God, Ghost and Man in Book Review Su Dongpo's Biography: There is another form of pursuit.

The virtual concept of ghosts and gods has many origins in China's 5,000-year history, and divination is one of them. If you have to give an example, I ching and I ching can also be implicated. However, it is this hazy feeling that makes people daydream and give people an illusory aesthetic feeling, which is also one of the reasons that attract me.

As Lin Yutang said, "Su Dongpo is the fire of life, because he saved water and drought all his life". Su Dongpo once prayed for rain for the local people in the Taoist temple in Taibai Mountain. But his grades were not good, and he speculated that the mountain god was still angry after he was demoted. Afterwards, he drafted a play book, applied for a job with the mountain god, and immediately read an article praying for rain to welcome the "Dragon Water". Three days later, it rained heavily. Although it is not true, it embodies Su Dongpo's spirit of having fun with the people. And Su Dongpo exorcised ghosts and fought with the wet nurse at home. Su Dongpo's deeds also made him more mythical and laid the fearless image of Su Dongpo.

In Su Dongpo's official career, he also met all kinds of people. As far as Chen Taishou is concerned, Su and Chen are at loggerheads and intrigue. From this point of view, the human heart is much more complicated and cunning than ghosts and gods. Ghosts and gods, after all, are fictional and have the taste of pursuit. Taoist thought is also in line with this principle. After death, people can "soar by day" and become immortals. Buddhism has a life cycle, and Su Dongpo also believes that people can live forever and are constantly pursuing it. However, he only succeeded in half and died laughing.

However, compared with praising Su Dongpo's courage in fighting ghosts, I appreciate the wisdom of the ancients more, which continues to this day and has certain times. People live and die, and the pursuit of immortality is always a symbol of pursuit, but it flows in our blood as a spiritual form.
