His father, Su Xun, was the "Su Laoquan" mentioned in the "Three Character Classic". The first time I saw him, I was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night. Su Shi in his later years had recalled the situation of reading with his father in his early years, and felt that he was y influenced by his father. Of course, if there is no Su Xun's study, it is impossible to make Su Shi's early years to bear the good tutelage, more can not be years and crown that "learning through the history of the classics, the text of the day thousands of words", it is more likely that there will be a later literary everyone.
Jia You first year (1056), the false age of twenty-one Su Shi went to Beijing for the first time, to participate in the imperial examinations. In the following year, he took the examination of the Ministry of Rites, and won the appreciation of Ouyang Xiu, the examiner, with his article "The Essay on the Punishment and Reward of Loyalty and Thickness", and was awarded the title of high school scholar.
Jia You six years, Su Shi should be in the system of examination, that is, usually called "three years in Beijing", into the third, authorized by the Dali assessor, signing the book Fengxiang House judge. After his father died in Bianjing, he returned to his hometown. In the second year of Xining (1069), he returned to the court, and was still authorized to serve.
Su Shi is not in the capital for several years, the dynasty has undergone great changes. After the reign of Emperor Shenzong, he appointed Wang Anshi to support the change of law. Su Shi's many teachers and friends, including the original appreciation of his mentor Ouyang Xiu, due to the implementation of the new law and the new state Wang Anshi disagreed, was forced to leave the capital. The old rain in the countryside withered, Su Shi eyes see, is no longer his twenty years old when he saw the "world of peace".
Su Shi on his way back to the capital to see the damage of the new law on the ordinary people, so he disagreed with Chancellor Wang Anshi's approach, that the new law can not be convenient to the people, so he wrote a letter of opposition. One of the results of this is that, like his friends and teachers who were forced to leave the capital, he was not allowed to be in the court. So Su Shi asked for his own exile and was transferred to Hangzhou as a general judge.
Su Shi stayed in Hangzhou for three years, and when his term expired, he was transferred to Mizhou, Xuzhou, Huzhou and other places, as governor.
This went on for about ten years, when Su Shi encountered the first disaster of his life. At that time, some people deliberately twisted his verses and made a big fuss about it. In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), less than three months after his arrival in Huzhou, Su Shi was arrested and imprisoned for writing poems that satirized the new law and "slandered the prime minister", which is known as the "Wutai Poetry Case".
Su Shi was jailed for 103 days, and was on the verge of being beheaded. Fortunately, the Northern Song Dynasty set a national policy of not killing ministers during the reign of Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, and Su Shi was able to escape.
After he was released from prison, Su Shi was demoted to the vice minister of the Huangzhou regiment (equivalent to the modern civilian self-defense force vice captain). This position is quite low, and at this time Su Shi after this prison has become discouraged, in the public will lead his family to reclaim the wasteland, planting to help make ends meet. The alias "Dongpo Jushi" is his own name at this time.
In the seventh year of Emperor Shenzong's reign, Su Shi left Huangzhou and went to Ruzhou by imperial decree. As a result of the long and tiring journey, Su Shi's toddler died prematurely. Ruzhou is a long way, and the cost of the road has been exhausted, coupled with the pain of the loss of the son, Su Shi wrote to the court, requesting temporary not to go to Ruzhou, first to Changzhou residence, was approved. When he was ready to return to Changzhou, the death of Emperor Shenzong.
Tetsuzong, the high queen listening to the government, the new party forces fell, Sima Guang was re-initiated as a phase. Su Shi this year to the Ministry of Rites was called back to the court. Half a month in the court, rising housewife, three months later, rising housewife, not then rise Hanlin scholar.
As the saying goes, "Beijing officials are not good." When Su Shi saw the emerging forces desperately trying to suppress Wang Anshi group of characters and the abolition of the new law, that it and the so-called "Wang Party" is just a raccoon, once again to the emperor to advise.
Su Shi to this point is neither tolerated in the new party, but also can not be sympathetic to the old party, and therefore once again to seek external transfer. He took the identity of the Longtugu Pavilion Bachelor, once again to the sixteen-year absence of Hangzhou as the governor. Su Shi in Hangzhou to repair a major water conservancy construction, dredging the West Lake, with the mud dug out of the West Lake next to build a dam, which is the famous "Su Causeway".
