Dan Li broke the jade skin, and Huang gan overflowed Fang Jin and wrote Hainan.
The poem "Dan Li breaks the skin of jade, and yellow oranges overflow the fragrance" expresses the poet's sincere praise for Hainan's rich products, especially the beautiful fruits and delicacies. In early summer, the red lychee is ripe, cracking its shell and revealing white flesh; In autumn, Huang Chengcheng's oranges are covered with branches and full of fragrance. How can such a vibrant and fruitful Hainan not be fascinating?
Of course, apart from litchi and tangerine, Tanya pinnatifida, Erythrina, kapok, agarwood and mustard were also written in Su Shi's poems. Su Shi's poems during his exile in Hainan can be described as a miniature production chronicle.
This poem expresses Su Shi's appreciation for the Li brothers' happiness and poverty, and hopes to repair their houses and let them live a better life by donating money. Su Shi also imagined the situation after the completion of the Li brothers' new house: Maozi changed into a new tile and was no longer afraid of wind and rain. The guests came, received by a beautiful hall, and the fruits on both sides of the house were ripe, which was pleasing to the eye.
I am so envious that I have to build a house next to it and become neighbors with the Li brothers. If we can learn to speak local dialect, we all hope to become Li compatriots. The simple local folk customs and good ecological environment have made Su Shi have a strong emotional identity with Hainan. And wrote a poem: "I am a native of Bo 'er, living in Xishu Prefecture".
