Su Dongpo's Shuidiao Tou, with its unique style and vigorous style, became a famous piece in the history of literature and was highly praised by all previous dynasties. Hu Zaidao, a literary critic in the Song Dynasty, said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival Ci comes from Dongpo's Mink Song Tou, and the rest are abandoned." The evaluation is very high. He wrote this word when he was an official in Michigan. There has always been controversy about the theme of words. It seems to be an indisputable fact that Su Dongpo's philosophical attitude towards life and thoughts of missing Yu Zi are expressed in his ci. The focus of the debate is whether Su Dongpo's desire to return to Korea is expressed in his poems. Some people think that words do not express the desire to return to the DPRK, but express feelings beyond things, while others hold the opposite view. The basis of these two views is not sufficient. After reading a lot of materials, the author found that the two thoughts of detachment from things and returning to the DPRK to display their ambitions seem irreconcilable, but they are just reconciled in Su Dongpo and expressed in his poems, which is a contradictory psychological state.
Su Dongpo has great political ambitions. When Zhao Zhen was in Song Renzong, he wrote to the emperor, demanding some political reforms at that time. At that time, after Wang Anshi introduced the new law, he stood on the conservative side and wrote a letter against Wang's political reform. After the implementation of Wang Anshi's political reform, both the DPRK and Wang Anshi left the court to find another job, and Su Dongpo was almost the last one to leave the court. He lingered in North Korea for a long time, hoping that the emperor would change his mind and stop playing Wang Anshi's tricks. Whether he is a conservative or a reformist, we know that he has persistent political beliefs. He always wanted to display his talents and help the emperor run the country and keep the country safe, which was his ideological basis for returning to the DPRK.
170 1 year, due to Wang Anshi's different political views, the court couldn't stay any longer, so he tactfully pleaded for diversion. Although he was transferred to Hangzhou, he did not forget Chao Jun. In July of the fourth year of Xining (107 1), he left Beijing with his family and took office in Hangzhou, which is rich in lakes and mountains. On the way, he lived with his brother for a long time. On the eve of Su Dongpo's voyage, he spent another night on the boat in Yingzhou. That night, they recited political poems and stayed up all night. The conclusion of their political discussion was later written by him in a poem for Ziyou. Among them, there are two sentences: "It is difficult to do things in times of need, and it is unsuccessful to be greedy for your kindness." This is the best evidence that he misses Chaojun.
Su Dongpo still missed Chao Jun when he was in Mizhou, which we can find from another poem of his. When he was in Michigan, he wrote a word "Jiangchengzi?" 6? 1 Michigan hunting. This word is called hunting, but the real intention is not to write hunting, but to express the ambition of defending the country by hunting. The next line of the word reads like this: "What if the wine is drunk, the chest and gallbladder are still open, and the temples are slightly frosty?" Holding the sacrificial cloud, you can bow and carve a full moon, look northwest and shoot Sirius! " He used Feng Tang's allusions to implicitly express his strong desire to be reused by the imperial court as soon as possible. He really wants to go back to North Korea and make good use of it.
"I want to go home by the wind, but I'm afraid of the beautiful building" and "I can't stand the cold" in "Water Tune". "Going home" means that the political situation in North Korea is sinister and the officialdom is complicated. I can't tolerate him. Su Dongpo implicitly expressed his ambivalence that he wanted to go back to the palace but was helpless because he longed for the moon palace.
His words expressed his desire to return to Korea, his meditation on the ups and downs of his career, his boredom with his career to some extent, and his desire to be detached from things. We can find sufficient evidence from his life and some poems.
Begging to divert attention from the imperial court is not in itself worth celebrating. He had to leave the imperial court, and there was a certain degree of loss in his heart. It is also true that he was deeply influenced by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's thoughts. Whenever frustrated and bored, they often belittle themselves with Buddhist thoughts, resulting in a detached thought and a negative attitude towards life, which is a mentality of frustrated literati in ancient China.
Su Dongpo has a strong thought of Zhuangzi. During his stay in Michigan, he was most depressed. During this period, his anger and cruel temper seem to be no longer sharp-edged, but only know that the state of mind of life is serene, peaceful and timely, and even he enjoys the beauty of nature and the joy of life more freely than before. Obviously, it is very different from his wealth in Hangzhou. He likes Tao Yuanming more and more. When he was in Michigan, he wrote a poem called Si Qi. The style of this poem is very similar to that of Tao poetry, which can be considered as Tao poetry. In this poem, we can see his real satisfaction, his seamless integration with nature and his quiet joy in the sound and color of nature itself. The original poem is as follows:
The west is deep and bright, with a six-foot bed in the middle.
Patients get enough sleep, and the dangerous sitting posture is getting longer and longer.
Dizziness is not drunk or crazy.
Under the cold clothes and bamboo wind, Mu Ran is a little cool.
From the West Garden, the vegetation is fragrant.
A willow blossom and a mulberry leaf bloom.
Singing the beauty of pigeons forgets to fly because of standing.
The yellow bird is also complacent, and the new sound becomes round.
Zhang Li's view of materialization is also my view of life.
Everything has its own time. Today is my birthday.
When he was in Michigan, he wrote another poem "Yin Shi Pavilion", in which there was a sentence: "My husband is very busy every day, which is really strange. Yesterday, the breeze slept in the north, and the western hills were cool in the morning. " Such a poem can only be written if the poet achieves a deep integration with nature in Xiqiao. At this time, his "Wangjiang Tower" wrote: "The wind and rain have changed several times, and I have paid this body to vanity. It's good to have a willow in the shade unintentionally, and the white clouds are still like looking at the clouds. "As far as his poems are concerned, he really forgot the numerous and complicated struggles of officialdom, but immersed himself in the freedom of nature and got spiritual relief, just like white clouds floating in the mountains.
Therefore, it is no accident that Su Dongpo's career in Mizhou was frustrated and he belittled himself with Buddhist thought. This point is implicitly expressed by Su Dongpo's fantasy yearning for the Moon Palace in "Water Tune Song Tou". Su Dongpo has great political ambitions and is grateful to the emperor for his kindness, so he hopes to return to North Korea, but now the sinister political situation has frustrated his wish. It is not only lamenting the ups and downs of official career, but also thinking about the monarch. The two feelings of joining the WTO and being born are intertwined with Su Dongpo, but they complement each other, showing Su Dongpo's contradictory psychological world at that time. This is the theme of Shuidiao.
