Show More ReviewsSu Dongpo, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, pioneered the bold and unrestrained style of ci poetry. His poems "Nian Nu Jiao: Reminiscences of Chibi" and the two "Odes to the Red Cliff," written in Huangzhou, transformed personal sorrow into a sense of cosmic vastness, achieving a pinnacle in the history of Chinese literature. He proved with his life that adversity not only tempers character but also gives birth to the greatest art. The Red Cliff of Su Dongpo in Huangzhou is worth visiting.
