The author Guan Jian, who left behind a story of brotherly love in the history of literature, is the most touching thing about Su Shi and Su Che. Su Shi and Su Zhe were admitted to the Jinshi exam together, and with his father, , Su Xun, , the family of three was ranked among the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties. What is even more valuable is that on the bumpy road of life, the two brothers care about each other and support each other. When they are old, they hope to be like childhood, "How can you know the wind and rainy night, and sleep in bed again."
(One) Both brothers are talented and talented
That year, the two brothers joined hands to take the "selectronic" exam.
"Correction" is different from "Enke". It is a test of the highest specification held by the emperor to select talents, and the requirements are extremely strict. The question of that exam was "A virtuous, righteous, and powerful, and highly advised". "Virtual and upright" means outstanding literature and correct morality, and "can speak out and speak out" means being good at policy discussions and boldly giving advice to the emperor.
Su Shi's reference situation will not be detailed. Su Che, who was 19 years old at the time, wrote "Imperial Trial Produce Science Strategy", and the spearhead in the article pointed directly at , Song Renzong, . He was criticized for indulging in the mood, being lazy in political affairs, and not listening to unpleasant words, but the women in the harem followed the opinions of them. Then he used six infamous tyrants in history as a metaphor to prove that the emperors of this dynasty lacked the ability to govern.
The young and vigorous Su Che, although he was open-minded and honest in his heart to worry about the country and the people, and to serve the country with loyalty, pointed out the current shortcomings of national defense, heavy taxes, and kneeling to the outside world, many people feel that although his writing style is excellent, he has become an angry youth venting. It caused an uproar in the court.
The examiner Sima Guang also passed the Jinshi exam at the age of 19. He seemed to see the shadow of his youth in Su Che, and gave Su Che a high praise, and suggested to be selected as a third-class (first and second-class as usual). The examiner Hu Su believed that Su Che should be demoted as such an insult to the emperor. Fortunately, Song Renzong was open-minded and generous: "I asked the scholars for their blunt words, and the scholars told me with their blunt words. Now I will dismiss him. What do the world think of me?" In modern terms, I recruit talented people with frankness, and talented people express their own opinions openly. If I cannot accept it, how do people in the world view me?
Song Renzong praised Su Shi and Su Zhe's brothers: "I have won two prime ministers for my descendants today." In the end, Su Shi entered the third level, "first in a century", and Su Zhe entered the fourth level.
Although Su Zhe failed to be selected as the third-class with his brother, Su Zhe's argument was far sharper and more intense than Su Shi. From this we can see that Su Zhe's strength is not inferior to that of his brother.
Su Che admires his brother from the bottom of his heart. He has said many times that he is not only his teacher, but also his like-minded friend. Su Shi knew Su Che's strength and once said, "I rarely know that sons are from , and their talents are harmonious and clear"; "Zi Yu's writing is worse than his servants, but the world does not know it, so he thinks it is worse." This is not a self-worthy word, but Su Shi's true words. Su Shi's student Qin Guan also agreed with the teacher's opinion, "The Secretariat (Su Shi) once said that 'I am not as good as my son', and I think I know what I say."
(II) The two brothers care about and support each other
Dad Su Xun explained when naming the two brothers: Shi was a horizontal tree used as a handrail on the carriage, but his appearance was not good, but it was essential. The wheel marks left by the carriage. I was worried that Su Shi was not good at decorating his appearance and was easily hurt. Ruts are safe and sound and can be avoided from disasters.
This Su father is really foresighted. Su Shi is honest and easy-going, full of literary style, and loves to speak out different political views and complain. He is often beaten up as a gun. In addition to taking the exam, Su Che's personality is a bit ostentatious, and he is becoming more and more stable as he grows older.
No matter where Su Shi went, he always wrote to his younger brother to care about his life; Su Che knew his brother's temperament well and always wrote back to him to drink less, talk carefully, and not cause trouble from his mouth. Due to different personalities, my brother is as good as my brother, and I look like my brother.
"Wutai Poetry Case" just broke out. Su Zhe got the news at the first time because he was close to the capital. Before sending people to Huzhou to arrest Su Shi, he immediately compiled a book to his brother so that he could be mentally prepared. On the other hand, he wrote " to imprison his brother Shi and wrote a letter to him overnight. The memorial said: "I have lost my parents long ago, but my brother Shi is alone, so that he must be for his life... I want to ask for an official to redeem my brother Shi, but I dare not expect to reduce his crimes, but I am lucky to be imprisoned and die." In short, I requested the court to remove his official position and atone for my brother to save his life.
After Su Shi was arrested in the Censorate, Li Ding, the chief censor who had a rift with Su Shi, kept interrogating and torturing Su Shi, and was determined to kill this unstoppable guy. One day, Su Shi received the misinformation of his death penalty in prison. He was filled with grief and anger and wrote a song " Desperate Poem " to his younger brother:
The Holy Lord is like the sky and all things are springing, and the little minister is foolish and dies.
Pay off your debt before the end of a century, and it is even more tiring to have no return.
is a place where the green mountains can bury their bones, and he is so sad that he is alone in the rain.
is brother to you in this life, and it will be a cause for the next life.
Explanation of this poem: Compliment the emperor first, and it means that the blame is your own fault. Then he said that his death in middle age was to repay the debts of his previous life in advance, but after he left, the whole family of ten would drag down his younger brother. I am not afraid of death, but the wish of "retire after success, and night rain faces the bed" that I made can no longer be realized. I am very grateful that not only will you be a brother in this life, but you will also be borne in the future because you owe you my friendship.
