Inside Story

This was a piece of work completed by Su Shih at his later period. Spring of Tung-Ting was a wine made from yellow tangerines and it was given by the son of the county governor to Tungpo. He was very fond of it, thus he wrote this poem for the wine and talked about the joys of seeing beautiful scenery, making and drinking wine and how he felt life was just like a dream.
