After reading a famous book, I believe everyone has a lot worth sharing. Now let’s write a heartfelt review. Have you thought about how to write your review? The following are my thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" compiled by me for everyone. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 1
Su Dongpo is a great writer and scholar that I admire very much. He is a leader in literature and art in many fields, such as calligraphy, poetry, prose, etc., and has become a famous figure among everyone. , and he is also a gourmet, good at tasting and cooking. He is also a person who loves life and is an optimistic person by nature. When he encountered unfairness and exclusion, he did not blame others, but used his optimism to persist in doing things. Learning and living, this spirit is worth learning!
Su Dongpo was born in a scholarly family. His father was also the nationally famous essayist Su Xun. However, Su Xun had a very difficult time in the imperial examination. He was famous but not good at scientific examination. Therefore, The father had high expectations for his two sons. As a result, Su Shi got the second place in the scientific examination. According to historical records, the examiner Ouyang Xun was afraid that the Su Shi who was actually the first place was his disciple Zeng Gong, which would arouse doubts among the students, so he changed the decision to the second place. As a result, it turned out to be Su Shi. , which means that Su Shi is actually the number one scholar.
Su Shi was politically clear-headed and neither a hawk nor a dove. Therefore, he was suppressed and excluded by both factions. Both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang considered him a political enemy. Therefore, he once encountered the famous Wutai Poetry Case. Fortunately, Song Yingzong issued a decree to pardon him. These encounters were just attacks by political enemies.
Su Shi made many enemies in the court, so he was demoted repeatedly, and was demoted to Danzhou, a barbaric place known as a life of nine deaths, which is now Hainan Island. However, Su Shi not only did not become decadent and disappointed. , lived stronger, running schools and educating local people. After that, Hainan also produced some Jinshi and Juren. These were all students of Su Shi, which shows the great influence of culture.
I want to learn from Su Dongpo, become an optimistic person, and add brilliance to my life! Comments after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 2
Nowadays, when mentioning Su Dongpo, almost everyone knows that he was a great poet and prose writer in the Song Dynasty, and one of the eight great writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties. However, he is not only a good poet, but also an outstanding calligrapher. But in comparison, Su Shi is more famous.
Su Dongpo was born in the third year of Jingyou reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty and died in the first year of Jingguo reign of Emperor Huizong. He grew up during the reign of the best emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, served as an official during the reign of a kind-hearted but ambitious emperor, and was demoted when an eighteen-year-old idiot ascended the throne. Therefore, reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" is also understanding an epic about the rise and fall of the Northern Song Dynasty. When talking about Su Dongpo, we have to mention Wang Anshi, a person who had a great relationship with him. As we all know, Wang Anshi was a famous poet at that time, and he was also Su Dongpo's political opponent. Under the corrupt politics of the time, Wang Anshi used all means to implement his new social reform laws and dismissed all those who advocated dissent. However, the result of publicizing the New Deal was that in the years of good harvests, the lives of farmers were miserable. They had to flee their villages to avoid being pursued by officers and soldiers. However, Su Dongpo could only cry out to heaven for help, but he was unable to lend a helping hand. It can be seen from this that how terrible the court was when the honest and wise ministers were persecuted and villains were in power!
The reason why Su Dongpo has a special status in history is, firstly, because he has always been firm and unswerving in his principles; secondly, because of the outstanding beauty of his poetry, calligraphy and painting. Su Dongpo skillfully described his own way of writing, which was like "moving clouds and flowing water". Perhaps, the six words "can make readers happy" are the most appropriate to evaluate Su Dongpo's works. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 3
I have been reading Su Dongpo's poems since I was a child. There is hope that people will last forever, the sadness of traveling thousands of miles away from Chanjuan; and the momentum of traveling across the river to the east... These all reflect Su Dongpo's rich emotions and heroic spirit. Yesterday I finished reading the book Biography of Su Dongpo, which gave me a deeper understanding of Su Dongpo.
Throughout Su Dongpo’s life, behind his outstanding talents, how many unknown sadnesses of being promoted several times were there? He was an official all his life and was honest all his life. He also battled wits and wits with Wang Anshi, a great writer, great statesman and prime minister of the Song Dynasty. As for whether Wang Anshi's reforms are good or bad, we don't care. But Su Dongpo dared to go against the emperor's favorite ministers and the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty. How much courage was needed to use his broad heart to fight against those villains who excluded good ministers and favored nepotism.
