When Su Dongpo took office in Hangzhou, someone complained that someone owed him 20 thousand yuan. Su Dongpo summoned people who owed money to ask, saying, "My family made a living as a fan, and it happened that my father died. Since this spring, it has rained every day and the weather is very cold. The fans made can't be sold. It is not intentional to owe money. " Dongpo looked at him carefully for a long time and said to him, "You bring the fan you made for the time being, and I will help you open the market and sell it."

After a while, the fan came. Su Dongpo took twenty blank armor fans, wrote a cursive script with a pen, and drew dead wood and bamboo stones with official documents, which was completed in a short time. Say to the man, "Go outside and sell the fan and pay back the money." The man was moved to tears with a fan. As soon as he left home, many people rushed to buy fans with 1000 yuan, which was soon sold out.
