Bodhisattva Man’s calligraphy works

Several thatched huts are leisurely near the water, with narrow shirts and short hats hanging in the willows. The flowers are red last year and bloom in the wind all night.

The new moon is dying, and I wake up late after being drunk at noon. What is the most important thing about love? Orioles chirp.

Several thatched houses were built leisurely along the river. Wearing a short hat and a narrow shirt, I walked among the hanging willows. This year's flowers are not as red as last year's flowers, because last year's spring breeze blew the flowers away. How could they not be red?

Tonight the moon is lying on its back on the treetops. I drank and got drunk at noon and it was night when I woke up. When it comes to what is the most relevant thing in the world to feelings, after much thought, the song of the oriole in the quiet mountain forest came to mind.

The creation time of "Bodhisattva Man" can be seen from its short preface that it was written in Wang Anshi's later years, when he retired to Zhongshan and improvised. At this time, Wang Anshi's reform failed and the new law was abolished. Wang Anshi resigned and left Beijing. His career and life plummeted, and there were earth-shaking changes.

The first sentence explains the poet's living environment. He wears a small hat and a narrow shirt, and lives in a thatched hut by the water. He used to wear a hooded python suit and lived in a splendid official residence, forming a sharp contrast. But even though the living environment has undergone tremendous changes, the poet shuttles among the weeping willows, admiring the red flowers, in a happy mood, with a peaceful and comfortable attitude towards life.

In the second sentence, the flowers were red last year, which makes me feel sad, because things have changed and people have changed. As we age, we are still old and homeless, and we can’t help but worry about the future. Not only are you worried about yourself, but you are also worried about the country and the people.

The third sentence is that you will wake up naturally after being drunk. You don’t have to worry about being late for court or being punished. You can be content and at ease.

The fourth sentence expresses his love for the oriole, thus showing the poet's lonely, arrogant and otherworldly character. Proud of the Fisherman Wang Anshi

Fisherman's Proud Poems and Paintings

The small bridge on the flat shore is surrounded by thousands of mountains, and the soft blue water lingers with flowers and grass. The hut has several graceful windows. If there is no dust, there will always be a spring breeze.

When I sleep on my pillow at noon, I hear the birds singing, and when I fall asleep, I feel like I am listening to the morning roosters. Suddenly I remembered my old friend, now my boss. Greedy dreams are good, but I forget about Handan Road at a loss.

The small bridge and flowing water are surrounded by the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the bustling green grass is surrounded by the green river water. Several huts are surrounded by deep and beautiful bamboo forests. There is always no dust in the house because the warm spring breeze often comes to clean it for me.

When I woke up in the beautiful afternoon, my ears were filled with the crisp chirping of birds. As I lay on my pillow, I couldn't help but think of my old days as an official. Every time I listened to the morning cockcrow, I felt like I was in another world. Suddenly I remembered that all my old friends were old and I would end up in the same way. Now I am enjoying my leisure and have long forgotten my dream of making achievements in my early years.