In the final analysis, Su Dongpo’s life goal is to improve the lives of the people. Su Dongpo paid more attention to the happiness or suffering of the people. As long as he believes that a certain policy is not beneficial to the people and is contrary to saving the people from dire straits, he will definitely fight against it.
After reading this book, I came up with a question: How to get promoted step by step at that time? The most important thing is not to offend those in power. For example, Zheng Xia was the first person in the country to severely defeat Wang Anshi, and was exiled. Another example is that the prefect of Leizhou warmly entertained Su Dongpo, an enemy of Prime Minister Zhang Dun, but was fired.
Su Dongpo seems not to understand this. He was upright and upright throughout his life, discerning right from wrong and seeking truth from facts.
Only for the people of the country. How worthy of praise this is.
Let us walk into Su Dongpo, witness this legendary figure, and appreciate his legendary life. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 4
Dongpo is a man among immortals, and he is comfortable chatting with Zen. ——Inscription
My favorite book is "The Biography of Su Dongpo"; the person I admire the most is Su Dongpo. He has the delicacy and tenderness of "I wish you a long life, and I will love the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away"; he has the rebelliousness of "the old man is chatting like a teenager, holding the yellow on the left and holding the blue sky on the right".
Lin Yutang called Su Dongpo a "naughty boy of nature" in "The Biography of Su Dongpo". It was precisely because of his willfulness and stubbornness that he had an optimistic heart under all circumstances. . The officialdom is like a sea, and the struggle between reformers and conservatives runs through his political career. His character is destined to be at the top of the wave. His integrity and ridicule made his political opponents hate him to the bone.
So it became "Ask you about your life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou". Lin Yutang described him as "a hopeless optimist", "a friend of the common people, a great Confucian politician", "an emperor's secretary and a kind judge". Perhaps it is because of his optimistic temperament that he has been slandered by villains. He implements Buddhist ideas to manage the people. He can lie in the vegetable field and talk to the farmers without any pretense. He indulged in landscapes, but at the same time decorated them, so Sudi was born. On the bumpy road, I did not see his tears, but his calmness, indifference and peaceful joy. He said: "The boat passed away from now on, and the river and sea left the rest of my life."
When Lin Yutang wrote this book, he did not beautify the image of Dongpo, but described it truthfully, eloquently, and occasionally Make fun of it. For example, when Su Dongpo's eldest son was born, he said that it was fortunate that it was a year late, otherwise it would have left a handle for political opponents. In addition, Lin Yutang also quoted a lot of literary and historical knowledge to let readers know clearly the circumstances under which Su Dongpo made such a decision.
This book is also very interesting. The author tries his best to restore history and depict the scenes as vividly as possible. Whether it is working for the benefit of the people with great enthusiasm or enjoying the mountains and rivers in a pleasant way, it is fascinating. Lin Yutang's unique understanding of Su Dongpo deepened people's impression of Su Dongpo.
Reading a good book is like drinking a cup of tea. Although I only tasted one bite, I had endless aftertaste. After reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 5
"The Biography of Su Dongpo" mainly talks about: Su Dongpo was smart since he was a child, and he won the Jinshi at the age of 21. The poems he wrote were always optimistic and broad-minded. Even the emperor was so shocked that he forgot to eat after reading them. However, just because Su Dongpo's poems were good, he was framed by others and imprisoned. Fortunately, he was lucky and was released when the emperor held a large event. Afterwards, Su Dongpo was demoted to serve as officials in Mizhou, Xuzhou, Huangzhou, Changzhou and other areas. After experiencing numerous ups and downs, Su Dongpo still treated him optimistically and broadly. To this day, the name Su Dongpo remains in our memory forever.
Once, after Su Dongpo was imprisoned, he told his son: From now on, when delivering meals, it will be okay if there are vegetables and meat. If he delivers fish, he will be beheaded. Once, when his son was in trouble, he asked a friend to deliver food to Su Dongpo. But I forgot to tell my friends not to send fish. In order to make Su Dongpo eat better, his friend gave him a fish. When Su Dongpo saw it, he thought he was going to be beheaded. But he wasn't terribly frightened either. Still an optimistic attitude. I admire him for this. Have a calm mind no matter what happens. I really don't know how he did it. But I am the opposite of him. When something big happens to me, I get angry and anxious. I don’t know what to do. Therefore, I want to learn from Su Dongpo's optimism and broad-mindedness.
