Chengmai history

More than 900 years ago, Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was relegated to Danzhou, Hainan, passing through Chengmai Ancient Town. Three years later, he was pardoned, and he also set foot on the ferry to the north from here. When Su Dongpo passed by, he left two poems, "Chengmai Tongchao Pavilion" and "Lianzhou was moved from Chengmai to Donghai Ben on June 20, three years", which became the pride of many people when they mentioned Chengmai history.

Su Dongpo's calligraphy (1 100) mentioned Chengmai's dream of staying in Qiong's secret school. But the history of Chengmai has to be pushed forward. In the first year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (1 10 BC), Chengmai County has been established for more than 2,000 years. It is one of the three historical ancient cities in Hainan with a long history and prosperous culture. Because the ancient county ruled the old city with "Chengjiang" and "Mailing (Mountain)", the first county named after mountains and rivers was Chengmai.

Everyone knows the living Buddha of Jigongshan, but not many people know it in Chengmai Jigongshan. Maijigong Mountain, located in Honggang Farm, is named after a boulder shaped like a living Buddha of Jigong. Jishan, formerly known as Shilanling, also known as Shanzhuling, looks closely at the appearance of the boulder.
