First, Su Xun's adopted son

Su Shi and Su Zhe, two children of Su Xun, a great essayist in the Northern Song Dynasty, were very naughty when they were young. After repeated persuasion, Su Xun decided to change the way of education. From then on, whenever the children played, he deliberately hid in the corner to read, and when the children came, he deliberately "hid" the books. Su Shi and Su Zhe are both curious and think that their father must have something good to hide from them.

Out of strong curiosity, the two "stole" the book while their father was away and read it carefully. From then on, they gradually developed the habit of reading, truly felt the endless fun of reading, and eventually became a generation of famous artists.

Second, Su Dongpo loves to plant trees.

Su Shi liked planting trees since he was a child: "When I was a teenager, I planted trees all over Songshan. At first, I moved my roots one inch, which was as trivial as transplanting rice." "30,000 plants" is an exaggerated rhetoric, but it is enough to express love. "So, pines and cypresses are planted artificially. When are you going to arch? " The mountains are full of pines and cypresses, which are entrusted with Su Shi's homesickness.

Fengxiang, Shaanxi. Su Shi built and expanded a drinking pool in the east of the city, and planted slender willows, lotus roots and pavilions. "East Lake Willow" has become one of the "eight scenic spots in Guanzhong".

Wutai case, exile in Huangzhou. Su Shi cultivated land in Dongpo, the county seat, called Dongpo. Build a hut called "Tang Xue". He planted willow, mulberry, jujube and chestnut himself. Although Tang Xue is very humble, there are many guests. Liu Xia is a horse, and the friendship between gentlemen lies in knowing each other. Su Shi gained sincere friendship outside the temple.

During his tenure in Hangzhou, Su Shi dredged the West Lake and built the Su Causeway, "planting hibiscus willows on it in a picturesque way". Xiao Chun, Su Causeway, is one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. In February, Su Causeway Road added beautiful scenery, with green trees and peach blossoms.

Demoted to Huizhou, "300 lychees a day, do not hesitate to be a Lingnan person." Su Shi built a house on the top of Baihe Mountain, and entrusted his friends to provide him with orange, orange, grapefruit, litchi, bayberry, loquat, pine and cypress and other fruit trees to plant around his new home. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the miasma in Lingnan was pervasive, the environment was harsh, the trees were dense, and the fruit was fragrant, which created a poetic pastoral life for him.

Su Shi called himself "Dongpo lay man". Poems written by Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty. After Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, he often planted flowers and trees in his spare time and wrote many lyric poems, many of which were Dongpo.

"Buy a flower tree with money and plant it on the east slope of the city." "When Dongpo came in spring, where did the trees come today?" "On dongpo, dongpo in the evening. What does Dongpo love? Love this new tree. " "Where is hard-working? Dongpo Taoli is newly planted. " Su Shi admired Bai Juyi and appreciated each other. He likes planting trees because he is named Dongpo. He not only planted trees, but also encouraged himself to have a "happy and relaxed life" mentality.

Third, Su Zhe's anecdotes

Zhang's evaluation of the Su Zhe brothers? Su Xun took Su Shi and Su Zhe to visit Zhang. Zhang was surprised after talking with the two brothers. The next day they were given six questions, and they secretly peeped at their reaction from the wall.

After they get the question, they think separately. Su Zhe had some doubts about the meaning of a certain question, and secretly pointed to the topic and asked his brother for instructions. Su Shi did not answer either. He picked up a pen and knocked on the low table, suggesting the words "pipe note", but Su Zhe was dubious. Pointing to the next topic, Su Shi took a pen and crossed the topic, and immediately drafted an article.

When he came out and handed the paper to Zhang, Zhang was even happier after reading his article. However, there was no source of the problem, but he deliberately tried to test the trap of the two brothers' learning. The next day, Zhang met Su Xun and told him, "Both sons are geniuses. Great intelligence and agility are particularly pleasing; However, my brother's heart is heavy and his achievements may exceed his brother's. "