If you want to be optimistic and broad-minded, you must make comparisons. Once, during a long vacation, I had a lot of homework. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it. When I came back, I would get angry and angry, and I didn't want to do my homework. As a result, I didn’t finish my homework until the first day of school. However, if I am optimistic and open-minded, I am not afraid of a lot of homework. I do my homework as soon as I get home. I try my best throughout the day and write as much as I can. I can always finish it when school starts. In this way, I feel happy and can finish my homework quickly. How great! So, I want to become an optimistic and broad-minded person.
In fact, I have begun to think what I want now. For example: It is difficult to be the director of the fairy tale drama "Blue Bird". But I still walked on without any complaints. I applaud my progress.
I hope I can become more optimistic and broad-minded in the future. I will never forget the name Su Dongpo in my life. I admire his character, morality, and thoughts. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 6
I read the book "The Biography of Su Dongpo". This book mainly talks about Su Dongpo's childhood to his years of exile. Let me tell you about my favorite chapter! My favorite is "Childhood and Youth", Chapter 3 of Volume 1 of "The Biography of Su Dongpo".
The general content of "Childhood and Youth" is that former students have to memorize the entire book. When memorizing, they must not only memorize the content and knowledge, but also the wording. Su Dongpo, who studied hard, copied the entire book, and there was no punctuation mark in the book. The students were required to add punctuation marks according to the meaning of the text. I feel that if the knowledge you want to learn is useful, just learn it thoroughly. There is no need to memorize the whole book. The education methods of that era were a bit wrong, but I agree with the following points. To learn something, you must learn it thoroughly. , you can’t just half-understand it and just learn it in a muddle.
And I very much agree with the last one: Let students add their own punctuation, so that students can better understand the book, read the book thoroughly, and better apply what they have learned.
I also like the chapter "Wang Anshi's Reform". This chapter talks about Wang Anshi's "Green Crops Law", which is detrimental to the poor but very beneficial to the court. In order to prevent the common people from suffering, Su Dongpo, together with Sima Guang and others, stopped Wang Anshi's reform and even had the emperor ban this method. Su Dongpo benefited the common people. I think Su Dongpo took the overall situation into consideration, not only taking care of himself, but also taking care of the common people. I very much support Su Dongpo's quality of taking the overall situation into consideration. At the same time, I strongly disagree with Wang Anshi's new laws, which disregard the safety of the people in order to benefit the court.
Su Dongpo, a romantic figure from the ages who traveled eastward with endless waves, will always be passed down among people. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 7
I have read Su Dongpo's poems since I was a child. The sadness of "I hope that people will live forever, thousands of miles away from the beautiful women", the momentum of "the great river will go eastward and the waves will end"... all reveal the poet's passion. Bold and unrestrained. But I knew very little about Su Dongpo. It was not until I read "The Biography of Su Dongpo" written by Lin Yutang that I realized that Su Dongpo was a strange person through the ages.
Su Dongpo was both a pious philosopher and a kind elder. He was always full of youthful vitality. Behind Su Dongpo, he was the only one who experienced the bitterness of being promoted several times. He was an official all his life and was honest all his life, fighting wits and tactics with the great politician Wang Anshi.
He loved life and left behind "Dongpo Pork" and "Dongpo Pot" in terms of food to pass on to future generations. Dongpo was rich in emotion and sent his deceased wife a message of green silk. He expressed his pain in the poems "Epitaph to Chaoyun" and "Mourning to Chaoyun". Su Dongpo was upright. Although he was arrested and tried several times for his poems, he still did not change his sharp style of writing. He wrote a poem to satirize "the birds cannot tell the difference between male and female", and later wrote "Still chanting about selling youth" to express his disdain for the glory of officialdom. He had countless close friends and deep brotherhood, and Su Dongpo was happy.
Su Dongpo had a majestic spirit. Various shortcomings appeared in Wang Anshi's reform. Su Dongpo wrote the Emperor Shenzong's Ten Thousand Words Book, including his own political philosophy, and also showed his personal temperament and style, wit, knowledge and Fearless spirit. Su Dongpo failed to oppose the reform and was demoted to Hangzhou. He stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the world and returned to purity and emptiness. He is used to being indifferent, and he understands how to deal with difficulties. Su Dongpo possesses the most majestic and upright aura, which is extraordinary, upright and magnanimous, which makes him calm in any environment and not surprised by favor or disgrace.
