Reader comments
After Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty, another great man made me cry! Mr. Dongpo's poetry, calligraphy and painting are truly God-given and cannot be copied. What is even more rare is that Mr. Dongpo cares about the people. Wherever he goes, as long as he can, he will definitely benefit one. The reason why he is out of place is because of his integrity. In short, Su Shi is a dazzling star in Chinese history, shining through the ages!
This book has rich historical materials and fair evaluation. This is one of the best books on Su Shi!
It is well written. It not only introduces Su Dongpo's life, but also appreciates his poetry, calligraphy and painting. Finally, he also learns about the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is very rewarding.
A great scholar who is admired by all generations, although he does not have a high official position and a generous salary, he will truly remain in history forever.
It would be better to write more details about Mr. Su's life
This book gave me a more comprehensive understanding of Su Dongpo. It turned out that he was not only a literary giant, but also a versatile person! Just like when I was looking for a job after graduation, Su Dongpo also experienced many ups and downs in his career, but he always maintained a positive attitude towards life. This spirit is worth learning from me. I especially like the "Han Shi Tie" he wrote when he was in Huangzhou. I feel like I can feel his mood at that time between the lines. This book is really good, recommended!
The key points are highlighted, the context is clear, the historical facts are accurate, and the writing is beautiful!
The short story is very good and the writing is also refined.
