Su Shi likes Sima Guang very much, why does he still sarcastically mock Sima Guang for turtle kicki

Mainly because Sima Guang denied all of Wang Anshi's changes at that time, Sima Guang would use such a sentence to satirize him, sarcastically mocking him regardless of good or bad.

Although Su Shi likes Sima Guang very much, he has his own clear political understanding, and in his opinion, it is very unwise for Sima Guang to comprehensively deny Wang Anshi's approach.

Because Su Shi is really straightforward, no matter who he is, he can't help but ridicule and ridicule whenever there are inappropriate words and deeds, and Su Shi insists on seeking truth from facts and speaking impartially about the government, and because Sima Guang at that time denied Wang Anshi's changes regardless of whether it was good or bad.

Once, Su Shi and Sima Guang had a heated debate again, Su Shi sarcastically mocked Sima Guang for "turtle kicking", but the private relationship between the two was very deep. Because both of them are gentlemen, although their political views are different.

Su Shi is frugal and upright, out of nature. Speaking upright, on Wang Anshi's change of law, he bluntly said Sima Guang's shortcomings, thinking that Sima Guang was stubborn and stubborn in his thinking.

The main reason is that Sima Guang completely denied Wang Anshi's new law at that time, which was inconsistent with Su Shi's opinion, so Su Shi used such a sentence to sarcastically mock him, satirizing him regardless of good or bad.

Although Su Shi criticized Wang Anshi's mistakes in changing the law, Sima Guang's suppression of Wang Anshi's reform faction was too harsh and completely rejected the new law, which was different from Su Shi's political views.

Because the two of them discussed the problem at that time, and their opinions were always disagreeable, Su Shi thought that Sima Guang couldn't tell the difference between good and bad like "suffocating", so he invented this problem himself, but in fact, there was no great malice.

Although he respected Sima Guang very much, he was also not right about things, at that time, Sima Guang attacked and suppressed the law changers indiscriminately, Su Shi disagreed, so he used "turtle kicking" to ridicule him.

He respects Sima Guang very much, but he has his own bottom line, style of doing things, does not seek fame and fortune, and only does practical things for the people.

Su Shi and Sima Guang have serious political differences, and political contradictions will inevitably affect their private personal lives, so Su Shi will sarcastically mock Sima Guang for "turtle fighting", which means that Sima Guang follows the old and pedantic.

Su Shi would not blindly obey Sima Guang because he respected him, because of Sima Guang's conservatism, Su Shi would say so.

Su Shi and Sima Guang have no personal grudges, and there is only political opinion between them, so it is normal to call their respectable enemies with contempt.
