What did Su Shi eat?

Author:Look at the think tank Time:2022.08.25

On August 24, 1991, Su Shi died at the age of 64.

For this great poet, we can have too many stories for thousands of years.

Needless to say poetry.

I would like to ask, which Chinese have not been comforted by "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together for thousands of miles", and was shocked by "the east of the river to the waves, the eternal characters", and was moved by "two years of death and death, not thinking about self -impatient". What about it?

On calligraphy, his "Cold Food Post" is called "the Third Wing of the World".

In terms of political achievements, the Suti of Hangzhou was there. It was green for spring, and tourists who came south to north were rumored that he governed the West Lake and caring for the people's reputation.

But what we want to talk about today is a little bit more--

Su Shi and Eat.

As Lin Yutang said, "If I talk about Su Dongpo, in China, it will always cause a kind smile that people will admire."

Compared to other poets, Su Shi seems to be closer to our ordinary people.

The most close to this layer is that he is also full of love.

According to statistics, in Su Shi's existence works, there are 1212 poems involving diet, and more than 50 poems related to eating.

Not to mention more than 60 dishes in the name of "Dongpo" all over the country.

Whether it is literature and reality, thousands of years have passed, and our daily life still remains the mark of him and food.

How did such a poet who loved it made? What are the stories?

This article is reproduced from the WeChat public account "Visual" (ID: IIIDAILY). The original first was released on August 24, 2022. The original title was "So, what exactly did Su Shi eat? ", Does not mean looking at the view of the think tank.

We often say that girls who love to laugh will not be too bad.

In fact, boys who love to eat will not be too hard.

Su Shi loves to eat, what is the point of love?

He once introduced himself and said: "I can accompany the emperor of Jade, and I can accompany the Bei Tianyuan to begging. Seeing the world in front of me, there is no bad person."

He can have a good relationship with everyone in the world. In fact, it is true of eating.

"Shang Kepin Yupan Zhenyu, you can taste steamed bean porridge. Nothing in the world is not delicious."

And why there is such a big gap in the type of food, which is about his experience.

In 1037, Su Shi was born in Meishan, Sichuan.

Because of his talented talents, he is good at learning and diligent, coupled with the good education of his parents, you are young.

At the age of 21, he took the exam for the first time to participate in the imperial examinations.

For a while, the famous capital of Beijing, even the main examiner Ouyang Xiu boasted that "his Japanese articles will be alone in the world."

Su Shi, who has just entered the official, has a young man's ambition, has been valued by the emperor, and assisted with the ministers.

However, the good times did not last long. Because of the oppression of Wang Anshi's reform of the people's livelihood, Su Shi encountered the Wutai Poetry Case and began to be degraded one after another. Since then, his career career continues.

This experience can be said to fall from heaven to hell for Su Shi.

With such a big gap, when you change to other officials, at least you have to say, "Why should you meet each other?"

But Su Shi soon accepted reality and was happy.

And this has to be said to Su Shi's personality. Lin Yutang once said that he was "an irreversible Lotte."

The huge changes in life did not affect his heart. On the contrary, Su Shi, who was degraded to the outside world, saw a broader world.

He began to contact different classes, crowds, and recognized the diversity of the world.

Wanjuan has become a bamboo on the chest, and Wanli Road stepped on his feet.

Therefore, Su Shi's minds are getting wider and wider. Even when his life is the worst, he still adheres to his love for life.

The specific manifestation is that you have a deeper love for the hard -won food.

He felt the deliciousness and exquisiteness of each food with his heart, and also confessed to them with poetry.

He eats fish, which is "rotten fragrant white fish fat, crushing some artemisia cake slippery".

Eating yam is "the ambergris is still white, and the taste is more clear."

Eating bamboo shoots is "Xuemo milk flower floating noon, mullet of mushrooms and artemisia bamboo shoots to try spring disks.

Eating oranges is "the fragrant fog is half -broken, and the spring springs are timid. Wu Ji is still fragrant for three days."

Eating the ravioli is "hand red ice bowl, the bowl of the bowl of ice, the ice red hand.

Native

These seemingly ordinary foods, in Su Shi's mouth, Su Shi's writing, instantly became smart and mouth -watering.

Of course, this kind of exhaustive writing force describes the wonderful preference of food may also lead to "blind".

On one occasion, Su Dongpo met the person who bought a ring cake, marveling at the skillful craftsmanship and the taste of the ring cake, so he wrote a "Cold Giver":

"The slim hand is rubbed to the jade color, and the blue oil is fried and tender.

Hands, jade, blue oil, tender yellow deep, night, spring sleep, beautiful women, arms gold ...

The color of the ring cakes is described in various light words before, and the later article is described in an environment to create a sense of sweetness in the spring sleeping in the spring.

Beautiful?

But who can think of the ring cake written by this poem is the sister -in -law we eat now. You said that this poem is written in a mule, and it feels wrong.

