Since ancient times, choosing a good name for a child is a great gift from parents to their children. Because a person's name almost accompanies a lifetime, the name represents the good wishes of parents to their children, even in modern society, naming is still a compulsory course for parents.
And as an all-round talent in the history of Chinese literature, a literary giant, a famous scholar of the Song Dynasty, and a collection of poetry, lyrics, fu, prose, calligraphy, painting and other talents in one, how did Su Dongpo name his children?
Su Dongpo had four sons, the eldest son Su Mai, the second son Su Yi, the third son Su Guo, and the fourth son Su Dun.
Su Dongpo's four sons
Su Mai, child of Su Dongpo and his first wife Wang Fu;
Su Yi, the child of Su Dongpo and his second wife Wang Minzhi;
Su Guo, the second son of Su Dongpo and his second wife Wang Minzhi;
Su Dun, the child of Su Dongpo and Hong Yan's confidant Wang Chaoyun.
The names of the four sons also express Su Shi's mental journey and the change in life situation. Step (step forward), leap (wait, arrive), cross (cross), escape (retreat). Linking the integration of Mai, Qiu, Guo, and Escape, we can see that Su Dongpo slowly turned from Confucianism's active entry into the World to Taoism's seclusion. This change in thinking is not only reflected in Su Shi's literary works, but also in the meaning of naming children.
A common feature of the names of the four sons is that they are all "walking on the side", or "walking at the bottom". 辶 (chuò) is a side of the Chinese character, derived from the character 辵 (chuò), which means to go and jump. I don't know if it is in the dark, Su Dongpo has predicted that his life will have ups and downs in the future, full of ups and downs, and almost his whole life is on the way to be degraded or demoted, please refer to the author's previous article "Su Shi's 23,000-kilometer life road".
First, the step
The word "Mai" has the following meaning in the dictionary:

8. Measure words. Transliteration of miles (1 mile = 1.6093 km.) Used for motor vehicle speed) ([English]: mile).
The word "Mai"
When Su Shi chose the name for his son at that time, he may have taken the meaning of enterprising, heroic, and detached. Just like Su Shi's vigor at that time and the vigorous and heroic momentum of about to make a contribution.
Su Mai was born in Meishan in the fourth year of Jiayou (1059), when Su Shi was 23 years old and Su Mai's mother Wang Fu was 20 years old.
In the second year of Zhihe (1055), Su Shi married Wang Fu, a girl from the Qingshen of Meishan; The following year, his younger brother Su Zhi married the daughter of Tongli Shiqu. In ancient times, parents also thought that their children would solve the marriage problem as soon as possible and not delay the business. After Su Laoquan arranged the marriage of his two sons, in the first year of Emperor Renzong's Jiayou (1056), he took the 20-year-old Su Shi and the 17-year-old Su Zhi to Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng, Henan) to rush for the exam.
At that time, Renzong attached great importance to seeking talents for the country, and the examination was also very strict, going through four rounds of written examinations. First test historical and political theory, then test classic ancient books, and after being shortlisted, you must also test poetry under the personal supervision of the emperor, and finally test the theory of strategy.
On April 8 of the second year of Jiayou (1057), the Su Shi brothers were all admitted to junior high school with honors. Su Shi was greatly appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, a literary champion and chief examiner at the time, because of his unrestrained literary style, Su Shi's article was supposed to be rated first, but because Ouyang Xiu thought that the article was written by his friend Zeng Gong. In order to avoid suspicion, Ouyang Xiu changed the original first place to the second place.
Ouyang Xiu sculpture
When the examiner admits students, a teacher-student relationship is automatically formed, and the protégé in the examination should pay homage to the teacher and write a letter of gratitude for the kindness. When Ouyang Xiu read Su Shi's letter, he excitedly said to his colleagues: "Reading Su Shi's letter, for some reason, I am so happy that I sweat so much, the old man should give way to this person and make him stand out." At that time, Ouyang Xiu was the leader of the literary circle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the leader's praise and disapproval were enough to determine the success or failure of a scholar. Back home, Ouyang Xiu also excitedly said to his son: "Remember my words, no one will talk about the old man in thirty years."
Because of the strong recommendation of Ouyang Xiu and other bigwigs, Su Shi was famous at this time, and even Renzong said to the empress: "Su Shi and Su Zhi brothers are the two prime ministers I chose for my descendants." At this time, Su Shi is a rising star in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, he is full of strength and top guns, like a horse galloping on the grassland, with the power to conquer the eight wildernesses.
