Inside Story

This was a letter Tungpo wrote to his youngest son (Su Kuo). He told his son that his uncle (Su Tse) had dreamed that he received a poem written by Li Shihnin. He wrote it down and sent to Su Kuo. At that time, Tungpo was demoted, but Shen Chung died later and Che Chung inherited the crown. Tungpo was then favored by the emperor and was granted important administration authority. Su Tse’s dream seemed to be a prediction on Tungpo’s return to the regime.
