In the fourth year of Yuanyou (1089), he went to Hangzhou, and later changed his knowledge to Yingzhou, Yangzhou and Dingzhou.

In the eighth year of Yuanyou (1093), Zhezong was in charge of his own affairs and was demoted to Huizhou (today's Huiyang, Guangdong) and then to Changhua Army (today's Danzhou City, Hainan).

Huizong ascended the throne and returned to the north after being pardoned. He died in Changzhou (now Jiangsu Province) in 1101, the first year of Jianzhong's reign, at the age of sixty-six, and was buried in Jiacheng County, Ruzhou (now Jiaxian County, Henan Province).

.

"Three Su" refers to three of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties. The Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties are the collective name for the eight representative prose writers in the Tang and Song Dynasties, namely Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Che in the Song Dynasty (

Su Xun is the father of Su Shi, Su Che's brother), Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong (divided into two families of Tang Dynasty and six families of Song Dynasty), who pioneered a bold style of poetry and outstanding poetry.

Xin Qiji is also called "Su Xin". In poetry, he is also called "Su Huang" with Huang Tingjian. His works include "Dongpo Seven Collections" and "Dongpo Yuefu". In politics, Sima Guang is the leader.

The old party of Su Shi made great achievements in calligraphy. Together with Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Xiang, he was known as the "Four Masters of Song Dynasty". In the first year of Jiayou (1056), Su Shi, who was twenty-one years old, went to Beijing for the first time.

The following year, he took the examination of the Ministry of Rites, and won the appreciation of the examiner Ouyang Xiu with his essay "On the Perfection of Honesty in Punishments and Rewards", but accidentally got the second place in the high school Jinshi in the sixth year of Jiayou (1061).

Years), Su Shi took the high school examination, which is usually called the "Three Years of Beijing Examination", and entered the third class. He was awarded the title of "No. 1 in a century" and was awarded the title of Dali Judge and Fengxiang Prefecture Judge. Later, his father died of illness in Bianjing.

In the second year of Xining (1069), Ding You returned to the court after completing his service and was still granted his post. When he entered the court as an official, the political crisis began to appear in the Northern Song Dynasty. Behind the prosperity was a crisis.

When Shenzong came to the throne, he appointed Wang Anshi to support the reform. Many of Su Shi's mentors, including his mentor Ouyang Xiu, had political disagreements with the new prime minister Wang Anshi on the implementation of the new law.

What he saw was no longer the "peaceful world" he had seen when he was twenty. Because Su Shi saw the damage caused by the new law to ordinary people on his way back to Beijing, he disagreed with Wang Anshi's approach, believing that the new law could not facilitate the people.

He wrote a letter to object. One result of this was that he was no longer tolerated by the court like his mentors who were forced to leave Beijing. So Su Shi asked to be transferred to Hangzhou and stayed in Hangzhou for three years.

Later, he was transferred to Mizhou, Xuzhou, Huzhou and other places as governor. His political achievements were outstanding and he was deeply popular among the people. This lasted for about ten years. At that time, someone (Li Ding and others) deliberately encountered Su Shi.

His poems were twisted and made a big fuss. In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), less than three months after Su Shi arrived in Huzhou, he was arrested and imprisoned for writing poems that satirized the new law and "slandered the emperor and prime minister in writing".

"Wutai Poetry Case". Su Shi was imprisoned for 103 days and was almost on the verge of being beheaded. Fortunately, the Northern Song Dynasty made a national policy not to kill scholar-bureaucrats during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, so Su Shi escaped from prison.

He was demoted to deputy envoy of the Huangzhou Tuanlian (equivalent to the deputy captain of the modern civil self-defense force). This position was quite humble. At this time, Su Shi had become discouraged after going to prison. During his free time, he led his family to reclaim a piece of slope land in the east of the city.

It was at this time that Su Shi gave him the nickname "Dongpo Jushi" by farming.

Due to the exhaustion of the journey, Su Shi's infant died.

The road to Ruzhou was far away, and the travel expenses had been exhausted. Coupled with the pain of losing his son, Su Shi wrote to the court, requesting not to go to Ruzhou for the time being, but to live in Changzhou first, which was later approved.

When he was about to return south to Changzhou, Shenzong died.

Zhezong ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Gao took over the government, the New Party collapsed, and Sima Guang was re-elected as prime minister.

Su Shi was summoned back to the court that year as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites.
