8. San Su Shrine Museum(三苏祠)
P1:Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Today we are going to Meishan city to visit San Su Shrine Museum(三苏祠).Meishan(眉山)city was called Meizhou(眉州) in ancient times.To Chinese people, Meishan is known for being the hometown of three famous Chinese literary scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty: Su Xun(苏海) and his two sons Su Shi(苏轼) and Su Zhe(苏辙).They were also called Three Su(三苏) by Chinese people.
P2: San Su Shrine Museum. which is also called the Memorial Temple of the Three Su, is located in the southwest of Meishan city, Sichuan province, about 80 kilometers from Chengdu city. Su Shi, who was the most famous among Three Su, lived here-for 26 years. Su Shi, styled named Su Dongpo(苏东坡),was a famous scholar who ibutions to the Chinese literature, calligraphy and painting. Su Shi was both a great poet and Ci writer "What is Ci(词) ? Ci has different numbers of Chinese characters in all its lines, so it is best used as lyrics for singing. In terms of contents, Ci poe
ms belong to poetry in a broad-sense; in terms of music, Ci poems are the lyrics intended for singing with music accompaniment, so they differ from traditional ancient Chinese poems. Su Shi wrote over 2,700 poems and over 300 Ci poems,featuring both Li Bai's romantic style and Du Fu's realistic spirit. Su Shi innovated the dynamic and unconstrained school of Ci poetry writing, and made a breakthrough in extension of its content, writing style, and the rules and forms of Ci poetry. His prose was spontaneous and smooth, which was a paragon of later ages. He was one of the four greatest calligraphers in the Song Dynasty. His calligraphy, free and easy, had a style of its own. Su Shi was also a painter. He advocated the integration of poetry and painting, in favor of a painting in a poem and a poem in a painting. His works, with a style of both realistic and abstract touches, opened a new chapter in the history of Chinese painting.
P3: In the Yuan Dynasty, the residence of the Su Family was transformed into an ancestral hall(元代改宅为祠) but was later destroyed in war in the late Ming Dynasty. In the 4th year during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (清康熙四年,即1665).it was rebuilt on the original location for people to memorize the scholars of the Su Family. Then it was fu
rther renovated in the late 19th century.Today the mansion and pavilions here serve as a museum for the study of the writing of the Northern Song Dynasty.At their residence complex. some 4,500 items of historical documents are on display.including relics of Su Family.writings and calligraphy.Currently,it is a national key protected cultural relic unit and a national 4A-level tourist attraction. In January 2018. UNESCO awarded San Su Shrine Museum a Certificate of Appreciation for Cultural Heritage Protection(文化进产保护证书), recognizing its great contribution to the spread of Chinese culture.

P6: Ladies and gentlemen, here is the east wing room(东厢房). The east wing room was built in the year 1806.The back section of the east wing room tells us stories of the Su family through paintings and statues. demonstrating the traditions and teachings of the family. Look! The one sitting in the middle was Mrs. Cheng(程夫人)--the wife of Su Xun and mother of Su Shi and Su Zhe.Mrs'Cheng who was born in Qingshen(青神) married Su Xun at the age of 18. She was elegant, kind intelligent and knowledgeable She often encouraged her husband and children to always pursue progress in knowledge and career. It was Mrs. Cheng who helped the Su family to become successful.In order to make her husband and sons to concentrate on study. she sold her dowry(嫁妆) to run silk business to support the family. As Su Xun was often travelling around and seldom home. it was Mrs Ch
relic
eng who not only managed the family business but also took main responsibility in educating their children. Su Shi described his childhood life in Meishan in many of his poems and essays. He once wrote two stories about his mother.
P7: One story tells that one day while their servants were working in the courtyard, they accidentally found a jar underground. As covered by ebony, it was possible that the jar may contain valuables such as gold or silver. The treasure in the jar could bring fortune to the family. However, Mrs.Cheng did not open it and asked the servants to bury the jar back into the ground. A few years later, Su Shi went to work in Qixia(歧下)town and lived under an old willow tree. In winter when it snowed, Su Shi and his wife found that about one square foot of ground was not covered by any snow. Su Shi thought that perhaps it was a place where ancient people buried precious medicine, so he wanted to dig it out. His wife Wang Fu(王弗)immediately said, "If my mother-in-law were still alive, she definitely wouldn't let you do that." Su Shi felt ashamed and quit the idea. Later, in his essay Prelude to the Red Cliff(前赤壁赋),Su Shi wrote that everything in this world had its own owner. If it did not belong to him," he would not take even a cent.