Su Shi in Hangzhou is very comfortable, compared to the Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi. But in the sixth year of his reign, he was called back to the court. But soon again because of political disagreement, was sent out to Yingzhou. Yuan You eight years (1093), the new party again in power, he "ridiculed the previous dynasty" charges, relegated to Huizhou settlement, and then relegated to Danzhou (Dan County, Hainan Province), Changhua military settlement. When Emperor Huizong came to the throne, he was transferred to Lianzhou, Shuzhou, and Yongzhou. Yuanfu three years (1101) amnesty, reappointed Chaofeng Lang, north return, died in Changzhou, posthumous name Wenzhong. He was sixty-six years old.

Su Shi's wife was called Wang Fei, a native of Qingshen in Meizhou, Sichuan Province, who was young, beautiful, and well educated and was married at the age of 16 to Su Shi. She can be called Su Shi's right-hand man, there is a "behind the scenes to listen to the speech" story. Su Shi was an open-minded person, treating people with relative negligence, so Wang Fu listened behind the screen, and informed Su Shi of her suggestions. Wang Fu lived with Su Shi for eleven years before he died. Su Shi, according to his father, Su Xun, "in your mother's grave next to the burial", and buried Wang Fu in the mountain personally planted 30,000 pine trees to send condolences. Another ten years later, Su Shi for Wang Fu wrote a eulogy known as the first of the ancient "Jiangchengzi - remembering the dream": ten years of life and death two confused. I don't think about it, but I can't forget it. The lonely grave of a thousand miles away, nowhere to talk about the bleakness. Even if we meet each other, we should not recognize each other, but our faces are full of dust and our temples are like frost. At night, I dream of returning to my hometown. The small window of the pavilion, is combing make-up. I have no words to say to each other, but only a thousand lines of tears. I'm sure you'll be able to find a place where you can break your heart every year, on the night of the bright moon and the short pine tree.
Su Shi's second wife called Wang Leunzhi, is Wang Fu's cousin, married Su Shi in the third year after the death of Wang Fu. She was eleven years younger than Su Shi, since childhood to Su Shi worship, gentle nature, everywhere according to Su Shi. Wang Leunzhi accompanied Su Shi through the most important 25 years of his life, through the Wutai Poetry Case, Huangzhou relegation, in Su Shi's career, with the same sweetness and sweetness **** suffering. Twenty-five years later, Wang Leunzhi also died before Su Shi. Su Shi broke his heart, wrote a tribute: "I said return, line back to the garden. Had not a little, abandoned me and first. Who welcome my door, who feed my field? Has been carried forward to what! Tears dry eyes. I'm so sorry that I've been so ungrateful. But I am still in the same hole, and I still say this. Woe to me!" A hundred days after the death of his wife, asked his friend, the great painter Li Longmian painted ten Lohan statues, in the monks to give her chanting to the afterlife to the land of bliss, will be the ten enough to pass on the Buddha's image dedicated to the soul of his wife. After Su Shi's death, Su Zhe buried him with Wang Leunzhi, realizing the wish of "only with the same cave" in the ritual text.
Su Shi's third wife is called dynasty cloud, was his concubine, than Su Shi twenty-six years younger. In the most difficult time, Su Shi, dynasty cloud has been accompanied by his left and right. Dynasty Yun was Su Shi's confidante, and Su Shi wrote the most poems to Dynasty Yun, calling her "Heavenly Widow Vimal". Unfortunately, after eleven years, Chaoyun died before Su Shi. After Chaoyun's death, Su Shi remained a widower and never married again. In accordance with Chaoyun's wishes, Su Shi buried his wife in the pine forest under the Great Sacred Pagoda of Quchan Temple at the southern foot of the Lonely Mountain in West Lake, Huizhou, and built a six-ru Pavilion next to the tomb to commemorate the couplet is "out of place, but only the Chaoyun can recognize me; play the ancient tune, every time the rain is twice as much as the thought of the Qing". This couplet has a famous allusion: "Dong Po retired from the court one day, after eating. Asked the abdomen Xu line, Gu said: 'Your generation and say is what? A maidservant suddenly said: 'are articles', Po did not think. Another person said: 'full of belly are insight'. Poe also did not think so. To Chaoyun, was said: 'Bachelor a belly is not into the time.' Poe hilarious." Chaoyun tomb has now become a place of interest in Hainan.
