Liu Anshi said: "The great festival of the Dongpo Dynasty is very impressive, and the talent is broad and broad, but what you believe is your own. 」

Su Zhe said of Su Xuan: "It is good to people, such as fear, not good to reprimand, such as fearful, and brave to dare to do what is right, regardless of the harm." Use this number to be trapped in the world, but in the end I don't think I hate. Everywhere Su Xuan went, he was commemorated by the people, such as Huanggang, Hangzhou, Hainan Island and other regions, there are Su Xuan's ancestral temples.

Song Gaozong posthumously awarded him the title of Taishi, and he was called "Wenzhong".

Huang Tingjian: "People say that Dongpo wrote this article, because it is difficult to see the coincidence, so it is extremely workmanship. Yu thought otherwise. He is older than the article, so the pen is beyond the dust. Huang Tingjian said to Su Xuan's couplet: "The article is wonderful in the world, and loyalty runs through the sun and the moon. 」

Lu You commented on Su: "The world says that Dongpo can't sing, so there are many Dongfu words that are not consistent. Chao Yidao said: Shao Shengchu, and Dongpo are different from Bianshang, Dongpo is drunk, and he sings "Guyangguan". The public is not able to sing, but he does not like to cut to the rhythm of the voice. 」

Chao Wujiao: "Su Dongpo's words are said to be more dissonant. However, the layman's words are outstanding, and he is the one who can't be restrained in the song. 」

Yuan Hao asked: "Tang lyrics have many palace bodies, and they are all trying their best to do it. As soon as it came out of Dongpo, outside of temperament, I don't know that there is a text, and there is really a "wash of the eternal horses". People have words, Yuefu is not difficult to do, but it is difficult to do it after putting the pen from the east slope.

This is based on clumsy work, not a person who knows the slope. Therefore, the words of the little husband and the slut contained in the poem 300 are suddenly touched by foreign objects, full of heart, and wanton mouthful. Its first fruits want to be orchestrated.

Harmonic stone, by the hands of saints. In order to pass on the Six Classics and pass it on, it is said that the Dongpo Hanmo game is to seek victory or defeat with the predecessors, and it is mistaken. From this point of view, the Dongpo Holy Place is not intended to be a work of words, but a work of necessity.

Since the slope, the valley, Chao Wuyi, Chen Qufei, and Xin You'an have all been called by the lyrics and chanted their temperament. Linger in the scene. Clear and strong, can make people think wonderfully. There are also those who are clumsy and straightforward, do not decorate themselves, and become beautiful due to illness. It's all from the slope. 」

Wang Shiyu: "Valley Cloud:" Dongpo book carries the wind and waves of the sea. Read the words. Treat it as such. Trivial and Liu Qi are more than right, but they are laughed at by the bearded man?"

Yuan Mei commented on Su Shi: "Talented but ruthless, more interesting and less rhyme: because of his high talent. Shallow academic ability. There is a rise but no knot, more rigid and less soft: the test of its knowledge is poor sooner or later. 」

Wang Pengyun: "The words of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Pan Xiaoyao's Chaoyi, Song Zijing's luxury, Ouyang Wenzhong's elegance, Liu Tuntian's broadness, Yan Xiaoshan's Shujun, Qin Taixu's grace, Zhang Ziye's beauty, Huang Wenjie's Shangshang, and He Fanghui's mellowness, can all be simulated.

Only Su Wenzhong's Qingxiong is peerless, and people can't follow it. Its temperament, its learning, and its embrace are beyond the dreams of Hengliu. The lyricist Su Xin also said that in fact, Xin is also in the human realm, and Su Qi is immortal!"

Wang Guowei: "Compared with Tang poems in Song words, Dongpo is like Taibai, Ou and Qin are like Mahina, Qiqing is like Lotte, and Fang Hui and Shu are the ten sons of the Great Calendar. 」

Qian Mu: "The greatness of Su Dongpo's poetry is because he has never been politically proud in his life. He has been running all his life, and the twists and turns are all seen in the poems. However, Su Dongpo's Confucian realm was not high, but in his difficult environment, his personality was great, like his time in Huangzhou and later in Huizhou and Qiongzhou. At that time, poetry was good, but as soon as it was comfortable, it was a little bad, and the poetry was sometimes conventional. The strength of Dongpo poetry is that there is pride and fun. Its tranquility is not as good as Wang Mo's, and its loyalty is not as good as Du Gongbu's. 」

