Abstract: Su Shi claimed to be “My experience and causes and consequences are roughly similar to Letian”.Sus admiration and imitation of Bai led to his concurrent claims,which can be called a cross generational dialogue between two great literati.So where did this tendency lay the foundation? The author believes that it was in Xuzhou period.This paper takes Xuzhou as the center to sort out and analyze Bai Juyi,a great poet in the eyes of Su Shi.The influence of Bai Juyis poetry on Su Shi,the governor of Xuzhou,can be seen from “I have no worries when I am happy with my life”.From “I was the governor of Zhuchen village”,it can be seen that Su Shi paid tribute to Bai Juyi in a different form.From “The swallow building is empty for three hundred autumns”,it can be seen that Su Shi has organically connected his understanding of the former sage Bai Juyi with himself,present and future.Therefore,Su Shi,who claimed to be “My experience and causes and consequences are roughly similar to Letian”,is worthy of being a very typical and excellent representative in the history of Bai Juyis acceptance.

Key words: Su Shi, Bai Juyi, Xuzhou
