Abstract
Su Shi's Lingnan experience provides a productive perspective for understanding his life consciousness. Over time, his optimistic spirit has been a source of influence upon people. Through an examination of his Lingnan experience along with an analysis of his related poems and prose, this study, employing a literary criticism approach, reveals that Su Shi utilized his writings not only to express his attitude toward the challenges of fate, the beauty of the natural landscape, and the intricacies of the world but also to convey a deeper, more fundamental life consciousness. Su Shi navigated through the tapestry of everyday life, constantly ascending to the core of existence. The adaptable, harmonious, and transcendent philosophy of life embedded in his Lingnan encounter ultimately elevated his literary charm and ideological realm.