〖Su Shi's four sons〗
Wang Fu for Su Shi gave birth to the first son Su Mai, Wang Leunzhi for Su Shi gave birth to the second son Su Hur and the third son Su over. All three sons were raised by Wang Leunzhi. In the fall of 1083 A.D., Chao Yun gave birth to a fourth son, Su Tan, who unfortunately died soon after.

Su Shi examination of the scholar, made a spring and autumn essay, called the "punishment and reward loyalty and generosity of the to the theory," which has the following paragraph:
When Yao, Gaotao for the Shi, will be killing people, Gaotao said, "kill the three", Yao said, "the three", "the three", "the three", "the three", "the three", "the three", "the three", "the three", Yao said, "the".
When Yao was a scholar, Gaotao would kill people, and Yao said, "Kill three of them," but Yao said, "Forgive three of them," so the world was afraid of Gaotao's firmness in enforcing the law, and was happy to see Yao's leniency in using the punishment. Jiu Ji replied, "Father is son, father is son", but he said, "Father is son, father is son". Why Yao doesn't listen to Gaotao's murder, but Jiu Ji replies, "Father is son". Jiu Ji replied, "Father is father, son is son.The examiner, Mei Sheng, was amazed at Su Shi's article, but he was not sure about the above. When Su Shi paid him a visit, Mei asked about the source of the conversation between Yao and Gaotao. Su Shi laughed and replied, "Take it for granted."
In fact, the above allusion from the "Book of Rites", happened in the Duke of Zhou, Su Shi exams remembered to Yao on the, but actually fooled the teacher Mei Sheng, visible merit extraordinary.

Poetry
Su Shi was twenty years old when he went to the capital to take the imperial examination. Six egotistical judges looked down on him and decided to invite Su Shi to a banquet with the intention of teasing him. Su Shi accepted the invitation and went there gladly. Before he could move his chopsticks, one of the men proposed a drinking game in which he had to quote historical figures and events so that he could have a dish all to himself. The remaining five roared their approval. "I'll go first." The older one said, "Jiang Zi Ya Wei Shui Fishing!" He said holding away a plate of fish. "Qin Shubao sells horses in Chang'an," said the second divine one, carrying away horse meat. "Su Ziqing Beihu shepherds sheep," the third took away the mutton without showing any weakness. "Zhang Yide Zhuo County sells meat," roared the fourth, reaching out and stealing the meat. "Guan Yunchang Jingzhou scrapes bones," the fifth couldn't wait to snatch the bones. "Zhuge Liang grows vegetables in Longzhong," the sixth arrogantly served up the last of the same green vegetables. When all the dishes were finished, the six men were ready to laugh at Su Shi as they ate, but Su Shi chanted, "The First Emperor of Qin swallowed the six kingdoms." After saying this, he brought all six dishes to himself and smiled, "Please, brothers and sisters, ah! " The six lifers were dumbfounded.
Out of the blue
When Su Shi was in the capital for his examination at the Congress, the chief examiner was the famous Ouyang Xiu, a famous literary figure of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was overwhelmed by Su Shi's magnificent style of writing when he was approving the papers. In order to prevent favoritism, the examination papers at that time were all written in an anonymous form. So although Ouyang Xiu wanted to choose this essay as the first one, he felt that this essay was very much like the one written by his disciple Zeng Gong, and he was afraid of being criticized, so he ended up rating it as the second one. It was only when the list was issued that Ouyang Xiu realized that the author of the article was Su Shi. After knowing the real situation, Ouyang Xiu regretted it, but Su Shi did not care at all, Su Shi's generous temperament and outstanding talent let Ouyang Xiu marveled: "Such a young talent, really should let him out of the list in the head of the land ah (idiom out of the head of the land comes from here)!" And formally accepted Su Shi as a disciple.
