w88 casino News Network (Library feed)On the afternoon of April 11, 2024, the second w88 casino "Cultural Time Travel Season" Song Dynasty w88 humanities lecture series: From "like a letter" to "like a dream" - the life wisdom of Su Shi's poems was successfully held in the 109 multi-functional hall of the library. This event was co-sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee, the library, and the w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literature. Teacher Han Xiao from the w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literature was the speaker, and teacher Lu Lin from the library’s circulation reading department was hosted.

At the beginning of the lecture, Teacher Han Xiao analyzed the six factors that made Su Shi known as "the first person in the two Song Dynasties" based on the background of Su Shi's era and his life: benevolent political thoughts, awareness of worries, rough experiences, broad-minded life, literary origins and diverse arts, etc., which is the theme of this lecture.
Teacher Han Xiao introduced us to stories such as Su Shi’s childhood study life, his journey to participate in scientific examinations, and his brother’s separation, to elicit Su Shi’s “like sending” attitude towards life in the first stage and explain its connotation: Compared with the infinity of the universe, individuals are as small and weak as a mayfly between heaven and earth. After Su Shi was imprisoned, he changed his attitude towards life. While traveling in Red Cliff, he sighed, "Life is like a dream, and a statue is like a moon in the river." This is also the "dream-like" attitude towards life in the second stage. Teacher Han Xiao interpreted Su Shi's attitude change from "life is like a mail" to "life is like a dream" because he still takes life seriously after recognizing the reality and takes it calmly.

Throughout Su Shi's life, when he first entered his official career, he thought deeply about "what is life like everywhere, it should be like a flying dragon walking on slush". After leaving Beijing, he still sang, "Let's try new fires and new teas, poetry and wine take advantage of the years." Teacher Han Xiao narrated the ups and downs of Su Shi's life in humorous language. Combining the poems written by Su Shi at different stages of his life, he led readers to explore Su Shi's life attitude and philosophy contained in each poem, allowing the readers present to have a deeper understanding and appreciation of Su Shi's poems. .
In the question and answer session at the end of the lecture, Teacher Han Xiao carefully and comprehensively answered the students’ doubts. Combining Su Shi’s personal life and the life experiences of his classmates, he used the past to discuss the present, broadening readers’ reading horizons and thinking perspectives, and drawing a successful conclusion to this lecture with both literary value and philosophical thinking.
