Su Shi is a scholar and poet admired by the world.

The natives eat potatoes and yams every meal, and recommend smoking rats and burning bats.

It is old news that honey is eaten and vomited, which is slightly closer to the custom of shrimp and toad.

In the past ten years, the capital has grown tired of fat, and every day the flowers have pressed against the red jade.

I have always been burdened with generals, but now I should definitely take off my grain.

People say that there is no good taste in the world, and maggots are not as wise as elk.

Haikang, don’t drive back, what will you do? The hat will fall and the boy will be shocked.

If you look at each other, you will become a fairy of two stars, and you will definitely be able to ride a yellow swan when you return home.

Hainan is so vast and sparsely populated that it is rare to have a meal of meat.

It takes five days to have a meal of pork belly, and it takes ten days to have a meal of yellow chicken porridge.

The local residents had no meat to eat, so they ate taro every day, sometimes smoked and roasted rats, and sometimes burned bats, which were also very delicious.

At that time, the people of Hainan ate a kind of fruit bat, and the meat was said to be delicious.

Miji is just a newborn mouse cub dipped in honey and eaten raw. The mouse makes a chirping sound, so it is called Miji.

Su Shi said that when he first came to Hainan, he couldn't help vomiting just hearing the word honey. Later, he followed the locals and was forced by the environment. The conditions were so difficult that he gradually started to try eating toads.

Looking back on the ten years I lived in the capital, I lived a comfortable life, but I hated greasy food and bland food.

Now that conditions are limited, I can’t eat even if I want to, so I just take things as they come.

However, most people in the world are keen on eating pleasures. They are tired of eating all the delicacies in the world, so they start to hunt for novelties. They eat mantis bugs and want to eat rare animals like elk.

Su Shi was living in a remote place in Hainan, and he was not used to eating, so his body was getting thinner and thinner.

He imagined in the poem that if one day he left Hainan and went back, people would be surprised at what he had gone through and why he was so thin and his clothes had become fat.

If you are so thin, you can probably ride a swan home. When you meet your brother, both of you will be so thin that they will look like gods.

Judging from the meaning of the whole poem, Su Shi may have heard about people eating bats and wrote down the local customs in the poem, but he may not have actually eaten them.

Even if I really ate it, I had to eat it due to circumstances.

Including local people, eating rats and bats seems to be forced to make a living.

Nowadays, people eat some weird things just for curiosity.

In any case, from a safety point of view, wild animals carry and spread a large number of bacteria and viruses, causing diseases, so health is more important and it is better not to eat them.

Life in Hainan is so difficult, but Su Shi can still write poems to ridicule himself and his brother. His humor and optimistic attitude are evident in the poems.

Lin Yutang, a scholar in the Republic of China, once commented that Su Shi was a born optimist.

Su Shi loved life and was open-minded and optimistic.

The details and little joys of life can be seen everywhere in the writing.

His inventions of eating Dongpo meat, sheep and scorpions, etc. can all be seen in his poems, making him worthy of being a seasoned gourmet.
