Su Shi, we are all familiar with him. He was a famous litterateur in the Northern Song Dynasty and one of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties". Su Shi's life is full of legends, and his experiences are diverse and bumpy, like a heavy history book.
Su Shi became famous very early, and his talent was revealed when he took the imperial examination for the first time at the age of 21. Ouyang Xiu praised his article. But his career is really not smooth. Perhaps this is the arrangement of fate, and the unsatisfactory official career has made him a generation of writers.
We know that Su Shi was demoted many times in his life, but it should be noted that Su Shi was not demoted to Mizhou. Su Shi's continuous demotion began with Wutai poetry case, this time before Wutai poetry case. During this period, Su Shi worked in a local office because he was the one who opposed Wang Anshi's political reform. Especially his Bole Ouyang Xiu, because Wang Anshi's new school was dissatisfied with their reform, simply refused to go to court and volunteered to be transferred to other places. So Su Shi asked to leave Beijing to work abroad. To a certain extent, Su Shi's local experience in this period was "acquired" by himself.
Su Shi is an official outside, and his political achievements are outstanding. After he took office in Huzhou, he wrote "Huzhou Thank Table" to the emperor, which contained many personal feelings, so to speak, nothing, but the new school people clung to the content. Call him "foolish and arrogant", call him "resentful", "falsely occupy", "have ulterior motives", satirize the court, be reckless and rude, and be disloyal to the emperor. Such a big crime can be said to deserve to die. Later, he was impeached by Yushitai and was demoted. From Huangzhou to Ruzhou, Yingzhou and Yangzhou to the last Danzhou.
Therefore, after all, Su Shi was relegated because of political struggles and different ideas, and was suppressed and excluded by political enemies.
