Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 162 The evaluation of future generations

The audience listened patiently to Yi Ze telling a short story about Su Shi.

There are many of these stories, and they have heard them before.

For example, Su Xiaomei, a character who had died at a young age, appeared quite frequently in the story.

Another example is Foyin, a monk of wine and meat, who can often overwhelm Su Shi.

Yi Ze told these stories not to prove their authenticity.

Rather, it is through these stories that have been passed down, either true or made-up, to bring the audience closer to Su Shi.

Su Shi is not a lofty myth.

There was nothing unusual about his appearance.

Perhaps because of Su Shi's literary talent, many people will subconsciously ignore his own brilliance of humanity.

Just like the first emperor, with the continuous development of the times, there are more and more titles on his head.

From the emperor of the ages to the ancestor dragon, from the tyrant to the only one, there are more and more hats on his head.

The more hats you wear, the farther away you will be from ordinary people.

Tracing back to the origin, the First Emperor Yingzheng was only an emperor who created a unified multi-ethnic centralized dynasty.

People of later generations will praise his achievements, remember his deeds in the same direction, and know his feat of unifying the world and ending division;

But don’t forget the flaws of the First Emperor himself.

Waste of people's money, waste of people's strength, these are not false things, but real defects that can be seen.

The death of Qin II was certainly due to the incompetence of the latecomers and the favor of treacherous evil, but it also had a certain impact on shaking the country's foundation during the reign of the first emperor.

Another example is Confucius. In order to stabilize their own rule, the rulers of all dynasties added countless titles to him, and even the descendants of Confucius have been living on their laurels for thousands of years. They are the most terrible gnawing people.

But back to the time of Confucius, he was just a nine-foot-tall Shandong man who was good at convincing others with virtue.

If that doesn't work, retaliate directly.

Therefore, when looking at historical figures, it is necessary to take off their aura.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that you can only learn the marketing account, brag about the ten philosophers of the Internet Temple, or be brainwashed by Qing palace dramas, and your mind is full of dating the prince of the Tungus tribe.

Stupid!

Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou because of the Wutai Poetry Case. During his time in Huangzhou, he kept thinking and discussing life, and finally formed his own thoughts.

Optimistic and open-minded!

Four words, it seems very simple, in fact, it is really not easy to do it.

Just like Wang Yangming's enlightenment in Longchang, Su Shi also successfully washed away his full body in Huangzhou, and finally moved towards a new realm of life.

This kind of realm is hard to describe, if there is no similar experience, no such understanding of life, other people's talk is just talk on paper.

"Chibi Fu" is precisely a reflection of Su Shi's own thoughts.

In the autumn of Renxu, at the end of the seventh month, Su Zi and his guests went boating under the Red Cliff.The breeze is coming slowly, and the water waves are calm.The wine belongs to the guest, the poem of the bright moon is recited, and the chapter of the song is graceful.Shaoyan, the moon rises above Dongshan Mountain, wandering among the bullfights.Bailu Hengjiang, water and light meet the sky.As long as a reed is like, Ling Wanqing is at a loss.Haohao is like Feng Xu's controlling the wind, but he doesn't know where it stops; fluttering is like being independent from the world, becoming immortal and ascending to immortality.

So drinking is very enjoyable, buckle up and sing.The song said: "Osmanthus fiddle with orchid oars, hit the sky and light up and trace the streamer. Miao is in my arms, looking at beautiful women in the sky." There are some guests who play the hole flute, and they rely on the song to make peace with them.Its voice is humming, like complaining or admiration, like weeping or complaining; the lingering sound is endless, like a thread.The latent flood dragon dancing in the secluded gully, the widow weeping in a lonely boat.

Su Zi was stunned, sitting upright, and asked the guest: "Why is this so?" , The mountains and rivers look like each other, gloomy and green. Isn’t this Meng De’s trap in Zhou Lang? Fang Qi broke through Jingzhou, went down to Jiangling, and went downstream to the east, traveling thousands of miles, covering the sky with banners and flags, drinking wine near the river, and crossing the river. Composing poems, the hero of the whole life, is he safe now? Kuang Wu and Zi Yuqiao are on the river, they are friends with fish and shrimp, and they are friends with elk. In heaven and earth, like a drop in the vast ocean. I mourn the moment of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. Travel with the flying immortals, embrace the bright moon and die forever. Knowing what is impossible is suddenly obtained, and the legacy is resounding in the sad wind."