Horses galloping on the steppe
Su Shi's journey was just about to start when he received the news of the death of his mother, Mrs. Cheng (Su Shi was admitted as a junior scholar in 1057). Mrs. Cheng and her two daughters-in-law passed away in their hometown in Meizhou before they heard the good news from the Sansu exam in the capital, and the father and son returned to their hometown to mourn, and they had to observe filial piety for two years and three months before they could return to Beijing to serve. During the funeral ceremony when returning to his hometown, Su Shi and his wife Wang Fu accompanied each other every day, with great affection, red sleeves and incense, Qin Se and Ming. Two years later, in the fourth year of Jiayou (1059), the couple had a son, Sumai.
Su Shi and Wang Fu took their son Mai Mai and the family to settle in Kyoto, and arrived in Beijing in February of the following year. The Shizhi brothers and Su Jiayu laughed along the way, relaxed and happy, full of hope. They moved from the countryside to the metropolis, waiting for the appointment of the imperial court, opening a new chapter in their lives, making meritorious achievements, and realizing class leaps, which could not be described as promising.
Therefore, when his son was born, Su Shi named his son Su Mai, which should be a portrayal of Su Shi's mood and life opportunities at this time, striding forward to conquer the eight wilderness, and the future is bright and limitless.
The future is promising, and the future is promising
2. Roundabout
迨 (dài) Basic meaning
1. Wait until you reach until the flowers become flowers. - Ming Liyu, "Idle Love and Planting Department", or "Reaching".
2. Take advantage of and ride: Yiji (men and women marry in time). "Please strike at them before they finish their positions" (attack them while they are not fully in position).
The word "迨"
The child of Su Dongpo and his second wife Wang Minzhi, Su Yi was born in Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng, Henan) in the third year of Xining (1070). This year, Dongpo was 34 years old and Leap was 22 years old.
Around the time of Su Yi's birth, when the dispute between the upright dynasty and China over the new policy was fierce, the political struggle of the imperial court changed from a spark to a fire, and anyone who opposed Wang Anshi's change of law was removed from office, and the political ecology of the DPRK and China was damaged.
The political struggle between the DPRK and China is raging
In the imperial history, Cheng Lü Xu jointly wrote a letter impeaching Wang Anshi and the imperial history platform was tragically purged, and many imperial histories were degraded to remote places. Su Shi's younger brother Su Zi was demoted in August of the second year of Xining (1069) and appointed as a left-behind official in Henan Prefecture. Fan Chunren, a member of Shangshu's military department and a living quarterer, was exiled. In September of the third year of Xining (1070), Sima Guang was transferred to Shaanxi.
When Su Shi chose the name for his son Su Yi, he may have taken the meaning of "迨" to wait, to achieve the meaning, waiting for the situation to be clear and stable, to clear the fog, and when the politics were clear, Su Shi would make a comeback and fulfill his ambitions.
At this time, Su Shi's brother Su Mai was also more than 10 years old, and a lot of things happened in Su Shi's family life and workplace work in the past ten years.
In the second year of Zhiping (1065), 30-year-old Su Shi suffered the pain of losing his wife in middle age, and his beloved wife Wang Fuxiang died of jade, and his age was forever fixed at 27 years old.
His beloved wife Wang Fuxiang disappeared
The following year, in the third year of Zhiping (1066), the 31-year-old Su Shi suffered the loss of his father again. At that time, Su Xun's "Yi Chuan" was seriously ill before it was completed, and his son Su Shi wrote "Yi Chuan" after describing his zhi. He died in Jingshi on April 25 at the age of 58.
In July of the first year of Xining (1068), Su Shi's mourning period expired and he renewed, marrying Wang Fu's cousin Wang Minzhi (Wang Jizhang), who had long admired Su Shi, inherited his sister's last wish, and was willing to take care of Su Shi and his six-year-old child. In the same year, Su Shi and his family set off to return to Kyoto.
