Su Shi is generous and likes to make friends. Without friends, he felt wronged. In his eyes, the world is a good person. His criteria for choosing friends are "seeking common ground while reserving differences", and the so-called "people are divided into groups, and their goodness is also good"; He has a wide range of hobbies, and temples and rivers and lakes all reach the same goal for him. "The upper level can accompany the Jade Emperor, and the lower level can beg"; He is open-minded, cheerful and unrestrained, and always sees the advantages of others and leaves people with enough face.
Su Shi's life, in addition to making friends with six gentlemen and literati, there are many villagers, vendors, monks and prostitutes, all of whom are his close friends. In these people, Su Shi got the most basic warmth in his down-and-out life. When he was down-and-out, he didn't doubt life and lost confidence in this changeable world. On the other hand, the communication with the people also makes Su Shi feel warm from real life when he is frustrated, which makes his creation more humanized. His witty banter and kind banter all come from this.
Su Shi's friendship is four words-the heart of a child. When he was demoted to Huangzhou, he once ate a kind of shortbread in the home of a villager named Liu. He felt crispy and asked people what the cake was called. People say nameless, Su Shi said, "Why is it crisp?" . Later, a villager named Pan brewed a wine at home. If you feel particularly sour after drinking it, say it's not wine. Did you put the wrong water in the vinegar? Then you call this wine "the wrong water". It is said that these two kinds of food have now become famous local specialties.
Chao Gu, a fellow countryman of Su Shi, was a scholar when he was young, but he was not greedy for fame and fortune and was good at doing chivalrous things. He once helped Su Shi build a house on the cultivated land in Huangzhou, walked through the Woods and was very close to Su Shi. When Su Shi and Su Zhe were in high positions, Wogu not only didn't celebrate with each other, but recommended them by friends, but returned to Meishan, his hometown. When he learned that Su Shi's brothers had suffered another misfortune and went to Linghai, he dragged his thin and sickly body and decided to go to Linghai from Sichuan at the age of 73. The Shu road is difficult to pass, and the valley has gone through many hardships. First, I went to Meizhou and met Su Zhe. Su Zhe said with emotion that you are not a modern man, but an ancient man. He still wanted to go to Hainan, but Su Zhe dissuaded him and thought he was too old. Wogu insisted on going, the boat sailed to Xinhui, and the local soil thief stole his luggage. Later, I heard that the soil thief was caught in NSW, and Nest Valley rushed to NSW to recover the toll. In the end, due to the fatigue of the journey, I couldn't afford to get sick and died in a foreign country. Su Shi was very sad to hear the news on his way home from the north. He wrote to Yang Jifu, his hometown in Meishan, asking Chao Gu's son Zhao Mengfu to meet the funeral, and entrusted the local governor to arrange the escort of the coffin on his behalf. An old man walked three thousand miles and finally died, just to visit Su Shi. Such friends are called friends of life and death.
