On Su Shi's Creative Material —— Su Dongpo who keeps childlike innocence
Throughout the ages, there are not many people who are always naive about life, and Su Shi is one of them.
At the beginning of Su Shi's relegation to Huangzhou, he went out to play with friends and had an important entertainment activity, that is? Hit the river with bullets? . This kind of game, I don't know whether to hit the stone into the river with a slingshot to see who can hit it far, or is it similar to what we played when we were young? Waste water? Take a small tile or stone and throw it obliquely into the water. Tiles or stones jump over the water, causing a series of waves. Either way, as a middle-aged man over 45 years old, it is really innocent and lovely to be able to play this childlike game when he encounters setbacks in his career.
What is even cuter than this is that he can box white clouds with bamboo. One day, on his way back from the city, Su Shi saw the white clouds gushing from the mountains, like galloping horses, rushing straight at his car and scurrying around his elbows and legs, so he packed a bamboo box, filled it with white clouds, took it home, and then released it to watch them change and move. So there is such a sentence in his poem:? Win over the barnyard grass and support the shanzhai. Open the seal and let go, but the switch will still change. ?
These white clouds, like birds and animals, were appreciated by him and returned to the mountains.
Naivety is always associated with naivety, so Su Shi doesn't believe that there are bad people in the world, only people worthy of communication. He once said to his younger brother Su Zhe: I can go up with the Jade Emperor, and I can go down with beggars. There are no bad people in the world before my eyes. ? He bears no grudge against his political opponents who framed him, let alone revenge.
Innocence is a spirit of exploration, curiosity about the unknown world and the source of eternal innocence.
Dongpo likes talking about ghosts with people. Others can't tell ghost stories, so he forces others to tell them. Even if he made it up, it doesn't matter Anyway, he likes listening. "Dongpo Affairs" contains: Po Wengxi talks about it, and those who can't say it are ghosts, or talk about it if they have nothing to say. The audience was completely disappointed. ? Son not language Machamp god. ? It seems that Su Shi is not confined to the limitations of Confucian orthodoxy.
On Su Shi's composition materials and Su Dongpo's reading methods.
Su Dongpo is knowledgeable. What does he have? Break them one by one? Reading methods. He believes that every book you read is enough to understand and digest a problem; Read it again and again, and you can master everything.
The content of a book is very rich, but people's energy is limited, so it is impossible to absorb it all at once, and they can only concentrate on one aspect. For example, if you want to explore the reasons for the rise and fall of dynasties, read it from this angle; To explore historical allusions, read them again from another angle.
Although this method is a bit stupid, it can stand the test in all aspects.
About Su Shi's Composition Materials: Three Questions of Wang Anshi and Three Difficulties of Su Dongpo
Wang Anshi's three major problems, Su Dongpo, are quite legendary in the literary world. The third difficulty is that there are three sentences in pairs. The first cloud: February, spring, August, spring and autumn.
Because it happened in August that year, there were beginning of spring in the first month and December, right? Twice in spring and autumn? . Although Dongpo is a gifted scholar, this couplet is eccentric and can't be found at the moment. But later generations have said on behalf of Su Dongpo: Sixty-year-old flowers will meet again on Sunday, and Jia will meet again in the world. The second sentence of Wang Anshi's test of Dongpo is correct: Qilishan pond, swimming half soup, three and a half miles.
So the road from Jinchangmen to Huqiu in Suzhou is called? Shantang? About seven miles away, with a place name in the middle. Dongpo passed by here not long ago, and Wang Anshi stumped him with this sentence. Dongpo was really stumped. However, under the guise of Bo language, later generations also put this sentence right, to the cloud: nine streams are quite caves, crossing five streams in the middle of the cave. Wang Anshi's third sentence is: west of Tieweng City, there are three treasures of gold and silver mountains.
Runzhou (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province), known as Tieweng City in ancient times, is adjacent to the great river, with Jinshan, Yinshan and Yushan, and there are Buddhist temples and monasteries on the mountain. Su Dongpo had just been there at that time, and Wang Anshi had this problem. Dongpo thought for a long time and couldn't match, so he had to apologize and go. So far, no one has used this third sentence as a couplet. You might as well try.