Family gathering
Su Shi high school after the top of the list, Su's three fathers and sons plus three difficult Qin Shaoyou famous Su Xiaomei family gathered in the garden to celebrate, Su Shi's father, Su Xun, the title is set to "cold, incense" two words, each person to write two lines of poetry, the requirements of the scene will be. In order to take the lead, Su Laoquan slowly step to the flower pool, chanting: "water from the stone edge out of cold, the wind from the flowers over the fragrance. ZiYu stood up and picked a petal fragrant wax plum, snapped his fingers, said: "cold word sentence anonymous unknown, the plum blossom popped all the fingers incense." Little sister also went to pick flowers, ZiYu want to laugh at him copying himself, but the little sister cloud: "call the day cuckoo throat and tongue cold, hosting flowers butterfly dream soul fragrance. When he finished, he spread his palm and a butterfly was crushed to death. Daughter characteristics are revealed, everyone shouted in unison. Su Shi, however, with a flick of the stone bench, riding away, Su Laoquan called: "my son, can not answer do not go ah." Words have not fallen, Su Shi has long sound drifting to two sentences: "Whisk stone sitting to the belt cold, tread flower return to the horse hoof fragrance."
Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian lived in the Jinshan Temple. One day, they hit the cake to eat. The two discussed, this time to beat the cake, do not tell the temple in the monk Fo Yin. After a while, the cake is cooked, the two counted the number, first offer the cake to the Goddess of Mercy in front of the seat, attentive to worship, pray. Unexpectedly, Fo Yin has been hidden in the tent of God in advance, while the two kneel down to pray, reach out and steal two pieces of cake. After Su Shi worship, get up to see, missing two pieces of cake, then kneel down again to pray and say: "Goddess of Mercy is so powerful, ate two pieces of cake, why not come out to meet?"
Fo Yin replied in the tent:
"If I have noodles, I will make a few pieces with you to eat, how dare I come empty to disturb?"
Su Dongpo was in Hangzhou and liked to make friends with the monks of the West Lake Temple. He and the Shengshan Temple monk Fo Yin is the best, the two drink wine and poetry, but also often jokes.
Monk Fo Yin delicious, whenever Su Dongpo banquet treats, he is always uninvited. One night, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to tour the West Lake, the boat prepared a lot of food and wine. Cruise offshore, Su Dongpo said to Huang Tingjian with a smile: "Fo Yin every party to arrive, tonight we take the boat to the lake to drink poetry, play a good time, he can not come in any case,". Who knows that the monk Fo Yin had inquired about Su Dong Po to swim with Huang Tingjian in the lake, in advance, when they did not get on the boat, hiding under the cabin board to hide.
The moon in the sky, the cool wind, the fragrance of the lotus lake, the boat slowly came to the three towers of the West Lake, Su Dongpo put the wine glass, flicked his beard, happy to Huang Tingjian said: "Today there is no Buddha India, we are quiet, first a line of the wine order, the first two sentences to use the scene, the last two sentences to use the word "Ja" end. Huang Tingjian said, "Okay! Su Dongpo said first:
The clouds are lifted, the moon comes out, and the sky is full of words. What does the sky have to say?
Huang Tingjian looked at the lake full of lotus flowers, and then said:
Lotus pimples open, swimming fish out, get their own! I've got what I want!
This time, the Buddha's seal under the cabin board has long been unable to hold back, as soon as Huang Tingjian said, the cabin board pushed open, climbed out, said:
Boat boards open, the Buddha's seal out, hold back the people! The people who hold back the people!
Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian were shocked when they saw a man crawling out from underneath the ship's planks, but when they took a closer look, it turned out to be the Buddha's seal, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud at the four lines of the poem he uttered.
Su Dongpo took Fo Yin to sit down and said, "You have hidden well, and you are right, in the end, you have eaten again today!
Su Dongpo pulled Fo Yin to sit down and said, "You're good at hiding, and you're good at being right.
Dongpo fish
Su Shi is not only a literary master, but also very good at gourmet food, in addition to the widely known Dongpo elbow, Su Shi is also good at cooking fish, the fish cooked by the best. Once, su shi elegant pleasure, personally under the cabinet to do fish, just burned, through the window to see huang tingjian came in (huang tingjian is one of the four ancient Chinese font cai su rice huang zongzu, su shi is a close friend, the two are often to fight for fun). Knowing that again to rub rice card oil, so panic to hide the fish to the top of the cupboard. Huang Tingjian entered the door and said, "Today, I ask Zizhan brother for advice, dare I ask how to write Su Shi's Su?" Su Shi responded with a long face, "Su, upper grass, lower left fish and grass." Huang Tingjian added, "Is it okay to put this fish on the right side?" Su Shi said, "That's fine." Huang Tingjian then said, "Then this fish on the top side of the line?" Su Shi said: "There is no fish on top of the reason?" Huang Tingjian pointed to the top of the cupboard, laughed: "Since Zizhan brother also know this reason, then why still put the fish on top?!" Su Shi, who has always been a brilliant mind, was made whole by Huang Tingjian this time!
