Su Shi's literary achievements are extremely high, and he is the representative of the highest literary achievements in the last Song Dynasty.
Su Shi showed great talent and received a good education from an early age. In two years, Song Jiayou, his younger brother Su Zhe and his father Su Xun became officials at the same time, which became a beautiful talk for a while, and people said "a three-sou".
In the sixth year of Jiayou, Su Shi was admitted to the Chinese secondary school and entered the third class, which was the "first in a hundred years" and was awarded the judge of Fengxiang House in Dali. Later, her mother died. Because she was filial and worried about her hometown, she would rather be reinstated for two years. After Su Shi was reinstated, he was excluded because he did not agree with Wang Anshi's political reform and wrote a letter of opposition. Su Shi sought to be released to the world and was transferred to Hangzhou as the chief judge.
Su Shi's life has been ups and downs, but perhaps it is because of his rich life experience that he can leave so many works.
Extended information Su Shi has high attainments in literature and poetry, and can be called the representative of the highest literary achievement in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Su Shi's creative activities are not limited to literature. He has made outstanding achievements in calligraphy, painting and other fields, and also made contributions in medicine, cooking, water conservancy and other skills. Su Shi is a typical representative of the cultural spirit in Song Dynasty.
Judging from the scope of literary history, Su Shi's significance mainly has two points: First, Su Shi's attitude towards life has become a paradigm respected by later scholars: advancing and retreating freely and being humiliated. Because Su Shi integrated the two attitudes of feudal scholars on the same value scale, he was able to keep calm and go all out.
Of course, this paradigm is more suitable for scholars who have suffered from ups and downs, and it can lead to a life of integrity and abundance, which is exactly what scholars in the past dynasties after the Song Dynasty hoped to do.
Secondly, Su Shi's aesthetic attitude provides an enlightening aesthetic paradigm for later generations. He embraces the world with a broad aesthetic vision, so everything is considerable and beauty is everywhere. This paradigm has opened up a new world for future generations in subject matter, content and expression. Therefore, it is a historical necessity that Su Shi is universally loved by later literati.
