Do the names of Su Shi and Su Zhe mean anything?

The famous poet Su Shi and Zi Zizhan; Su Zhe, whose real name is Zhe, is Ziyou, and the names of Su Shi and Su Zhe are all related to "car". Su Xun explained the reason why Su Shi and Su Zhe were named in the article Named Two Sons: Wheel, spoke, cover and wheel are all important parts of a car, and they are indispensable.

Stone (the crossbar in front of the car, used as an armrest when standing far away from the car) seems dispensable, but without stone, the car is not complete. Su Xun named Su Shi "Shi" in the hope that he would not neglect the seemingly unimportant "exterior decoration".

All cars will have ruts, but they are not in the credit book. But if the car breaks down and the horse dies, the disaster will not affect the rut. Estrus is between misfortune and happiness. Although there is no happiness, there will be no disaster. Su Zhe was named "Zhe", hoping that he could avoid disaster.

The Creative Background of Ming Son

In the sixth year of Li Qing (1046), Su Xun went to Beijing to take the exam. Although Su Xun's intellect can be a "teacher of emperors", it still falls behind in the corrupt imperial court and dark officialdom. As a result, he lost confidence in the imperial examination and the imperial court, and instead pinned his hopes on his two sons. After returning to China the following year, Su Xun wrote a profound Theory of Two Names. Su Shi was eleven and Su Zhe was eight.

Ten years later, Su Xun sent his two sons to Beijing to take the exam. After seeing Zhang off in Chengdu, he listed six questions to test the two brothers, while he peeped through the wall. After they get the question, they think separately. In case of doubt, it refers to asking stone and stone to knock several cases upside down, which means "managing the note"

Also refers to the second question, Su Shi tick the second question, because there is no source, began to answer. After the exam, Zhang said to Su Xun: "The second sons are all geniuses, and the elders are smart and lovely, but what a few people value is that what they have achieved is still alive."
