The name reflects the profound meaning of parents to their children, including their expectations for their children and their wishes to be realized in this life.
What did Su Xun, who is also a father, think in the process of naming his two sons? What do Su Shi and Su Zhe mean? We can get inspiration from Su Xun's words:
Su Xun said, "The spokes cover the wheels, and everyone has a job and a car, but nothing to do." . Although, I didn't see it as a complete car when I went to Stone. In fact, I am afraid that you lack external decoration. Cars in the world are just ruts, and it doesn't matter who contributes to them. Although the valet is dead, suffering is not as good as road. This is a matter between good and bad. I know it's free. "
Stone is an insignificant thing in the car, similar to decorative items, but it is impossible without it. He suggested that Su Shi should be invisible in his later life and not go to extremes in officialdom to avoid attracting others' attention. It won't attract too much attention from others, but it can realize its own value, so it won't cause others' jealousy and lead to death.
Let's continue to see that the wheel will leave a rut when passing the road, and the meaning of Su Zhe's name is related to this rut. This seems insignificant, but it is particularly important in the process of following the map, which represents a clue to explore something. The car is shiny, noisy and the rut is unknown, which means that people should accumulate wealth and thin hair in the search for themselves, just like gold buried in the ground, knowing how to be humble.
Generally speaking, Su Xun named Su Shi and Su Zhe, which not only reflected his deep desire for two children, but also reflected Su Xun's life values as a father. Both names reflected his thought of moderation. As the saying goes, "a strong bird stands out" and "people are afraid of famous pigs and strong ones". Only by maintaining the doctrine of the mean can we better maintain our true colors.
