Su Shi can be said to have both ability and political integrity. Why is his career not smooth?

I think this topic is a good question. Everyone knows that Su Shi has both ability and political integrity, but why his official career is always unsatisfactory shows that talents like him are only suitable for art and not for official career.

Let's analyze it from two seemingly unrelated aspects: talent and ability.

Generally, people who are talented in art will have completely different views on society from those who take official careers. They are too perfect in reality, but in fact, in the real world, how can there be so much perfection and romance?

Since God has given talents, let them be used! But there is a question of where to put it. Engaging in art is a specialty, and engaging in management may not be an expert. Although history has proved that Su Shi is fully qualified for his duties, it is not impossible to serve the country. But I think if everything can be done again, he will definitely choose to engage in art instead of taking a career.

It takes talent to engage in art, and not everyone can reach the peak of art through study. It happens that Su Shi has more natural elements than ordinary people in these aspects, so he is more suitable to walk on the road of art. In this case, there may be more room for breakthrough.

Su Shi's poems and songs are of high level, and he has made great achievements in other aspects. The most talked about piece of Dongpo pork shows people the other side of his talent. In fact, he is a real person. From his life attitude to his daily life skills, he can show his unique side, which is finally used by everyone.

From an artistic point of view, Su Shi's career is definitely not as good as that of art. Frankly speaking, it is obvious that he can add flowers to the country's cotton through artistic creation, but he has chosen a more difficult career path for him. It is understandable that he is not profitable.

Taking the official career also requires the preconditions of good weather, geographical location and human harmony. For Su Dongpo, these conditions are not available at the same time, so he finally gave up officialdom and carefully focused on literary creation, which shows that he himself is aware of this problem. Fortunately, I mistakenly thought that he left many wonderful chapters for future generations.
