Su Shun-qin (English spelling)

Japanese: 蘇舜欽 - そしゅんきん（英語表記）Su Shun-qin

[Raw] Onaka Shofu 1 (1008)
[Died] Keireki 8 (1048)
A poet of the Northern Song Dynasty in China. Born in Kaifeng (Henan Province). His pen name was Zimei. His pen name was Canglangweng. He passed the Jinshi examination in the first year of the Jingyou era (1034). He was recommended by Fan Zhongyan and his father-in-law, the Prime Minister Du Yan, who recognized his talent, and played an active role as a young bureaucrat. However, he was hated by his political opponents and banished for embezzling government property. He built a house in Suzhou called Canglang Pavilion and indulged in the arts. He was pardoned two years later and became the Chief Clerk of Huzhou, but he died before he could take up his post. As a poet, he was under the patronage of Ouyang Xiu, and together with Mei Yaochen, who was also known as "Su Mei," he assisted him in pioneering Song poetry. Reflecting his heroic character, his style of poetry was somewhat rough but unrestrained and powerful, and he was also famous as a calligrapher. His "Collection of Su Xueshi Wenshu" (16 volumes) still exists.

中国，北宋の詩人。開封 (河南省) の人。字，子美。号，滄浪翁。景祐1 (1034) 年進士に及第。その才能を認めた范仲淹や義父の宰相杜衍に推され若手官僚として活躍した。しかし政敵に憎まれ，官物横領のかどで追放され，蘇州に滄浪亭と名づける家を造り，風流にふけった。2年後許されて湖州長史となったが，赴任しないうちに没した。詩人としては欧陽修の庇護を受け，「蘇梅」と並称された梅堯臣とともにこれを助け，宋詩を開拓した。豪傑肌の性格を反映し，詩風もややきめはあらいが奔放で力強く，書家としても高名。『蘇学士文集』 (16巻) が現存する。
