[Appreciation] Litchi is a plant in the south of subtropical zone, which is produced in Lingnan and is also abundant in the south of Taiwan Province Province. It is rare in the northern mainland. (Lingnan refers to the Guangdong and Guangxi regions south of Wuling)
Su Dongpo loves litchi. This poem is a famous poem about litchi, saying that he eats 300 lychees every day. Because litchi is delicious, he wants to be a Lingnan person when he grows up.
Later generations quoted these two sentences not only to show that litchi tastes delicious, but also to show that Lingnan is rich in litchi.
