The surname 苏
From Kunwu, the gleaming copper-line of legend, whose house served Zhou as its chief justice; Fen Sheng, the line’s heir, held the office of Minister of Justice under the first Zhou kings and was planted at the town of Su (today’s Wen county, Henan). When the state of Su was gone, its people kept it. Daomei and the Dongpo of the Su house are the two women-poets the Tang never had a monopoly on.
