杭州 / Hangzhou

Hangzhou is one of [[SuShi|苏轼]]’s major official and literary locations in 105.苏东坡：一腔豪迈之气，一肚皮不合时宜. The episode first uses his Hangzhou通判 period to show that outside court service was not pure exile or leisure: Su Shi could write about bamboo shoots and West Lake while still remaining politically visible.

The later Hangzhou return grounds the source’s Local Governance As Care / 地方治理作为照护 claim. Su Shi dredges West Lake, uses silt to build the [[SuCauseway|苏堤]], stores grain for disaster relief, creates medical facilities, researches and distributes medicine, and organizes help for families tempted toward infant abandonment by poverty.