Say no, indeed each word, each metaphor is in line.

If Su Shi wrote advertising words in modern times, it was definitely the leader of 4A.

But in the final analysis, there is no real love for food, it will never describe a simple food so living.

Because of his love for food, Su Shi not only enjoys food, but also takes the initiative to discover food.

The life after other officials was degraded was the "yellow reed bitter bamboo around the house" who cried all the way.

Su Shi's life after being degraded was the "good bamboo shoots of bamboo shoots" all the way to find food.

Now when we think of Su Shi and food, the first thing we think of must be Dongpo meat.

In fact, Dongpo meat is the deliciousness that Su Shi was degraded to Huangzhou, Hubei at one time.

He found that the place in Huangzhou was rich in pork, but the rich people refused to eat it (at the time of eating mutton), and the poor did not know how to do it.

So he started to study.

"Clean the dribble, less water, the firewood flames can't afford it. When he is familiar, he can't urge him.

Simply put, it is stewed in low heat.

Obviously, Su Shi was very satisfied with his craftsmanship. At the end of "Pork Song", he proudly said, "Get up in the morning to make two bowls and get his own monarch."

Because of Su Shi's discovery this time, since then, the food that the poor and the rich have been ignored have eventually become an indispensable delicious food on the Chinese dining table.

By the way, even the name "Su Dongpo" was after he arrived in Huangzhou, because he didn't eat it, he decided to cultivate vegetables by himself.

Because cultivated land is located in Dongpo, he claims to be "Su Dongpo".

And Huangzhou is just the first stop of Su Shi's derogation.

The second degradation was derogated to Huizhou, Guangdong.

Similarly, like Huangzhou, Huizhou was also a wild place during the Northern Song Dynasty.

When he learned that he was going to Huizhou, Su Shi collapsed, so he wrote a word "Magnolia Orchid Ling · Su Zuyu Yuyu Ziyouzi" for his brother Su Zhe:

"The sycamore leaves have three more rain on the leaves. There is no place to break the dream soul. The night's cool pillow is known to know autumn, and he listens to the cold and promotes the opportunity.

Dreams have always been there. Still in Jiang Ting's drunk singing and dancing. In front of Zun, there must be a monarch, for the sake of goodness and heart. "

Words and sentences are all whispered. However, Su Shi is indeed Su Shi.

As soon as he arrived in Huizhou, he found another delicious local place-

litchi.

"Four o'clock in Luofu Mountain, Lu Orange Yangmei is new, and three hundred litchi is the day.

He found that this place in Huizhou is like spring, so all kinds of fruits are uninterrupted, and what he likes to eat is lychee.

I can't wait to eat three hundred a day, stay in Huizhou and not leave!

But it ’s not enough to eat fruits (it will get hemorrhoids), Su Shi still wants to eat meat.

However, Huizhou did not produce pork like Huangzhou, and sheep killed only one a day.

I am derogatory, there is no right or money, and the fresh lamb can naturally not be eaten.

Therefore, you can only find another way.

Su Shi began to notice the remaining sheep spine at the lamb stalls. Can these cheap corners be eaten?

Sure enough, in the letter to his brother, Su Shi proudly wrote the practice of cooking the culinary sheep spine.

First cook the sheep's spine, pour the wine, sprinkle with a little salt to grill with fire, roast it until the sheep's spine is slightly coke, and you can eat the flavor of crabs.

It looked sad, but obviously, Su Shi didn't care, and even joked his brother.

In recent years, you have become bigger and bigger in the official position in recent years, and you ca n’t bite the bones when you eat more meat. How can you know the deliciousness of this kind of food?

So write to you to tell you this method, although it is a joke, it can be tried. But in this way, the dogs in the world are not happy.

Su Shi did not indulge in the pain of being degraded and could not eat meat, but was shocked by the small shock in life.

It may be because Su Shi was too expressive, and some political enemies decided to make Su Shi suffer again.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty did not kill civilians. Therefore, the most common method to get rid of a civilian is exile.

The more far away, the more the officials can be better than death.

Su Shi's third derogation was exiled to Puzhou, Hainan.

At that time, the distance from Lizhou overseas to the capital, "Bird Flying is still half a year", undoubtedly a "barren land".

At this time, Su Shi is 62 years old, and it can be seen how difficult it is.

Sure enough, after arriving in Lizhou, "the weather was humid and the ground was steamed."

Su Shi wrote in "The Book of Cheng Xiucai": "There is no meat here, no medicine, no medicine, no friend, no friend, no charcoal, no summer spring."

But even such an environment, he found the joy of life (delicious food )--

Oyster.

As early as a thousand years ago, our great poet Su Shi found that the best way to eat oysters was to bake.

After discovering, he also specially wrote a letter to his younger son Su.

