Speaking of Zhucheng in Shandong Province, this place is not only rich in economic strength, but also has many famous people in history, such as Zhang Zeduan, the painter of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, and Liu Yong, the prime minister, all of whom are from Zhucheng. Even Su Shi, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, liked Zhucheng very much. We are very familiar with Jiangchengzi and Mink Head, both of which were written in Zhucheng. From the poems written by Su Shi in Zhucheng, we can find his great ambition and satisfaction with his present life, which shows that Su Shi still has great feelings for Zhucheng in Shandong.

First, Su Shi and Zhucheng first met. To say that the relationship between Su Shi and Zhucheng in Shandong Province began with Su Shi taking filial piety as his father. After Su Shi's father died, Su Shi returned to Beijing after three years of filial piety. At this time, Wang Anshi's political reform has just begun to be implemented. At that time, many friends of Su Shi, even Ouyang Xiu, a great writer of Su Shi, were banished from Beijing for opposing the new political reform. The imperial court at this time is no longer what it was three years ago. Later, Su Shi wrote to the emperor complaining about the shortcomings of the new law. Wang Anshi was furious because others framed Su Shi in front of the emperor, so Su Shi asked to leave Beijing to be an official in Hangzhou. Three years later, Su Shi was transferred to Zhucheng, Shandong Province as the magistrate.

Second, the feelings between Su Shi and Zhucheng Su Shi only stayed in Zhucheng for a short period of two years, but this was the peak of Su Shi's poetry creation in his life. In the past two years, there are more than 200 poems left in the world, including Jiangchengzi and Water Turn around, which we know, all written during this period. From the poem, we can feel Su Shi's ambition to serve the imperial court. Although he is not as high-spirited as Zhucheng as an official in Beijing, he is very comfortable in a small place. In fact, Su Shi was sent to Zhucheng as an official, and the court valued him more, because Zhucheng was a prosperous city with a large population. In an agricultural developed society, a large population represents a better development of the city.

Although Su Shi was sent to Zhucheng, Shandong Province as an official, we read his inner ambition and ambition from the poems written by Su Shi in Zhucheng, and also saw his feelings for Zhucheng from the descriptions in the poems. Although he only stayed in Zhucheng for two years, these two years made him feel deeply about Zhucheng.
