the history of chengmai

more than 9 years ago, su Dongpo, a great writer in the song dynasty, was demoted to danzhou, Hainan, and passed by the ancient town of chengmai. 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 "Moving Lianzhou from Chengmai to Tokaimoto on June 2, three years", which became a proud stroke when many people mentioned the history of Chengmai.

Su Dongpo's handwriting (11) of Ju Qiong's A Secret School for Dreams mentions Chengmai. But the history of Chengmai has to be pushed forward. In the first year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (11 BC), Chengmai County has been established for more than 2, 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.
