I always loved the works of Su Dongpo and recently found the Slender Gold calligraphy of Huizong. I didn't expect that the two had such strong opinions of one another.
My favorite literati. I have a 1-meter by 2-meter rubbing of his work from the Beilin Museum in Xi'an and every time I visit Hangzhou I visit the small museum dedicated to him. 十年生死兩茫茫... My favorite poem of his is the dedication to the memory of his first wife.
Thank you very much for making this video. Su Shi is from my hometown Sichuan, so is Li Bai. Although Su has a much wider impact on Sichuan people, Li is much more famous for foreigners. As a mandarin teacher, I would like to recommend the 《百家讲坛-苏轼》 to people who want to know more about Su Shi.
Thank you. So tremendous as an insight into the depth of literary culture and its important place in general population of China
I thank you for checking this old episode out.

Su Shi is a perfect human being. One in a thousand years.

谢谢 Ann. I love 百家讲坛! I'm so honored you gave my episode a listen.
Oh dear. I didn't know Emperor Huizong hated his guts. I guess Su was like Bourdain or some Beatnik poet...
I don't know if I'd put it that strongly...but let's just say, not a Su Shi fan.
