Reflections on Su Dongpo's Dingzhou Story

Su Dongpo visited Dingzhou people frequently. One day, he visited the villages of Su Quan, Xipo, Daxizhang and Zhang Xiaoxi in the north of Dingzhou, and found that these places were low-lying, with swamps and fertile soil. So he thought of Meishan, Sichuan, where his hometown is rich in rice. If the rice from the south is transported to the north, Dingzhou will become a fertile land. Therefore, he instructed a special person to transport rice seeds to the south, and personally taught farmers the techniques of rice transplanting, cultivation and management, so that the former wasteland opened up a rice field with beautiful rice and fragrant rice.

Su Dongpo not only encouraged farmers to improve soil and control wasteland in Dingzhou, but also planted trees extensively. He likes the big locust tree in the north very much. This kind of tree is very strong and luxuriant. In summer, yellow flowers are fragrant and pleasant, and they are cold-resistant and snow-resistant. Su Dongpo once planted two trees in his "Xuelangzhai" yard in Dingzhou. Although this tree has gone through thousands of years, it has flourished so far, and the lateral branches of the east tree extend to both sides, like a phoenix spreading its wings; The trees in the west are tall and straight, swimming in the sky like a dragon, hence the name "Dragon" and "Dancing Phoenix", which has become a major landscape of Dingzhou City today. Now, after thousands of years of wind and rain, "dragon" has been "like a dragon" and "dancing like a phoenix" There is also the "Longjing" dug under the tree, just to install pulleys on the branches.

Feelings: geese leave their voices and people leave their names; Be an official and benefit one party. Wherever Su Dongpo went, his words and deeds were consistent, and he insisted on his own opinions, which made future generations admire him. What he did in Dingzhou, in today's words, was to do everything possible to reduce the burden on the people and oppose formalism. There are only two sentences to say, but it is more difficult to do. These three things are the epitome of Su Dongpo's being an official and a valuable spiritual legacy he left to Dingzhou people.
