The story of Su Dongpo eating oysters in Hainan

Dongpo is in Hainan, eating oysters is so beautiful that your uncle said, "If you don't let Chinese and Korean scholars know, you might as well try to move to the south to share this taste." If you let a scholar-bureaucrat move to the south happily, you won't have to travel. Or Dongpo said this, looking at people with the virtue of a gentleman.

Translation:

When Su Dongpo was in Hainan, he liked to eat oysters produced in Hainan, which was delicious. So he wrote to his son, Su Guo, saying, "Don't let the court literati know about this, or those officials will try their best to be transferred to Hainan as an official to share the delicious oysters."

If all the literati really like to come to Hainan and are willing to move south, then those who are jealous of Su Dongpo will not let him go to Hainan. Some people think that when Su Dongpo wrote this kind of words, he looked at others with the demeanor of a wise man and a gentleman.

Extended data:

Hainan is an important place for the court to assign political prisoners. In ancient times, that place was not an international tourist island, with no meat, no medicine and no room to live. Su Dongpo's relegation to Hainan is the year of the flower.

One day Dongpo was sent to Hainan. He found it delicious to eat oysters, so he excitedly wrote to his youngest son, Su Guo, saying, "There are such delicious oysters in Hainan. Don't let the court officials know, or they will share my delicious food if they try their best to come to Hainan." In Danzhou, his real life is very bleak. In such a bad environment and mood, he can still "eat oysters, which is as beautiful as a fairy." Such optimism and open-mindedness are really treasures of life.

The anecdote of Dongpo mentioned in the article fully embodies Dongpo's philosophical thinking and humorous attitude. His career is bumpy and full of worries, but after all, he is an extraordinary person who adapts to fate, is optimistic and bold, is good at self-doubt, and forgets his worries.
