핵심 특성
주요 업적
송나라를 대표하는 시인이자 산문가로, 당송팔대가의 한 사람으로 꼽힌다. 유배지에서 쓴 「전적벽부」는 그의 글솜씨의 정점으로 평가된다.
송나라를 대표하는 서예가의 한 사람으로 꼽히며, 한 미술관은 그를 이후 중국 미술을 지배하게 되는 문인화 전통의 원류라고 부른다.
항저우 지사로서 가뭄과 기근, 전염병에 곡식 구휼과 병원으로 대응했고, 메워진 서호를 준설해 그 진흙으로 오늘날까지 그의 이름이 붙은 제방을 쌓았다.
삶의 장면들
항저우에 가뭄과 기근, 전염병이 닥치자 그는 지역 쌀 세금을 줄여 달라고 상소하고, 승려 도첩을 팔아 곡식을 마련했으며 의사가 일하는 병원을 세웠다.
이는 직무의 한계 안에서 실용적인 수단을 찾아내는 습관과 일치한다. 자원 활용 성향
하이난으로 유배된 그는 비를 만나 농부의 삿갓과 나막신을 빌려 신었고, 한 학예사는 그가 침착했다고 말하며 이 장면은 그를 대표하는 이미지가 되었다.
이는 상황이 바뀌고 어려워져도 평정을 유지하며 일을 이어 가는 능력과 일치한다. 적응력
전환점
1079년 감찰관들이 그의 시구를 문제 삼아 고발해 그는 투옥되었고, 사형은 면했지만 황저우로 유배되어 둥포라 이름 붙인 땅을 일구며 적벽부를 썼다.
이는 어쩔 수 없이 달라진 환경에 맞춰 삶과 작업을 새로 꾸리는 방식과 일치한다. 적응력

- Song Shi (the official history of the Song dynasty, compiled 1345), chapter 338, biography of Su Shi, read via the Chinese Wikisource text: the standard dynastic account of his offices (judge at Fengxiang, Hanlin academician, prefect of Hangzhou, Mizhou, Xuzhou and Huzhou), his 1079 arrest on charges drawn from his poems, exile to Huangzhou where he farmed the plot he called Dongpo, later exile to Hainan, and Hangzhou famine relief, the dredging of West Lake and the causeway. It also records his own remarks on writing and the compilers' closing judgment. CANONICAL SIGNIFICANCE SOURCE (with the Palace Museum curators' article). Compiled about 240 years after his death from earlier records, so the praise is retrospective, but it is the standard official biography.

- Wang Kaihao, 'A mind of the times', China Daily (22 September 2020), read in full: report on the Palace Museum, Beijing, exhibition on Su Shi's paintings and calligraphy that quotes curator Yu Wentao and deputy director Ren Wanping. It calls him one of the eight great prose masters of the Tang and Song, a leading Song calligrapher and a pioneer of poetry genres, with the Former Ode on the Red Cliffs as the peak of his writing, and says he broke with rigid copying of models.