Su Dongpo’s life was rough, but it was also an open-minded life. He does not feel pain when facing adversity, nor does he feel desolate when treading on thorns. He always remains optimistic, just like his poems, which last for thousands of years.
Read carefully "The great river east is swept away by waves", "If you want to compare the West Lake to the west, it is always better to wear light makeup and heavy makeup", "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes." It turns out that these are Su Dongpo's optimistic thoughts Attitude and a different philosophy of life. Comments after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 8
The first time I came into contact with Su Dongpo's poetry was when I was in elementary school. At that time, I probably studied "Drinking on the Lake, the First Sunny and the Later Rain". When I came back from school and recited it to my father, my father recited to me the song "Linjiang Immortal" written by Su Xueshi, and explained every sentence in the poem to me. . When I was young, I only remembered that "the boy's breath was thundering, and he didn't answer the knock on the door. He leaned on his stick and listened to the sound of the river." As for junior high school, I read Su Dongpo's poems while reading "Three Hundred Song Ci Poems", and I was not impressed. Deep, but I remember the sentence "There are few willow trees blowing on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world" because the second half of the sentence is particularly famous. It was known at that time that Su Dongpo was a poet of the Bold and Unconstrained School in the Northern Song Dynasty. In high school, when I was reading Chibi Fu and "Niannujiao" or "Moon over the River", I didn't have the literacy to appreciate literature, and I often criticized others' comments.
Now, from Mr. Lin Yutang's "The Biography of Su Dongpo", I understand a more complete Su Shi. His life cannot be called without twists and turns, and his heart cannot be called innocent.
To understand Su Dongpo from "The Biography of Su Dongpo", you can also understand Lin Yutang from Su Dongpo. The two people seemed to have reached a part of their souls after thousands of years.
Su Shi said, "The taste in the world is pure joy." Su Shi's life was undoubtedly interesting in every aspect. He was humorous everywhere. He could laugh at himself even when he was in trouble. His arrogance was difficult to cure and his old habits would not change. You should be comfortable wherever you go and make your political opponents very angry. Therefore, Mr. Lin Yutang said that "whenever Su Dongpo is mentioned, people in China will always arouse a smile of cordial admiration."
I read this book for a purpose. I want to see how Su Dongpo wrote "Looking back to the desolate place, when I return, there is neither wind nor rain"; I want to know how he copes with the setbacks in life; I want to understand how to manage my own emotions and go deep into my heart. Analyzed. I do this just because I have an unsolvable knot in my heart and a sadness that I can't let go. I knew I couldn't escape, so I had to find ways to deal with it. Looking through this book, all I get is the feeling of great admiration and longing for the sages. After reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 9
After reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo", when I saw the "eternal immortality" at the end, I felt sad and reluctant, knowing that he had already passed away. It was strange. It is only now that I really know Su Dongpo, and I try to understand Su Dongpo through books, but the story ends abruptly.
Everyone has great ambitions when they are young, but the world is ruthless and dreams are always "blown away by the rain and wind". Su Shi said, "At that time, when I came to Chang'an, I was like a young man who had just arrived from the mainland. He had thousands of words on his pen and thousands of volumes in his mind." However, "the world is endless and labor and life are limited." In front of the bucket."
With all the ups and downs of officialdom, almost wandering around, what I admire the most is Su Shi and Su Dongpo's tranquility and self-sufficiency. It seems that wherever he goes, he is his hometown, with a rural style, blending in the mountains and rivers.
With a cup of tea, a painting of distant mountains, and a beautiful dream, it is not difficult to feel the joy that Su Shi admired and practiced.
A book tells a life. This life is actually alive again, and as each reader reads, his life stage drama is staged again and again. We also follow his mood ups and downs, and feel a generation. The charisma of a writer.
When the passion was tempered and gradually turned into plainness, his heart calmed down and he began to benefit the people in small ways. Su Shi prayed for the people everywhere and hoarded food to offset the famine. Su Dongpo was happier than anyone else during the long drought and rain. One state and one people was his inseparable responsibility.
I think, how many people in today’s society complain about this and that, it’s better to raise your head and look at the beautiful things around you. People always have to go through many trials, and the most important thing is their own attitude towards life. 10 Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo"
I have been reading Su Dongpo's poems since I was a child. I hope that life will last forever. The sorrow of thousands of miles away from Chanjuan, and the momentum of the waves of the great river eastward all reveal the poet's boldness and unrestrainedness. But I knew very little about Su Dongpo. It was not until I read "The Biography of Su Dongpo" written by Lin Yutang that I realized that Su Dongpo turned out to be a strange person through the ages.

