Brief introduction of Su Xun: Su Xun (1May 22, 009-65438+May 2 1 0066) is a native of Meishan, Meizhou (now Meishan, Sichuan). The writers of the Northern Song Dynasty, together with their sons Su Shi and Su Zhe, are called "Three Sus", and they are all included in the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties". Su Xun was difficult to read when he was young. Because his father was alive and didn't support his family, he was a bit like Ren Xia and Zhuang You in Li Bai and Du Fu's youth and traveled widely. Later, he accompanied his son to Beijing twice, once by water and once by land, and visited places of interest along the way. The Taoist and Buddhist attractions visited in Su Xun are roughly Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain, Jade Bureau View in Chengdu, Tolin Temple and Selin Temple in Lushan Mountain, Tianzhu Temple in Ganzhou, Xiandu Taoist Temple in Fengdu and so on. Su Xun visited Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng as a teenager. He said in the poem "One Mountain Gives People Five Words and Seventy-eight Rhymes": "Teenagers like miracles, and teenagers get saddled. Looking around the world, I love the vastness of the universe. He was the first to see it, and the sun pressed Xichuan. "

At the age of 19, he married his wife Shi Cheng. At the age of 27, he was determined to study hard. After studying hard for more than ten years, he has made great progress in his studies.

During the Qing Dynasty, Su Xun went to Beijing to take the examination system, but he missed it, and he was gifted and so on. He missed it again, but he learned what he wrote, closed the door and benefited from reading, so he learned the theory of six classics and a hundred schools of thought and wrote thousands of words in an instant. Then he went south to Lushan Mountain in Luo Song, where he visited Tolin Temple and sairinji, and made friends with two monks here, Zen Master Ne and Elder Jing Fushun, for more than a month. The poem "Sending the Mountain" recorded the situation of this trip in detail: "When I entered Erlin Temple for the second time, I was told by a monk. Seek the best scenery and guide me to climb together. I am not tired of it, and Iwatani is eager to try. " Both Su Shi and Su Zhe recorded that Su Xun lived with two eminent monks in Lushan for more than a month, and "got the advice of the eminent monks". Su Zheyun said, "Master Zhe, I heard that I swam across Lushan Mountain and met Master Ne, so I stayed for a long time.

In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Jingfu, not far from Shungong, visited Ran Hui with high security. I said I had never been too clever, and I caught up with the first gentleman. Years have passed, and now it is thirty-six years. Both of them belong to my family, and it has been eleven years since I was ignorant. "Su Xun came down from Lushan Mountain and went south to Ganzhou (now Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province). In Ganzhou, Su Xun met the local hermit Zhong Ziyi and visited Mazuyan and Tianzhu Temple accompanied by them.

Probably in the early years of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Su Xun visited Zhang Yu, a hermit in Baiyun Stream, Minshan. Su Shi said in the Postscript of Zhang Baiyun's Poems: "A little fool is Zhang Yu, a gentleman in Western Shu. Traveling with Yu Xianjun at the foot of Minshan Mountain ... "Zhang Yu's deeds are recorded in Wang's" A Brief Introduction to the East ". "Zhang Yu, illiterate, fond of books, good at writing poems, ... is not worried about happiness, pure in nature, and ambitious." The court ordered him to be an official six times. "I can't afford to die and live in seclusion in Baiyun Stream, Qingcheng Mountain." According to Baiyun Stream in Qingcheng Mountain, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist scholar, lived in his later years. When Wen Yanbo ruled Shu, he arranged for Zhang Yu to live in Baiyun Stream, which was obviously the reason why Zhang Yu was particularly interested in Taoism. Su Xun made friends with him, and Taoism was probably one of his talking points.

At the beginning of Jia V (1056), Su Xun took his second son to Beijing to take the exam, and met Ouyang Xiu, a bachelor of Hanlin. Ouyang Xiu appreciated his Lun Heng, Politics and Tactics, and thought it could be compared with Liu Xiang and Jia Yi, so he recommended Su Xun to the court. Officials and scholars scrambled to tell the story of Su Xun, and Su Xun's literary title was greatly improved. During my stay in Beijing, I met Master Bao Cong. "When I was in the capital, Pengzhou monk Bao Cong came for advice and was very diligent. When I arrived in Shu, I heard that he had come back from Beijing. At first, he thought he was a disciple. He lived in Jue Yuan Hospital for a long time. "

In the year of Jia 52 (1057), the second son tied the list in the exam and caused a sensation in Beijing.

In the third year of Song Jia V, Song Renzong called Su Xun to the Scheeren Hospital to take the exam, while Su Xun refused to believe him.

In May 4th, Su Xun led his family down the Minjiang River by boat, out of the Three Gorges in the east, into Beijing by water, and visited the Taoist Temple in Fengdu Xiandu. It is said that this is the place where Yin Changsheng ascended to heaven and became immortal, and he also wrote a poem entitled "On Taoist Temple in Xiandu" to pay tribute to this immortal.

In the fifth year of Jia (1060), on the recommendation of Han Qi, Su Xun was appointed as the secretary of the provincial school, and later as the master book of Wen 'an County in Bazhou. Later, he and Yao Bi, the county magistrate of Xiangcheng (now Henan), wrote Taichang Yin Ge Rites. Shortly after Cheng Shu's death, that is, in April of the third year of Yingzong Zhiping, Wu Shen (1066 May 2 1) died, and the court posthumously awarded Su Xun as Guanglu Temple Cheng.