Su Zi said: "The guest also knows the water and the moon? The dead are like this, but they haven't tasted the past; For a moment, if you look at it from the unchanging, things and I are endless, and how enviable! Moreover, between the heaven and the earth, everything has its own owner, and if it is not my property, I will not take even a little. The breeze, and the bright moon in the mountains, the ear hears it and becomes the sound, the eye meets it and becomes the color, it is inexhaustible to take from it, and it is inexhaustible to use. It is the endless treasure of the Creator, and it is suitable for me and my son.”

The guest is happy and smiles, and it is more discretionary to wash.The core of the meal is exhausted, and the cups and plates are horrible.The phase and the pillow are in the boat, I don't know the whiteness of the east.

This "Red Cliff Fu" was written in the year of Renxu, that is, the fifth year of Yuanfeng.

The specific time is July [-]th!
Because of his job, Su Shi traveled around the mountains and rivers.

The deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment is nothing but a vain job.

What was the most in the Song Dynasty?
The most redundant officials!
Thanks to the political system of the Song Dynasty itself, the number of officials in the Song Dynasty was a crime of all dynasties.

To put it bluntly, a cat or a dog can be an official.

In other dynasties, one person did several jobs.

Song Dynasty is different, several people do a job.

And behind these several people, there are several substitutes.

It is precisely because of such a system that during the Song Dynasty, government orders were blocked, and officials played football everywhere.

Although he often plays football now, compared with Da Song, he is still far behind.

Therefore, Su Shi, the deputy envoy of Huangzhou regiment training, is a nominal position.

It can't be said that there are more than one deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment training, there must be five or six.

There is an official position, although there is no real power, but there is nothing to do.

Therefore, traveling around mountains and rivers became Su Shi's hobby.

Just on the Huangzhou side, it is rumored to be the ruins of Chibi.

Is Chibi famous?

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Battle of Chibi directly shattered Boss Cao's ambition to rule the world.

After that, the Three Kingdoms stood together and were in a stalemate.

Many idioms circulating today come from the Battle of Chibi.

For example, if the straw boat borrows arrows and burns the company camp, everything is ready, only the east wind...

The popularity is very wide.

Moreover, the Battle of Chibi also involved well-known figures such as Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao.

It is equivalent to the current All-Star Club.

During Su Shi's tenure in Huangzhou, he visited Chibi more than once.

The two "Red Cliff Ode" before and after were very popular, and the song "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgia" has been sung through the ages.

The "Red Cliff Fu" we are familiar with, whether it is lyrical or discussion, has never left the scenery on the river and the story of the Red Cliff, forming a perfect fusion of emotion, scenery and reason.

"Red Cliff Fu" runs through the whole story with scenery, and the wind and moon are the main scenery, supplemented by mountains and water.

Su Shi cleverly grasped the wind and the moon to describe and discuss.

From it, we can also feel the complex and contradictory inner world of Su Shi:
First of all, it is about boating on the big river on a moonlit night, drinking wine and composing poems, which makes people immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery and forget the worldly happiness;
Then, from paying tribute to the rise and fall of historical figures, I feel that life is short and constantly changing, so I fall into the depression of reality:

Finally, it expounds the philosophy of change and invariance, expounding that human beings and all things are equally permanent, showing a broad-minded and optimistic attitude towards life.

It progresses layer by layer, blends scenes, and is rich in meaning.

And Su Shi is also very good at expressing some less optimistic things with "I have a friend".

There must have been people who went boating with Su Shi at that time, but would the guests say so much?

Most likely not.

Not everyone has the sentimental sentiments of a literary man.

The guest in "Red Cliff Fu" is similar to "I have a friend" now.

The whole "Red Cliff Fu", in terms of genre, is "using writing as a fu"!
"Red Cliff Fu" not only retains the characteristics and charm of traditional Fu style that are similar to poetry, but also absorbs the style and techniques of prose.

Therefore, "Red Cliff Fu" broke the shackles of Fu in terms of sentence structure and the duality of rhythm, and more elements of prose, so that the article has both the profound charm of poetry and the penetrating concept of prose.

It is precisely because of this that "Chibi Fu" has the style of prose, and the whole article is full of melancholy, like "a spring of ten thousand dendrobiums gushing out".

Fu pays attention to duality and is more restricted in form, while "Chibi Fu" is relatively freer.

For example, the opening paragraph, "In the autumn of Renxu, looking at the seventh month, Su Zi and his guests went boating and swimming under the Red Cliff", is all prose sentences, which are scattered and orderly.

In short, it is easy to read without being jerky and stagnant.

Going down to the end of the article, most of them rhyme, but the rhyme is changed quickly, and the place where the rhyme is changed is often a paragraph of the meaning of the text, which makes this article especially suitable for reciting, and it is full of the beauty of rhyme, reflecting the charm of rhyme. strengths.

