Su Shi's talent is outstanding, which is followed by his political ambition to display his talent.
With his outstanding talent, Su Shi entered the imperial examination at the age of 20, ranking second, actually first. Four years later, he won the first place in the "production subject" exam, which really deserved his reputation and caught the fast lane of official promotion.
Winning at the starting line will inevitably give Su Shi an illusion of a bright future. In the words used, it is "the teacher is talented, which means that the title can be established." As early as in the "Zuoke" exam, Su Shi expounded similar views in 50 papers submitted.
Su Shi said in "On Jia Yi" that it is difficult to make Luoyang teenager Jia Yi "abandon the old and establish a new one" on his own, because his opponents are too strong, and they are all "Wen Di and Gao Di's old generals who were awarded by Fu Jiang when the Emperor of Heaven was printed".
In this case, how to solve the problem of Jia Yi's lack of talents? Su Shi's plan is to "immerse in friendship, so that the son of heaven does not doubt and the minister does not avoid it ... but after ten years, you can succeed."
Sue and her son made friends with Ouyang Xiu and Mei when they first arrived in Beijing. The views in this paper can be said to be Su Shi's experience. "Ten-year success" is actually the goal that Su Shi set for himself, and confidence and determination are hidden in it.
The confidence and certainty of "ten-year success" can really be followed when Su Shi first entered the official career. For example, after the "split system", Song Renzong decided that the Su brothers listed together would be the future prime ministers of Taiping, and Emperor Yingzong, who was succeeded by Injong, wanted to surpass Su Shi, which was really "the son of heaven does not doubt".
However, with the sudden death of two emperors and Zongshen's accession to the throne, Wang Anshi's political reform unexpectedly kicked off and the times changed. Su Shi's ideal of ten years of success has become a bubble, and the reality is always skinny.
In the process of implementing the new law, there have been various drawbacks. Su Shi, who was "unbearable", naturally joined the anti-new law camp and wrote a letter to God, telling the truth about the interests of the reform, with some intentions to attack Wang Anshi in his words. Results JaeHee Ning was demoted to Beijing in the fourth year (107 1) and was appointed as the chief judge of Hangzhou, which happened to be ten years after Jia Yi wrote a letter.

"Ten years of success" failed, and Su Shi's ambition of "being a gentleman" never disappeared.
In Hangzhou, he wrote a poem mocking the New Deal, which, to a certain extent, was the catharsis of his talent and his dissatisfaction and disapproval of the new generation of North Korea's governance. I am full of complaints because I am unwilling.
In Mizhou, he resumed his detached platform and said, "Don't think about old friends, try new tea with new fire, and poetry and wine are in their prime." It seems detached and open-minded, but a poem "Jiangchengzi" reveals the hope of making contributions and making a difference under the cover of detachment. "When will Feng Tang be sent to the clouds?" I will bow like a full moon, look northwest and shoot Sirius. "
Even though he suffered a heavy blow from Wutai Poetry Case and relegated Huangzhou, in another poem "Jiangchengzi", he bluntly said that Tao Yuanming and Tao Yuanming were past lives, "just a previous life", and reorganized the sentence of "Hui Xi Ci" to teach farmers to sing together in the form of folk songs, but he still hoped to make a comeback.
In his letters to friends, Su Shi introspected his thoughts of repentance, such as "it's futile to talk about gain and loss" and "what is gain and loss about himself?" And "mindfulness bias, there are similarities and differences", which shows the emperor that I am wrong. Song Shenzong seems to have received the news of Su Shi's repentance. After all, talents are rare. Su Shi moved to Ruzhou after the newly-built Tang Xue couldn't live for a long time, which is undoubtedly a sign of reopening.
Jiang Lin Xian returned to Lingao at night was written during Su Shi's exile in Huangzhou. "I hate this body for a long time. When will I forget to run a camp?" A "pawn" means that Su Shi never forgets fame and fortune and still wants to give full play to his talents. The last sentence, "When a boat dies, Jiang Hai will spend his life", was not Su Shi's wish at that time, but just as Li Bai's idealized pursuit of "undressing and hiding in the depths of fame", but there is still a long way to go.
Therefore, although Su Shi in Huangzhou set foot in Tao Yuanming's poems and showed a free and easy mentality of "seeing through the world of mortals", he had no intention of resigning from his post and living in seclusion.

After that, Su Shi became a state official and was once promoted to a bachelor's degree in Hanlin, just one step away from Zai Feng. However, disputes within the party made him "uneasy about the DPRK" and he recommended himself to be released as a local official. Although he returned to the DPRK again, he soon returned to the local government.
Zhezong was in power, the new party came to power, and the old party was rejected. Su Shi was exiled to Huizhou, Guangdong Province, and then to Danzhou, Hainan Island.
A series of ups and downs made Su Shi gradually deepen his understanding of Tao Yuanming, let go of his persistence, and * * * came into being.
In Huizhou and Danzhou, Su Shi wrote 109 and 15 poems about "Harmony with Tao" respectively, which made him regard Tao Yuanming as his confidant and spiritual mentor, as he said in his letter to Su Zhe:
I'm just a poet. I'm only good at profound poetry. Yuan Ming wrote few poems, but his poems are rich and vivid, which are beyond the reach of Cao, Liu, Bao, Xie, Li and Du Fu. I wrote hundreds of poems before and after, proud of it, and ashamed of it. ..... But my Yu Yuanming is not only good for his poems, okay? If he is a man, he really has feelings. When Yuan Ming was dying, he told Yan and others. : "I am small and poor. Every time I live in poverty, I wander from east to west. Sex is just embarrassing, and there are many things. If you measure yourself, you will be in danger. If you die, you will be hungry and cold. " Yuan Ming this language, cover record also. I really have this disease today, but I didn't know it earlier. I have been an official for half my life, and I am deeply impressed. I want to teach at night.
From Tao Yuanming, Su Shi saw himself in his later years. He was not "clumsy in talent and too fond of things", but unlike Yuan Ming who "measured himself for himself and would harm Shu Ren". It is precisely because "I didn't know it earlier because I got this disease", so even though I experienced the Wutai poetry case and was deeply hit, I don't regret it. There is still no "forgetting to run camp", which leads to bad luck away from Lingnan. I am convinced of my foresight, avoiding the treacherous bureaucratic career and wandering residence, and even shouting "I am visionary, and the visionary is me."
"I am far-sighted, and far-sighted is me" is not only a slogan, but also implemented in practice.
Su Shi came to Huizhou and was attracted by the beautiful scenery here. He lived in Hejiang Building and Jiayou Temple successively. Neither of them lived long. So he built a white crane house on the white crane peak. "I have bought the white crane peak, which is a mortal plan." He called his second son, who lives in Yixing, Changzhou, to reunite with other family members. He really intends to die in Huizhou, regardless of state affairs.
In Huizhou, Su Shi is not allowed to sign books and official duties. As an idle person, staying away from the capital is tantamount to resigning and living in seclusion. However, after only two months in Baiheju, he was banished to Danzhou, Hainan Island.
It can be seen that Su Shi is not determined to resign and live in seclusion, just as Tao Yuanming is determined to see Nanshan leisurely, but the objective factors of turmoil make him involuntarily displaced and bumpy.
