Historical allusions

"Niannujiao · Chibi nostalgia" says that life is like a dream, and a statue (through the "bottle") also sprinkles the moon on the river. ——Su Shi (1036-1101), a Song Dynasty poet named Zizhan, was born in Meishan, Meizhou, Sichuan Province. His father Su Xun and his brother Su Zhe are both one of the eight great prose writers in Tang and Song dynasties. Song Renzong Jiayou two years (1057), Su Shi in Jinshi. Su Shi lived in a period of fierce struggle between the new law and the old party in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the reign of emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, he was demoted to Hangzhou, Mizhou, Xuzhou, Huzhou and other places for opposing Wang Anshi's political reform. Later, the admonitor impeached him for slandering the imperial court in his poems. He was arrested and released from prison and transferred to Huangzhou regiment training Deputy envoy. During the reign of song zhezong and Yuanyou, the old party was in power, and Su Shi was once transferred to the position of Hanlin bachelor. He was relegated to Hangzhou again because of some political differences with the old Party headed by Sima Guang. Later, when the new party came to power again, Su Shi was even harder hit. He was transferred to Huizhou (Huiyang County, Guizhou Province) and Qiongzhou (today's Hainan Island). Song Huizong ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the whole world. He died in Changzhou (today's Wujin County, Jiangsu Province) on the way to the north. In politics, Su Shi was conservative and opposed to the new law, but his attitude changed in the later period, and there was a certain degree of contradiction with the old party, which caused him to be excluded and depressed all his life. However, he sympathized with the people's hunger and did a lot of good things for the people when he was in office, which was also reflected in his poems. Niannujiao is the work of Su Shi after he demoted to Huangzhou. Su Shi, a 21-year-old Jinshi, spent most of his time in a study before he was 30 years old. His official career was bumpy. With the political turmoil of the Northern Song Dynasty, he went up and down several times. When he was 43 years old (in the second year of Yuanfeng), he was arrested for writing poems to satirize the new law. After he was released from prison, he was demoted as deputy envoy of Huangzhou tuanlian. This is a casual job. He cultivated in the Old City camp, traveled and visited the ancient times. He was frustrated politically and developed his thoughts and emotions of escaping from reality and missing talent. However, because of his open-minded mind, inspired by the majestic rivers and mountains of the motherland and historical figures, he wrote a series of well-known essays by taking advantage of the scenery to express his feelings. "Life is like a dream, a bottle of wine is still sprinkled on the moon" - this is Su Shi's infinite emotion about life, with the taste of great insight and transcendence. Su Shi said in the former Chibi Fu: "I mourn the moment of my life and admire the endless of the Yangtze River." "where are the ancient and modern generals? If we don't see the first emperor of Qin Dynasty in those days, "a pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other, and many things in ancient and modern times are in the middle of a joke." what is the great difficulty in the face of a short and precious life? Why bother? This is the open-minded realm of life. When Su Shi was young, he was also full of spirit, struggling and enterprising, and had the ambition of "clearing the world". However, the "Wutai poetry case" made him stand on the edge of death. Maybe when ghosts and gods knocked on his door, Su Shi could really understand and comprehend the value and significance of life.
