Judging from Su Shi's poems, Su Shi's nature is bold and unconstrained, and his thoughts break through the secular world. But politically, he is conservative and opposes political reform. The reason is that in that case at that time, Su Shi felt that Wang Anshi and others' political reform was too fast and a bit rash. In his view, the reform should be gradual.
Moreover, in that reform, the main figures of conservatives, such as Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiu, were all predecessors of Su Shi, which greatly helped and supported Su Shi. Therefore, many factors led Su Shi, who was unrestrained by nature, to choose conservatives who opposed the reform.
