Su Shi Su Dongpo was a gifted scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, with high attainments in poetry, writing, calligraphy and painting. Every time his works came out, they were warmly welcomed by the world and influenced generations of literati. However, this was after Su Shi became famous. Before Su Shi became famous, like other students, he had to take the imperial examination. As a talented schoolmaster, his saddest reminder is that he won a championship for Ouyang Xiukeng.
Su Shi's Su Jia is a family heirloom of poetry and books. When his father Su Xun was young and frivolous, he liked playing rather than reading. But after Su Shi was born, Su Xun began to study hard-probably he knew that if he wanted to be like his children, he had to be like this first. Setting an example is really the best way to educate. Not only were both sons well educated, but they also learned something. So the father and son went to Beijing to catch the exam together.
Su Shi, his father Su Xun and his brother Su Che, with good income, left their hometown in Meishan, Sichuan. Along the way, the father and son spent a year in Beijing to catch the exam. Su Shi, a young man who denounced Fang Qiu, was in high spirits. Before the exam, he said to his younger brother Su Che, "Brother, your brother and I are the first to make a decision." .
Indeed, Su Shi, a talented man, wrote with the help of God in the face of the examination questions of "Theory of Criminal Loyalty". Although the full text is only over 600 words, Ouyang Xiu, the examiner of literary leaders at that time, was amazed. Ouyang Xiu, as a literary leader at that time, was also bursting with confidence. He felt that only his disciple Ceng Gong could write such an extraordinary article, and the rest were scum. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion and for his good reputation, Ouyang Xiu naturally and self-righteous rated this test paper as second. In this way, the talented Su Shi and his champion missed.
