Is Su Shi really hot to death?

Yes, Su Shi was really "hot to death" in those days. But death from heat is not simply death from heatstroke in hot weather. In fact, there are two main theories about Su Shi's death, one is death from illness, and the other is "heat death". Perhaps many people, like the subject, will find it incredible and think that the heat is too exaggerated. But in fact, if you look up some information, you will know that Su Shi's statement of "hot death" must not be groundless.

Su Shi is a brilliant star in the history of China literature. He is a scholar, has created countless classics, and has also served as a bachelor of Hanlin, doing his best as a minister of rites. However, in his later life, he was treated unfairly and was relegated and targeted many times. According to records, in A.D. 1093, Su Shi was demoted as the deputy envoy of Ningyuan Army, then successively demoted, and finally demoted to the undeveloped Hainan Island. At that time, Hainan Island was sultry and humid, with a long journey and was completely uninhabitable. However, Su Shi has a good attitude and enjoys himself in hardships.

Later, when Song Huizong took office, Song Huizong appreciated Su Shi's talent and liked him very much, so he was allowed to return to his hometown in10/kloc-0. However, in those years of Su Shi's exile, due to the harsh environment and difficult conditions, he was getting old and his body was failing. At this time, it was the hot summer season, and Su Shi suffered from heatstroke on his way home.

But in fact, heatstroke can't take Su Shi's life. Eat some food to clear away heat and relieve summer heat and rest for a few days. However, Su Shi took warming drugs at this time, which led to the aggravation of internal fire, the attack of heat toxicity, the persistent high fever, the gradual deterioration of his condition and his final death.
