The last two lines enrich our association with the great saint figure Confucius, highlighting Su Shi’s mindset of living a detached life as a commoner. ..The fire in his spirit went from waning to robust, and to detached in the end, enriched with a cynical taste of self-ridicule humour. A similar scenario often appears in other artistic forms, particularly in Chinese calligraphy, where even a subtle change in style can reveal some fundamental shifts in the artist’s mental state, as calligraphy can not be disguised with colours or other properties.

This short poem reads like a short message, but it reveals interesting vibes under the lines, where you can easily sense the bright and breezy spirit of Su Shi after he finally got pardoned by the Emperor and reclaimed his voice at the Court, working in Hanlin Academy (翰林院) which was the centre of administration comprised of Song’s most prestigious people in the gentlemen’s society.
