Appreciation
The title of the poem, "Alone in the World", implies that "the world is muddy, but I am alone in the clear, and I am alone in the drunkenness of all". The long sigh of "who has done it all" evokes the reader's contemplation of the glory and disgrace of the heroes of the past and the true meaning of "right and wrong, success and failure, all things are empty".
How many prominent heroes in the corridor of human history, but is only a hasty passer-by. Therefore, Liu Zongyuan can be happy with the world, and the world, successively in Yongzhou, Liuzhou, fifteen years of hard work, and finally ended up in the South Wasteland, is still very much admired by the people.

Literary Achievements of Su Shi's "Solitary Consciousness"
Su Shi reached a very high level of attainment in the three aspects of literature, poetry, and lyrics, which can be regarded as a representative of the highest achievements of Song Dynasty literature.
And Su Shi's creative activities were not limited to literature; he excelled in calligraphy, painting, and other fields, and contributed to the arts of medicine, cooking, and water conservancy. Su Shi typified the cultural spirit of the Song dynasty.
From the scope of literary history, Su Shi's significance is mainly twofold: first, Su Shi's human attitude became a paradigm for future generations of literati to admire: he was free to advance and retreat, and was not afraid of humiliation.
Because Su Shi integrated the two attitudes of the scholars in feudal society with the same scale of values, he was able to deal with changes without fear and without fear.
Of course, this paradigm is more applicable to the scholar who suffers a rough time, and it can lead to the realm of life where one can uphold one's integrity and nourish one's character, which is exactly what all the scholars after the Song Dynasty wished to do.
Secondly, Su Shi's aesthetic attitude provided an inspiring aesthetic paradigm for future generations, and he embraced the world with a broad aesthetic vision, so that everything can be viewed and the existence of beauty can be found everywhere.
This paradigm has opened up a new world for future generations in terms of subject matter and expression. Therefore, Su Shi was universally loved by future generations of literati, is really a historical inevitability.
