In the first year of Jia (1056), in the late spring of March, the 19-year-old young man Su Shi bid farewell to his mother and neighbors, and followed his father Su Xun along the Shu Road with his younger brother Su Zhe to the north, through the Dasan Pass to Guanzhong, all the way to Beijing. In the second year of Jia (1057), in Bianliang, the land of gold dust, he participated in the first Jinshi examination in his life. Luck came, Ouyang Xiu sat in the main exam, and Mei Yaochen served as the junior examiner. Su Shi's "On the Punishment and Reward of Loyalty" showed a fresh style in the examination room, successfully attracted the attention of Mei Yaochen, the detailed official, and changed Su Shi's fate.
In the year of the weak crown, Su Shi's reputation was not only due to his talent, but also to the recognition of Ouyang Xiu. However, the first encounter turned out to be an oolong. After Ouyang Xiu finished reading Su Shi's "The Treatise on Punishment and Rewarding Loyalty", he was amazed by his steady and natural style and unique insights, and wanted to rank it at the top of the list. However, due to the principle of confidentiality of candidates' names, he was worried that the author of this article was his own student, especially Zeng Gong. In order to avoid suspicion, he put Su Juan second. This misunderstanding caused Su Shi to miss the top spot, but he won the top spot in the later "Spring and Autumn" exam and was finally recognized.
After the brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe successfully passed the provincial examination, they participated in the Golden Palace Imperial Examination and faced the Son of Heaven Renzong. At the site of the court test, after the Su brothers and other Jinshi worshiped Renzong, they ushered in the test of the Son of Heaven's advice. The topics of the palace examination include "The Fu of the Civil Supervisor", "The Poetry of the Luan Dao", and "The Reaffirmation of the Theory of Xun Life". Although there is no record at the specific scene, when the list was released on March 14, Su Shi was on the list. This result shows that Su Shi left a good impression on Song Renzong.
From the provincial examination to the court examination, although there were twists and turns, the talent of the young Su Shi was praised by Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary world. After the title of the gold list, the jinshi submitted a letter of thanks to Ouyang Xiu according to the rules to express their kindness. Su Shi's "Xie Ouyang Neihan Book" shocked Ouyang Xiu again. This thank-you letter, which is less than 500 words, concisely summarizes the history of the development of literature in the Great Song Dynasty, pointing out that the literary world was influenced by the Five Dynasties period, and the customs were ruined, and the imperial court cleaned up the source and restored the simple literary style. For Ouyang Xiu, the "Qingli Doctor" who is committed to innovation, Su Shi's ability to control words is highly praised. In his letter to Mei Yaochen, Ouyang Xiu praised Su Shi beyond words, saying that reading his book makes people sweat, which is really gratifying.
Ouyang Xiu's appreciation for this junior was beyond words, and he almost wanted him to get ahead immediately and show his strength. However, Su Shi soon brought him a "surprise" that almost changed his opinion. When sentencing the volume, Su Shi mentioned an allusion in "The Treatise on Punishment and Reward for Loyalty", telling that Gao Tao wanted to kill a criminal three times in the era of Emperor Yao, but Emperor Yao pardoned him three times. Ouyang Xiu was unfamiliar with this allusion, and asked Mei Yaochen, but the two couldn't recall, thinking that they were old, so they gave up. However, after Su Shi handed over the "Xie Ouyang Neihan Book", Ouyang Xiu turned out the allusion when he met him and asked him what book it came from. Su Shi replied: "From the "Later Han Book Kong Rong Biography" Note!."This answer made Ouyang Xiu feel pleasantly surprised and surprised.
In that year, Cao Cao destroyed the Yuan clan and gave Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Ji to Cao Pi. Kong Rong said: "Back then, King Wu cut down and gave Daji to the Duke of Zhou. Cao Cao asked what the classic came from, and Kong Rong replied: "I made it up based on today's events, just take it for granted." Su Shi used this example to explain his allusions**, which made Ouyang Xiu sigh that he was good at reading and using books. Ouyang Xiu talked about this matter many times, praising Su Shi as "good at reading and making good use of books", and believed that his articles would be unique in the world.
Under the guidance of Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi gradually emerged on the road of literature. He conquered the leaders of the literary world with his talent and wit and embarked on the road of counterattack. This Bashu young man has won praise and opportunities for himself with his erudition and practical qualities. Although his counterattack was full of twists and turns, it paved the way for him to stand alone in the literary world in the future.

First of all, Su Shi's literary talent played a decisive role in the road of counterattack. When he was only 19 years old, he bid farewell to his hometown and went north with his father to Beijing. In Bianliang, the land of gold dust, he participated in the first Jinshi exam in his life. In this exam, Su Shi showed a fresh and natural style of writing and unique insights, and successfully attracted the attention of Ouyang Xiu, a leader in the literary world.

All this stems from Su Shi's extraordinary literary talent, which made him a bright star in the literary world at a young age.
Secondly, Su Shi's resourcefulness and flexible response played a key role in the road to counterattack. In the process of inquiring on the gold list, Ouyang Xiu, as the chief examiner, appreciated Su Shi's "The Theory of Punishment and Loyalty", and wanted to rank it as the top of the list. However, because of the principle of confidentiality of names, he was worried that if he was ranked first, he might be accused of favoring his students, so he placed him second. This oolong almost made Su Shi miss out on the top of the list. However, in the follow-up "Spring and Autumn" exam, Su Shi won the top spot, showing his ability to deal with the situation in the examination room with wit. Not only is he a scholar of literature, but he is also able to navigate the complex examination environment and successfully cope with various challenges.
Finally, Su Shi showed a deep understanding of the development of literature in his letter of thanks, "The Book of Xie Ouyang Neihan", which demonstrated his critical spirit of tradition. In this letter, which is less than 500 words, Su Shi succinctly summarized the development of the literature of the Great Song Dynasty, pointing out that the literary world was influenced by the Five Dynasties period, and the customs were ruined, and then the imperial court cleaned up the source and restored the simple literary style. This insight into history and understanding of the trend of the times once again shows Su Shi's outstanding literary vision. His gratitude to Ouyang Xiu and his in-depth thinking about the development of literature made him even more unique on the road of literature.
Overall, Su Shi's counterattack is a journey full of legends. His literary talent, resourcefulness, and deep understanding of literary development formed the cornerstone of his success in counterattacking. Since the beginning of Jiayuan, Su Shi has become a giant in the history of Chinese literature with his unique charm and talent, and has set a lofty model for future generations.
