The Influence of Qi Culture on Su Shi's Works Written in his Official Time in Mizhou
From the seventh year of Xining(1074)to the ninth year of Xining(1076),Su Shi served in Mizhou as a senior official.The rich,profound,and splendid Qi culture of Mizhou had a huge impact on Su Shi's literary creation during his tenure there.The pioneering innovation of Qi culture caused a significant transformation in Su Shi's ci(lyric)style,with his gentle lyrics being deeply affectionate and solemn,and his bold ones refreshingly new to the world.The worship of military matters and achievements in Qi culture gave birth to Su Shi's creation of hunting poems and lyrics,and his famous poem Jiangchengzi-Hunt-ing in Mizhou came out.The diverse integration of Qi culture promoted Su Shi's philosophical thoughts during his time in Mizhou,where his broad-minded and self-contented transcendent thoughts developed into maturity,as evidenced by another fa-mous works named The Record of the Pavilion Named Transcendence.Thus,it can be found that Mizhou is an important geo-graphical unit that cannot be overlooked in Su Shi's official experiences,and Qi culture is a phase culture that marks the process of Su Shi's literary construction.
