Su Shi, a great writer, is remembered and admired by people today for his open-minded and cheerful personality and outstanding literary brilliance. Su Shi's father Su Xun and elder brother Su Zhe are also masters in the literary world, "a father and son with three words, and four masters of articles through the ages", Su Shi, Su Xun and Su Zhe are also collectively known as "Three Sus".

Meishan Sansu Temple, located in Dongpo District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, began construction in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the current building is mainly the remains of the reconstruction of Kangxi for four years. Because the current Sansu Temple is mainly rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, so the style is mainly the Qing Dynasty garden-style literati ancestral hall, the ancestral hall consists of the front hall (the gate of the ancient ancestral hall), the dining hall, the Qixian Hall, the Fengxuan, the east and west wings and the corridor to form a three-entry quadrangle. Therefore, the Sansu Temple is not only an important place for the study of the Sansu and the Sansu culture, but also an important example for the study of the architectural art and garden style of the Qing Dynasty.

The gate of the Sansu Temple is the roof of the rest mountain, and the lintel hangs the golden horizontal plaque of the Zhu bottom, and the above is the three golden characters of the "Sansu Temple" written by the great calligrapher He Shaoji of the Qing Dynasty.

Walk into the gate of the Sansu Temple and enter the main hall, which contains the statues of Su Xun, Su Zhe and Su Shi.

Let's come to Qixian Hall, which is the cultural relics exhibition room of the Su father and son.

After visiting the cultural relics, then come to the wooden rockery hall to rest for a while and enjoy the beautiful scenery here. On the east side of the wooden rockery hall is a pool, there are fish playing in it, and the pond water is connected to the oasis pavilion, the moon pavilion, and the Yunyu building, forming a group of quiet and zen gardens.

Go to the north again, it is the cloak pavilion, the cloak pavilion has a unique shape, it is a heavy eaves rest mountain structure, sit in the north and face south, and the eaves are facing the sky.

About 20 meters opposite the cloak pavilion, there is a statue of Su Dongpo Pantuo, which was made in 1982 by Zhao Shutong, a famous sculptor in Sichuan Province, and this statue is also the perspective focus of the whole garden.

In addition to the literary collection of Su father and son, there are also gold and stone inscriptions or rubbings of the four famous monuments of "Fengle Pavilion", "Drunkard Pavilion", "Biaozhongguan Tablet" and "Luochi Temple Tablet" in the ancestral hall, and several pieces of plaques and calligraphy and painting and other cultural relics are displayed.
