In his poem "First Arriving in Huangzhou", he wrote that "the Yangtze River knows the beauty of fish around the country, and the bamboo shoots in the mountains are fragrant". He didn't see any sadness of being demoted as an official, but obviously he was in a good mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery and taste the delicious food. Because pork in Huangzhou is very cheap, he also bought pork, stewed it with slow fire, and added seasonings such as onion, ginger, soy sauce and cooking wine to make the meat delicious. To this end, he also wrote "Pork Fu": "Huangzhou good pork, its price is as low as dirt. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't know how to cook. Clean the pot, no water, no firewood. Don't rush him when he is ripe, he will be beautiful when the heat is enough. I got up in the morning and played two bowls, so I was too full to care. " He also specially compiled his own poems and poems about food into Fu, such as Vegetable Soup Fu, Eating Pork Poetry, Bean Pork, Whale Journey and the famous Gourmet Fu. In the article, Su Shi ridiculed himself as a "gluttonous person" and jokingly declared: "The beauty of polymers is to support my gluttony." This changed him from an unattainable writer in our mind to a friend around us, which made us feel cordial at once.
So everyone in China has a Su Dongpo in his heart. As long as you read Song Ci, you can't avoid his "Niannujiao Red Cliff Nostalgia" and "Ten Years of Life and Death in Jiangchengzi"; As long as you practice your handwriting, you can't bypass his cold food post. Even if you don't practice calligraphy or read Song Ci, as long as you like to eat it, you must know his Dongpo pork ... He is an indescribable Su Dongpo, the most brilliant pearl in the history of China.
