First of all, I want to tell you a story about Su Xun guiding children to learn. Su Xun's two sons disliked school when they were very young. They are very active and often get distracted by reading. Su Xun also beat them and scolded them, but it only seemed to increase the children's rebellious mentality. So he came up with a very wise method.

From then on, every time Su Xun saw the children playing around, he deliberately didn't say anything, and then quietly ran aside to read a book, looking particularly afraid of being seen by two children. As a result, the two brothers also wanted to know what his father was reading, so after his father left, he went to secretly find books and read them in the corner.

After a long time, both children fell in love with reading. No matter what work they have done, they should have a look and learn from it. Su Xun's goal was thus easily achieved. As a father, he played a very good guiding role for children.

This is a short story about Su Xun's education leading children to learn. It seems simple, but it does play an educational role. Of course, there are many similar stories. For example, Su Xun himself is very talented, but his talent is accumulated bit by bit in books. He even burned the manuscript because he couldn't write a satisfactory article. Only in this way can we make breakthroughs and progress.

Now there are many stories about Su Xun that are very instructive to us. We can use them to encourage our children to work harder. Whenever they have the idea of escaping from difficulties, we will look at the efforts of the ancients and restore their morale.

When did Su Xun become a scholar?

Su Xun is one of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties" and the father of Su Shi and Su Zhe. He is a famous master of literature. His articles are unique, and so is his writing style. He is deeply loved by people. So, did Su Xun win the Jinshi? When did Su Xun become a scholar?

In fact, Su Xun failed the Jinshi exam. Although he took the exam, he failed. His two sons Su Shi, Su Zhe and his second brother Su Xun all passed the entrance examination. Therefore, although Su Xun's articles are well known, he regrets that he did not pass the Jinshi exam.

Su Xun was born into a noble family. As a young man, he is a real gentleman. He does not like reading. He likes traveling all day. He hasn't made any progress since he married Shicheng, an excellent family member. He is irresponsible to his family. After a series of things, Su Xun finally understood his responsibility and lost his temper on the 27th. He read through famous books, studied poems and books, and finally wrote his own article.

However, in some literatures, there are other answers to the question of when Su Xun became a scholar. It is said that Su Xun lost his temper at the age of 27, and later took his two sons to take the Jinshi exam. Also mentioned that when writing Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun and his son were both successful candidates. However, in authoritative documents such as China Historical Dictionary, it is clearly pointed out that Su Xun "failed in the imperial examination for young people and failed in his official career". This shows that he did not get the title of "the highest imperial examination" that scholars dreamed of.

Only the ancients may know when Su Xun will become a scholar. Now many scholars think that Su Xun should be named after a scholar, because his articles, his literary attainments and his influence on later generations are more than enough.

Su Xun's famous sentence

Su Xun was born in the Northern Song Dynasty. In our middle and high school textbooks, we often see his prose poems and so on. In our impression, Su Xun is a charming young man with great literary talent. However, the fact is that Su Xun didn't like studying when he was young. Because his father was the head of the family, Su Xun didn't feel tired when he was a child. He goes out to play with friends every day. During this period, he also took part in the imperial examination, but failed.

After that, Su Xun followed Chen Hongmei and others on a four-way trip to Mount Emei. After the tour, he heard that Minshan Mountain in the northwest is also spectacular. The trip lasted for half a year. When he got home, he found his wife looking haggard. Through his wife's narration, he saw the stubborn shadow of his son. Only then did he begin to think about his family and future.

After he lost his mother, his brother asked him to sort out his family tree. From then on, Su Xun was keen on learning. With hard work and talent, Su Xun became a household name. From then on, Su Xun's famous words became a household name. In Su Xun's famous prose sentences, we can feel his atmosphere. All his articles give people a feeling of being suddenly enlightened.

Many people were deeply impressed by Su Xun's famous exposition on why Qin Shihuang could unify the six countries. In this article, Su Xun expressed his views that are different from what ordinary people understand. In the eyes of people at that time, the unification of the six countries was due to the strength of Qin. However, Su Xun can see the mystery at a glance. Due to the disunity of other countries, Qin Neng unified six countries. Emperors of all countries have no long-term vision. They only consider the vital interests of their own country, rather than the common people think that Qin is strong, brave, good at fighting and reunifying the six countries.

Until now, Su Xun's famous sentences can still be heard by students in various regions. Obviously, Su Xun's influence on the whole country is enormous, and his famous words can only be circulated today.
