Ren Pingsheng
(a candidate from Fujian)
His passion made him bold; his boldness made him open-minded;He is Su Dongpo, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Su Shi's life was full of ups and downs, but no matter where he went, his name resounded in the sky and the hearts of the people there.His words of "Let the wind and rain lead your life" have exhausted the truth of the ages, letting people know how to face the people, things and things around them with a cheerful, tolerant, and generous heart; let people know how to use a grateful and open-minded state of mind. to challenge our lives.
As the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, how many heroes have been wiped out by the waves.Our Su Shi stood in front of the Red Cliff where the heroes of the Three Kingdoms used to compete, like a big man in Kansai, holding an iron plate, and shouted loudly, "The great river goes to the east and the waves are washed away, and the romantic figures of the ages are on the west side of their hometown." Rolling up thousands of piles of snow", "The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and there are so many heroes at one time", "Life is like a dream, and a bottle is still pouring into the river and moon".This is his calmness after going through the storm, this is his true confession.He knows that in his lifetime, he will use good wine to face the picturesque country and live like a dream.
The ancients said, "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below".The beautiful West Lake carries the dreams of many Chinese literati. Although Su Shi was relegated to this point, he did not feel sad, complained, or aggrieved.Wind and rain Ren Pingsheng.He understood the simple truth of "being an official will benefit one party".Thus, a Su Causeway lay across the West Lake.He wants the soul stored in West Lake to drown all his pain and sorrow.
"Eating three hundred lychees a day, I will always be a Lingnan native." This is a poem he wrote when he was relegated to Hainan.He washed away the dirt of officialdom with the sweetness of lychees.He would rather be an ordinary Lingnan person all his life and taste all the sweet lychees every day.You see, what an open-minded state of mind this is. The wind and rain in the officialdom and the wind and rain in life can't stop his heart from moving forward.He wants to make his life sweet and open-minded.
The phrase "When will the bright moon come" expresses the poet's mood of missing his family when he is away. "I don't know the palace in the sky, what year it is..." However, he did not sigh sadly because of this, and lost courage and confidence in life.He let the bright moon in the sky express his longing for his old friends and family members who are thousands of miles away.The sentence "I wish you a long life, and a thousand miles to share the beauty" not only sublimated his stormy life, but also soothed the hearts of many Chinese people who are homesick and travelers.At this time, he gave his open-minded heart to the people who were full of yearning.He wants to tell them - the storms of life will not destroy us, we are together.
A stormy life; an open-minded life; a beautiful life; a passionate life.
Su Shi is immortal.
score review
This is a masterpiece of talent in the examination room.The author has a clear mind and brilliant writing style, and tells us about Su Dongpo, a great poet of the bold and unconstrained style, when he became an official and governed.When he was demoted, he was open-minded and still conscientiously did practical things for the people; when he was excluded, he was still open-minded and wrote many excellent poems...
The Intertwining of Loyalty and Justice
—— Approaching Song Jiang
(a candidate from Fujian)
"Shandong's timely rain, filial piety and black Saburo", "Sponsoring righteousness and wealth, loyalty to the liver and righteousness", "Liangshan calls Baoyi, Yuncheng Song Gongming", all these voices are calling for one name-Song Jiang.A filial son who "filial piety comes first" in the eyes of his father and brother, a stubborn person who is "a bandit in the water" in the eyes of the court, and a historical inscription intertwined with "loyalty" and "righteousness".
Song Jiang described by Shi Naian is the center of contradiction in "Water Margin". He is always in contradiction in serving the court and building Liangshan, and in fulfilling filial piety and going up Liangshan.But the core is his choice between "loyalty to the emperor" and "benevolence and righteousness".
Song Jiang is "benevolent and righteous", and the title of "timely rain" is unmatched by others. "Save Chao Gai", "Ji Wusong", "Kill Yan Po", and "Three Attacks on Zhujiazhuang", this scene is still vivid in my mind. . "A bowl of wine for best friends between life and death" is his creed in life, and "urgent people need to be urgent" is his principle of doing things. All of these have established his position among the [-] generals, ranking in the sky, in charge of the earth, What a glory; what a pleasure to eat meat in large pieces and drink in a big bowl; what a prestige it is to rob the rich and give to the poor, attack cities and loot land.
But this is precisely the empty sound of Shi Naian's elegy for Song Jiang. After all, Song Jiang is still a small official in Yuncheng. In his bones, there is the ambition to serve the country loyally to the Song Dynasty. "Dare to laugh at Huang Chao and not a husband" is Song Jiang's poem left in Wangjiang Tower. It seems that he despised the court, but in fact he sighed in vain because he had no way to serve the country.Whether it was Chao Gai’s private meeting with Su Taiwei after he beat Zengtou City, or the hospitality of Shuiyan Gao Taiwei, or Chao Gai’s replacement of the "Juyi Hall" with the "Loyalty Hall" plaque after Chao Gai's death, everywhere It reveals his desire for the imperial court to recruit security.However, he forgot that in the decadent Zhao and Song Dynasties, there was no room for him to survive as a small official in Yuncheng.What a pity, what a shame!Poor Liangshan [-] will be very popular for a while, but in the end it will die and wither.