In addition, "their [Su brothers'] scholarship is covered with a very thick layer of explanatory brilliance, so they do not think that there is a positive and transcendent ideal standard for worldly affairs. On the one hand, they are quite skilled in the affairs of the world, and they can deal with them randomly by their cleverness. They also don't believe that one system is better than another. But on the other hand, they love to write and rhetoric, so they hold arguments, often exaggerate too much, and say as much as possible. A strategist close to the ancients. 」

Fang Dongshu's "Zhao Yu Zhan Yan" cloud: "Dongpo sees the world with his true face, and spits out his genus at will, which is naturally wonderful. 」

In the 1930s, when Lin Yutang was still floating overseas, he always carried a bulky collection of Su Xuan's anthologies with him, and later wrote the beautiful and popular "The Biography of Su Dongpo".

When he mentioned the reason for writing his biography in "The Biography of Su Dongpo", he said: "A master like Su Dongpo who is so creative, so upright, so laissez-faire, and so overwhelming and beyond the reach of the dust, with his works on the shelves, makes people feel that they have rich spiritual food.

It is a great pleasure for me to devote myself to writing this biography of him now, but is there any other reason I need?" This is exactly what Lin Yutang himself exclaimed: "Su Dongpo has his own charming magic. 」

Wang Shuizhao believes that the number of Su Xuan's literary works is the highest among the famous writers of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the quality is the "outstanding representative of the highest literary achievements" of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Anecdotal news

Su Xuan was in contact with Buddhism very early, and traveled extensively with the Zen master throughout his life, and often interacted with the Buddha seal Zen master in Jinshan Temple in Huangzhou, one day Su Xuan made a poem "Ji Shou Tian Zhongtian, the light is great, the eight winds do not blow, sit on the purple gold lotus" presented to the Buddha seal.

Su Xuan himself is a gourmet, and there are many records of Su Xuan's invention of food in the Song people's notebook novels. When Su Xuan knew Hangzhou, in May and June of the fifth year of Yuan You, it rained heavily in western Zhejiang, and Taihu Lake was flooded.

Su Xuan commanded the dredging of the West Lake and the construction of the Su Causeway. The people of Hangzhou thanked him. During the Chinese New Year, everyone carried pigs and wine to him to greet the New Year. Su Yun instructed his family to cut the pork into cubes, burn it until it was crispy, and then distribute it to everyone to eat, which is the origin of Dongpo meat.

"Quwei Old News" also recorded: Su Dongpo discussed the food with the guest, and took a piece of paper to show the guest cloud: "Steamed Tongzhou lamb, poured with apricot cheese stalks, recommended to steamed goose, Wu Xingkuo people cut Songjiang duck; Shaoyan undresses and lies on his back, making people recite Mr. Dongpo's "Red Cliff Before and After Fu", which is enough to laugh. 」

The Zen master immediately approved the word "fart" and asked the scholar to bring it back. Dongpo was furious when he saw this, and immediately crossed the river to ask the Zen master, and the Zen master laughed: "Bachelor, bachelor, aren't you 'the eight winds can't be blown by the eight winds', why did you hit the river with another 'fart'?"

"The Eight Winds Don't Blow" can be seen in the fifth volume of the "Buddha Land Sutra", and the poet and monk Hanshan poems also have this sentence, the eight winds are Buddhist terms, referring to the winds of the eight realms: praise, ridicule, destruction, reputation, profit, decline, suffering, and happiness.

In the second year of Song Renzong's Jiayou, Su Xuan won the favor of the examiner Mei Yaochen with a paper on "The Theory of Punishment and Loyalty", and recommended it to the chief examiner Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu also praised it very much, and wanted to be promoted to the first, but he was afraid that the article was written by his protégé Zeng Gong, so in order to avoid suspicion, he was listed as the second.

As a result, after the test paper was opened, it was found that the article was written by Su Xuan. When it came to the re-examination of the Ministry of Rites, Su Xuan took "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" as the first.

Regarding the content of "The Treatise on Punishment and Reward for Loyalty": "Gao Tao said the third of killing, and Yao said the third of You", the examiners at that time did not know the allusions, and Ouyang Xuan asked Su Xuan what kind of code he came from.

Su Xuan replied in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Biography of Kong Rong". Ouyang Yu still couldn't find it after searching, Su Xuan replied: "Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao, and gave his son Cao Pi to Shao's son Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Mi. Kong Rongyun: "That is, King Wu of Zhou gave the Duke of Zhou to Daji." Cao was surprised, asked what the code came from, and replied: "Take it for granted." Ouyang Xuan suddenly realized after hearing this. (To be continued......)
