Su Xiaomei does not exist in history, but a figure made up by history. At that time, a young man in Qin Shaoyou admired this girl very much. Because he had read Su Xiaomei's poems, he proposed marriage with all kinds of gold, silver and jewels. This kind of man is nothing in Su Xiaomei's eyes, so Su Xiaomei didn't want to marry Qin Shaoyou at first. Later, Su Xiaomei listened to her brother Su Shi's suggestion and agreed to marry Qin Shaoyou, but she didn't want to. On the night of the bridal chamber, Su Xiaomei said that he would test the groom, and only when the groom could answer his three questions could he get married. So the story spread. However, according to various historical data, Su Xiaomei does not exist at all, and it is people's yearning for the independent image of ancient talented women.

Su Xiaomei is a character based on this story. We all know Su Shi and his two brothers, Su Xun and Su Zhe. However, according to historical records, Su Shi has no sister, and he has never mentioned his sister to any friend in his various letters. Therefore, this Su Xiaomei is a character image sorted out by later generations through Su Shi's talent, which is actually a kind of praise for Su Shi's talent.

Qin Shaoyou is familiar with Su Shi, which is why Qin Shaoyou in Su Xiaomei's story has a prototype in history. He is the Qin Guan who made good friends with Su Shi. This Qin Guan's wife is surnamed Xu, and he only has one wife, which is not at all. But Qin Guan became friends with Su Shi because he appreciated his talent. Therefore, later generations wrote the image of Su Xiaomei.

The character Su Xiaomei embodies the ancient people's appreciation and praise for women with independent thoughts and brilliant talents. In ancient times, although many people said that a woman without talent was a virtue, in ancient times, a woman who did not study was looked down upon by her husband. In this story, the author's description of Su Xiaomei is quite vivid. This woman is very talented in the author's pen. She still remembers to test her husband with poetry on her wedding night, and she is also very thoughtful.