Fruit and medicine
Soon after his marriage, Su Shi was invited to Huang Tingjian's home as a guest, only to get there, the servant rushed to ask him to go back at once, saying that his wife had an urgent matter. Huang Tingjian was sarcastic, chanting: "Fortunately, early in the (apricot, jujube, plum), and from the (Cistanche is a Chinese medicine)." This sentence contains the names of three fruits and one medicine. Su Shi did not look back, stomped on the saddle and left, while walking, said: "Nai this thing (crabapple, apple genus, cane, persimmon) must be Angelica (Angelica sinensis is a Chinese medicine)." Sigh, Dongpo Jushi's talent is really admirable.
High style and integrity
As a man of letters, it is inevitable that he likes to express his views on politics in a bold and unapologetic manner. Almost synonymous with talent, Su Shi is no exception, as the conservative Su Shi on Wang Anshi's reforms are more wildly bombarded. In the second year of Emperor Shenzong's Yuanfeng reign in the Northern Song Dynasty, the tenth year of the reforms, Wang Anshi was finally unable to sit still in the face of Su Shi's sharp criticism. As a result, Su Shi was deported to Huzhou, then arrested and sent to Bianliang for trial. The Wutai Poetry Prison began, and a large number of writers and scholars who interacted with Su Shi were implicated, even Su Shi's teacher, Ouyang Xiu, who had already passed away, and his family were not spared. Su Shi himself was imprisoned for 100 days. Later, Wang Anshi failed to change the law after his resignation, Song Zhezong Zhao ordered Su Shi on behalf of the Royal Decree, Su Shi is not the slightest political differences in the Royal Decree to communiqué personal vendetta, but instead is a high evaluation of his political opponent, there is a paragraph in the text said: "magnificent text, enough to decorate all the things; outstanding line, enough to move the wind in the four directions." This evaluation of Wang Anshi, Su Shi himself is well deserved. Dongpo Jushi of this high style, the spirit of selflessness is really moved by the future generations.
Life and death line
Su Shi was imprisoned, Emperor Shenzong in order to test him whether there is no hatred of the Son of Heaven, sent a small eunuch pretending to be a prisoner into the prison and sleep with Dong Po. During the daytime meal, the little eunuch teased him with words, Su Shi jail meal eaten with gusto, replied: "Let the heavenly public thunder flashes, my heart stays still!" At night, he fell asleep, the little eunuch and tease: "Su bachelor sleep this kind of bed, can not sigh?!" Su Shi ignored will not, with snoring answer. The little eunuch nudged him awake early the next morning and said, "Congratulations, my lord, you have been pardoned." You know, that night was dangerous as hell. As long as Su Shi had the slightest whining and the unusual behavior of not eating or sleeping well, the danger was imminent. In fact, Emperor Shenzong is also a confused person, sent a eunuch with Su Shi's intelligence and how could not see it?
Dongpo Red Cliff
Su Shi was pardoned, was relegated to Huangzhou. By friends to live in a hut on the East Slope (Dongpo Jushi have come to this), this time Su Shi has a lot of free time, it is everywhere on the subject of fu tour, a lot of great masterpieces such as the "Linjiang Xian", "Bu Shi Zi: Huangzhou Dinghui Yuan Residence" and so on is written during this period of time. Su Shi wrote "Nian Nujiao" during his visit to the Red Cliff in Huangzhou, which has become an ancient masterpiece. However, although Su Shi was a learned man, he made a fatal mistake in geography: the Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms was in the upper reaches of Wuhan, while the Red Cliff of Huangzhou was in the lower reaches of Wuhan, so this Red Cliff was not the other Red Cliff. However, the mistake will be wrong, Su Shi inscription of this Red Cliff is now called Dongpo Red Cliff.
