/ Countdown to 9,000 days - Kyoto /

Notification: Su Shi, male, researcher at the National Academy of Social Sciences, reported by the public as delusional to the central government, is now under arrest for verification.

Briefing: Su Shi, a researcher of the National Academy of Social Sciences, is now under arrest for verification.

Sergeant Li Ding and Shu Qin interviewed by "Twelve Invitations": "Su Dongpo! Disorderly minister and traitor! Disturbing the people's hearts! Don't think you're inflating your ego just because you're the No. 1 Netflix blogger, I don't know where you get the confidence that you can escape us?"

At the time of his arrest Dong Po said, "Well, I'm cool. Let me say goodbye to my family?"

The imperial messenger said, "It's not that serious la."

Su Dongpo returned home and everyone cried when they found out the news. He now made up a story to coax them, and finally imitated the wife's female voice grunted: "Today caught will go to the palace, this time to send the old scalp. You quickly go and tell the truth, I take my son back to my brother's home."

Mrs. Su heard this and broke into tears.

The emperor greeted, do not use torture, good life interrogation. And sent a human monitor to look out remotely.

The eunuch came back to report to the emperor: there was nothing unusual. Only once, as if the delivery changed, sent fish (code word danger), he was scared. Also afraid of death, not as heroic as the legend. Usually but eat well, sleep well.

The emperor relieved: "I knew he had a clear conscience."

But this is not over, the powers that be could not tolerate him, he was relegated to Huangzhou. It is "pick all the cold branches refused to live, lonely sandbar cold". At this time, Su Shi, only officially changed into a plowing Dongshan above the Dongpo Jushi.

Soon the difficulties came, there was no food, and he had to learn to farm in order to feed his family.

He wrote a poem to his friend: I was a scavenger and picked up a lot of rubble, planted 300 acres of mulberry trees, and mowed the grass to build a snowy hall, labor makes me happy. The only thing that makes me happy is that I am as black as a ghost because of the wind and the sun.

He was tired and slept in the grass until dark, the herdsmen were afraid that the cattle and sheep stepped on him to wake him up, he also wrote about this into the "Huangniban Lyrics".

There was no hope for a career, so let's enjoy ourselves.

At this time, Dong Po, finally faded from the sharp political struggle, radiating ? the light of wit. He enjoyed this life to be able to contribute three great works to the world, "Nian Nujiao - Red Cliff Huaigu," "Former Red Cliff Fugue," and "Later Red Cliff Fugue.

Few hundreds of words, the deep rhythms, dashing and open, lost in the shining openness, out of the ordinary, such as riding the clouds and the wind to stand in the sky above.

Based on his ability to write these works, it makes sense that he would be envied by his peers.

This was the moment in Chinese cultural history when Su was truly born, at the age of 44.

Su Dongpo loved to "tease" his friends, and there was no joke he didn't dare make.

Foreign Minister Lu Dafeng said: "Hm~Su Zizhan, wait for me a little while more, and then around the way to make up for me, laughing at me to sleep is a tortoise. What's wrong with turtles, turtles live long."

Prime Minister Sima Guang said, "State affairs are controversial can be debatable Well, the local government debt problem, we are taking targeted measures to prevent and defuse in an orderly manner. Can safely say that the overall is safe and controllable. But you change my nickname behind my back, childish, others hear bad."

Fo Yin, abbot of Jinshan Temple, said, "We monks are compassionate, six roots are pure. Think he loves meat, I let the disciple to the market cut a few pounds of meat personally cook to do to him to eat, may be the fasting hall mistakenly as the almsmen's meals, he came to see me anxious instead of putting his hand to see the joke, for whom the hard work for whom sweet? Standing and talking does not hurt."

Forgotten friend Chen said: "I two in Huangzhou, often chatting in the field. My wife occasionally loud voice, I hoe did not hold steady fell to the ground, really not my rake ears yo. He also wrote a limerick to laugh at me, as a result, everyone knows the 'Hedong lion roar' this allusion, face is lost."

It was his turn to be the examiner for the imperial examinations. Several of his colleagues were busy marking papers, but he went around to various houses, gossiping and laughing at gags, making it impossible for them to concentrate on their work.

When Su Dongpo was interviewed, however, he was asked what was troubling him.

