苏洵 / Su Xun
Su Xun appears in 105.苏东坡：一腔豪迈之气，一肚皮不合时宜 as the father of 苏轼 and 苏辙, and as the elder member of the “三苏” literary family. The episode presents the Su household as culturally serious but not a top aristocratic lineage, which helps frame Su Shi’s later rise through talent, family discipline, and patron recognition rather than inherited official dominance.
The source uses Su Xun’s 《名二子说》 to show the gap between parental caution and lived character. He names “轼” and “辙” with warnings about visibility and risk, hoping his sons will avoid unnecessary danger, but the episode stresses that the family’s own upright temperament made political safety difficult in the 北宋 world of reform and factional conflict.