Cultivation
After the restoration of conservatives in the court, the famous Northern Song writer Sima Guang, famous for smashing cylinders, was reappointed to the throne, and the new law was abolished wholesale. At this time, the same as the conservative Su Shi, but the new law can not be rejected in its entirety, there should be good grates slag differentiated treatment, so with Sima Guang fierce conflict, once again deported to Guazhou. Although Su Shi believes in Buddhism, but do not like monks. Heard of Guazhou Jinshan Temple, a monk with the name of Fo Yin's fame, Su Shi heard unconvinced, decided to go to the mountain will be a little old monk! In the temple, Su Shi from the emperor to the civil and military officials, from the governance of the country to the way of life. Monk quietly listening, Su Shi see Fo Yin has not said a word from the heart a little despise him. Mind: everyone says he has the ability, the original straw bag a, to come here is to cheat a few incense money it! The topic of conversation slowly pulled to the Buddha, this time Fo Yin asked: "in the eyes of Mr. Lao Na should be a what kind of person?" Su Shi is full of contempt, casually replied, "You seem capable in the eyes of the general public, but that's because they are shallow, in reality, you are just a liar who plays around every day and has no real talent!" Fo Yin smiled faintly and was silent. Su Shi saw him this way not only more despise monks, and their own complacency, then multiplied by asking: "In your eyes I Su Daoshi and what is a person?" "You are a very learned and cultivated man, Lao Na is inferior to himself!" Fo Yin replied. After returning home, Su Shi smugly told his little sister about how to how to make monks in the morning, Su little sister laughed so much that she spewed out her rice after hearing it. Su Shi confused busy asked, "Why is the little sister laughing?" "You belittled the monk he not only did not get angry but praised you a bit, you say who has cultivation? You think you're better than others? You still think you're better than others? Shame on you you don't even know!" . Su Shi listened to the sudden realization, and from then on became a bosom friend with Master Fo Yin.
'Corpse' not yet cold

Couplets to retreat from the enemy
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song rate invites the Liao state to encroach. The court of peace but attracted a Liao state messenger, out of the first couplet to the Song people to answer: three light, sun, moon and stars. If he could answer the next couplet, he would withdraw his troops and make peace. This line seems simple, but it is not easy to match. The numbers in the first line correspond to the things in the second line, while the numbers in the second line correspond to things that are more than three or less than three. Su Shi, who was returning to the capital to report on his duties, skillfully matched the couplet with a stroke of the pen: "Ode to the Four Poems and Their Elegance". The beauty of this couplet lies in the fact that there are only three names for the "Four Poems": "Ode to Wind and Elegance", because in the Classic of Poetry, there are "Daya" and "Xiao Ya", which are collectively known as "The Great Elegance" and "The Small Elegance", respectively. "and "Little Elegance", collectively known as "Elegance". In addition, "State Wind", "Ode" *** four parts, so the "Classic of Poetry" is also known as "four poems". The pair of sentences is wonderful, Liao makes admiration to the extreme.

Huang Tingjian grabbed the right: light wind dancing willow, light moon hidden plum blossom. My sister then filled in: light wind shaking willow, light moon reflecting plum blossoms. Su Shi thought for a moment and immediately responded by filling in the words to make it: light wind supporting the willow, light moon lost plum blossoms. Throughout the three couplets, Su Shi is the most wonderful: "help" word not only write the wind and willow of the soft and delicate, and write the wind and willow of the intimacy of the state, and therefore more vivid image; "lost" word is also more "hidden "The word "lost" is also more than "hidden" word apt, both emphasized the moonlight bright, but also take into account the clean plum blossoms, highlighting the two into one color of the scene, more appropriate and relevant.
The plan of his people
Su Shi's best friend Fo Yin. Although he was a monk, he did not avoid meat and wine. This day, Fo Yin fried fish wine, coincidentally, Su Shi came to visit. Fo Yin rushed to hide the fish in the big chime (wooden fish) under.

The word "bi-monthly" was combined with the word "pals". Su Shi knew that his little sister was joking with himself, and immediately said: little sister in front of the window to catch half the wind. "Half" to "double", "wind" to "moon", very appropriate. Interestingly, the traditional Chinese character for "wind" is "风", which is half
