Brief introduction of Su Xun.

Su Xun (1009- 1066) was born in Meishan, Meizhou in the Northern Song Dynasty. Su Xun and his two sons, Su Shi and Su Zhe, also known as the "Three Sus", were initially listed among the "80 ancient prose schools in Tang and Song Dynasties". Su Xun was twenty-seven years old and began to study hard. He repeatedly quoted scholars' indiscretions, burned daily articles in a rage, and painstakingly studied the Six Classics (The Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, Yijing, Chunqiu and Jing Yue, now lost) and a hundred schools of thought. During Jiayou's reign, he took his eldest son Shi and his second son Zhe from Sichuan to Bianjing (Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty) to take the exam. Deeply appreciated by Ouyang Xiu (the author of Zuiwengting Ji), he published 22 articles in the imperial court, and the articles became famous all over the world. Since then, he has served as the secretary of the provincial school book lang and the main book of Wen' an County, Bazhou. And Jia's masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Su Xun formed his own style by studying the argumentative essays of Mencius and Han Yu. Good at political theory and historical theory, like to talk about military strategy and contingency. The pen is bold and vigorous, and the words are concise and dignified, which is very imposing in the Warring States period. Ouyang Xiu praised his article and said: Even Jia Yi and Liu Xiang in Han Dynasty were not as good as them, which shows Euclid's admiration for Su Xun. Su Xun was not easy to learn when he was a child and became famous very late. He didn't start studying until he was 27. In the first year of Jiayou (1056), I visited Ouyang Xiu in Bianjing. Ouyang Xiu appreciated the article, and thought that Jia Yi and Liu Xiang were not enough, but the literati struggled for a while, so their literary fame flourished. However, in the third year of Jiayou (1058), when Song Renzong asked him to take the exam, he refused to get sick. For five years (1060), Jia You served as the secretary of the provincial school, and later as the principal book of Wen 'an County, Bazhou. He also ordered fellow initiates to practice one hundred volumes of Taichang Yin Ge Calendar with Yao Bi. He died of illness soon after the book was finished. Su Xun's articles mainly discuss politics with history, inheriting the argumentative tradition of Mencius and Han Yu, with clear arguments and strong arguments. Ouyang Xiu praised him for his "excellent eloquence" and said that "going up and down, fast forward and fast out, must be built in depth and then stop" ("Epitaph of the Soviet Union in the Lord's Book of Wen 'an County, Bazhou"); But sometimes there is an air of sophistry and pedantry, which is its shortcoming. Su Xun also evaluated himself as "the poet's softness, the poet's simplicity, the softness of Meng and Han, the move and merger, and the simplicity of Sun and Wu" in "Going to the Field with Dense Density". Su Xun doesn't write many poems, but he is good at writing five ancient poems, which are quite simple and vigorous. Prose works include Six Kingdoms, Mind Studies, Several Strategies, Politics, Traitor Discrimination, Balance, Six Classics, and later generations have fifteen volumes of Jiayouji.

