Early experience:
Su Shi, following Su Weidao, a minister in the early Tang Dynasty, was born in Meishan, Yumeiren, on December 19th (1037 65438+ October 8th) in Jingshou three years. Su Shi's father, Su Xun, is what Saint Amethyst called "Su Laoquan".
Su Shi's name "Stone" originally meant the handrail in front of the car, which means it is indispensable to help the needy. In the eighth year of Li Qing (1048), Su Xun studied behind closed doors because of his father's death, and passed on his knowledge and conduct to Su Shi and his youngest son Su Zhe.
Take the exam in Beijing:
In the first year of Jiayou (1056), Su Shi left Sichuan for Beijing for the first time to take the imperial examination. Su Xun took 21-year-old Su Shi and 19-year-old Su Zhe with him, and went down the river from the remote area of West Shu to the second year of Jiayou in the east (1057) to take the exam in Beijing.
The title of that year's exam was "On Loyalty in Punishment". Su Shi's strategy was appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, the examiner at that time, and Mei, the later examiner. Su Shi wrote in his article: "Hao Tao is a scholar and can kill people. Said to kill the third, Yao said to kill the third. " Ou and Mei didn't know the source of this sentence, so they dropped him from the first to the second (Ouyang Xiu mistakenly thought that his disciples did it, so he had to take the second place to avoid suspicion).
After the list was published, Su Shi thanked him, and Mei asked Su Shi the source of this sentence. Su Shi replied that it was an annotation in the Biography of Kong Rong, but Ouyang Xiu went back to check it and couldn't find it. Su Shi said that he took Kong Rong for granted. Ouyang Xiu could not help admiring Su Shi's heroism and foreseeing his future: "This man is good at reading and using books, and his articles will be extinct in the world in the future."
