The most appropriate way to go to Huizhou is probably to recite Su Dongpo's famous sentence "Eat Litchi": "When spring comes in Luofu Mountain, oranges and bayberries are new. 300 lychees a day, I don't want to grow up to be a Lingnan person. "

Then climb to the litchi tree, full of litchi, red, green, Huang Chengcheng, all kinds of colors, just like children drawing at will. Reach out and take it off. Pick it up and put it in your mouth.

How to recite this poem with litchi in your mouth?

Climb to the litchi tree, I'm afraid it's too late to recite poems.

I guess Su Dongpo wrote poetry after eating enough lychee. Therefore, this poem is written naturally and happily, which is a great satisfaction after eating and drinking.

At present, the largest litchi producing area is not Huizhou, but there is Su Dongpo's masterpiece Eat Litchi, and these two famous brands, Luofushan and Litchi, can't be taken away anyway. This is also a concrete manifestation of the importance of culture. No amount of money you spend on advertising can achieve this effect.

Can a person eat 300 lychees a day? I highly doubt it. Delicious as I am, can eat as I am, and have awe of "300". Three hundred lychees weigh about nine pounds. It is possible to eat nine pounds of lychees a day. The point is, who can eat lychee from morning till night?

Last July, my family was invited by Huicheng District of Huizhou to eat litchi. My brother Liang and I made an appointment privately, and under the leadership of the couple, we went deep into the "Dongpo Litchi Village" in Luofu Mountain to eat the freshest litchi.

I have always had a tree climbing complex, and I have written many articles about trees in recent years. I just wrote an article "Leaves on the Tree are Blooming" and went to the cherry trees in Germany. Back to my hometown in Guangdong, I came to Huizhou, a famous city in Lingnan. I want to climb the litchi tree.

Cherry trees and litchi trees are easy to climb because their branches and leaves are swaying. Picking fruit trees is actually picking soft persimmons and eating ripe litchi. Middle-aged people are obese and have stiff hands and feet. Only the little monkeys hiding in the depths of their bodies are agile and jump on tall trees and wide branches. Only a thin body like a monkey can climb to the outermost branch and float in the wind like a squirrel.

Now litchi is widely planted, mostly new varieties, with few big trees. When I was a child, I climbed over the arbor litchi tree, which was very close to the semi-wild litchi tree. It is tall and powerful, floating in the wind, fruitful and green, and looks really powerful. But fierce is fierce, but it doesn't eat. This kind of litchi has thick skin, thin meat, big stone and sour taste, which is difficult to swallow. Litchi has a huge nucleus, the size of a thumb, long oval, round and smooth. After washing, you can make toys and have fun. A real rural monkey can't be said to be a qualified pupil without carrying twenty or thirty litchi stones on his back. For deep processing of litchi seeds, you can also dig along the spores of litchi with a bamboo stick and take out all the pulp, leaving only a dark brown seed coat. The meat in litchi kernel is bitter and astringent, and it is not delicious at all-but in the famine era, litchi kernel has also become food-what's the use of cutting it into a thin layer of kernel skin? Actually, it's no use. It's just that rural children are bored and even happy with a litchi stone. Children with musical talent can whistle close to their lips, and it is also a pleasure to make a sound in the sweltering and lonely afternoon abyss. Not to mention litchi stones, even mango stones can be used as toys. Skilled children drill holes in mango cores, put on ropes, pull at both ends, rotate like windmills, and make a whirring sound.

In Huizhou, I realized my wish to climb trees. In front of my daughter, I proved that I was really anxious to climb trees.

The litchi forest we went to, the fruit trees were not tall. But the age of the tree is not short, it is an advanced litchi tree, and it is probably the best in litchi.

Although it belongs to Guangdong aborigines, I can't name all kinds of litchi varieties neatly. I just instinctively distinguish which litchi is sweet and which litchi is sour; Which litchi stones are small and thick, and which litchi stones are large and thin. These are all knowledge of nature, you can taste them with your own mouth, and you don't need anyone to impart knowledge. Children are naturally sensitive to various shapes, colors and sounds. We don't necessarily know the name of every litchi, but we can know that it is a "delicious" litchi by looking at the color, and it is a "bad" litchi when picked up.

In recent years, I have been interacting with children and making king of the children. I know that children have been locked up in school for too long, with too much homework and no leisure at all, and they have lost the fun of climbing trees, going down rivers, playing with mud and chasing each other. In a big city like Shanghai, you can't even find a few swings. It's not that there is no place, but that no one thought of putting a swing.

