Episode 3: The River Goes East AD 1082 is a year full of miracles in the history of Chinese literature.

In Huangzhou, Su Dongpo wrote the masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages, "Niannujiao: Chibi Nostalgia" and the "Chibi Ode" before and after.

Huangzhou underwent a strange transformation after 1082 AD.

When a rich life meets a vast land.

It will inevitably deduce the most perfect historical legend.

The Song Dynasty was not an era of seclusion. Intellectuals suddenly faced an unprecedentedly broad political stage.

Zhao Dongmei: The emperors of the Song Dynasty ruled the world with scholar-bureaucrats.

The best members of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Northern Song Dynasty always knew that they should restrain the emperor and help him become a holy king.

When Su Dongpo first entered Bianjing, he had no intention of writing poetry.

In his opinion, only strategies that help the sage become a wise king are the correct way of writing.

Li Shan: During the Xining and Yuanfeng periods of Su Dongpo's biography, Su Shi's political commentaries should be at their peak. Moreover, he had his own unique understanding of Wang Anshi's reform and the reform of the imperial examination. He wanted to use his way to make the emperor accept it.

thereby transforming the world.

When Su Dongpo was sent to Hangzhou, he began to write poetry.

Su Dongpo gradually realized that: unlike policy theory, poetry was not written for the court or the emperor, but for the heart.

Written for one's truest existence.

The original meaning of the word is not the form of an article.

It is singing lyrics. You have to fill in your words into the music score, so it is called lyrics. They are lyrics for the singers to sing.

The dominant figure in the Ci world at that time was Liu Yong, who could sing Liu Ci wherever there was well water.

Liu Yong's lyrics were sung by thousands of people at that time.

Du Ruohong: Liu Yong's situation in the Song Dynasty was like that of a pop singer.

Especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, it can be said that Liu Yong's Ci is the world's most basic Ci.

Before Su Dongpo, poetry had always been despised by the orthodox literary world.

In the hands of Su Dongpo, poetry truly became a literary form like poetry, expressing aspirations and conveying the truth.

It was Su Dongpo who no longer regarded this word as a lyric.

He uses lyrics to express his inner doubts about his ideals.

This is how he writes lyrics.

Su Dongpo's poems abandon the endorsement style and appear with the word "I".

He has put himself out on the stage and expressed his feelings.

Therefore, Su Dongpo's poetry is closer to Liu Yong's.

There is a Yushima Cathedral in Tokyo, Japan, which is called the Confucius Temple of Japan.

Every year during the high school and college entrance examinations, many parents and students come here to ask for autographs and make wishes.

On the third week of every month, a Su Dongpo literature lecture is held here.

This Song Dynasty literary giant had incredible influence in Japan.

"Going eastwards, you will find all the great people of the ages..." People who learn Chinese include beginners, intermediate, and advanced.

Su Dongpo is very popular among people above the intermediate level.

"The world is like a dream..." The poet's open-mindedness is evident in the words.

This kind of artistic conception transcends time, space and boundaries.

At the other end of time, Su Dongpo also stopped in his hurry and showed a long-lost smile in front of the red cliff where the waves were crashing.

On the bank of the Yangtze River in the northwest of Huangzhou, the foothills of the mountain protrude into the river. The rocks are as bright red as red, hence the name Chibi.

In 1082 AD, Su Dongpo wrote the famous "Niannujiao Nostalgia at Red Cliff" in front of Red Cliff.

"The great rivers go eastward and the waves are swept away. The romantic figures of the ages are on the west side of the old fortress. Humanity is Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms in Chibi." "Niannujiao, Chibi Nostalgia" expresses the heart directly. It is an outpouring of ambition and fighting spirit, and a lament about the failure of success and failure.

This poem has images of rivers, crashing waves, and changes in things, but it actually talks about the changes in the human world.

The fierce war and the neighing of horses and the sound of bows were all reduced to nothingness.

Cao Cao, who was composing poems, and Zhou Yu, who was majestic and heroic, were both indifferent.

Only this river, this moon, this wood, and this stone will last for thousands of years.

"He tried hard to understand, and it seemed to others that he was looking away. He should laugh at me if he is sentimental. He would have been born early, but I am still hypocritical. This is the only thing I come back and forth about. I just can't figure it out. I can't start from here.

Pull out the head, forget it, pour the wine into the river. I'll just live my life." Li Qingzhao commented on Su Dongpo's "dissonance".

But it is precisely because of this freedom that Su Dongpo's words are not hindered by time and space and circulate in the hearts of millions of people.

Fang Wenshan: "He himself did not deliberately pay attention to rhythm and dissonance. I think it is okay, because all his creations are from a literary perspective, not a musical perspective." After the changes in the world, Su Dongpo's lyrics

He has entered a realm of freedom and innocence, so that the heroic words are still buried with such delicate writing as "I remember Gong Jin when Xiao Qiao first married", which also adds a touching youthful beauty to the vast history. He can write history, like "

"Nian Nujiao", like "The Great River Goes East".

He can write about brotherly love, like "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".

You can also write about the love of a wife, like "Jiang Chengzi".

He changed the subject of the words.

All content, whether it is politics, economics, military, farming, nostalgia, etc., can be included in the lyrics, and it is no longer just about the love between men and women.

In a Dongpo restaurant in Huanggang, Dongpo pork is the most popular signature dish.

It is said that this dish has a deep connection with Huangzhou.

There is a saying that Huangzhou has three treasures: walls built with rotten bricks will not fall down, and pigs made of straw will not run away. Why can’t pigs run away? Pigs are very fat, and there are many fat pigs in Huangzhou.

Rich people don't want to eat some fat meat, and poor people don't know how to get it.
