"One of the Uniques of Huizhou" ——Song Dynasty: Su Shi
It is spring at the foot of Luofu Mountain, and the oranges and bayberries are fresh every time.
Eating three hundred lychees a day, he has grown up to be a Lingnan native.
Translation: There is spring all year round under Luofu Mountain, and loquats and yellow plums are fresh every day. If I eat 300 lychees a day, I would like to live in Lingnan forever.
Creative background: It was written in Huizhou in the third year of Shaosheng's reign (1096). There are two poems under this title, and I will choose the second one here. The Lingnan and Guangxi areas were barbaric lands during the Song Dynasty, and most criminal officials were exiled here. When guests and ministers move here, they often express a lot of sadness and lamentation, but this is not the case with Dongpo. In this poem, he shows his usual optimism, broad-mindedness, and easy-going spirit. At the same time, he also expresses his love for the scenery of Lingnan. Love.

Appreciation
See Mr. Dongpo's Lingnan mood from "Litchi Poetry". In the first year of Shaosheng reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo was demoted to Lingnan for "ridiculing the previous dynasty" and was "not allowed to sign official documents". As a result, Mr. Dongpo wandered around the scenery, observed the scenery, and developed a deep love for Lingnan. He even loved lychees, which were very common in the Lingnan area, so persistently.
