Su Shi, Zi Zizhan, is from Meishan, Meizhou. Ten years later, my father traveled around the world and my mother Shicheng gave me a book. Cheng read the biography of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was greatly relieved. Shi asked, "If Shi is Pang, will my mother allow it?" Shi Cheng said, "Can you be an evil mother?" It is better than a thousand words in the history of Guan Jing. After reading Zhuangzi, Lu Zhi of Jia Yi sighed, I have seen it in the past, but I can't say it today. It's my heart to read books for two years, so I tried the etiquette department. Fang's singular defect won, and Ouyang, the main manager, can save it. He got the book On Punishment and Loyalty, which was a surprise. He wanted to be crowned a scholar, and hesitated about what his guest Ceng Gong did, but put it in the second place, and then put Spring and Autumn Annals in the first place. Gongkao level 2 b department. Later I saw the restoration with a book. May Yu Sheng said, "I should avoid this person and go out." People who hear it never tire of listening, but they believe it for a long time.

Move to Xuzhou. The river decides Cao Zhai, floods the water margin, overflows the South Qinghe River, and meets at the city gate. Cities rise and fall, and the rich try their best to avoid water. Shi said, "If the people waver, who will keep it?" ? I am here, and water can never defeat the city. "Drive back. When Shi Yi arrived in Wu, he called someone to say, "The river will harm the city, which is urgent. Although the army is forbidden, you must do your best for me. " The commander of the pawn said, "I am too cautious to scribble, my little man, so be my servant." "Its rate with the cup to go out, build southeast long beach, it rains day and night, the city is not heavy. Shi Lu lived above, but not at home, so that officials blocked him and he died in the whole city. In the early days, when ancestors were around, officers worked for a long time. Wang Anshi became a god and was exempted from service. As a relative, Sima Guang knows the harm of exemption, but he doesn't know its benefits. He wanted to return to service and said, "Service and exemption have their own advantages. The harm of exemption, the people are in dire straits and lack of money from top to bottom. The harm of the official, the people are always in the official, not specialized in agriculture, corrupt officials are treacherous. These two hazards are more serious, and the cover is slightly wait. " The chopping block disagreed. Chen Shi is also in the government hall. He is very angry. Shi said, "In the past, the Duke of Han and Wei stabbed Shaanxi and went forward bravely. The Duke was a remonstrator and used his troops fiercely. Han Gong was unhappy and ignored it. I heard that the past was fair and detailed. Why not take a picture today and forbid me to say everything? "Just laugh it off.

Jianzhong died in Changzhou during the reign of Jing Guoyuan at the age of 66.

A teacher is different from a younger brother. A teacher is a writer, and he gets it from heaven. Although you scold with a smile, you can recite it on the book. It is full of light and outstanding from generation to generation. Since there is an article, the cover is also rare. From the adopted son to the attendants, we should be loyal to the rules and regulations, and the ministers are second to none in quite a big festival. But for the villain, avoid evil and crowd out, so as not to be above the court.

Translation:

Su Shi was born in Meishan, Meizhou (now meishan county, Sichuan). When Su Shi was ten years old, his father Su Xun went abroad to study, and his mother Cheng personally taught Su Shi to read. Cheng couldn't help sighing when he read Biography of Fan Pang in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Su Shi asked his mother: "If Su Shi wants to be like Fan Pang (a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a rich word, he was pregnant with the ambition to clarify the world when he was a teenager), will his mother allow it?" Cheng said, "You can be like that, can't I be like your mother?" By the age of 20, Su Shi was knowledgeable, familiar with classics and history and wrote thousands of articles every day. He likes the collected works of Jia Yi (an outstanding politician, thinker and writer in the early Han Dynasty) and Lu Zhi (one of the sages in the Tang Dynasty). Soon after, when he read Zhuangzi, he sighed, "I had this idea before, but I just couldn't say it in my mouth. Now I see what is written in this book, just like what I think! " In the second year of Jiayou (1057), he took part in the imperial examination of the Ministry of Rites. At that time, the articles were fragmented and strange, and the shortcomings were very serious. Ouyang revised and thought about what methods can be used to treat this disease. When he got Su Shi's article "On Punishment and Loyalty", he was overjoyed and wanted to be the first, but he suspected that it might have been written by his student Ceng Gong, so he only got the second place in the end, but he won the first place with the help of Chunqiu. After taking the court exam and passing Grade B, Su Shi went to see Ouyang Xiu with a letter. Ouyang Xiu said to Mei (a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty), "My article is much worse than this person!" The first time I heard this sentence from Ouyang Xiu, everyone thought it was Ouyang Xiu's exaggeration and unconvinced. It was a long time before everyone really believed Ouyang Xiu's words.

(Su Shi) was transferred to Xuzhou (now Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province). The Yellow River burst in this place-Caocun, flooded in Liangshanpo and Nanqinghe, and finally the flood gathered at the gates of Xuzhou. If the soaring flood is not diverted in time, Xuzhou city will be destroyed by the flood, and the rich households in the city will rush out of the city to avoid the flood. Su Shi said, "When the rich go out of the city, Shu Ren wavers. Who am I going to guard this city with? " When I am here, I will never allow the flood to endanger the city. "As a result, the rich people who fled the city ran back to the city. Su Shi inspected the troops guarding Xuzhou City and called out the leader of the soldiers. He said, "The Yellow River will endanger Xuzhou City, and the situation is very urgent. Even if you are forbidden, you should obey my orders and work for me. " The leader of the soldiers said, "you are the prefect, but you still don't avoid floods and sludge." We are all villains and should serve you. "So, he led his men out of the barracks with cups and bells and built the southeast causeway. It rained for a day and a night, but only three versions of the city wall were not flooded. Su Shi spent the night on the city wall and passed by the house without going in. He asked officials at all levels to block their respective defensive places, and finally saved Xuzhou City.

At the beginning, Song Taizu implemented the officer system, which took a long time and produced disadvantages. When Wang Anshi was appointed Prime Minister of Song Shenzong, he changed to the system of exemption from service. As a prime minister, Sima Guang knew the harm of exemption from service, but he didn't know its benefits and wanted to restore the service system. Su Shi said: "The exemption system has its own advantages and disadvantages. The harm of exemption is that officials gather people's wealth, money gathers the court, and people make money scarce. The harm of officers lies in serving the people for a long time and being unable to concentrate on farming. At this time, those greedy and cunning officials took the opportunity to do something illegal. The degree of these two kinds of injuries is probably equivalent. " Sima Guang doesn't think Su Shi is right. Su Shi also stated his views in the government affairs hall, and Sima Guang was very angry. Su Shi said: "In those days, Prime Minister Han (referring to Han Qi who assisted san huang in the Song Dynasty) told the volunteers in Shaanxi. You were an exhorter at that time, and you wanted to argue with him, but Han Palace was unhappy and you ignored it. Su Shi has heard you talk about this in detail before. You became prime minister today, won't you allow me to finish? " Sima Guang laughed after hearing this.

In Zhong Jian Guo Jingyuan (11), Su Shi died in Changzhou (now Changzhou, Jiangsu) at the age of 66.

Su Shi and his younger brother Su Zhe studied articles with their father Su Xun, and later benefited from their talents. Lian Xiao's swearing words can be read as articles. His articles are profound, rich in content and brilliant, and have dominated the world for hundreds of generations. Since the article came into being, it is probably rare.

Since Su Shi has been a juror, he must love the monarch, be honest and honest, and have fearless moral integrity, far above all the ministers. It's just that he was pushed out by the little people's jealousy and could not work in the court with peace of mind.
