Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe, eight famous poets in Tang and Song Dynasties, are famous stories in Northern Song Dynasty, and Su Xiaomei is Su Shi's sister, a famous talented woman. It is said that Su Xiaomei is brilliant and intelligent, and there are many stories about her among the people. But Su Shi has no sister in history, so who is the prototype of Su Xiaomei? Some people say that the prototype is Su Shi, a talented woman, while others say that it was invented by later generations to commemorate Su Shi's third sister Su Ba Niang.

1, Su Xiaomei recorded by unofficial history.

According to unofficial history's records, during the Jiayou period in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a talented woman whose real name was Su Shi. This woman is proficient in poetry, embroidery, chess and calligraphy, and it is even said that she is more talented than Su Shi. In the folk, Su Xiaomei is known as the reincarnation of Xuan Nv in nine days. When Su Xiaomei reached marriageable age, he also met the right person. They met and fell in love, and Qin Shaoyou appreciated Su Xiaomei's talent. On their wedding night, Su Xiaomei tried to recite a poem to the groom, but it was difficult for Qin Shaoyou to understand it. Finally, he made a beautiful sentence at the request of Su Xiaomei.

2. Historians' inference

However, some modern experts believe that the records about Su Xiaomei were invented by later generations, just because in the historical records, Su Shi has no sisters, only three sisters, while historical experts believe that the so-called Su Xiaomei may be a good wish for Miss Su Xiaosan. What is Miss Su Jiasan's nickname? Eight Niang? , is also a talented woman, good at poetry and songs, but Su Ba Niang died of illness a year after marrying her son.

However, according to historical records, Qin Shaoyou was 29 years old when he met Su Shi, so it was impossible to know Su Ba Niang. Moreover, according to historical records, his wife's surname is not Su, but Xu. Most people speculate that Su Ba Niang's talent is fascinating, but her fate is ill-fated. Out of sympathy for Su Ba Niang, later scholars invented the love story between Su Ba Niang and Qin Shaoyou.