Song Shenzong , who originally didn't want to kill Su Shi, but later saw the manuscript of the poem and thought that Su Shi was upright and was moved by his brotherly feelings. In addition, his mother, Empress Dowager Cao, Wang Anshi's brother Wang Anli and others tried their best to persuade him and finally pardoned Su Shi. Let me say something off topic here, Empress Dowager Cao has a great background! He is the queen of Song Renzong, and the granddaughter of Cao Bin, a famous general of Song Dynasty who captured Li Yu alive. It is said that his eldest brother is Cao Guojiu, one of the Eight Immortals.
Chapter 0: Su Shi just walked out of the gate of the Censorate Prison after being released, and his younger brother had already been waiting at the gate. Su Che took his brother to the best tavern in Kaifeng City and drank with shock. After taking a few sips, Su Shi's talent surged and he chanted: But he was a dream for the wine glass, and he was like a god when he tried to pick up the poem. Su Che was so angry that he glared at me. When my brother understood, he slapped himself in the mouth, but he couldn't help but continue to recite: I have been tired of writing for my whole life, and I will never be tired of being famous here. Why! My attitude was lowered a little, but I was still very arrogant in my words and reputation.
At that time, Su Shi was imprisoned and his family was left unattended, so Su Che took his brother's family to his home. Now that my brother has been demoted after he was released, he has also been implicated and demoted. He first took his family to Jiangxi, and after settling down, he couldn't take a breath, and escorted his brother to Huangzhou .
People of all generations have envied Su Shi for his freedom and freedom and are not tied to the world. However, they do not know that all this cannot be separated from his brother's strong help, and have borne a lot of worldly trivialities and misfortunes for him. In a sense, it is Su Che's introversion, restraint, forbearance and tenacity that has made Su Shi's sharp and talented traveling through time and space.
(III) Bo Zhong is full of affection for Su Shi's poems and lyrics
Both brothers are great writers. They usually travel around wild geese. According to incomplete statistics from people, if the articles and letters are not included, only the poems and lyrics are sung with nearly 200 poems. The two brothers know each other and encourage each other. The most typical ones are Su Shi's "Waterko Yumienchi Nostalgia" and " Water Melody Songtou ":
Chapter 0 Su Shi scored "first in a century" in the science and technology exam, and immediately became the judge of Fengxiang Prefecture, Shaanxi. Su Che sent his brother to Zhengzhou before breaking up and returning to Beijing.
Su Zhe was appointed as the chief Mianchi County when he was 19 years old, but he passed the imperial examination and did not take office. When the two brothers went to Beijing to take the exam, they wrote poems in the temple and monks' house together. Su Che probably thought his brother was about to arrive in Mianchi, so he wrote a poem " to send Zizhan Brother " and sent it to him:
Let's say goodbye to Zhengyuan together, and the road is long and afraid of snow mud.
Returning to the horse and looking for Daliang, the pedestrians have already passed by the ancient guaxi.
Did you know that as a county official? The wall of the old monk's house is written together.
I think of traveling alone and having less flavor, I am silent and whispering but neighing.
After Su Shi received his younger brother's poem, he wrote a poem "Hezi is nostalgic for Mianchi":
What is life like everywhere, it should be like flying geese stepping on the snow mud.
Accidentally left finger claws on the mud, Hongfei's reconsideration of the plan.
The old monk has died and has become a new pagoda, and there is no way to see the old topic.
Do you still remember the rugged past? The road is long and the people are trapped and the donkey is neighing.
If you don’t tell you that this is a poem and a poem, you may not see any trace of being bound by it at all. Especially the first four sentences are written freely and read in one go. This poem is a famous poem by Su Shi. It not only describes the lonely mood of brothers' separation with sincerity, but also expresses the philosophical experience of life separation and reunion. It can be said to be a masterpiece of eternal songs.
Su Shi is a person with active personality and rich emotions. During traditional festivals, he will think of his brother. Catalyzed by his strong longing for his brother, he wrote a lot of poems for his younger brother. The famous work "Shuitu Songtou" that has been passed down through the ages comes from this:
Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking happily until the dawn, drunk, wrote this article and also awaiting the son.
When will the bright moon exist? Ask the sky with wine. I don’t know what year it will be today in the palace in the sky. I wanted to ride the wind, but I was afraid that the jade building and jade buildings would be colder at high places. How come you dance and play with the clear shadows?
turns to the red pavilion, low and beautiful door, shining without sleep. There should be no hatred, so why should we keep going as far away? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this is difficult to complete in ancient times. I hope that people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles apart.
Many people in the past dynasties called "I hope people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away" love, hoho! That was what Su Shi missed his younger brother. Of course, such a wonderful wish, you can think of divergent thinking as writing about love. The author believes that when a person is at the happiest or most difficult time, when a man is just awake after being drunk, he will be the first person he is closest to.
After the completion of Hangzhou, Su Shi took the initiative to request to be transferred to Mizhou, just because his younger brother is in Jinan, he can be closer to him. The two brothers once agreed that after they were old and retired, they must "be sure of the stormy nights and sleep in bed again."
days don’t go as expected. The two brothers have been demoted several times throughout their lives, and they have been separated for a few days. In his later years, Su Shi was demoted to Hainan and Su Zhe was demoted to Leizhou. Three years later, Su Shi died of illness in Changzhou on his way back from Hainan. He was the biggest regret before his death that he failed to meet his younger brother for the last time. He said, "Only my son has been demoted again and returned, and he has not been able to tell him at first sight. This is a pain." When the bad news came, Su Che burst into tears.
Completion at the end of the article: The author is interested in studying literature and history and has published several clumsy articles studying Su Shi on "Wishu". I write here to praise the friendship between the two brothers. If a person has such a kind of friendship, what else can he ask for?