In the second year of Shinzō Xining (1069), Su Shi arrived in Kyoto. In the same year, Wang Anshi was appointed by Emperor Shenzong to preside over the reform of the law by Emperor Shenzong, and then Su Shi was involved in the vortex of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In September of the second year of Xining, the Young Seedlings Law was officially promulgated, a measure that affected every peasant household in every village in the country and was also the main point of contention between the DPRK and China. Wang Anshi originally envisioned a rich country without taking advantage of the people, lending money to farmers during spring plowing, buying farm tools and wheat seedlings, and officially harvesting wheat for all supply and interest at harvest. However, because of the forced oppression and exploitation of the bureaucracy, it has become forced buying and selling, it has become competition with the people, changing the law seems to be a strong country but not a strong people, and has caused the peasant family to be destroyed.
Wang Anshi's new law content
Su Shi was serving as a historical official at this time, with a small official rank, limited to writing as a text, and had little to do with administration, but he was still not accustomed to the miasma of the dynasty for the change of law. In the third year of Xining, Wang Anshi officially took the throne, leaned in power, and vigorously promoted the new coup law. Since February of the third year of Xining (1070), he has repeatedly attacked the Qingmiao Law, begging the emperor to change his mind, and there have been ministers in the dynasty who have left their posts one after another because of their opposition to changing the law, and Su Shi also knew that even if he did not suffer trouble, at least it would be a matter of time before he was deposed.
Later, he wrote a third letter accusing the New Deal of many ills, telling Shenzong that he must not use authoritarian power to intimidate the people, and argued that the emperor had lost the popular support because of the implementation of the New Deal, and that the emperor and those in power in the dynasty were no longer tolerated by the Qing Dynasty. And when Xining was serving as the official of Kaifeng Prefecture in April, he published the imperial examination topic "On Arbitrariness", which completely angered Wang Anshi and other people in power. Although the emperor still slightly praised his advice, Wang Anshi and some of the younger people were extremely slanderous.
Examples of ancient twists and turns
Xie Jingwen, a relative and attaché of Wang Anshi, slandered Su Shi, saying that during the period when Su Shi helped his deceased father's coffin to return home, he abused the official guards and smuggled illegal salt to profit from it. The emperor also believed it, and said to Sima Guang, "It seems that Su Shi's character is not good, and Qing has over-evaluated him." Sima Guang immediately dismissed the emperor: "Does Your Majesty mean that someone has accused him?" I know Shi better, even if Shi is not a perfect person, it is much better than Li Ding, the beast who does not report the loss of his hidden mother. His Majesty knew that Xie Jingwen was a relative of Anshi and that the accusation was also instigated by Wang Anshi. ”
At that time, Su Shi could have been promoted from the post of Taishou from the overseer of the Concert Academy, but because of his opposition to the New Deal, Wang Anshi and Xie Jingwen opposed it, and Su Shi was transferred to Hangzhou in November of the fourth year of Xining (1071), and as Su Shi had expected in the early days, it was only a matter of time before he was deposed.
Therefore, Su Shi disdained the impeachment of Wang Anshi and a row of new-school figures, refused to even defend himself on the above table, received the transfer order, and happily rushed to the scenic Hangzhou to take up his post. Everywhere you go, you can ask for the people's life, and you can stay away from the endless disputes between the DPRK and China, so why not.
It's like naming your son "迨", wait for a while, wait for the opportunity, and then make a comeback.

Su Guo, the second son of Su Dongpo and his second wife Wang Minzhi, and the third son of Su Shi, was born in Hangzhou in the fifth year of Xining (1072). This year, Dongpo was 36 years old and Min Zhi was 24 years old.
The word "pass" may mean process, from here to there, from here to then.
In November of the fourth year of Xining (1071), Su Shi was transferred from the capital to Hangzhou Tongjuan, which was equivalent to the deputy post of Zhizhou, mainly playing a supervisory role for local officials and assisting the prefecture government. Being degraded was expected by Su Shi, and he also had psychological expectations. The following year (1072), Su Guo was born. From Kyoto to Hangzhou, from the first-tier prosperous metropolis, to the second-tier city downgraded, fortunately, Hangzhou is also a scenic city, there is heaven, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, everywhere is to live, enjoy the moment, enjoy the process.
There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou West Lake
Just as on June 27, the fifth year of Xining (1072) of this year, Su Shi visited West Lake to see the lake and mountains, and then drank wine on the Wanghu Tower and composed five poems in one breath, "June 27th Wanghulou Drunken Book Five Unique": "Before becoming a small hidden chat, you can get long leisure and win temporary leisure." I don't have a home and a better place to go to, and my hometown doesn't have such good lakes and mountains. "It means that if you can't live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, let's be an idle official first, I don't have a home in the first place, so where can I go if I am not here?" What's more, even if it is a hometown, there is no beautiful lake and mountain scenery like here. Just live in Hangzhou, enjoy the beautiful lake light of Hangzhou, and enjoy the harmonious life with the people of Hangzhou.