One year, we took our five or six-year-old daughter to visit Macao. In such a small city, swings are installed on every green street. In Germany, children's playgrounds are densely distributed in those cities, which are open to children for free. Pulley, swing, seesaw, slide and a piece of sand. The sand is thick and deep. I studied it, digging to the shoulder, not to the end. Playing with sand is one of children's favorite activities.

10 years ago, a Vanke property opened in Shanghai, with a remote location and a dead corner where high-voltage lines passed. The house and the community didn't say anything, but there is a children's playground of considerable scale outside the community, which is amazing. I have taken my children there many times. There are sand and slides here, and children can be construction workers or pirates together.

Children should play, should play endlessly, without purpose and central idea, and can't learn so much dead knowledge. If there is no time to play and climb trees, children will become adults.

I am in a tree in Huizhou, so naturally I didn't think so much. I am fascinated by this top litchi variety, probably cinnamon.

I said to my brother and sister-in-law: Sorry, I'm going up the tree.

The daughter is a little worried: Dad, can you?

I patted my plump belly and said, no problem.

Litchi tree fiber is tight and not easy to break, so don't worry. As soon as the expert's words came out, everyone understood.

After climbing the tree, I had the most beautiful litchi on my head, so I didn't have time to explain anything to my daughter under the tree.

Fruit trees are like this. Litchi with the most sunshine at the top naturally tastes the best.

I'll just pick the straightest litchi, pick it off and put it directly into my mouth.

Dongpo lay man, 300 lychees a day, about my age. I don't know how he climbs trees, and I don't know if he likes climbing trees. It's a pity that there is no literature to search and no solution. If I can travel back to the Song Dynasty and meet Po Weng in person, I must challenge him: Shall we climb trees?

Poetry, lyrics, writing, painting and so on, there is no need to compare, I just admit defeat. Climbing a tree may be able to barely resist. However, people in the past were much stronger physically than us. They basically walk on their legs. Long-distance travel is usually a few months or even a year or two. They trudge through the vast jungle. When Su Dongpo was demoted to Lingnan, he took Wang Chaoyun and Saner from Hangzhou to Changzhou and then to Nanjing, traced the mouth of Poyang Lake against the Yangtze River, and then prepared to take a boat to cross Xiaoyuling Xiao Yun Trail in southern Jiangxi. But just arrived in Jiangxi, his political opponents sent another order, forbidding Su Dongpo's family to go by boat and ride horses, and punishing them for walking with their feet. In this way, it took them nearly a year to walk to Huizhou.

I once wrote a short article saying that Su Dongpo was the first to send Weibo. Everything is written in Dongpo Zhi Lin, such as alchemy, dreaming, crossing and eating snot, which is short, interesting and even weird. For example, Night Tour in Chengtian Temple was also selected as a Chinese textbook. These essays are written on small pieces of paper as soon as he feels, and thrown into the basket on the back of his entourage. Every little makes a mickle, and it becomes a book. When writing the title of Xilin Wall in Lushan Mountain, the version used in Chinese textbooks is "From the side of the mountain, the distance is different", and Po Weng himself wrote in "Dongpo Branch Forest Tour Lushan Mountain": "From the side of the mountain, the mountains are different everywhere"

There are many versions of the last sentence in Eat Litchi, whether it is "I might as well be a Lingnan person" or "I don't want to be a Lingnan person often". But the key point is that Su Dongpo fell in love with Luofu Mountain and this leisurely life after eating 300 Litchi, but it is obvious.

To climb a tree is to climb a tree, so it seems quite inappropriate to think of Su Dongpo on a tree. Therefore, I still concentrate on eating litchi.

Although I let go of my stomach to eat, I ended up full of fat and couldn't eat much. It is estimated that if you eat 70 or 80 tablets at most, you will be too full to swallow. It's also a spent force to struggle to put two more words in your mouth.

Whether Po Weng can really "plant 300 lychees a day" needs further discussion in academic circles.

Brother Liu Wen and I and the local sages suggested:

Since I don't know whether Su Dongpo's poems refer to empty meaning or real meaning, I might as well plan a challenge of "300 lychees a day". Recruit "Big Stomach King" to challenge "300 Litchi" in the whole country and even the whole world, and the first one to finish eating is the champion. As for the people who eat melons, they can also participate in activities by paying a certain fee. This suggestion is of interest to everyone.

Looking at Huizhou from the tree, you really can't see it.

When I first came to Huizhou, I was also on a high place, standing on the ninth floor of the towering "Turtle Temple" in Yangqiao Town, overlooking Luofu Mountain and Nankun Mountain. Although I can't see it clearly, I feel that the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the water vapor flows, which is refreshing and has the meaning of breathing the essence of heaven and earth. Kamei Shrine is my name. Li, the local king of scarabs, is a hidden "scarabs". He used nearly 400 acres of land to build a nine-story building with an area as big as a stadium for ten thousand people. Imagine the future, this "turtle temple" can accommodate tens of thousands of money turtles, and it is a turtle kingdom. In the highest palace, there are eight beetle elders.