Read Dajiangdong and go shopping in detail, trying to compare the West Lake to the West. Light makeup and heavy makeup always make people happy and joyful, and the moon waxes and wanes. It turns out that these are Su Dongpo’s optimistic attitude and different kind of life. philosophy. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 11
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine..." We are familiar with this song "Shui Diao Ge Tou", and its author is Su Dongpo. This book was written about him. Lin Yutang collected a lot of information and read all his works before writing this book. Lin Yutang also liked Su Dongpo very much, and I was no exception.
When I got this book, I thought it was about some interesting stories about Su Dongpo, but I didn’t expect that it was about Su Dongpo’s life. . When I first started reading this book, I felt it was a bit boring, but my father said, "It might be a bit boring at the beginning, but it won't be like that as you read it. This is real literature!" Maybe that's what literature is like! Su Dongpo's life was very rough. He was demoted twice and moved around. When I read Volume 4, Chapter 24, when Su Dongpo was persecuted for the second time, I felt so angry that I really wanted to travel through time and space to defend Su Dongpo.
One time, I did very poorly on a math test. I wanted to go home and show my mom and dad the paper. What should I do? , I became sad and started crying unconsciously. My classmates came to comfort me one after another and said, "It's okay. You can do better in the exam next time and it will be fine! Come on!" It's really funny when I think about it now. , What does it matter if you fail in the exam! Just work harder and be optimistic, like Su Dongpo.
I have always wondered why Lin Yutang wrote books about ancient Chinese celebrities such as "The Biography of Su Dongpo" and "The Humor of Confucius". My father told me that "Lin Yutang was in the United States at that time. He wanted to write about Chinese history in the United States." Culture, that’s why I wrote it!” So ??that’s it! I think Lin Yutang must be a great man who loves literature and the motherland.
This book gave me a thorough understanding of Su Dongpo and some principles of being a human being. I need to be kind, optimistic, tolerant, and caring about others. Now I even feel that Su Dongpo is a perfect person.
Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 12
When I opened this book for the first time, I really had no clue, and as I continued reading, I temporarily ignored it. But now I think of Su Dongpo again. I am eager to understand him, so I opened the "Biography of Su Dongpo" again.
Su Dongpo suffered a lot in his life, so I call him "a poet who has suffered all his life." But despite the hardships in life, he is always open-minded and optimistic, so his unrivaled sunny mentality is also a result of suffering too much.
On December 19, 1036, this great poet was born. When Su Shi was ten years old, he was already able to write amazing poems. And his father Su Xun went to Beijing to take the exam, but failed in the exam. Su Xun failed in writing poetry, which required considerable artistic emotion. Su Dongpo was better than him in this regard. It is true that "a young person is better than a good person"!
When Su Shi and Su Che were just over 20 years old, they and their father were already imperial officials. However, at this time, Su Dongpo had just entered the officialdom and was not mature enough yet. His wife helped him a lot. Mrs. Su can see the shortcomings of others, but Su Dongpo cannot, so he also listens to his wife's loyal advice to Su Dongpo. Mrs. Su may have understood the truth that "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is as sweet as oranges".
The most endearing thing about Su Dongpo, a great poet, is his optimism. Therefore, the villain Zhang Dun and those who disliked Su Dongpo were very troubled, and they could not help Su Dongpo. When Su Dongpo only had a dilapidated house left, he felt more at ease. The short essay "Night Tour of Chengtian Temple" written by Su Dongpo left a deep impression on me. There is a saying that goes, "The moonlight enters the house." It can be seen that the house is dilapidated, and even the moonlight shines in. But the next sentence was "happy to set off", Su Dongpo was filled with joy, just like an old friend came to sit at home, got up, walked under the moonlight, and went to find his friend Zhang Huaimin. So you see, how unique this poet is!
Su Shi, let me call your name. Although you are short-lived, the memory and memories you left us will not be submerged in the sea of ??time. You will always live in the hearts of the people. This flower. Beautiful flowers will never wither. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 13
It is said that this Biography of Su Dongpo is Lin Yutang's most proud work. However, it does not read like a chronological biography. It has more comments and literary descriptions, as if it were a distant view. Su Dongpo. Maybe it’s because the original work is in English and was originally intended for foreigners to read. But overall, especially in the second half of the book, it will gradually get better and more addictive for readers. You will find that this book is no less than any biography. Because Lin Yutang is also a fan of Suzhou, and the writers are separated by thousands of years, so they should also pray for each other.
