Vigorous writing style - Su Xun
Su Xun, courtesy name Mingyun, nicknamed Laoquan, was from Meishan, Meizhou (now Meishan, Sichuan). The Northern Song Dynasty writer, together with his sons Su Shi and Su Che, is collectively known as the "Three Sus", and they are all included in the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties". Su Xun's prose has clear arguments, powerful arguments, sharp language, unbridled and eloquent persuasion. In "Sending Shi Changyan's Envoy to Beiyin", he hoped that his friend Shi Changyan who was on an envoy to Khitan would not be afraid of the enemy and despise the enemy. He wrote it very powerfully. "Portraits of Zhang Yizhou" narrates Zhang Fangping's deeds in governing Yizhou, creating an image of a feudal official who was tolerant of government and loved the people. "Wooden Rockery" uses objects to express feelings, praising a kind of self-reliance and upright spirit.
