Hainan poetry

When Su Shi was relegated to Hainan Island, he wrote poems describing the custom that local Li women also love to decorate temples with jasmine and contain betel nuts: dark musk deer charmed people with jasmine, and drank betel nuts in red tide.

Zhenwu Township, Wanli, Hainan

Su Shi

Nine suspects that Lian Mian belongs to Hengxiang,

Cangwu is alone.

In the lonely city that blew the horn,

The moon sets before the river sets.

You sit on the pillow and sigh,

My trip suddenly came to Shun's hiding place.

The old man by the river can talk,

White hair and beauty are as long as you.

Vernon took me as Ji Zi,

We should make this meaning barren.

He wrote geography and records at that time,

Zhenwu Township in Hainan Bay.
