In the third year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong, namely 1080 in February, Li Ding and others asked the court to demote Su Shi to Huangzhou, which had a purpose. That is, Chen Nian lives in seclusion in Qiting, Macheng, north of Huangzhou. This Yao Chen is very powerful, and Li Ding and others want to borrow his hand to make trouble for Su Shi.

Ji Chang is the son of Chen Gongbi. As early as when Su Shi recruited Fengxiang, Chen Gongbi served as the magistrate of Fengxiang and was Su Shi's immediate superior. Originally, the relationship between them was not good, but later, due to the writing of Xu Ling Taiji, the relationship improved. Li Ding, they don't know the details. It was only during the trial that they learned that Chen Gongbi had fined Su Shi 20 Jin of copper, and Su Shi had also written to the emperor to expose Chen Gongbi.

Later, Chen Gongbi was dismissed on suspicion of corruption and died of depression. Therefore, Li Ding and others think that they must be enemies.

In fact, Yao Chen and Su Shi have a good relationship. Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, and when he passed the Macheng Pavilion, Chen Nian stood at the intersection and greeted him respectfully, inviting him into the house to buy wine for dinner.

During his stay in Huangzhou, Su Shi visited Chen Nian in the pavilion three times, and Chen Nian also visited Su Shi in Huangzhou seven times. They used to be very close. He is Su Shi's friend who can joke at any time.

The imperial edict of Emperor Zongshen to Su Shi was "to be the training assistant of Huangzhou Youth League, and to be placed in this state, and not to sign books or official duties". "Yong ying assistant" is the official name, "official business without signature" is the right to send and receive official documents without signature, and "resettlement in this state" is to limit his scope of activities.

However, Xu Junyou, the magistrate of Huangzhou, was very kind to Su Shi and had no restrictions on his actions. He can wander around at will.

One night, Su Shi played outside and drank too much wine. When he got home, it was already late at night and the janitor had fallen asleep. He knocked at the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. He simply stopped knocking and ran to the river to listen to the waves on the river. Jiang Tao caused him to reflect on his own existence, regretting that he could not live independently, but fell into a dusty life. Facing the great rivers, he suddenly lost himself in the reverie of the rivers and seas, so he wrote "Lingang Fairy Night Return to Lingao", the original text is as follows:

I drank Dongpo in the evening and woke up drunk. It seemed like midnight when I came back. The children's breathing has been thundering, so they shouldn't knock at the door, relying on the sound of the river.

I have hated this body for a long time. When will I forget the camp? The night was calm and the lines were flat. Since then, this ship has passed away, and Jiang Hai spent the rest of his life.

This word was written by Su Shi when he was living in Huanggang, which reflected his repressed anger. Expressed his desire for free life and spiritual liberation.

The word is narrative, deliberately exaggerating its drunkenness. Write Dongpo drinking at night, getting drunk, waking up to drink, and getting home seems to be midnight. Children snore like thunder. They shouldn't call the door repeatedly, so they have to stand by the river with crutches and listen to the sound of the river flowing.

Next, I will write about my ideological activities when I am awake: I hate official career, and this body is no longer my own. When can I forget the pursuit of fame? It's quiet at night and the waves are quiet. I really want to take a boat and disappear from here, but I will die in foggy rivers and lakes for the rest of my life.

The whole poem is full of scenery, narration, lyricism and discussion, which is true. The language is fluent and the style is superb, which can reflect the characteristics of Su Ci.
