Located on the southern section of Shahu Street in Dongpo District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, Sansu Temple is the former residence of the three members of the Tang and Song Eight Great Prose Masters, the three great writers of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe. Here, you can experience Su Shi's childhood, his parents' love, and his longing for a home he could never return to. After a thousand years, the familiar scent of ink still lingers in the air, and the traces of time are engraved on every brick and tile. "Don't listen to the sound of the wind and rain, why not sing and walk slowly. A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, who is afraid? Let a straw raincoat and a life of wind and rain be my life. Life is like a journey, and I am also a traveler." "Why is life not happy, just because you haven't read Su Dongpo." Mr. Dongpo's life is the best interpretation of "not being happy with things, not being sad with oneself." No matter where fate throws him, he can always make the best of it and live his most open-minded self. Time has passed for more than 900 years, and he still inspires us.

In the heroic and spiritual Meizhou, you can see the Minjiang River rushing towards the distance day and night on the old Peng Mountain.......... In Meishan City, there is a lovely old man who loves to drink, his face always flushed, generous and open-minded, known as: Su Xu! The old man often gets drunk and sings with his fellow villagers under the big tree, and he is famous locally! Here you can use Su Shi's "The old man is a little crazy, and his chest and gall are still open when he is drunk." to describe his grandfather. Next more famous is, his three sons Su Xun, also got three sons, the eldest son died early, at the age of twenty-seven got the second son Su Shi, and worked hard to study (people say that Su Dongpo is a literary star, even his father was influenced), two years later got another son Su Zhe. They grew up in the best period of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Renzong, this period of the literary world illuminated the entire Song Dynasty, this period of writers influenced the ages. The studious Su Xun named his sons Shi and Zhe, and his words summed up the life influence of the two brothers! He was quite disgusted with the flashy and obscure literary style of the time, coincidentally Ouyang Xiu was also launching an ancient literature movement in the capital. Zhang Fangping, who had been the prime minister, had a grudge with Ouyang Xiu, but still wrote a sincere letter recommending the three Sus, praising Su Xun's brilliant talent, a rare talent, capable of important tasks, and both sons were geniuses. Ouyang Xiu praised Su Xun's "Six Kingdoms Theory" as comparable to Jia Yi, and loved the Su Shi brothers even more, telling people around him: Thirty years later, no one will talk about the old man in the literary world, I will give way to him. Reluctantly leaving the Three Su Shrine, read the world's first love poem again, Zizhan in the distance remembered his love like this: Ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, it's hard to forget. A thousand miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if we meet, we should not know each other, dust on our faces, temples like frost. In the night, the dream suddenly returned to the hometown, the small Xuan window, just dressing up. Look at each other without words, only tears a thousand lines. Expect to break the intestines every year, the moonlit night, short pine ridge.

I originally thought it was just an attraction that relied on historical celebrities to attract traffic, but after entering, I unexpectedly found that the garden scenery was very nice! The garden is larger than expected, with an ancient charm and rich vegetation. It is very suitable for taking pictures of Hanfu. If you have the chance, you must go here to take Hanfu photos. There is an interesting thing. There is a pond with many koi in it. The pond is square. The koi will swim to the direction where someone claps their hands. It is very orderly. ⛰【Attractions Guide】 📍Detailed address: San Su Temple, No. 72, South Section of Shayuhang, Dongpo District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province 🚗Transportation strategy: Self-driving, there is a parking lot (if it is full, there is a private parking lot one or two hundred meters across the street) 🕙Opening hours: 9:00-17:30 💰Ticket price: 40 yuan/person 🌟Highlights: Cultural influence and antique style 📌Tips: Be careful to prevent mosquitoes

#summerdream "Ask you about your life's achievements, Huangzhou, Huizhou, and Danzhou." In his later years, Mr. Dongpo looked back on his life and called the experience of being demoted the three places that made him successful. The talented scholar who ranked first in the imperial examination in the first 100 years of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, experienced ups and downs, and constantly shaped his character. The lows in the eyes of others were what he saw as being content with what happened. But is he really such a free and easy person? Maybe not. Mr. Dongpo made a wish under the litchi tree. When he became successful, it was the day when he returned to his hometown with his brother Su Zhe. However, he did not see the small courtyard in the last days of his life. His mother and wife died here one after another. At that time, the carriages and mails were slow, and there was no time to say goodbye when they separated. You did not expect that you would never be able to go back to your hometown when you were young as a child...· How many nights you lit the lamp, how many times you drank alone under the moon, you looked in the direction of your hometown, missing the people and things there. "Ten years of life and death, I can't forget it without thinking about it. A thousand miles away from the lonely grave, there is no place to talk about the desolation, even if we meet, we should not recognize each other, with dust on our faces and frost on our temples." You left Meishan and became famous all over the world, and your poems, calligraphy and paintings were praised by thousands of people. You have pain, resentment and worries... but you have healed yourself countless times. You are never defeated by difficulties. Those good and bad have made you a peerless talent. Walking through the place where the teacher lived, I felt relieved... "Life is like a journey, and I am also a traveler." Know the secular world, experience the secular world, but not the secular world.

San Su Temple is located in the center of Meishan City, southwest of Sichuan Province, on the south street of Shagang, 80 kilometers away from Chengdu and Leshan respectively. It is the former residence of the famous Northern Song Dynasty literati Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe. In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the residence was changed to a temple to worship the three Sus. It was destroyed by war at the end of the Ming Dynasty and was rebuilt on the original site in the fourth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1665). It has now become a classical garden covering 104 acres. The courtyard of San Su Temple has always been a gathering place for literati and the public to worship sages. After hundreds of years of construction, it is surrounded by red walls, green water, lotus ponds, ancient trees, small bridges, and pavilions hidden in the dense bamboo, forming a unique island dwelling feature of 'three parts water, two parts bamboo'. The pavilions are simple and elegant; the plaques and couplets are meaningful. Inside the temple, there are statues of more than ten people including Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Mrs. Cheng, Ren Cailian, Su Baniang, Wang Fu, Wang Runzhi, Wang Chaoyun, Mrs. Shi and the six sons of the Su family, as well as portraits of Su Weidao, the ancestor of Meishan, and the ancestral tablets of the previous generations; there are wooden rockery halls, ancient wells, ink washing pools, litchi trees and other relics of the Su family; the temple houses and displays a large number of manuscripts, various printed and rubbings of poetry and calligraphy, and other cultural relics and documents of the three Su father and son.

#2024TravelWish In 2023, I visited the Meishan San Su Temple Museum in Sichuan, a place that showcases a rich literary heritage. This trip allowed me to deeply experience the profoundness of Chinese literature, especially the influence of the three literary masters Su Dongpo, Su Shi and Su Xun. The San Su Temple Museum is located at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and has a picturesque scenery. The museum preserves a wealth of cultural relics and exhibits, vividly displaying the literary achievements and life stories of the Three Su brothers. Walking through the museum, you can seem to hear Su Shi’s poems echoing in the valley. In 2024, my deep impression of this trip inspired my love for literature and also stimulated a new desire to travel. I hope to visit the Meishan Three Su Temple Museum again to deeply appreciate the literary realm of Su Dongpo, Su Shi, and Su Xun, and feel their outstanding contributions to the history of Chinese literature🏛️📖. This is what I expect for future travels, and I hope to relive the glorious history of Chinese literature in the Three Su Temple.
