Stone's "Huizhou unique skill"

Original poem:

It's spring at four o'clock in Luofu Mountain, and tangerines and bayberries are new.

300 lychees a day, I will grow up to be a Lingnan person without hesitation.

Translation:

The next four seasons in Luofu Mountain are spring, and loquat and Huangmei are fresh every day.

If I eat 300 lychees every day, I would like to be a Lingnan person forever.

Creation background

Shao Sheng wrote Huizhou for three years (1096). There are two songs under this topic. Choose the second one here. Lingnan and Guangdong were wild places in the Song Dynasty, and most guilty ministers were exiled here.

Here, moving guests to demote officials often leads to many lamentations, but Dongpo is not. In this poem, he shows his consistent optimistic, broad-minded and carefree spirit, and also expresses his love for Lingnan scenery.
