| Experience Dongpo culture and visit the hometown of the Three Sus. 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.

This is the former residence of Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe, three famous writers of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the house was converted into a temple. It was destroyed by war in the late Ming Dynasty. It was rebuilt on the original site in 1665. It is a cultural holy place for celebrities, scholars and writers of all dynasties to pay homage and pay tribute to the Three Su brothers. The Three Su Temple Museum is the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units and was rated as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration in January 2010. On May 18, 2024, it was rated as a national first-class museum. The Three Su Temple has a rich collection of cultural relics, with nearly 10,000 pieces, including 4 first-class cultural relics, 24 second-class cultural relics, and 696 third-class cultural relics.

I have long wanted to visit the Three Su Temple, and this time I was lucky to encounter the curator's explanation. As we walked along, listening to the life and poetry of Su Shi, the curator was so moved that he even shed tears. After listening to the explanation, I slowly started to wander around. After multiple renovations and expansions, the 'Five-Mu Garden' described by Su Shi has now become a classical garden covering over a hundred mu. The garden is vast, the environment serene, and the bamboo lush, though much of it was built by later generations. The Su family residence is divided into three courtyards. In the center of the first courtyard is the Hall of Offerings, where statues of the Three Sus are enshrined. Moving inward, in front of the Qixian Hall in the second courtyard, there is a yellow thorn tree said to have been planted by Su Xun himself. This tree and the ancient well beside it are the only true relics of the old house. The Laifeng Pavilion in the third courtyard used to be the Su family's study. The sitting statue of Su Dongpo in front of the Pifeng Pavilion on the west side is perfect for taking commemorative photos. Although most of the calligraphy in the Stele Gallery on the east side are replicas, they are still wonderful to behold, including Su Dongpo's four famous steles: 'Poem of Welcoming and Sending the Gods at the Luochi Temple in Liuzhou,' 'Stele of Loyalty Temple,' 'Record of the Drunken Old Man Pavilion,' and 'Record of the Fengle Pavilion.' Overall, the environment here is very comfortable, making it a great place to visit in the summer to escape the heat. I tried the Dongpo Pork, which was large in portion, fragrant, and tender—a delightful experience.

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.
