The Four Steps to the Sky

One of the devil's rebels, the floating pot space─Su Shi (this is one of the devil's staunch guardians, because when the peerless Xiaoyao Wang traveled all over the world, Su Shi admired his aura of arrogance and regret for the world and his caressing all things)

Su Shi (1037-1101), styled Zizhan, styled Hezhong, nicknamed Dongpo Jushi, was born in Meishan, Meizhou (now Meishan City, Sichuan), a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty of China.

His poems, ci, fu and prose are all highly accomplished, and he is good at calligraphy and painting. He is a rare all-rounder in the history of Chinese literature and art, and is also recognized as one of the most outstanding masters in Chinese literature and art in thousands of years of history.

His prose is called Ou Su together with Ouyang Xiu; his poems are called Su Huang together with Huang Tingjian, and Su Lu together with Lu You; home one.

His paintings created the Huzhou School of Painting.Because there are more essays and words than writings, in the Song Dynasty, examinations with essay questions often appeared in every scientific examination.Scholars at that time said: Su Wenshu, eat mutton, Su Wensheng, eat vegetable soup. [

He created the bold and unrestrained style of Ci, and changed the magnificent style of Ci since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.

Su Shi's ancient prose is also very famous, known as Han Chao Su Hai, as famous as the ancient prose master Han Yu.Together with his father Su Xun and younger brother Su Zhe, they are collectively called Sansu, father and son, and they are also among the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties.

In terms of genre and rhythm, Su Shi does not like to cut and adjust the rhythm. The literary life of words is more important than the life of music.Su Ci works are often orderly, clarifying the content of the Ci, or the reason, time, and place of writing the Ci, and the facts are clear.

According to legend, when Su Shi was an official Hanlin scholar, he once asked the corporal: How is my Ci like Liu Qi (Liu Yong)?The undercover officer replied: "Liu Langzhong's Ci is only suitable for seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, holding a red tooth board, singing on the willow bank, the wind and the moon."The bachelor's poems must be Kansai Dahan, the copper pipa, the iron Chuoban, and sing the great river to the east.

In his later years, Su Shi used his pens calmly, and the representative of his early calligraphy was "Zhiping Tie", with precise brushstrokes and charming style of writing.The middle-aged representative is "Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Post".These poems are two poems written by Su Shi when he was demoted to Huangzhou in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082) because of the Wutai poetry case.

The verses are gloomy and desolate yet open-minded, and the calligraphy brush and ink color also change with the context of the verses, with ups and downs, extraordinary momentum and coherence, reaching the almost perfect state of hand-in-hand.

Therefore, Yu Shu of the Yuan and Korean Dynasties called it the third running script in the world after Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" and Yan Zhenqing's "Nephew Sacrifice".

The representative works in his later years include the running script "Dongting Spring Fu" and "Zhongshan Pine Mash Fu".

His representative works include "Huangzhou Cold Food Poems", "Dark Clouds in the Sky", "Dongting Spring Ode", "Zhongshan Pine Mash Fu", "Chun Post Ci", "Wine Love Poems", "Cold Food Poems", "Shu Zhong Poetry", "Ren Lai De Shu Post", "Reply to the Teachers' Thesis Post", "Jiang Shang Post", "Li Baixian Poem Post", "Ci Yun Qin Taixu Poem Post", "Duhai Post", "Sacrifice to Huang Jidao" Volume", "Plum Blossom Poetry Post", "Former Chibi Fu", "Dongwu Post", "Beiyou Post", "New Year Exhibition and Celebration Post", "Baoyue Post", "Lingzi Post", "To Nangui Shijun Tie", "Ci Bian Cai Yun Poems", "Yi Ye Tie", "Chen Kui Pavilion Stele", "Zhi Ruoxu Chief Manager's Letters", "Huai Su's Preface" and so on.
