The Penglai depicted by Su Dongpo has been beautiful for over a thousand years

🔸Su Dongpo served as an official in Dengzhou for five days, stayed for more than twenty days, and visited Penglai, dined in Penglai, and took Penglai with him—'I take this stone and return, with the East Sea in my sleeve', 'placing it in a basin, daily facing the mountains and seas'. 🔸Atop the Penglai Pavilion in Dengzhou, looking out at the sea as smooth as a mirror, meeting the sky at the horizon. Suddenly, several dots like black beans appear, the locals say: 'The sea boats are arriving.' In less than the time it takes to cook a pot of rice, they have reached the base of the pavilion. — Su Shi 'Record of What I Saw at the Penglai Pavilion' 🔸Climbing the Penglai Pavilion to view the sea was Su Dongpo's elegant interest, and has also been the choice of literati and poets who visit Penglai since the Song Dynasty. 🔸When Su Dongpo encountered the Penglai Pavilion, it was still a youthful 25 years old, but today's Penglai Pavilion is over 1000 years old. 🔸Through the vicissitudes of the sea and the battering of rain and wind, for over a thousand years, the vast ocean seen from the Penglai Pavilion remains as magnificent as ever.
