A reading party about the Life of Su Shi is scheduled to be held on Nov 22 at Duoyun College of Guangfulin Relic Park in Shanghai Sheshan National Tourist Resort.

Su Shi was a renowned poet in the Song Dynasty (960-1279).

Based on the words written by Su Shi and his contemporaries, the book reveals details of his political career, literary creations and personal interests.

The author Cui Ming will be invited to talk about Su Shi and many of his renowned fans during ancient times.

Cui is an associate professor of the department of Chinese language and literature at Tongji University and member of the Shanghai Classical Literature Society.

Guangfulin Relic Park, located in the south of the Sheshan National Tourist Resort, features a prehistoric cultural relic in the Neolithic Age with an area of 40,000 square meters. It reproduces Shanghai's ancient way of life and ancient Guangfulin culture in Songjiang district.

The relic park includes different exhibition areas showcasing folk culture, religious culture and local historical heritage. The ten sub-exhibition parts opened for the trail operation for local residents include the Guangfulin Culture Museum, Zhiye Temple, the Duoyun Academy and the Pottery Museum.

The Guangfulin Culture Museum includes three buildings which are partially underwater, creating a spectacular scene in the park. The three buildings feature displays of cultural relics, reproductions of folk customs from the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD220) and the story telling of important historical figures in ancient Shanghai.
