"People admire Dongpo's generosity, and I admire Dongpo's little show. Shaoxiu is a good place for Dongpo, and it is straightforward to be sick. Dongpo doesn't work hard at everything. Ancient prose, books and paintings are all the same, and the words are the same. "
Su Shi's works are fresh and beautiful, but also bold and broad-minded. He thinks that Su Shi's boldness, which is usually valued by people, is actually a major drawback of his poems, but it is by no means his advantage. He is too tall and too casual, so some works sometimes lose their roughness.
I don't agree with his view that Dongpo's rudeness is a shortcoming, but I think it's too considerate to say that Dongpo doesn't work hard at everything, which really hits the nail on the head.
This Su Dongpo, not only refused to make great efforts in China's ancient poetry and calligraphy, but also acted like this! Do what you should do, stop when you should, and never force you to die.
And perhaps what we like is his "not very hard" attitude, that kind of leisure, nothing is really free and easy.
Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty, recorded such a story in Zhai Cheng's Poems:
Ouyang Gong was stunned by Dongpo's article. He wanted to be the first person, but he suspected that it was a solid article by his master Ceng Zi. He was afraid that he would stir up trouble and be suppressed as the second person. In the Theory of Loyalty and Punishment written by Polaixie and Ouyang Wenpo, "Hao Tao said to kill the third son, and Yao said to kill the third son". What books are you reading here? Po said, "This matter lies in the biography of the Three Kingdoms and Kong Rong." Europe retired to watch, nothing. One day later, someone asked Poe, and he said, "Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao and gave his son Pi to Yuan's wife. Kong Rong said:' In the past, the King of Wu attacked Zhou and gave da ji to the Duke of Zhou.' Cao Cao was frightened and asked him what he saw. He said,' Look at today's event, it means so. Yao and No.1 Middle School mean the same thing. Ou took a step back and said in surprise, "This man is good at reading and using books. If he writes in the future, he will be unique in the world. "
When Ouyang Xiu took the examiner's exam, he saw the article of candidate Su Shi and thought that he loved his spleen and stomach too much. He wanted to win the first prize, but he suspected that it was written by his disciple Ceng Gong. In order to avoid suspicion, he took the paper second.
But he didn't understand where the allusion of "Yao Yu" came from. So Su Shi came to thank the teacher and asked him about He Dian. Su Shi replied that it was from the biography of the reflection of Kong Rong. Serious Ouyang Xiu "retired and read it", found the book to read and read, but still didn't find it. I can't help asking Su Shi when I have the chance. Su Shi takes Kong Rong as an example. Kong Rong used to "mean this" and he himself "meant this". If Yao He encounters the problem of reward and punishment, the result will definitely be "Hao Tao said to kill the third, and Yao said to kill the third".
Ouyang Xiu was surprised by this answer, but he was not angry because he was cheated. Instead, he praised Su Shi for "being good at reading books" and believed that his articles would be popular in chinese odyssey.
Some people say that his book "Theory of Criminal Loyalty" still has the sound of gongs. Indeed, a total of more than 600 words, but written forcefully, majestic, flowing. And this may be related to his creative use cases. In order to explain his point of view properly, he didn't stick to ready-made examples. But invented such a logical story.
Seemingly unruly, in fact, I just don't delve into it. It's just hard work
For people like him, rules are not to be followed, but to be broken. Why bother yourself so hard?
Su Dongpo's so-called words of "expressing one's mind directly" are criticized by people. In fact, this is the reason. He refused to exert himself or pay attention to the harmony of the melody. So that later generations mistakenly thought that Su Shi might be a layman in music. But in fact, he has always been very insightful about music.
Born into a guqin family, music is part of his family education. After he became an official, in his spare time, like other literati at that time, he kept kabuki at home and filled it with music scores. It's strange that such people don't know music.
The following poem can also well prove his musical talent:
"There are many performances of the Divine Comedy upstairs, and I want to break my string and urge it again and again. Jiang Fei listened to the fog and rain, and the white waves tossed and turned. Call my family Shuangfengcao and stay as an orphan of the Three Gorges. Ensemble "Spring Tune" with Jun, pecking at trees and flying frost trees. "
This song "Watching Luo Erzou Zheng" describes his experience of playing "Fangchun Tune" with an official poet named. He plays the zither and Hu Qin plays the pipa. The music played is sad and touching, which makes the goddess in the water fly out of the dancing river and worry about things with herself.
And Lu you also has a record about Su Shi:
It is said that Dongpo can't sing, so his Yuefu is not harmonious. Chao Tao said, "At the beginning of Shao Sheng, Dongpo was different from the frontier merchants. Dongpo was drunk and sang the sunshine song. Then the public can't sing, but he is bold and unrestrained and doesn't like to cut his temperament.
People say that Su Shi can't sing, so most of his words are out of tune. No! In fact, he has a very high musical quality. Zhao Yitao once said a word. In the early years of Shao Sheng, he and Su Dongpo broke up at the frontier fortress. After drinking too much, he sang his own "Yangguanqu". Obviously, it's not that he doesn't know music, but he doesn't want to cut the lyrics to make music.
Therefore, Chao Wuxia, a disciple of Su Men, defended him and said: Su Dongpo's poems are called disharmony. However, the vulgar words are outstanding, and naturally they can't draw in the song.
