Ten thousand people are like the sea, and Su Shi's poems are all hidden.

This sentence comes from the first of Song Dynasty poet Su Shi's Three Poems about Wenzi's Illness and Not Going to Shangzhou. The original poem is as follows:

I heard that you were exempted from official business during your illness. When will you travel more?

Don't know that your rank is good, and you will feel old when you are homesick.

It's a good idea to go to the countryside on business in your spare time.

Only the king's city is the most secluded, and ten thousand people are hidden like the sea.

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: you don't have to come to Shangzhou when you are sick, and the geese on the journey don't have to fly around at any time. It's good to stay away from officialdom, so that you won't miss home, go back to the old days, and get old. It's hard to think of a really good plan until you read more books. Once in the officialdom, it is difficult to go home without credit. Staying in Beijing to raise relatives is the best place to live in seclusion, and it is very easy to hide a person in such a big capital.

1. Creation background: This poem was written on June 7th of Jiayou 10 (1062). Su Shi's younger brother was severely criticized by Song Renzong in the imperial examination system, which caused an uproar in the imperial court. Finally, Shangzhou (now Shangxian County, Shaanxi Province) is the fourth kind of official, and Su Shi is right. Later, although the decree was issued, his role was to stay in Beijing to support his relatives and resign. Depressed

This poem is about Su Shi, Su's younger brother, who resigned from Shangzhou and played the role of staying in Beijing to support his relatives. It is an explanation of what Su Shi did, and it also contains a comfortable explanation, which is "hiding in the city".

It's a pity that this poem is about brothers resigning and not seeing each other. Su Shi is going to Shangzhou via Fengxiang, so it is more important to be a brigade commander. Some people approve of my brother's resignation. "This book has many benefits. From blasphemy, you can't go to villages and towns. Only the king city is the most secluded, and the people are like the sea. " It also contains the comfort of my brother. My brother's relief is from the heart. Brothers have deep feelings, share weal and woe, and know yourself and yourself.
