Read hard

In the first year of Mingdao in the Northern Song Dynasty (1032), Su Xun's mother Shi died of illness and was buried in the ancestral tomb of Su's family in Andaoli Township, Xiuwen Township, Meishan County. Su Xun wrote to Ouyang Neihan for the first time: "Xun did not study at a young age. He was born at the age of 25 and knew how to study after traveling with a gentleman." It was too late, and at the beginning, he was not very serious. He relied on his intelligence and looked at people of his generation, and he was not smarter than himself, thinking that studying was not difficult. However, when he was the first time he took the provincial examination, he unfortunately failed. This failure made him examine himself.

, and then he read a few hundred of his old works carefully, and couldn't help but sigh, "My studies are still unsuccessful!" He angrily burned these old manuscripts and decided to take out the Analects of Confucius and Mencius, and Han Yuwen came to read them again from time to time, and continued to study the books of the various schools of thought through poetry, books, scriptures, and books, and throughout the past and present.

Mrs. Cheng gave birth to her youngest son Su Che. That year, Su Xun went to Langzhou (now Langzhong County, Sichuan) to visit her brother Su Huan, who was an official there. Seeing that his brother had good grades in managing the local area, he was quite moved. Soon he went east to Wuxia in Kuizhou and went downstream to Jingzhou (now Xiangyang County, Hubei), studying in various places, making friends with knowledgeable teachers and friends, and increasing his experiences and life experience.

In the third year of Baoyuan (1040), Su Xun had completed his hard study and knowledge after five or six years. His brother Su Huan was transferred from Kaifeng scholar Cao to serve as the magistrate of Langzhou.[2]

In that year, he left home to study and set off from Meizhou to Jiazhou, traveled to Mount Emei, and then went downstream from Wuxia in Kuizhou to Jingzhu, preparing to go to the capital. Mrs. Cheng taught Su Shi and Fan Pangzhi at home.

From the seventh year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty to the second year of Zhihe (1047 to 1055), Su Xun continued to study at home, exploring the gains and losses of ancient and modern times, and also taught Su Shi and Su Zhe to study. During the years, Su Xun's young daughter Ba Niang was abused at her uncle (father-in-law)'s house. Su Shi's cousin, Ba Niang's husband, helped and died of worries and anger.

Three Su Travel to Beijing

In the early years of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1056), Su Xun brought his two sons to Beijing to take the exam and met with the Hanlin scholar Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu admired his articles such as Heng Lun, Quan Shu, and Ji Ce, and believed that they could be compared with Liu Xiang and Jia Yi, so he recommended Su Xun to the court. The ministers and officials rushed to pass on Su Xun, and Su Xun's literary name became great. During his time in Beijing, he met Zen Master Baocong, "I was in the capital, and the monk Baocong of Pengzhou came to ask for knowledge of me very hard. When I arrived in Shu, I heard that he returned from the capital, and that common clothes and vegetables were the first to be his disciples. If it were any more than a year, I lived in Yuanjueyuan. "

Su Xun's prose is mostly debate essays. According to Wang Shuizhao's "New Selection and New Annotation of the Eight Great Books of Tang and Song Dynasties", the ratio of Su Xun's debate essays to miscellaneous essays is six to one, while the ratio of the number of words is ten to one. The former has a number of words of about 70,000 words, while the latter has only 7,000 words. The debate essays must explain the truth deeply, so that people have no room for refutation. In order to meet this requirement, Su Xun admitted his love for the Warring States Period, saying, "I take the skills, but not the heart", that is, absorb the eloquent techniques of the masters and do not learn from their character. The masters are often good at using extravagant techniques such as parallelism, parallelism, etc., to make the articles magnificent, emotional, sharp, and invincible, giving people a sense of vigorous and strong, and extremely inspiring. This characteristic is mainly reflected in general articles discussing social phenomena, historical phenomena, or articles that clarify personal opinions. [2]

Su Xun was proficient in physics and was good at cognizing change. In his thesis, his arguments were profound and thorough. The arguments he made were unseen and unseen. On the other hand, he had a high ability to control language, expressed profound truths in concise language, and made the truth clear and clear.

Su Xun's articles are fewer or more or more, but no matter how much the content of the article is, whether it is a political or military, or a classic or a history, Su Xun carefully planned the article in the structure of the article, and created neat, rigorous and varied shapes based on the objects. He was like a master of architecture, organically unified the content and form of the article, and designed buildings with different styles with ingenious styles.[2]

The language of Su Xun's articles is full of ancient and concise words and precious sentences. They are both simple and concise, vivid and vivid, with rich connotations. After reading them, they make people feel endless aftertaste. Su Xun's papers are also insightful. Su Xun advocates learning ancient Chinese and opposes the frivolous and weird current texts; he advocates that articles should be "made with action" and "written by the world"; he emphasizes that the articles should "get the heart to my heart" and write "the words in my heart". He also explores different writing styles and common requirements of different styles. He is particularly good at evaluating the style and artistic characteristics of various prose from the comparison of works. [2]
