Su Shi introduced as follows:
Su Shi (1037—11year) was born in Meishan, Meizhou (now Meishan City, Sichuan Province), and his ancestral home was Luancheng, Hebei Province.
Su Shi's experience is as follows:
With Ouyang Xiu's repeated praise, Su Shi became famous for a while. Every time he publishes a new book, it will spread all over Beijing immediately. Just as the father and son became famous in Beijing and were about to show their talents, the bad news of the death of Su Shi and Su Zhe's mother suddenly came. The two brothers went home with their father to attend the funeral. In October of the 4th year of Jiayou (1059), the mourning period expired.
In the sixth year of Jiayou (106 1 year), under the recommendation of Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi's brothers took the system examination named "A man of moral integrity can speak out and criticize the extreme". In September, Su Shi's countermeasures were rated as third-class (nominally first-class second-class, but actually first-class third-class). Before the Song Dynasty, only one Wu Yuzhong in this discipline had the third-class merit, so Su Shi's third-class merit was called "the first in a hundred years".
Su Shi's second term in Hangzhou is as follows:
Yuan You four years (1089), Su Shi holds a bachelor's degree in Longtuge, knowing Hangzhou. Su Shi went to Hangzhou as an official for the second time, and the drought and famine and plague occurred together in Hangzhou. Su Shi asked the court to reduce the rice supplied on the road by one third, and was ordered to give it to the shaved monk in exchange for rice to help the hungry.
In the fifth spring of Yuan You (1090), he sold the regular square meters at a reduced price, made a lot of thick porridge and soup, and sent people with doctors to treat people in different neighborhoods, saving many people. Su Shi said: In Hangzhou, where land and water meet, plague often kills more people than in other places.
So he concentrated an extra 2000 yuan of public funds. Su Shi took out 520 taels of his own gold, opened a sick shop and saved a little money to treat the sick. Su Shi saw that there was a river in Maoshan that could hold the tide of Qiantang River and a river in Yanqiao that could hold the water of West Lake, so he dredged the two rivers for navigation.
