The enemy-friend relationship between Su Shi and Wang Anshi
Wang Anshi and Su Shi, historical celebrities in China and famous writers in the Northern Song Dynasty, were famous figures in later generations and at that time. Most people are familiar with it, it should be in the literature. Both of them are brilliant and outstanding in writing, especially Su Shi, who can be said to be a literary master in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhuangzi Waipian Mountain Wood: "Besides, a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and a friendship between villains is as sweet as water. Gentlemen are indifferent to their relatives, villains are willing to give up, and people who are together for no reason will leave for no reason. " ? The relationship between Su Shi and Wang Anshi is just like that written by Zhuangzi.

Although Wang Anshi's literary achievements are not as good as Su Shi's, he is a famous politician in the Northern Song Dynasty and has a direct and in-depth influence on the politics of the Northern Song Dynasty. The famous Xining reform in history was presided over by Wang Anshi, so this reform is also called Wang Anshi's reform.

National laws and regulations are no trivial matter, covering a wide range. Once established, it rarely changes. It was not without reform during this period, but it fluctuated greatly. Xining reform is also a reform in all fields of the country. Naturally, it is the same, and there are countless voices of opposition inside and outside North Korea.

When Wang Anshi began to carry out political reform, court officials made choices one after another, and spontaneously formed a new party and a conservative party. Wang Anshi and Su Shi, two equally talented people, stood in opposing camps.

Su Shi's family is conservative, and his father also wrote "On Distinguishing Traitors", criticizing Wang Anshi, saying that he "never forgets to wash his dirty face and clothes, and this person is also very affectionate. Today, it's different. The clothes of courtiers are dog clothes, and prisoners are ashamed to talk about "poems" and "books". What a pity! People who are not friendly to anything are rarely big traitors. " He unceremoniously accused Wang Anshi that "people who miss the whole world will be the same person."

Influenced by his family, Su Shi stood on the opposite side of Wang Anshi as soon as he entered the official career and became a conservative rookie against Wang Anshi.

Politically, the two are antagonistic, and in order to safeguard their own political opinions, they will naturally attack each other.

Su Shi strongly opposed Wang Anshi's political reform. He wrote "Tribute School" and "Letter to the Emperor of God", and advocated "bonding people's hearts, enriching customs and ensuring discipline". Although Su Shi's official position at that time was not high, he occupied a great position in the literary world. Therefore, Su Shi's article has greatly hindered Wang Anshi's new party and reform.

Later, Su Shi became an examiner and made an allusion to Wang Anshi, which angered Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi was deeply trusted by Song Shenzong at that time. Under his impetus, Su Shi was finally demoted.

Although they have political differences, this does not prevent them from appreciating each other. When you take off your political cloak, you are your best friend.

In the second year of Yuanfeng, Wutai poetry case happened. Su Shi, who was demoted, added his frustration to the article. After he came to power, he expressed his gratitude and was caught by the New Party members. He immediately reprimanded him for disrespect to the Emperor and refused to accept the Emperor's disposal. "As for those who have ulterior motives and look at them with resentment and abuse, there is no such thing as poetry without restoring the festival of people and ministers."

Su Shi was arrested and imprisoned, and fell into the cage of literature. At that time, Song Shenzong wanted to execute Su Shi, and many people drew a clear line with Su Shi. Finally, Wang Anshi wrote: "How about Taiping killing talents?" In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Song Taizu formulated a national policy of not killing literati. Song Shenzong listened to Wang Anshi's advice, so Su Shi changed the murder to demotion.

After Su Shi was demoted, he came to Jiangning one year to visit Wang Anshi. At that time, Su Shi was disheartened by the Wutai poetry case, and Wang Anshi also retired and undressed.

The two men had a friendly meeting, talking about everything and making no secret of their appreciation.

When they traveled to Shan Jiang, Su Dongpo wrote: "How clever the peak is to cover the sun, and Jiang Yuan wants to float in the sky." Wang Anshi echoed and praised: "I have written poems all my life, and this is the second sentence!" "

A few months after the meeting, Su Shi also wrote a poem praising Wang Anshi for "riding a donkey into a barren slope and seeing Mr. Wang when he is not ill."

Advised me to try to get a three-acre house. I was ten years late for work. "Wang Anshi said Su Shi:" I don't know how many years later, there are still such figures! "

This is the real gentleman and celebrity. Politically, it is one thing; privately, it is another. Don't lose your fair eye because of the hostility of political positions. We don't hate each other because we stand on opposite sides! Su Shi and Wang Anshi are admirable people! ?
