Sansu Temple is the former residence of famous writers Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Three Su" occupies three seats in "Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties".

In particular, Su Shi, who has written abundantly throughout his life, and his works have been widely circulated, has a profound impact on the Chinese humanistic spirit.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has quoted Su Shi's poems many times, and this time he went to Sichuan for inspection and specially visited Sansu Temple.

 In the heart of every Chinese, there is a Su Dongpo

  "The great river goes east, the waves are washed away, and there are romantic figures through the ages" "I hope that people will last a long time and live together in a thousand miles"... The poems of Su Shi, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, have flowed for thousands of years, infiltrated the hearts of generations of Chinese people, and spread all over the world.

  Some people say that every Chinese has a Su Dongpo in their hearts.

  Su Shi, who calls himself "Jushi of Dongpo", is a rare generalist and all-rounder in the history of Chinese culture.

Poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting, all have extremely high attainments.

  Chinese culture gave birth to Su Shi.

Su Shi draws on the essence of tradition, integrates the theories of various schools, integrates his own practice, opens up new aspects of the times, and further expands Chinese culture.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping has quoted Su Shi's poems on different occasions - "Belly has poetry and calligraphy from China".

He said that the cohesion of the 1.4 billion Chinese people is so strong because we have a broad and profound Chinese culture and Chinese spirit, which is the source of our cultural confidence.

  Over a thousand years, Dongpo's cultural charm has remained unchanged.

Walking on Meishan, you will find the marks of Dongpo everywhere.

Sansu Temple is the birthplace of Dongpo culture and a popular check-in place for Dongpo fans.

At Dongpo Primary School in Meishan City, 20 of Su Shi's poems were engraved into the campus's "Avenue of Poetry and Books".

Dongpo City Wetland Park, "Three Su" stories and literary creations are integrated into the landscape...

  In January this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping said during an inspection in the ancient city of Pingyao, Shanxi, that historical and cultural heritage carries the genes and blood of the Chinese nation, and it belongs not only to our generation, but also to future generations.

 The people, the foundation of the world

  In addition to being a writer, Su Shi also has an identity - a politician.

Su Shi, who was born in a family of common people, established the people-oriented feelings of asking for orders for the people in his youth, and wrote the poems of "people are the foundation of the world", which is also his political philosophy throughout his life.

  Having been an official for 40 years, whether in the imperial court or in the local area, Su Shi has always adhered to the principle of "serving as an official for the benefit of one party", and at the same time adhering to the principle of "merit is greed, and deed is honest".

  Su Shi advocated reform, and proposed a series of reform plans in terms of land, finance, politics, military and other aspects in response to the situation of the Northern Song society at that time, such as "the lack of wealth, the lack of strong soldiers, and the choice of officials".

Starting from the idea of ​​"people-oriented", he opposed not only Wang Anshi's stormy reforms, but also Sima Guang's indiscriminate "abolishing new laws".

Therefore, Su Shi was not tolerated by the old and new parties, and he was demoted several times, but he was "in the dark and raining for his life".

Building embankments in Hangzhou, fighting floods in Xuzhou, and building bridges in Huizhou to control water... Many of the projects he led will benefit the future and are still in play to this day.

  Anti-corruption and honesty, national governance, rule of law, morality, and official governance in Chinese history can be used as a useful reference for the new era.

General Secretary Xi Jinping once quoted Su Shi's poems full of political wisdom on many occasions: "Things must first rot, and then insects grow", emphasizing the importance of building a clean and clean government; Nothing happens, but in fact there are unforeseen worries”, reminding cadres to plan ahead and be prepared for danger in times of safety;

  Dongpo's character, Mianze future generations.

Keep the original intention, always unchanged

  In the Sansu Temple Museum, there is a huge stone engraved with the four characters of "Keep your original heart".

"Keeping the original intention" comes from the "Hangzhou Summoning and Begging County" written by Su Shi.

  At that time, Su Shi was being attacked by both the old and the new.

Su Shi expressed his political integrity by stating that "if ministers keep their original intentions and never change, they will turn their attention to others and have no sense of peace".

He must keep his original intention, return to the people, and do something real.

  "Ask you about your career in life, Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou".

Su Shi's life was ups and downs, and he was demoted many times.

Despite the adversity, Su Shi has always adhered to the original intention of serving the country and the people.

  Whether it is a person or a political party, the most rare thing is that after the vicissitudes of life, the original intention does not change, and the original color remains the same after the vicissitudes of life.

General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "The original intention and mission of the Chinese Communists is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation."

  Nearly a thousand years later, the Chinese Communists have given a new connotation to the "original aspiration".

  In October 2019, at the Second Plenary Session of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping quoted a sentence of Su Shi in "On Thinking and Governance": "It is the most difficult to commit it, and the most difficult thing to do is to make it far." And explained the meaning of this sentence: "Tack for the most difficult and pursue the most lofty goals."

  This sentence, today, has a heavy meaning.