Even in the face of these, Song Jiang put down the sword and gun that he had held tightly in loyalty and righteousness, and made the final choice between loyalty and righteousness. He drank the poisonous wine of the Song Dynasty in one gulp, wanting to "show loyalty" with death What's even more deplorable is that in order to prevent Li Kui from rebelling against the court again, he was also allowed to drink poisoned wine and go with him.All that is left is the tragic song of "the boundless universe, the size of the circle, the great responsibility, the great meaning, the true nature of a man...".
Song Jiang fulfilled his mission under the pen of Shi Naian. He lost himself in the interweaving of loyalty and righteousness, and finally could only be submerged in the waves of the Song Dynasty. I chose Zhongjun, and chose a seemingly beautiful but never-ending path.He is gone, maybe he will still smile at the court, and still have no resentment, leaving us with endless emotions.
If I could do it all over again, I would like to see the Song Jiang who really "laughs at the Yellow Nest", the Song Jiang who "does justice for the sky" in the water.Listen, he sang that song again, floating far, far away in the reed waterway: "A bowl of wine for life and death..."
score review
The examinee is familiar with "Water Margin", and is familiar with the characters in it. Especially, he has a thorough analysis of Song Jiang's gains and losses, spurs reason, and has his own unique insights.Only like this student, who is diligent in reading and good at thinking at ordinary times, can he achieve a masterpiece in the limited time of the examination room.
A capable minister in troubled times, a traitor in troubled times
(a candidate from Fujian)
On the Peking Opera stage, the white-faced Cao Cao, with a brilliant crown, sang loudly: "The world rapes me, and I laugh at the world's inclinations. How can we be both rich and honored if there are few chances to change?"
The "treacherous hero" in the world's population, the white face in the drama, and the countless allusions in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" piled Cao Cao into the incarnation of treachery.However, even Luo Guanzhong, who was "pro-Liu and demoted Cao", had to be impressed by Cao's talent, wisdom and courage, and had to admit that he was "a capable minister in governing the world, and a traitor in troubled times."
Cao was born as an official. At the age of 16, he was promoted to Xiaolian as the school guard of the city gate.Twelve-color sticks are set up, regardless of high or low. Once you violate the rules of entering and leaving the city, you will be punished with the sticks.This shows his "loyalty".The Yellow Turbans rebelled, and Cao Cao served as the captain of the hussars and fought hard to defeat the enemy, which is also an expression of "loyalty and bravery".
Dong Zhuo came to power and corrupted Gangji.Cao Ye took the seven-star sword and went to assassinate alone, and his courage was no less than Jing Ke.The assassination failed, and when Dong Zhuo suspected him, he acted accordingly and said that he had come to present the treasured sword, and after deceiving Dong Zhuo, he flew away from the capital starry night.Doesn't all this show that he is brave and resourceful?
I believe that if Cao Cao is governing the world, he must be a rare capable minister.However, the troubled times at that time doomed him to bear the infamy of "Han thief" to clean up the disintegrated Han family.The power of the Han Dynasty was exhausted, and the struggle for power by cronies, relatives, and eunuchs made it decline.At this time, a strong person must come out to hold the situation.Sun Quan can't do it, he sits in the 81 prefectures of the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River, and it is a fluke to have lived for four generations; Liu Bei can't do it either, relying on the name of the "Uncle Emperor" of the previous dynasty, using the mask of "benevolence and righteousness" to recruit Zhuge, Guan Zhang, Zhao Yun, and occupy Jingzhou Shuzhong In a fertile land, "children are not like virtuous people", Liu Chan favored eunuchs and couldn't get rid of the shackles of the previous dynasty.Facts have proved that only the Wei State established by Cao Cao has the ability to unify the world. The infamy of "Han thief" and "rebellious minister" is only used to tie the reins of the foolish people who were foolishly loyal to the previous dynasty.People who know current affairs, who said Cao Cao is not a hero?
"Breaking the Yellow Turban, destroying Yuan Shao, flattening Yuan Shu, punishing Lu Bu, defeating Zhang Lu, and accepting Liu Biao. Coercing the Son of Heaven to command the feudal lords", all of these show Cao's outstanding military talent and superb political skills. "The wine is near the river, and the poem is written horizontally", and he sings "The mountains are never too high, and the sea is never too deep. The Duke of Zhou spits out his nourishment, and the world returns to his heart", which shows his broad mind and romantic feelings.
From the perspective of today's all-round development, looking at the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who can match Cao Cao's combination of military, politics, courage, strategy, and talent?Zhuge is also inferior. He has no cruel means, so there will be eunuch Huang Hao's bad tricks; The delayed military rations blocked the journey to attack Wei.
Cao Cao is a strong man, with the ability to steal and plunder, the courage to recklessly, and the wisdom to suppress the strong and support the weak.His birth is not only a personal chance, but also an inevitable choice of history.
Mr. Cao, it is a great pity in life that we cannot make friends with him!

According to the sea and Yitian
(a candidate from Fujian)
History is quietly buried by time like sand, and when we look back, there is no trace left.However, when we really look back to listen to and touch this dusty memory, there are always strings of names echoing abruptly and echoing in the desert's singing sand.