How is the surging poem bound by melody? He won't work hard on it.
Not everyone has such a free and easy style. But there is one person who can be said to be his confidant, and that is Lin Daiyu written by Cao Gong.
In the chapter where Daiyu taught Xiangling to write poems, Daiyu and Xiangling had such a dialogue.
..... Daiyu said, "Anything difficult is worth learning!" Just a connection, in which there are two pairs of connections, flat to flat, empty to real, and real to empty. If there is a strange sentence, it is not even true or false. Xiangling said with a smile, "I often take time to read one or two old poems. There are right and wrong poems, and I only hear' 135 doesn't matter, 246 is clear'. Looking at the poems of the ancients, some are very fluent, and some are 246 wrong, and I wonder every day. "Now that you mention it, these styles and rules are the last things, as long as the words and expressions are novel." Dai-yu said, "That's why it's important to decide what to say. If the meaning is true, even the words don't need to be revised, which is good. This is called' don't hurt your meaning with words'. " ……
In this passage, Sister Lin even thinks that all words and expressions are "the last thing" in front of poetry. What we have to do is actually "conception", rather than simply pursuing level, melody and writing.
If we ignore the expression of ideas and blindly pursue those "last things", we will put the cart before the horse and leave a legacy in primary schools.
In fact, our mother-in-law can write all his excellent works in the style of "less show", but he doesn't do that. That persistent pursuit, which took ten efforts, even broke a few beards, completely violated his carefree and free-spirited nature. In his bones, whether he is proud or not, he must be happy. Therefore, it is natural that some of his works are "straightforward". Because he doesn't care whether it's rough or not, he just needs to keep his true colors of "Hao".
In fact, except for Miss Lin, he really has a bosom friend in later generations and in real life. Wu Ke said in the poem "diving into the sea":
Dongpo's poems are not without essence or coarseness, and should be eliminated. Yulie Wang Yun: "No, it's better to see beauty than injustice."
This Ye Ji is really his confidant. He thinks this "uneven strength" is Su Shi's style. Clear water produces hibiscus, carving nature! Don't push too hard, be sure to be neat; Too hard, too neat, too melodramatic, too artificial.
In his own words, poetry does not need works, and this word is no stranger. Naivete is my teacher.
Once you deliberately seek novelty and merit, poetry will fall. In fact, the same is true of being a man.
The beauty of Su Dongpo's life is these four words-"innocence".
It is precisely because of his childish temperament that he has spent one disaster after another in his life.
He looks like an urchin. When someone throws a rope to hang himself, or thinks he will hang himself, he thinks the rope is funny. I used it to make a swing on the beam, swinging happily. Not only will he not commit suicide, but he will also be extremely proud of the new gameplay he has discovered.
Therefore, what kind of fighting is the most tragic. It's a stone that fights with people. You have made great efforts to treat others as enemies. You have tried your best and lost again. You have never treated you as an opponent. Such contempt may be unintentional to him, but it is very likely that the other party will gnash his teeth and vomit blood.
It can even be said that when those hooligans made up their minds to punish him with their dead strength, it was because everything was "not very hard" that he was not focused at all. Instead, it will become Duan Yu, knowing the magic of Northern Ghost. If you use too much strength, you will suffer a lot from him, because every strength you have will only strengthen his strength.
For others, being demoted is the suffering and the most desperate thing in life, but he has made a special life because of his innocence.
This is also very good! He wants to be an idle person.
You can hold hands with your friends and watch The Court is as empty as water, and the water is full of algae.
You can taste all the delicious food. "300 lychees a day, do not hesitate to be a Lingnan person."
You can wake up naturally even if you take a nap. "Jiang Feng's first sleep was beautiful. The crow told me to go upstairs."
You can also learn from Tao Yuanming, "The trees are dark and the grass is deep, and people are quiet. The blinds are lying on the pillows looking at the mountains. "
Because he was so carefree, he even forgot his shape.
"I am Yutang Xian, and I have come to Hainan Village."
"All these years have been enough, and the only thing I owe is death."
Under such circumstances, he feels that his life is complete and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with! The only difference is death.
I don't know what those who are waiting to see him down and out will think when his poems arrive in Kyoto. I just can't be demoted any more. If Su Dongpo is demoted again, he will really travel abroad.
For such a naive child, you deprive him of advanced toys, which is nothing. When he picks up a waste branch by the roadside, he will beat it into a golden hoop and dance like a tiger.
We are more and more unhappy today. Compared with Su Shi, what we lack is this carefree state of mind. If you push the world too hard, you will be too persistent and some desires will be more difficult to let go.
It is better to let nature take its course and let it be unfair. Perhaps, looking back, there is no rain or shine in that desolate place.
At the end of the article, a piece of Su Shi's Xiang Xing Zi is attached! Perhaps in his poems, we will understand that don't work too hard, innocence is the real wisdom of life!
There is no dust on a clear night, and the moonlight is like silver.
Be sure to pour the wine for ten minutes.
This is both fame and fortune, but it is a waste of people and money.
A pony in a sigh, a fire in a stone, and a dream.
Although you hold an article, who will kiss you?
And Tao Tao, happy innocence.
When will you go home? Be an idle person.
Yes, a piano, a pot of wine and a cloud.
