The main conflict between Nushi and Su Shi is actually a matter of political reform. Although there were many people who opposed Wang Anshi's reform at that time, Su Shi was also one of them, but Su Shi was different from ordinary people's brainless opposition. The main difference between Su Shi and Wang Anshi was in the reform of fiscal and taxation policies. Wang Anshi carried out monetization reforms such as taxes, errands, and military service, and also provided small loans to farmers, while Su Shi mainly retained traditional forms such as labor service, and believed that the government should not There are too many concerns about small profits and the people.

But later Wang Anshi was demoted to Hepu. The folk legend is that Su Shi once went to Wang Anshi's study and saw two poems on Wang Anshi's desk: The bright moon barks on the branches, and the yellow dog lies in the heart of the flower. Su Shi was so proud that he changed it to the bright moon shining in the sky and the yellow dog lying in the shade of the flowers. This behavior made Nian Shi extremely dissatisfied, so he used this reason to demote Su Shi to Hepu. Some people think that Wang Anshi cares too much about these trivial matters. In fact, this is not the case. This is caused by the contradiction in the reform between the two.

In fact, although Wang Anshi and Su Shi had different political opinions, they both knew that the other one was thinking about the country. So when someone in the court wanted to frame Su Shi, he took the initiative to become Su Shi. excuse. Although the two are from different political parties, they are colleagues who recognize each other. However, neither of them was able to realize their ideals in the end. Su Shi spent his youth in a hurry while being demoted, and Wang Anshi was unable to complete his reforms after the Queen Mother took over due to the death of Shenzong.

Although the two have great political conflicts, they are people of the same character. I believe that if I say that the two of them did not have too many political conflicts, they would have become very good friends in private. But no matter what, they were both people who cared about the world at that time. In the end, Su Shi was also a minor official, and gradually moved away from the court. Wang Anshi himself did not realize the reform, and both of them had regrets.
