On Su Shi's Philosophical Thoughts in The First Ode to the Red Cliff from Madhyamaka Philosophy
The First Ode to the Red Cliff not only flows with the carefree and indulgent philosophy of Zhuangzi but also encompasses Confucian thoughts,with the essence of Buddhism revealed.As the core and turning point of the prose,"Water Moon Metaphor"is infused with the doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism,revealing Su Shi's internalization and application of the Prajna of Madhyamaka.Its underlying thought corresponds to Seng Zhao's theory of"Wu Bu Qian"(objects do not move),where,under the contemplation of Madhyamaka thinking that seeks tranquility in motion,Su Shi merged the two into one,tran-scending"impermanence"with"unchangeability".Within Su Shi's philosophical system,he reconciled Confucianism and Taoism with the philosophical thinking of Madhyamaka philosophy,showing an aesthetic life attitude of"life is short"and a broad and broad-minded philosophy of life.
