The place where Su Dongpo was finally demoted was Hainan Island, which made him disheartened. He started a school here and did a lot of good things.
Su Shi was born in Meishan, Meizhou, Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Sichuanese, a famous writer, calligrapher and painter. Su Dongpo left Sichuan for Beijing for the first time when he was twenty-one years old, and took the imperial examination in the imperial court. In the second year, he won the second place in the Jinshi exam hosted by Ouyang Xiu, and became a Jinshi in Jiayou years. Later, he suffered a series of bad luck in his life.
The first experience was that he was demoted because he disagreed with Wang Anshi's political views. The realization of this variant began with Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong's support. Su Shi wrote an article on the disadvantages of the new policy. This made Wang Anshi very angry, so that some ministers told the emperor about the mistakes made by Su Shi before, so Su Shi asked to leave the capital to be an official elsewhere. Later, he went to prison because of his poems, and was later released. Later, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and became an assistant of Yong ying without real power. Later, I was promoted, then demoted and transferred, and finally demoted several times.
In the end, 62-year-old Su Shi was sent to the desolate Hainan Island. The punishment for being sent to Danzhou, Hainan Island from the Song Dynasty was only a little lighter than the crime of beheading. Su Dongpo took Danzhou as his second hometown, built a school here and introduced his research style, so many people went to Danzhou for a long time to study. People always regard Su Shi as the pioneer and originator of Danzhou culture and deeply respect him.
So there is another Dongpo village in Hainan that still exists. There are wells, fields, roads, bridges and hats named after Dongpo. People miss Su Dongpo, and there is a language called Dongpo Dialect.