Life in Hangzhou is indeed happy and comfortable, there are scenery, beautiful women, Hangzhou people who like him, drinking poetry, swimming in West Lake, Su Shi and Hangzhou empower each other, Hangzhou gives him inspiration and infiltrates his heart; Su Shi used the "First Sunshine and Rain Two Songs" on the drinking lake: "The water is shining and the sun is good, and the mountains are rainy and strange." If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. "Giving life to the beauty of West Lake has become an ancient saying that exhausts the benefits of West Lake, and the beauty of West Lake and Su Shi's talent are blended and integrated.
If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate
Although Tongju did not have much right to build for the local area, his status as a poet was enough to win the hearts of the people of Hangzhou, just as the beauty and warmth of Hangzhou won the hearts of Su Shi. In the second year of Yuan Feng (1079), Su Shi was arrested and imprisoned for the Wutai Shi case, and the people of Hangzhou set up incense cases along the streets, praying that the heavens would wish Su Shi to be released as soon as possible. Hangzhou regards Su Shi as a relative, and Su Shi also regards Hangzhou as his second hometown.
Eighteen years later, in the fourth year of Yuan Yu (1089), Su Shi returned to Hangzhou again to serve as Hangzhou Zhizhou, this time Su Shi and the people of Hangzhou were more cordial, and there was an extra layer of love between them, Su Shi dredged salt roads for Hangzhou and solved the water problem of Hangzhou residents; Anle Fang, the earliest public hospital in China; Repair West Lake, build Su Causeway, stabilize valley prices. Su Shi and Hangzhou have long been inseparable, and Mr. Lin Yutang mentioned in "The Biography of Su Dongpo" that "if you point out that Su Dongpo is from Sichuan, the people of Hangzhou will be unhappy, and the people of Hangzhou think that Su Dongpo was born in Hangzhou, except for Kyoto, why did he leave Hangzhou."
Su Shi's son Su Guo was born in Hangzhou, and Su Shi's life in Hangzhou is also wonderful, since he can't return to the mountains and forests, he lives here, enjoys the process, and enjoys the moment.
Enjoy the process, enjoy the moment
Su's childhood was mostly spent with his father in frequent migrations. At the age of 2, he followed his father from Hangzhou to Mizhou (Shandong Zhucheng), at the age of 4 he followed his father to Xuzhou (Jiangsu), in the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), and at the age of 7, the family went to Huzhou (Zhejiang), and soon after the Wutai poetry case was discovered, Su Shi was escorted to Bianjing, and Su Guo and his second brother Su Yi stayed with his mother in Huzhou; At the age of 8, Su Shi followed his father to Huangzhou (Huanggang, Hubei), Su Shi was on Huangzhou Lilu Weibo, it was difficult to support his family, and even ploughed Dongpo to personally grow vegetables to support the family's livelihood, which also made Su live a life of lack of food and clothing in childhood, and cultivated his later indifferent and quiet philosophy of life. 12-year-old Changzhou (Jiangsu), in the same year his father Su Shi returned to Beijing and was reused; At the age of 16, he returned to his birthplace Hangzhou, and at the age of 23, he came to Huizhou with his father, and after the death of Wang Chaoyun, Su Shi's diet and consumption were all borne by Su Guo. At the age of 26, he went to Danzhou, Hainan with his father, and for three years, Su Guo has been responsible for taking care of his father's diet. Su Guo spent the longest time with his father, and he was never interrupted by his father's guidance, and was called "Little Dongpo" at the time.
Su Guo's name is also like Su Shi's enjoyment in Hangzhou when he was just born, enjoying the process, and in the end, "from here to there, from this time to that time", constantly migrating and rushing.

The word "dun"
Su Dun, the child of Su Dongpo and his third wife Wang Chaoyun, was born in Huangzhou in the sixth year of Yuan Feng (1083). At this time, Dongpo was 47 years old and Chaoyun was 21 years old.
Escape means to stay away from the political vortex, to disappear, and to go into hiding. Su Dun not only has the righteousness of being far away from the world, but also reflects Su Shi's discouragement after living in Huangzhou, and has no intention of official life.
