-"Huanxisha"
This beautiful poem with bright colors was written by Su Shi when he was a magistrate in Xuzhou at the age of 43. In the ninth year of Xining, namely 1077, the court appointed Su Shi as the magistrate of Xuzhou. In the spring of 1078, a serious drought occurred in Xuzhou. As a local official, Su Shi, according to local customs, will lead everyone to the stone beach 20 miles east of the city for rain. After Su Shi asked for timely rain, he went to the stone beach to thank the people for the rain. Su Shi witnessed the bumper harvest of the local people on his way to Xumen Stone Beach to thank the rain. Unable to restrain his inner joy, he wrote a set of words "Huanxisha", entitled "Five Poems on the Road of Xieyu in Xumen Shitan", which is the fourth one.
"Jujube flowers fall on the rustling towels" means that jujube flowers fall on people's headscarves one after another. This sentence shows that Su Shi must have traveled incognito and passed under the jujube tree in the village. Su Shi is a good official who is close to the people. Wherever he goes, he can benefit the people and is deeply loved by the local people. When he went out to beg for rain, he didn't disturb the people like some bureaucrats, but chose to travel without pomp and incognito. It can be seen from this detail that Su Shi is very close to the people.
As parents, the greatest wish is to see their people live and work in peace and contentment. On the way to beg for rain, Su Shi saw this scene along the way: "The car is ringing in the south of the village. Cow clothes and ancient willows sell yellow claws. " "Silk reeling" is a hand-operated silk reeling tool. From the southern end of the village to the northern end, the voice of every household reeling is ringing. April is the season for picking mulberry and reeling. Women gather mulberry at the head of the village and sit under their windows to weave silk. In the Song Dynasty, there was an anonymous song "Nine Machines", which was written about a young woman picking mulberry and weaving. One of them said, "Wu silkworm is old and young." The Dongfeng banquet stops at Changzhou Garden, and the ladies-in-waiting in the pavilion need to change their dancing clothes. This is the scene of "the south car in the village rings". At this time of the year, every household must pay taxes on spinning and reeling.
Here, there are jujube flowers scattered all over the place, creaking cars and songs, and under the old willow trees on the roadside, there is also a farmer wearing hemp fiber selling cucumbers. The rustle of falling flowers, the hum of pulling carts and the cries of melon farmers all vividly show the thriving scene in the countryside and are full of rich flavor of life. Su Shi was happy to see such a peaceful scene.
When Su Shi first took office in Xuzhou, he was caught in the flood of the Yellow River, and he organized people to fight the flood. In order to completely solve the influence of the Yellow River flooding on Xuzhou City, he also organized people to build Taohuawu. Later, when there was a drought, Su Shi led the people to pray for rain. Now, how can he not be happy to see that his hard work has brought people a happy life? So the whole picture is full of lightness and joy.
This word is not only about scenery, but also about things. The next film records some activities of the poet himself. On the way to Xie Yuwei's private visit, he was already "drunk". "Drunk" means sleepy after drinking, which means that he had drunk before going on the road. "The length of the road" means that the destination is far away, and he has walked a long way. "I just want to sleep" describes his drowsiness during the journey. Most people are prone to drowsiness after drinking, not to mention the long journey under the scorching sun. This sentence has vividly described his long journey, exhaustion and exhausted state.
Although the sun in early summer is not as big as that in midsummer, it has already shone on people. Walking in this sunshine, it is easy to feel hot and thirsty, what's more, the sun has risen and it is nearly noon. People are prone to dry mouth after drinking, and they are more likely to feel thirsty when traveling in the tired and tired sun. At this time, the poet couldn't help but want to drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat and quench his thirst, so he "knocked at the door and asked the savage."
"Wild people" refers to the homes of rural people. As the highest official in Xuzhou, Su Shi not only didn't have a grand ceremony when he traveled, but also went incognito and kept a low profile. When he was tired and thirsty, he didn't order his attendants to ask for it. Instead, I personally knocked on people's doors and politely discussed with them: fellow villager, can you give me some tea to quench my thirst?
The use of the word "question" not only reflects the poet's desire for a cup of tea to quench his thirst, but also reflects his anxiety and anxiety. He was worried that in the busy farming season, if there were no farmers, it would be inconvenient for him to rush in and he had to "knock on the door". The whole word is not engraved, but the whole picture is ready to come out, and the image of a modest and approachable satrap is vividly on the paper. At the same time, it also shows that the relationship between Su Shi and local people is close and natural.
When Su Shi was appointed as the magistrate of Xuzhou, he also did a good thing for Xuzhou people, that is, coal mining. No coal was found in Xuzhou in the past, and rice is very expensive. In A.D. 1078, Su Shi sent people to Baitu Town to look for coal, which solved the problems of civil fuel and iron smelting fuel. Su Shi is worried about the people and anxious for them. How can people in Xuzhou not love him?
Such a people-friendly chief executive is not sitting in the yamen, but always in the front line of disaster relief, with the people. They are not opposing officials and people, but friends who can treat each other sincerely.
So although the words did not say whether Su Shi wanted a bowl of tea to quench his thirst, we can completely imagine the scene at that time. . He must be warmly received by the "wild family", and even people will tell him of his arrival, and he will be warmly embraced by the whole village. Simple villagers should express their gratitude to this respectable and lovely satrap with their most sincere and simple feelings.
Anyone who loves others will always love others. Wherever Su Shi went, he left immortal achievements. It is because of his love for the people that he won the people's love for him. In his most difficult life of relegation, the concern and support of these farmers gave him a bright and warm life. It is these light and warmth that give him the courage to face difficulties and hardships, and also make him broad-minded, free and easy, and make him unique in history!
