I. Introduction

In Chinese history, the Wutai Poetry Case is a famous literary case. In this case, Su Shi was convicted of "speaking falsely" for a poem and was eventually exiled to Huangzhou. So, what was the reason for Su Shi's exile to Huangzhou due to the Wutai Poetry Case? This article will introduce it to you.

II. Case Background

In the Wutai Poetry Case, both Su Shi and Wang Anshi were politicians and writers at that time. There was both competition and cooperation between them. In this trial, Su Shi was convicted of "speaking falsely" for a poem and was eventually exiled to Huangzhou. The poem was "Jiangchengzi".

III. Poetry Content

"Jiangchengzi" takes the scenery of Jiangnan as the background, depicting the poet's nostalgia for his hometown and family. Among them, the sentence "Life is like a dream, one glass returns to sacrifice the river moon" became the key evidence of the Wutai Poetry Case. This sentence was believed to be Su Shi's satire and criticism of the political situation at that time.

IV. Reason for Exile

Because the sentence "Life is like a dream, one glass returns to sacrifice the river moon" in "Jiangchengzi" was believed to be satire and criticism of the political situation at that time, Su Shi was finally convicted of "speaking falsely". He was exiled to Huangzhou, a remote place far away from the capital with very difficult living conditions. Here, Su Shi spent the rest of his life and wrote many heartfelt poems, which became classic works in the history of Chinese literature.

V. Conclusion

The reason why Su Shi was exiled to Huangzhou due to the Wutai Poetry Case was that his poem was believed to be satire and criticism of the political situation at that time. Although he was eventually exiled to a remote place, he did not give up his literary creation and ideological pursuit.
