Su Shi was saved by his own desperate poem, what is this poem?

At that time, he was falsely imprisoned, and during this period, his son had always delivered food to him, and at that time, the father and son made an agreement that if anything happened, they would send fish and meat to Su Shi. One day, due to the negligence of his relatives, he brought fish and meat to Su Shi, making him mistakenly think that his limit was approaching. Su Shi wrote a desperate poem to his younger brother:

Sent in prison by".

The frost night of Baitai is bleak, and the wind moves the moon to the low.

The dream is like a deer in the heart of the clouds and mountains, and the soul is like a chicken.

The rhino horn in his eyes is really his son, and the cow clothes behind him are ashamed of his old wife.

Where is the hundred-year-old fugue determined, Tongxiang is buried in western Zhejiang.

However, the emperor was moved to see this poem, and with the efforts of his younger brother and his self-help, he was finally successfully released.

"Sending a Child in Prison" is actually a poem written by Su Shi to his younger brother in despair when he learned that he was executed, but others thought it was written to the emperor when they read it, and the emperor felt that he was flattered and felt Su Shi's deep love for his relatives, plus Wang Anshi also interceded for him, the emperor let Su Shi go, and since then he has truly embarked on a life of not liking things and not being sad about himself!

"Self-titled Portrait of Jinshan" is a poem written by Su Shi before his death.

An excerpt from the original poem is as follows:

Self-titled portrait of Jinshan.

Song Dynasty: Su Shi.

The heart is like a gray wood, and the body is like an untied boat.

Ask Ru Ping's life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou.

Translations and annotations.

The soul of the translator is already silent and desireless, and will no longer be moved by external objects. This life is adrift, like a boat that cannot be tethered.

Someone asked me where my life's achievements were, and that was Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou.

Note (1) Portrait of Jinshan: Refers to the portrait of Su Shi of Jinshan Temple, made by Li Gonglin. "Jinshan Zhi": "Li Longmian (Gonglin) painted the east slope like staying in Jinshan Temple, and then passed the Jinshan Temple on the east slope, self-titled. ”

2) The heart seems to be ashes: that is, the heart is like ashes. "Zhuangzi: The Theory of Things": The form can be made like a tree, and the heart can be made like a dead ash.

3) Huangzhou, Huizhou Danzhou: The author opposed Wang Anshi's new law, and belittled Huangzhou for the crime of "bypassing the court" in his poems, and later degraded Huizhou and Danzhou. In these three places, the author lived a long life of debasement.

Appreciation of the whole poem: Su Shi's poems are fresh and heroic, and they are unique in terms of artistic expression. This poem is even more amazing, at the beginning of the statement that his heart is like ashes, at first glance it seems to be very incompatible with the poet's always open and bold character, but after understanding the poet's experience and mood, he can't help but express deep sympathy for the author's sadness of death: Su Shi "has great talent and real strength, so he is wet, he can't go to anything, he can't go anywhere" (Zhuang Weixin's "Song Poetry Research").

When this poem was written, it was two months before Su Shi's death, and the author was over the age of sixteen and could have reached the end of his life. Looking back on his life, there have been several ups and downs, frustration and ups and downs, even if there is a vast air of loyalty and righteousness, he has to turn into a long sigh of unpaid ambition. The author can only sing generously and sadly, sighing to himself.

The next "body is like an untied boat" refers to the wandering of his later life, expressing the sad feelings of detention and wandering. If it is limited to "within it." 's expression of the bitterness of life, Su Shi will not become a "Dongpo old" who makes people smile.

He will not, and does not disdain, to sink in sorrow. Let's look at the last two sentences "Ask Ru Ping's life achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou:" A reversal of sadness, with a long-accustomed road to replace the sorrow of life frustration, self-liberation is amazing.

Su Shi believes that his life's work is not when he was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites or a member of the Ancestral Department, let alone in Valzhou, Xuzhou, and Mizhou (the author has served as a prefect in these three places). It is precisely in the three states that have been degraded. It's really "full of ridiculous words", but this "Dongpo look" is the most able to "forget the machine".

No matter if he is frustrated or bumpy, he does not lose his bold nature at all, which is really incorrigible romance. The last two sentences are witty and self-ridiculous, but they also profoundly convey the author's subtle mood at the moment.

The whole poem contains harmony and a song in the straight. It shows the unique style of Dongpo's people and poetry. Reading it is deplorable and highly susceptible to infection.

This poem is a self-titled portrait of Jinshan.