In March of the second year of Yuan Feng (1079), Su Shi took office as Zhizhou of Huzhou, and in July the "Wutai Poetry Case" occurred, and Su Shi was almost put to death by the New Party, and later demoted to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment.
When Su Shi went to Huzhou, he submitted the Ren Xie En Form--"Huzhou Xie Shang Table", because in the thank you form, "When His Majesty knows that he is stupid and uncomfortable, it is difficult to chase Xinjin; If you are old and do not make trouble, you may be able to shepherd small people", which attracted the attention of others, thinking that Su Shi slandered the imperial court and began to impeach Su Shi.
Because Su Shi had a great influence in the literary world at that time, his resistance to the new law was not conducive to the implementation of the new policy. And a group of mediocrities who rose under Wang Anshi's power saw the wind and wrote to impeach Su Shi.
Upper dynasty scene in the TV series
Shu Ling, an official of the Imperial History Platform, found a few poems by Su Shi about the Qingmiao loan, and played the imperial court along with the impeachment seal: Su Shi recently thanked the above table with ridiculing current affairs, His Majesty bowed to morality, established a government and made a scholar, in order to fortunate the future generations of the world, which can be described as Yao Shun's intentions. At this time, Shi was in the name of dirt and useless songs..., and the ministers did not know why His Majesty was defeated by the world and Shi, and Shi dared to be slow and fearless.
In the imperial history, Cheng Li Ding (who had concealed his mother's funeral and was scolded by Sima Guang as inferior to animals and animals) said above that "Shi was anxious to obtain a high position, dissatisfied in his heart, and ridiculed power", "Hoping that His Majesty would judge his own heavenly intentions and perform the constitution in special ways". It is said that Su Shi ridiculed the imperial government and said that he should be beheaded.
He Zhengchen, the superintendent of imperial history, called Su Shi "fooling the imperial court and arrogant."
One after another twists and turns rushed to the dynasty like snowflakes, plus the change of law itself was a matter promoted by the Divine Sect, and the emperor had no intention of asking for Su Shi's life, but he was also willing to investigate.
Portrait of Song Shenzong
On July 28, Su Shi was removed from his official position as Taishou of Huzhou and escorted back to Beijing. On August 18, he was sent to Goshidai Prison. Su Shi was tortured in prison, and once thought that "my life will rest", and asked the jailer to give Su Zhi the two farewell poems he wrote, explain the future to his brother, and hope to be brothers in the next life.
Outside the prison, there were also honest ministers who constantly wrote to intercede for Su Shi. Prime Minister Wu Chong defended Su Shi: "Your Majesty takes Yao Shun as the law, and Bo Wei Wu is good, but Wei Wu is jealous of this, he can still tolerate Youheng, Your Majesty can't tolerate Su Shi?" Wang Anshi, who was already living idly in Jinling (present-day Nanjing), also wrote to persuade Shenzong that the Holy Dynasty should not be a famous man. Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhixuan was willing to pay back all official positions to atone for his brother's sins, and asked the imperial court to pardon his brother.
The Empress Dowager Cao also personally asked her grandson Shenzong about this: "Wen Shi is imprisoned for poetry, and he is not slandered by the enemy? As for poetry, it's too little. I am in full condition, and I must not be harmed and neutralized by indiscriminate abuse, and I should familiarize myself with it. "Former Renzong is very happy to return to the virtuous and good, and I say: I am now the prime minister of Taiping for my descendants, Gai Shi and Zhiye, and can I kill them?"
Portrait of Su Shi and Su Zhi brothers
On December 29, the second year of Yuan Feng (1079), the holy oracle was issued, and Su Shi was demoted to "the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment to resettle Honzhou, a member of the Shangshushui Ministry of Inspection". The next day (Chinese New Year's Eve night), Su Shi, who had spent 132 days in prison, was released. On the first day of the first lunar month in the third year of Yuan Feng (1080), he and his eldest son Su Mai left Kyoto and left for Huangzhou, where their family was temporarily taken care of by his younger brother Su Zhi.
The Wutai poetry case is a nightmare in Su Shi's life, escaping from death, and also a turning point in his life and creative process, degrading the life in Huangzhou, making Su Shi change from the positive advancement of "To Jun Yao Shun" to find the destination of his soul from nature, his political enthusiasm has decreased, and in the painful torment of purgatory, he constantly adjusts his heart, seeks better ways to integrate life goals, and makes himself feel at ease.