At that time, I made a speech in the unfinished "Turtle Temple", reviewing the two great beasts around the Jurassic: dinosaurs and turtles. Now dinosaurs are all over the world, and teenagers are all the rage. But dinosaurs died out 60 million years ago. Turtle, the dinosaur's small partner at the same time, has experienced numerous robberies and survived tenaciously until now. Whether it's the collision of asteroids between heaven and earth, or the Siberian highlands created by the eruption of super volcanoes, whether it's the ice age or the flood age, the tortoise remains motionless, the legendary swordsman. Although the turtle meat is soft, the tortoise shell is strong. Moreover, water can land, and literature can be martial. Ancient philosophers in China liked the image of tortoise for many reasons. Moreover, in the early Tang Dynasty, many celebrities liked to secretly write the word "turtle" into their names, such as singer, court musician "Li Guinian" and scholar "Lu Guimeng", all of which were good names.

Among the auspicious symbols revered by the ancients in China, dragons and phoenixes do not exist, but turtles live beside us.

Humans are so weird that they usually prefer things that don't exist.

In the best-selling book A Brief History of Mankind, Israeli historian Herali said that our ancestor Homo sapiens defeated several other human species and other large beasts in the same period and became the top hegemon. The most important thing is that Homo sapiens has the ability of "fiction"-storytelling and gossip are also one of the main abilities. Other animals, such as gorillas, have groups and leaders. However, these are small groups composed of dozens of people. Once millions of people are involved, how can we get them to work together in Qi Xin? This requires fiction, such as the fiction of a great god, the worship of the whole people, and the concerted efforts of Qi Xin. The largest scale is to build a great building like the pyramid; Invent the concept of the country and let people fight for it. Wait a minute.

Once people invented a concept, it automatically generated, with undoubted magic. Human society often builds a large number of "temples" for things that don't exist. And once these temples have entities, just like some real gods, they begin to control human beings.

At that time, I was imagining things on Mount Luofu. This is not a question of "there are four seasons in spring", but a question of where there are trees to climb.

Luofu Mountain is well protected with dense forests and rich vegetation. In some places, the content of negative ions reaches hundreds of thousands of units, while PM2.5 is around seven or eight. The first time I entered Luofu Mountain, I lived in the General Building and only slept for a few hours. Probably because there was too much oxygen, I drank oxygen. I can't really fall asleep, but I'm dreaming.

There are all kinds of big trees in Luofu Mountain, which are not suitable for an artificial uncle like me to climb. Only when the agile squirrel jumped over the treetops did I realize that human beings, like me, had been away from nature for too long.

My feeling about Huizhou seems to be the hometown of my childhood, which I made up for a long time. Very kind and natural, not surprising at all. Huizhou occupies all the advantages of a city: magnificent mountains and rivers, vast sea and sky, geothermal water, spring water and other benefits, not to mention rich products. There are mountains, rivers, seas, springs and lakes. What else do you want?

My friend took me to visit Hufeng Academy in Huizhou West Lake. This ancient academy, which was built in Ming or Yuan Dynasty, has been renovated. They very much hope that I can help introduce a large organization and turn it into a high-end place. I suggest setting up an "advanced institute of southern culture" or something, introducing various high-end forums to improve the cultural gold content of Huizhou. In history, due to the influence of Ge Hong, Su Dongpo, Niu Sengru and others, Huizhou has a rich collection of humanities, but now it seems to be declining. If nothing else, institutions such as colleges and universities are in short supply.

Dongpo lay people cannot live without the West Lake. He dredged the West Lake and built the Su Causeway. In Huizhou, dredging the West Lake and building Su Causeway. West Lake, large and small, has its own interests.

Huizhou is located in the core of the Pearl River Delta, which is more than an hour's drive from Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It can be said that it is very lively and has the advantage of being quiet.

Huizhou is good, not only because Su Dongpo's famous poem has a long history, but because he has done a lot of civil work here, writing dozens of poems and articles. He stayed in Huizhou for three years, leaving too many precious cultural resources for Huizhou.

Huizhou, at present, can't say that its culture is prosperous, and it needs to continue to improve itself.

Once you go to the South China Sea, the world won't dare to get smaller in Huizhou. More and more people are beginning to realize the powerful pulling and shaping function of culture. There are countless places and geographical locations with Su Dongpo's name in Huizhou, and even the mountain spring he tasted has been verified as the spring water in a senior mansion.

Springs are everywhere, but Su Dongpo doesn't drink everywhere.
