Huai Poem

Today, I'd like to introduce Su Shi, a leading figure in China's ancient literary world.

Su Shi (1037 65438+10.8-124.8), whose real name is Zi Zhan, also known as He Zhong, is a Taoist priest of tin cans and a layman of Dongpo, and is known as Su Dongpo and Su Xian in the world. Meishan, Meizhou (now Meishan, Sichuan), Luancheng, Hebei, was a writer, calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the second year of Jiayou (1057), Su Shi was a scholar. Song Shenzong worked in Fengxiang, Hangzhou, Mizhou, Xuzhou and Huzhou. In the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), he was demoted to be the permanent assistant ambassador of Huangzhou because of Wutai poetry case. After Song Zhezong acceded to the throne, he was known in Hangzhou, Yingzhou, Yangzhou, Dingzhou and other places. In his later years, he was exiled to Huizhou and Danzhou because of the ruling of the New Party. Song Huizong was granted amnesty and returned to the north, where he died. Song Gaozong posthumously awarded a surname, posthumous title "article".

Su Shi was a literary leader in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, and made great achievements in poetry, ci, writing, calligraphy and painting. His poems and Huang Tingjian are called "Su Huang"; His ci and Xin Qiji are also called "Su Xin"; His prose is also called "Ou Su" with Ouyang Xiu, and is one of the "Eight Great Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties". There are seven episodes of Dongpo, Yi Zhuan of Dongpo and Yuefu of Dongpo.

Due to the change of officialdom, Su Shi frequently traveled to and from Beijing and other places. He not only served as an official in many places in Jiangsu, but also left many footprints and poems on the land of Jiangsu. For example, his "Huai Shang Late Hair": "The pale moon pours clouds and sorrows, and the small wind blows the water and scales open. I have been pointed out in the rivers and lakes in my life, and I have silently counted ten exchanges in Huaizhong. " The poet silently counted wandering on the Huaihe River and made ten exchanges.

The diary of 10 16 recommended today shows Su Shi's experience and feelings in Da Huai 'an.

In the fourth year of Song Xining (107 1), Su Shi became the general of Hangzhou. On October 16th of the lunar calendar, I took a boat from Huaiyin (now Huaiyin District of Huai 'an City) to Yang Shan (now Huai 'an District of Huai 'an City, where Chuzhou Prefecture is located). In one day, the weather is changeable, from "windy in the morning, the moon is dark" to "foggy like drizzle", to "windy in the north" and "sudden hail at noon", and suddenly "electricity is like a broken wall", and when sitting down to drink, it is Leng Xue again, which makes the poet feel like having a nightmare.

Some experts have analyzed that the late autumn in Huai 'an is a cold front weather with cold air heading south.

In addition, Su Shi has many poems about Great Huai 'an.

According to the author's own comments in this poem, "I met Juyuan, Liu Gongfu and Liu Xinlao in Yang Shan. I am rich, but people close to Juyuan met at Jingkou", which roughly means: I met Sun Juyuan, Liu Gongfu and Liu Xinlao in Yang Shan before. Since we meet again after such a long separation, we can only meet Sun Juyuan in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang).

The same poem, annotated by the poet himself, "Taste the Jianghuai adjacent to Yu Job, and will go to Dengzhou to send a farewell poem".

In addition to these poems that clearly show that Su Shi has been to Huai 'an, the poet also has some poems, and some family members are related to Chuzhou.

The seemingly simple two poems actually hide the story of Su Hecheng. According to relevant articles, in the fourth year of your life (1052), Su Xun's youngest daughter Su Ba Niang, Su Shi and Su Zhe's third sister, according to legend, were abused to death by uncles, Shi and Fu Cheng. Sue and Cheng forged a feud.

Meeting Cousin Cheng Liuzhi in Chuzhou was written in March of the first year of Yuanyou (1086). At that time, Su Shi's cousin Cheng Liuyiyuan was appointed as well-known in Chuzhou, and Su Shi once wrote poems to congratulate him. This poem first reviews the friendship between the two families and the glorious history in Meishan area, then reviews the interesting things in childhood, and finally expresses the mourning for the matriarchal elders, and sends a sincere wish to my cousin to repair the relationship between the two families.

A poem broke the ice in the history of the relationship between Su and Cheng. At this time, it has been 34 years since Ba Niang died and the relationship between the two families broke down. Since then, Su Shi's brothers have been in close contact with Yuan and Zhi Shao.

Then came the poem "My Cousin Cheng Deru's Birthday". According to Su Shi's annotation in the poem, "If you are in Chuzhou, you will live in Hangzhou with ten thousand people." At that time, Cheng Zhiyuan was an official in Chuzhou and Su Shi was an official in Hangzhou, and there was a serious famine in both places. In this context, the two officials in the same dynasty naturally appreciate each other, which is why there is a poem "Old people in four dynasties are dying, and cranes will welcome them several times in the coming year".