Su Dongpo is a rare genius in the world, and his poetry, calligraphy, painting and prose are all exquisite. Wen is one of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, and calligraphy is one of the Four Great Masters of Song Dynasty. They are also the pioneers of literati painting. His bold lyrics have been described by the world as that of a great man from Guanxi, who plays the copper pipa, holds the iron pole, and sings about the great river going eastward.
However, if you read Su Dongpo carefully, you will see that he is more than just a great sage under these huge haloes. His soul is as admirable as his talent, yet extremely unmatched. Reading his "Dongpo Zhilin", you will often be amused and laugh out loud, exclaiming that it is wonderful. He not only knows how to tell jokes, but also knows how to make wine, make ink, cook, do yoga, make alchemy, and do medicine. He knows everything.
When you read Su Dongpo carefully, you will find that he not only has the heroic spirit of "the great river goes eastward, and the waves are washed away, but he is a romantic figure through the ages", he also has the heroic spirit of "the heart is like a gray tree, and the body is like a boat without ties". "There are three parts of spring, two parts of dust, and one part of running water. Looking closely, they are not poplar flowers, but the tears of separation." There is also the sadness of "I can't bear to touch the wine in front of the flowers, and the flowers are pink." Tears, two streams of tears." The misery. He is a mortal without the cloak of a saint.
Ci, poetry, and the people who wrote poetry can be read and reread, and savored again and again. Su Shi said, life is like a journey against the odds, and I am also a traveler. For readers who admire him, why not? Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 14
Good books are interrelated, a bit like the buzzing effect in interpersonal communication.
Read Teacher Yu Qiuyu's "Lend Me a Life". It mentioned that Teacher Yu had read Lin Yutang's "The Biography of Su Dongpo" many times when he was a child. He thought that this book should be very readable, so he immediately I went to Dangdang.com to buy a copy.
It is indeed a good book! Scholar Lin, through every word, brought a cultural celebrity in Chinese history to life. Reading that book, we can all feel the breath of Dongpo's talented scholar. His wild and uninhibited, true temperament, etc., the characters are very full. He is not only a great talent, but also a father-in-law with great political talents. He is also a close friend in flesh and blood. Professor Lin said that he was someone who could "accommodate the Jade Emperor and the common people", and anyone could receive warm and humanistic care from him.
The talented Dongpo scholar had many ups and downs in his life. Whether it was his wife Wang Fu, later Wang Runzhi, and later his concubine Wang Chaoyun, they took care of him silently. Through the ups and downs of officialdom, family changes, and even being demoted to Huangzhou as an official, she has always been by his side to provide support and strength. No wonder there are ever-lasting good words like "Bodhisattva Man". The ordinary and tempered life has cultivated the essence of this kind of emotion. Since ancient times, sentiment has been associated with parting. Perhaps the fall of an autumn leaf can cause infinite melancholy in others.
Thinking of why Dongpo’s talented scholars had good and bad times in the officialdom, I thought of the story of Song Ci being harmed by his father-in-law in the TV series "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty". It may be because they spent time on their profession. I have too much time to study complex interpersonal relationships. In the words of the pessimist Qu Yuan, "The world is muddy but I am the only one who is clear; the world is drunk but I am the only one who is awake." However, we live in a good era of reform and opening up, so we must look at this issue critically.
It is definitely a good book for self-cultivation, a book worth reading N times. Thoughts after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" 15
The title page of the book states that it was purchased in Hainan in 1993, twenty years ago. I read it once at the time, and saw the different handwriting in the circles, and then read it again. Lin's subjective color is obvious, the narrative is elegant, and there are many discussions. He said that the reason was that he wanted to write. In 1936, he brought his family home and brought limited information. Moreover, there was no Internet at that time. It was not easy to write a biography of Su Shi.
I have read Lin's "The True Story of Wu Zetian" one after another before. The author was deeply impressed by the numerous murders of the empress, and his position is biased. In Su Zhuan, although there are also criticisms of Wang Anshi, they seem to be relatively polite.
Lin's book does not adhere to the general biography format, but also has a variety of narrative writing styles. It has a relaxed tone, wit and humor, and is easy to read. As the book says, it is a great tonic for the soul to have the works of a charismatic, creative, righteous, capricious, and original person on your bookshelf.