To put it simply, it is easy to read, remember and understand, and there will be no long and long descriptions of scenes that are difficult to understand like Han Fu.

Yi Ze walked across the river, through the prosperous city, and came to the Red Cliff ruins.

At this time, the moon was in the middle and the scenery was pleasant.

Just as Su Shi wrote: The breeze comes slowly, the water waves are calm, the white dew flows across the river, and the water shines to the sky.

"You came."

Su Shi was wearing a literati shirt, and his hair was simply tied together, which was indescribably elegant.

The audience looked at the two people complementing each other under the moonlight, and couldn't help being dazzled for a while.

"Fuck, this is too handsome. What's more pleasing to the eye than two handsome guys standing in front of you?"

"As a man, I have to admit that Yi Ze is indeed a little bit more handsome than me!"

"Yeah, it's just a few hundred million points!"

"In this situation, I just want to write a poem! Ah, Chibi, there is so much water! Ah, Chibi, the moon is so full! Ah, Chibi, you are so handsome!"

"Good guy, you have obtained the true biography of Qianlong, I admire you."

In the picture, Su Shi's face is indifferent, looking at Yi Ze who is coming, neither sad nor happy.

At this moment, he has completed the transformation in his life.

Just like a caterpillar, after experiencing wind, frost, snow and rain, it successfully transformed into a beautiful butterfly.

Of course, Su Shi, a caterpillar, was more beautiful than most butterflies in the world before it transformed.

"I've seen Mr. Su, it seems that Mr. Su has gained a lot."

Yi Ze bowed and bowed. Along the way, he also witnessed Su Shi's transformation.

From being frivolous and reckless when I was young, to being depressed and frightened during the Wutai poetry case, to this time, neither sad nor happy, forgetting both things and me.

The changes are amazing and welcome.

"Yeah, I have experienced a lot, and I have to feel something."

There was some expression on Su Shi's face, it was an open-minded smile.

"By the way, this is probably the last time we meet. Can I ask, how do future generations evaluate me?"

Su Shi finally asked this question.

From emperors and generals to ordinary people, once the freedom of wealth is realized, they will generally ask questions like this.

Of course, many people can't leave their names.

And many of those who left their names were just rated as mediocre people.

As a talented literati, Su Shi has a deep study of history, so he is also very curious.

In the eyes of future generations, what kind of person am I?

Before Yi Ze could answer, he walked across the bullet screen in unison.

"Dongpo Pork!"

"Dongpo Pork!"

The audience at this moment is very united.

The subtitles typed by fingers are mostly Dongpo meat and the like.

If Su Shi could see the barrage, he would be blown up.

After going through ups and downs in his life, writing books and compositions, and leaving behind countless ancient poems, it turned out that the first impression of the big guy was Dongpo meat?

Yi Ze didn't think too long.

In fact, this is not something that requires much thought.

"Among the later generations, there is a person's evaluation, and the younger generation feels that it tells your whole life."

From many evaluations, Yi Ze finally picked out the one he thought was the most suitable.

"Oh, what is it?"

Su Shi looked at the lake with more curiosity in his eyes.

and some tension.

With a steady tone, Yi Ze said:

"Su Tungpo is a hopeless optimist, a great humanitarian, a friend of the common people, a great writer, a great calligrapher, an innovative painter, an experimenter in brewing, an engineer, a person who hates Puritanism, A yogi Buddhist, a Confucian statesman, an emperor's secretary, a wine lord, a kind judge, and a political naysayer.

A moonlit night prowler, a poet, a clown.

But this is not enough to tell the whole story of Su Dongpo...

More than any other Chinese poet, Su Tungpo has the richness, variety, and humor of a multifaceted genius, with a brilliant intellect but a childlike heart—a mix that equals what Jesus called the wisdom of a serpent with the gentleness of a dove. "

After Su Shi listened quietly, he suddenly smiled.

"Although I didn't understand some things, I think this person's evaluation of me is good."

"That's true. In fact, sir, you are all well received in the eyes of future generations."

Yi Ze nodded, Su Shi's charismatic personality really fascinated many people.

"Are there no bad reviews?"

"Yes, but they are just like Wutai Poetry Case, just nonsense."

"understood."

Su Shi smiled, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and opened his mouth to write:
"The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and there are eternal romantic figures. On the west side of the old base, the human way is: Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves beat the shore, and rolled up thousands of piles of snow. The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and there are so many heroes at a time.

Thinking back to the time when Gongjin was young, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, and she was majestic and heroic.Feather fans and scarves, while chatting and laughing, masts and sculls are wiped out in ashes.When you travel to the motherland, you should laugh at me passionately, and you will be born early.Life is like a dream, and one statue is still in Jiangyue. "