Su Xun was an essayist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was also called "Three Sus" with his sons Su Shi and Su Zhe, and both of them were listed as "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties". The word Ming Yun is called Lao Quan. Meizhou Meishan (now Sichuan) people. It is said that I didn't study until I was 27. After studying hard behind closed doors for more than ten years, I have made great progress in my studies. In the first year of Injong Jiayou (1056), Su Shi and Su Zhe were introduced to Bianjing, and Ouyang Xiu, a bachelor of Hanlin, was called. Ouyang Xiu appreciated his works, such as Power, Balance and Several Strategies, and thought that they could be compared with Jia Yi and Liu Xiang, so he recommended them to the court. At that time, officials and scholars rushed to tell stories, and the literary name flourished. In the third year of Jiayou, Renzong called him to Scheeren Hospital to take the exam, but he refused to reply on the grounds of illness. In five years, Jia You was appointed as the secretary of the provincial school bookkeeper. Later, he and Yao Bi, the county magistrate of Xiangcheng (now Henan) in Chen Zhou, wrote the book Taichang Yin Ge Rites. Soon after writing, he died and was posthumously awarded as Guanglu Temple Cheng. Su Xun is a man with political ambitions. He said that the main purpose of his composition is to "speak the important words of the moment" and "apply them to the present". In some important argumentative papers, such as Lun Heng and Shang Shu, he put forward a set of ideas of political innovation. He believes that to govern the country well, it is necessary to "assess the situation" and "smooth the situation." He advocated "respecting prestige", strengthening official management, breaking the laziness, inspiring the enterprising spirit of the people all over the world and revitalizing the Song Dynasty. Because Su Xun has a good understanding of social reality, is good at summing up historical experience and lessons, and takes history as a mirror, although his political essays inevitably have some pedantic and biased views, many of his views are still to the point. Ceng Gong said that Su Xun "likes to call a spade a spade very much". Su Xun's works 10, Politics, Counting the Enemy with Several Strategies, Military Commanders and Military System in the Theory of Balance of Power, Visiting Secret Books, Making Enemies and Visiting the Emperor, etc. all discuss military issues. In the famous Six Kingdoms, he believed that the downfall of the Six Kingdoms was to bribe the State of Qin. In fact, it is a mockery of the past and accuses the humiliating policy of the Song Dynasty. The investigation of the enemy further reveals that the essence of this policy of bribing the enemy is to cripple the people. The Military System puts forward the idea of reforming the military system, restoring military morality and credibility. The Bill of Rights systematically studies the strategic and tactical issues. In Ji Xiang, he pointed out the strategic mistake that Ji Xiang could not attack Xianyang. He also emphasized the strategic and tactical principles of avoiding reality, attacking the weak with strong force, making good use of surprise soldiers, suspecting soldiers, making a quick decision and winning by surprise. Su Xun's lyric prose is not much, but there are also many wonderful chapters. In "Sending a Stone to the North", he hoped that Shi, a friend of Qidan, would not be afraid of * * *, underestimate his enemy and write with momentum. The Portrait of Zhang Yizhou describes Zhang's deeds of governing Yizhou, and creates an image of a feudal official who is lenient and loves the people. The Story of Murockery expresses feelings through things and praises a spirit of self-reliance and integrity. Su Xun's prose has distinct arguments, strong arguments, sharp language and strong persuasiveness. Ouyang Xiu praised him for his "excellent eloquence" and said that "going up and down, fast forward and fast out, must be built in depth and then stop" ("Epitaph of the Soviet Union in the Lord's Book of Wen 'an County, Bazhou"); Ceng Gong also commented on his articles "Analyzing by Pointing to Things, Taking Introductions as Metaphors" and "If you are bored, you can stop flowing" (Su Mingyun's "Mourning"). The artistic style is magnificent and varied. Some articles are also good at twists and turns. Su Xun also commented on his writing style as "poet's softness, poet's purity, Meng Han's softness, moving and merging, and Sun Wu's simplicity". The language of his article is concise, concise and meaningful; However, he can sometimes elaborate and compare them, and he is especially good at making vivid and wonderful metaphors. For example, Fu Ziwen Shuo, a Zhong Xiong, uses geomantic omen as a metaphor to describe a natural text, which is an example. Su Xun's paper is also full of penetrating insights. He opposed flashy and weird prose and advocated learning ancient Chinese. Emphasize that articles should be "sincerely convinced" and write "from the heart"; It is advocated that articles should be "written for something" and "words must be in the present". He also discussed different styles of * * * and different writing methods. He is especially good at evaluating the styles and artistic features of various essays from comparison. For example, Shang Yang's comments on Mencius, Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu in the first book of Inner Korea are very accurate. Su Xun doesn't write many poems, but he is good at writing five ancient poems, which are simple and vigorous. Ye Mengde, a poet in the Song Dynasty, commented that his poems were "profound and tasteful, and the words were like their prose" (Shi Lin Shi Hua). His two poems by Ouyang Yongshu, White Rabbit, Seeing the Mountain off, Yan Shu, Answering Two Covenants and Waiting for Wu, are excellent, but their overall achievements are far less than those of prose. Su Xun's works were popular in various versions in the Song Dynasty, and most of them had been lost. Today, there is a remnant of the Collected Works of Lao Su in the Northern Song Dynasty. The popular books are four series, Ying Song Chao Ben, Jia You Ji, volume 15.
