How handsome is the real Su Shi?

Every late autumn, I always think of Su Shi's "You must remember the good times of the year, the most orange and orange are green."

It is not like the withering of all things, but it is the richness and vitality right now.

Talent like Dongpo, over the past nine hundred years, he has left us with too much wisdom in life: to relieve sorrow, he said it is better to "make the most of your youth with poetry and wine"; without fear of wind and rain, he walked leisurely and leisurely, "bamboo A stick can beat a horse easily, so who is afraid?" In the face of adversity, he sang boldly, "A little awe-inspiring spirit, a thousand miles of joyful wind"!

We absorb Su Shi’s cultural charm from between the lines. At this time, we can’t help but wonder, what would such a romantic figure look like?

Use the text to outline the physical characteristics:

What did Su Shi really look like? Around this question, during the Song Dynasty and later generations, as people accepted and understood Su Shi from different perspectives, many answers were produced, either in the form of written legends or images.

Meng Zhaohan introduced that Su Shi himself and his friends had many written records about this. Su Shi once said in the poem "Baoshan Day Sleep" that "the seven-foot stubborn body walks through the world", which briefly outlines his physical characteristics.

How tall was the "seven feet" in the Song Dynasty? Converted to modern dimensions, that's nearly two meters. Su Shi had a slender figure, and his younger brother Su Che also wrote in a poem "Qi Ran Zhong Yu Shu". Qiran means to describe an upright and slender appearance.