In terms of creative style, it has also changed from the grandeur and bold and galloping in the early stage to the short-term melancholy and loneliness, transparent and insightful, uninhibited, ethereal and timeless when he first arrived in Huangzhou.
Before the "Wutai Poetry Case", in the eighth year of Xining (1075), Su Shi was in Zhizhou of Mizhou (present-day Zhucheng, Shandong), and during a hunting activity, and the creation of "Jiangchengzi Mizhou Hunting", "The old man talks about the madness of youth, left pull, right Qingcang", "will hold the eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, shoot the sky wolf" all show the political proposition of a strong country to resist the enemy, express the generosity of eager to serve the imperial court and the ambition and pride of serving the country.
Su Shi Mizhou Hunting
After the poem case, from the first day of February in the third year of Yuan Feng (1080) to Huangzhou, and his family members went to Huangzhou on May 29, Su Shi lived in Dinghui Courtyard with monks and vegetables, and once wrote "Bu Shuzi Huangzhou Dinghui Courtyard Residence Works", "Hanging dredging in the moon and missing the first tranquility of people." Sometimes I see the ghost alone, ethereal and lonely. Frightened but turned back, there was hatred and no one was saved. Picking out the cold branches and refusing to perch, the lonely sandbar is cold. "It expresses the lonely situation of the Huangzhou period and the unwillingness to follow the flow.
The lack of moon hangs dredging, and the first tranquility of people is missed
Of course, Su Shi also traveled around to relax the endless sorrows in his heart, and in the fifth year of Yuan Feng (1082), he created "Dingfeng Bo Mo Listen to the Sound of Forest Beating Leaves", "a smoke and rain let the life of Ren Ping" open-minded, free-spirited and otherworldly; In July of the same year, he created the pinnacle of Song Zhi's work "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu", expressing that he has the ambition to serve the country, but his ambition is difficult to reward, and he sighs that life is like a dream, the years are passing, and there is a sense of transparency after the fact.
In the sixth year of Yuan Feng (1083), Wang Chaoyun gave birth to a son, Su Dun, for the 47-year-old Su Shi, which greatly soothed Su Shi's feelings of being degraded in recent years.
Su Shi named the child Su Duan, as soon as he said Su Duan, "遯" is a variant of 遁, meaning "遁", from the "I Ching" 33rd trigram "遁", the 94th word: Good 遯, gentleman Ji, villain no. Ninety-five: Jia Luo, Zhenji.
I Ching, No. 33: Tianshan Dun (遁卦)
Su Shi made a "Baptism Poem" for his son who was baptized for three days (a Northern Song custom, a child needs to be washed three days after birth): "Everyone adopts a son and wants to be smart, and I am mistaken by wisdom all my life." May the child be foolish and reckless, and there will be no disaster to the secretary." People want their children to be smart, and I really hope that they want their children to be stupid and stupid, as long as there is no disaster, and they will be given a public secretary. Foolishness here refers to "great wisdom", not small wisdom. He hopes that his son will be wise and foolish, be steady, and not be delayed by his own cleverness.
Unfortunately, the sky did not go as expected, and Du'er suffered from heat stroke when she was ten months old, and soon died of illness in Jinling, quietly leaving the world in the arms of Chaoyun.
Su Shi Dongpo was extremely sad and blamed himself, thinking that Su'er's death was caused by himself: "Suddenly taken away, I am tired of bad karma!" The clothes are exempt from vulgarity, and the beards are destroyed. The return embraces the emptiness, and the old tears are like water. ", his beloved wife Chaoyun also suffered huge grief separated by flesh and bones, yin and yang, and was in a trance all day long, bedridden. Su Shi Shiyun: "The mother can't hear her crying, and she wants to die with Ru." So the clothes are still suspended, and the breasts have flowed into the bed. Chaoyun even thought about leaving this world with his son, and the child's clothes were still hanging on the hanger, and he was reluctant to accept the fact that the child had died.
From ancient times to the present, Chinese people have chosen names or expressed their own aspirations, or self-stated ambitions, and the four names of Su Mai, Su Yi, Su Guo and Su Dun cover the ups and downs of Su Dongpo's officialdom in his life, reflecting Dongpo's understanding of life, conveying the expectation of children's growth, and also the portrayal of Mr. Dongpo's life.
