Su Shi was a great writer in ancient times. How did he cleverly refuse marriage for his sister? What's the story behind this? Speaking of Su Shi, we all have a concept, that is, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. This is the common sense of literature that we want to take in the college entrance examination. What else is there? We also learned a lot of Su Shi's poems from textbooks. We have experienced "300 lychees grow up every day, and we are not willing to be Lingnan people". We feel the beauty of "West Lake is better than West Lake, and light makeup is always appropriate". We also understand that "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain", and we can feel the "river that is gone forever". These are all poems that we are familiar with. Su Shi left us a lot, not only his poems and songs, his paintings and calligraphy, but also the very famous Dongpo meat. More importantly, he is honest, unrestrained, upright and open-minded, which makes us far behind.

A few days ago, I went to Meishan on business and visited the long-awaited Susan Temple. The best couplet was written by Ao Wei Temple, the first magistrate and prime minister of Lianyuan in Qing Dynasty: one father and one son, three words and four books. The first part is the three sons of Su Men, Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe are all famous sayings, and the second part refers to the three sons of Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi. At that time, Ouyang Xiu, the literary leader in the Northern Song Dynasty, was the main force of Su Men, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty, so there were four famous ancient prose. Su Men's four works accounted for one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties and continued until the Ming Dynasty.

The brilliant literary achievements created by Su and his son not only occupy an extremely important position in the literary history of China, but also are unique in the literary history of China for thousands of years. In fact, in the Su family, not only his father and son, but also his brother has a high literary accomplishment. According to legend, Su Dongpo also had a younger sister, Su Xiaomei, whose name was Su Zhen in history. Su Xiaomei was smart since she was a child, and she was also a famous talented woman at that time. Although Su Shi is a literary giant, he is famous for his mastery of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the literary history of China for thousands of years. But Su Shi sometimes seems to be slightly inferior in front of this sister. For example, once, Su Dongpo and Fo Yin were sitting around in the forest. Su Dongpo likes to make fun of Fo Yin's brown robe. Instead of being angry, Fo Yin smiled and said to Su Dongpo, "You look like a Buddha statue. Su Dongpo told Su Xiaomei his joke Fo Yin at home. Su Xiaomei smiled from ear to ear and said, "Brother, you were teased by the Buddha, but you didn't know it. Buddhist scriptures say that there is your heart in your heart and your eyes in your eyes. You say Fo Yin is like cow dung, and he says you are like a Buddha. That is to say, you only have cow dung in your heart, but he has a Buddha in his heart. Su Shi felt ashamed after hearing this.

Su Xiaomei's husband was a famous doctor in imperial academy at that time, and one of the representatives of graceful and restrained school, Qin Guan and Qin Shaoyou. Why did Su Xiaomei refuse the groom to enter the bridal chamber? Su Dongpo helped the groom solve the problem. Qin Guan is one of the four bachelors in the Su family and often patronizes the Su family. One day, Qin Guan heard from Huang Tingjian that Su Jia was interested in getting engaged to his sister. Qin Guan, a successful teenager, considers himself an unsmiling scholar and attaches great importance to the appearance of his future wife. Although he knew that Su Xiaomei was a famous talented woman, women at that time were not easy to be seen, so Qin Guan didn't know what Su Xiaomei looked like, but he was embarrassed to hear that she was not good-looking.

Speaking of it, it is still Su Dongpo's pot. Su Dongpo talked with Qin Guan and others about the anecdote that he and his sister laughed at each other when they wrote poems. Su Dongpo teased Su Xiaomei that his forehead was too big and his eyes were sunken. He wrote a poem: three or five steps in front of the hall, his forehead has reached the front of the painting hall; Tears several times, it is difficult to give up Wang Erquan. Seeing Su Dongpo's flat forehead, slightly long face and deep eyes, she immediately wrote a poem. "There are three thousand lines in the road, and I want to wear two eyebrows. Last year, a tear of Sophora japonica has not reached my ears.

Su Dongpo was just joking, but I didn't expect Qin Guan to write it in my heart, thinking that Su Xiaomei must be skinny and ugly. So she listened to Huang Tingjian and betrothed Su Xiaomei to herself, which makes it difficult now. I don't want my future wife to be ugly, but I can't refuse, for fear of refuting Su Dongpo's face.
