2. Based on what you have learnt about Fan Zhongyan and Su Shi from this book, what do you think they have in common
Su Shi’s artist name was “Dongpo”. Around 2,700 poems of his poems have survived.
Fan Zhongyan and Su Shi were both prominent figures during the Song Dynasty. They both held important political positions. I think they both took their roles seriously.
3. What do you think are the basic values that influenced these two Chinese scholars in ancient times
I think the basic values that influenced these Chinese scholars were duty to their work and to their country. They also both showed great positivity despite the hardships they faced in their lives.