He pushed his Kongming hat: "The trouble is - too red."

Indeed, people spit on him, but also willingly pay for him, even at the risk of losing his hat to befriend him. Not only because he's talented, but also because he's just so funny.

A thousand years later, Yu Guangzhong also said: travel to choose a partner, do not choose Li Bai, he is irresponsible, may be a moment on the shadow; not to choose Du Fu, too bitter and hateful; to choose to choose Su Dongpo, fun.

Wherever he goes, there are fans everywhere. Ordinary people who see him are like seeing their favorite beans, cheering vociferously.

For example, Ma Mengde, put the official not to do, have to be his agent, the name is: at home rely on parents, go out rely on friends. The career lifelong system, a thousand gold is not changed.

Nest Valley, had to do early childhood education for his children, just to be close to him. His circle of friends should look like this: phoenix begets phoenix, dragon begets dragon, it's an honor to be his son's teacher.

The people who visited stepped over the threshold, and an old candidate found him with great difficulty and showed him his poems. The recitation was staccato and forceful, and after reading it he asked, rather self-congratulatory, "My lord, I wonder how my humble work is?"

Dong Po felt a little pity for him, not good to burst his bubble, so he had to say: "100 points!"

The man was happy, Dong Po politely added: "Recitation 70 points!"

Dong Po is such an unforgiving decent person.

This was his 14th year in the dynasty, and little did people know at the time that he was about to fall from his high horse.

Lin Yutang is also a fan, wrote his biography, and field trips, and astrolabe counting hanging, the beginning of the subtle conclusions: Su Dongpo, scorpion male, and the back of the back there are seven large moles, connected to the Dipper seven-star shape. Odd man out, more domineering than Qu Yuan, who claimed to have been born on the auspicious day of the zodiac.

After his dad gave birth to him at the age of twenty-seven, he suddenly became furious to study and prepare for the college entrance exam. It is said that the main reason was to be a role model for Su Shi.

In ancient times, there was no science subject in the college entrance exam, but the language exam was very detailed, what political theory, ancient books, poems and fugues, and curricula, but a detailed exam does not necessarily mean it is easy.

Meng Jiao in order to take the imperial examination, furniture are sold out, more than fifty years old only in the scholar, effort to get, viciously raised eyebrows, sitting in a BMW sports car, look at both sides of the beautiful women as clouds, the spirit of the second spring.

And Su Dongpo it, a shot is a perfect score essay.

The examiner at the time was Ouyang Xiu, looking at Su Shi test article to see continuous sweating, and the left and right people said, I have to retire, this kid is the MVP of the next 30 years.

Su Dongpo is fire life, after the official, life is fluttering in the water. His most famous poems were written by the rivers. New canals, well excavation, the invention of floating horse rice-planting, Xuzhou flood relief built yellow building, Su Causeway spring dawn increased the beauty of the West Lake, the invention of bamboo tap water to solve the livelihood of the people with fresh water.

Even if he was relegated to a small island in the middle of the ocean, he could not stop his tearful smile.

When Fengxiang was in a long drought, he begged the gods for rain, and when manna fell from the sky, he danced hand in hand with the people.

When he was in Yingzhou, when there was a famine and the people couldn't afford to eat, he sent an urgent letter to the court. In the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep, and called his colleagues up and said, "Should we sneak some wheat from the official warehouse and make pancakes for them to eat?

It was a drop in the bucket of action, but he was just willing to go to Jingwei.

Wang Guowei said, translated, that the poets of the following three generations, Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, Du Fu, Su Shi, these four people, even if they are not literary geniuses, the light of their personality alone can be immortalized!

He suffered, he was happy in his suffering, he saw through life, but still love of nature.

His talent, his purity, his fun, really too far ahead of the times, is the times do not deserve him.

His aesthetic interest influenced the romanticism trend after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and "Dream of Red Mansions" in the "fog of sadness, all over the Hua Lin" feeling, it is his pioneering curated and produced.

Leisure, the sadness of the leaning.

To think of the year he high school scholar, that day he was 21 years old, is in his person in the best age, he has a full of ambition, full of sharpness.

After the palace examination, Song Renzong said to the queen: I have selected two prime ministers for our Song Dynasty. Especially Su Shi, is a talent, must be able to pick the future beam.

Throwing the ground, the aftermath.
