Shen Wei, a professor at the Hubei Academy of Fine Arts, once said that because of the distant Dongpo, what remains with the world is a poetic style of survival, and because of this, in the minds of every admirer, there is a Su Dongpo that he understands.

The exhibition spans nearly a thousand years, and the treasure of the town hall of the Sansu Temple, Song Tuoben, "The Tale of the Drunken Pavilion", made its debut to the public, and some cultural relics of the Forbidden City will also debut at the Sansu Temple. In the view of Chen Zhongwen, director of the Sansu Ancestral Museum, these cultural relics show the literature, calligraphy, art, life and life attitude and life value of the Song Dynasty literati represented by Su Dongpo from different perspectives, presenting a more vivid historical world than the written record, allowing us to get a close look at a unique and vivid "elegant Song".
The treasure of the town hall is on display for the first time
The cultural relics of the Forbidden City were unveiled at the Sansu Ancestral Hall
Why is this exhibition named "My Family's East Slope"? Su Dongpo was born, grew up, set out in Meishan, and then walked into the long river of Chinese culture. For Su Dongpo, Meishan is the hometown of haunting thoughts. In the name of "My Family Dongpo", it is the remembrance and commemoration of Mr. Dongpo by the Sansu Ancestral Hall, and it is also the hope to present a great and lovely Dongpo in the hometown.
Qing Yu collection "Su Wenzhonggong's Remains" Sansu Temple Museum collection
The Red Star News reporter learned that the Sansu Ancestral Hall now has tens of thousands of cultural relics in its collection, including thousands of precious cultural relics, and the treasure of the town hall exhibited this time is the Northern Song Dynasty Su Shi book "Drunken Pavilion Record".
According to reports, in the sixth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1091), Su Shi wrote at the request of the King of Chuzhou Zhizhou when he was in Yingzhou. The Tale of drunken Pavilion is a famous prose written by Ouyang Xiu in the sixth year of the Qing calendar (1046). This calligraphy, "dashing and vertical, wrapped in iron in the cotton", is one of Su Shikai's famous works.
In 1959, the Sansu Ancestral Hall established the Sansu Memorial Hall, and the Palace Museum donated the Song Tuoben of the "Drunken Pavilion" to the Sansu Ancestral Hall, which is a proper treasure of the town hall.

In addition, eight pieces of porcelain borrowed from the Palace Museum in Beijing will also be unveiled at the Sansu Temple. These 8 exhibits are cultural relics of the Qing Kangyong period, all of which are the theme of Su Dongpo's "Chibi Fu", including pen holders, bowls, cups, beam pots and other shapes.
"Song-style aesthetics of life"
Feel a "graceful song"
Mr. Chen Yinke once said: "The culture of the Chinese nation, which has evolved over thousands of years, was created in the world of Zhao and Song dynasties." The Song Dynasty elevated life to the realm of art and formed the peak of traditional Chinese culture and aesthetics. The relaxed and elegant attitude of the Song people is still attractive to modern people, which triggers the "Song Dynasty fever".
The Song Dynasty cultural relics in this exhibition not only have the delicate charm of the wind and the moon, but also the boldness and heroism of the great river going east, as well as the exquisite elegance of the azure after the rain, which will let you feel a real "elegant Song" with the "Song-style life aesthetics".
Ming Dynasty", "West Garden YajiTu" volume (partial) Collection of Sansu Temple Museum
The Ming Dynasty-style "West Garden YajiTu" volume (partial) collected by the Sansu Ancestral Hall Museum and will be exhibited this time is a typical aesthetic of life. "Yaji" refers to the gathering of literati and scholars to chant poetry and discuss knowledge. Due to the literati characteristics of the main participants in the assembly activities, the assembly rises to the level of "elegance".
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Yi invited Su Shi, Su Rui, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Li Gonglin and 16 other people to visit the West Garden. This gathering, known as the "Xiyuan Elegant Collection", is a grand gathering of poets, calligraphers, painters, and Taoists, and is called "the first grand gathering of the millennium" by later generations, compared with the "Lanting Gathering" of Wang Xizhi in the Jin Dynasty.
This gathering of Su Dongpo's "circle of friends" has also been fascinated for more than 900 years. The descendants of Jingmu Xiyuan Yaji, a group of rare Hanyuan wizards who have been in the past thousand years, have a spiritual outlook and a clean and elegant picture of life, and have created a large number of pictures named "Xiyuan Yaji", making Xiyuan Yaji from an accidental gathering to a cultural event that lasts for thousands of years.