"Dongpo is in Hainan, and oysters are beautiful. Uncle Yishu said:‘ Doctors do n’t know about the Chinese and North Korean scholars know that they are struggling to migrate south to divide this taste. ’”

And also joked that do not tell other officials, otherwise everyone would not eat it to eat oysters to Dazhou. Screenshot of the documentary "Su Dongpo"

Three times derogatory, Huangzhou, Huizhou, and Puzhou, the environment is desolate than one, Su Shi's life is more bitter than once.

But no matter how difficult it is, Su Shi can adjust his mentality and dig into the beauty of life.

Moreover, he not only uses food to comfort himself, but also inspires friends.

"Before he returned to the north, it was spring again. When I put wine, crab, yam, and peach apricot, I would like to recover from the public drink."

It's spring when you come back, be sure to invite me to drink! Eat the fattest crabs and the fresher fruits, drink together!

It was food to comfort Su Shi's life, and that Su Shi discovered the deliciousness of food.

Pursuing high pursuit of food

Su Shi is not only delicious, he also eats.

Many people now say that we like to eat, but most of them follow the trend, eat and eat.

But Su Shi is not like this.

Because of the rich life experience, he has accompanied the emperor and talked about beggars in the field. Therefore, there are far more foods he have eaten than others, and naturally he knows more.

In "Old Fu", Su Shi wrote his highest pursuit of food.

"Ding Ding Drum Knife, easy to cook with teeth. The water is new and the kettle is clean, the fire is evil and the wrapping is evil. Two chelars. Rotten cherry beads of fried honey, steamed lambs of apricotici.

If you want to do it, you can cook it. The water must be fresh, the chopsticks must be clean, and the firewood is just right. Some dishes should be dried and used after cooking multiple times, and some dishes should be slowly tormented in the pot. Eat meat only the best meat on the back of the pig's neck, and only two big chews of the most beautiful crabs before the crab eats crabs. Put the cherry in the pan and cook them into honey, steam it into exquisite cakes with almond berries. When the clams are half -cooked, eat wine, and the crab must be steamed with the lees, and eat it slightly.

The words and sentences all highlight a delicious old lady who eats the world, the high requirements for food.

However, we can't define Su Shi as a person who pursues the ultimate in diet.

It is because he has enjoyed the wealth of the sky, but also has a weak panic.

Therefore, he not only eats sweet, but also suffers hard, and even he can be sweet in suffering.

After experiencing all thousands of sails and surveying the world, he also found the guidelines for life and diet.

Advocate frugality-

In a letter to his friends, he said: "The desire of the appetite, the poor, and every frugality is also the way to bless the longevity."

It means that there will be no end to the pursuit of diet. Therefore, only advocating frugality is the secret of contentment of longevity.

Do not eat from time to time-

"There are three or two peach blossoms in bamboo, and the Prophets of the Chunjiang Water Warm Ducks.

It means that the diet should be at the time of time, and you can eat puffer fish only in the season of puffer fish.

Light diet-

"Qiu Laishuang is full of the east of the garden, and the grandchildren of the lady. I am the same as He hate.

After the autumn frost, the vegetables are full of gardens. I am the same as the Western Jin Dynasty who advocates luxury.

Su Shi's attitude towards food is actually his attitude towards life.

As he said: "Everything can be observed, there are considerable, all cola, it is not necessary to blame those who are strange. I am not happy. "

Everything has a visible place. Since there are places that can be appreciated, people can make people happy, and there is no need to be weird, novel, majestic, and magnificent landscape.

Eating grains and drinking thin wine can make people drunk. Fruits and vegetables can be hungry. Where can I be unhappy?

In more than forty years of career, Su Shi survived more than half of his time.

There are no wines and dishes in these places, there are no Yupan treasures, and they may not even stop even the most basic life.

But Su Shi still loves love, not complaining about the sky, and enjoying every bite of food he can taste.

Su Shi has long given us a model of how to face suffering.

After being deceived by his life, he did not complain, but did not yield, but changed the status quo as much as possible and upward.

Even if he is a university, he is so difficult to rely on farming to fill his family, but he is still responsible for being a parental official.

Not to mention Hangzhou West Lake, even if it is the worst environment and the worst situation in Hainan, he is also concerned about people's livelihood and actively leads the people to work in farmers, dig wells, treat diseases, build schools, lectures, and preach.

It is precisely because of his teachings that Hainan appeared in history the first person in history, the first Jinshi.

From then on, the veins are stretched.

Based on the most barren soil, he still planted flowers.

Su Shi feels every kind of life, praises every kind of life, and achieves every kind of life.

Just like he feels every kind of food, praises every kind of food, and achieves every kind of food.

Maybe this is that Su Shi left us the most precious spiritual wealth.

Even if "self -smuggling is busy, the career is ridiculous when he is old", occasionally feels "what you know everywhere, it should be like Fei Hongza Snow Mud", and wants "the small boat has passed from now on, Jianghai sent the rest of his life".But in the end, I still believe "who is afraid?

Then step by step in the wind and rain, "a little bit of gas, thousands of miles away."
