Hainan Island has been inhabited for a long time. These people have been in contact with the mainland for a long time, and there have been friendships and enmities in the process. There is no problem in this. For a long period of time, both Hainan Island and southern Guangdong were basically in a state of wilderness. The few ancestors in the wilderness maintained a primitive ecology that is difficult for us to guess today. The two southernmost states among the nine states delineated in the "Shangshu Yu Gong" and "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" during the Warring States Period were Yangzhou and Jingzhou. It can be seen that Hainan is still far outside the boundaries of civilization. As the name suggests, the Warring States Period was a particularly busy era for politicians and military strategists. However, in Hainan Island, you can only hear ripe coconuts falling quietly from the trees, snap, snap, for thousands of years. Beside the coconut trees, the sea waves roll in day and night, and the vines and vines flutter. It seems that it was during the Han Dynasty that mainlanders took a more serious look at the island from an administrative perspective. Looking at them were two officers of the Southern Expedition, both known as "General Fubo", Lu Bode in the Western Han Dynasty and Ma Yuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They galloped around the land of South China, opened up territory, and took a rough look at Hainan Island, which was isolated among the vast expanse of blue waves, and then established two counties, Zhuya and ○'er, and incorporated them into China. territory. However, this inclusion was very careless. The indigenous slang people could not get along with the outside officials and soldiers, and sharp conflicts broke out time and time again. Even the mainland immigrants who had originally migrated naturally became targets of expulsion by the indigenous people. For a long time, all outsiders had to evacuate and pile into wooden boats to cross the sea back to the mainland, leaving Hainan Island still in a state of freedom. Of course, soldiers will come to conquer it later, but it is almost impossible to stay there quietly. After several in and outs, Hainan Island has become a scary place. The reason for fear cannot be said to be that they cannot deal with the resistance of the locals. This will arouse the anger of the rulers: How can we, with our majestic imperial dynasty and strong soldiers and heavy armor, be resisted by these natives? Therefore, the generals can only say that they are not accustomed to the climate, the earth's atmosphere is poisonous, and they are prone to diseases, and the soldiers cannot come back. A few days ago, I was browsing Twenty-Five Histories to find information about Hainan. I read a passage in "Three Kingdoms" that said that during the Chiwu period, Sun Quan, the ruler of Soochow, repeatedly conquered Hainan Island. Cong's Zhejiang people strongly opposed it. He said: How can the power of the Holy Dynasty not be overcome? However, it is a foreign land, isolated by the sea, and the water, soil and air are poisonous, which has existed since ancient times. When soldiers enter and leave the people, they will inevitably get sick and become polluted. Those who go there will be afraid and unable to return. How much can be gained? Sun Quan did not listen to him and sent troops to Hainan with high spirits. As a result, after traveling for more than a year on such a long journey, 80 to 90 percent of the soldiers died. Sun Quan regretted it and discussed the matter with Quan Cong again, praising Quan Cong's foresight. Quan Cong said, "Many of the ministers understood it at that time, but they did not raise objections. I think it was disloyal." The Three Kingdoms was an era of heroes, and the heroes failed to truly conquer Hainan. So, what kind of person is Hainan waiting for? Completely beyond people's expectations, more than two hundred years after Sun Quan's southern expedition, a woman named Xian who was born in today's Yangjiang, Guangdong, settled in Hainan almost permanently with her charisma. In 527 AD, that is, the year when Li Daoyuan, a geographer who was particularly concerned about the territory of China, died, this woman named Xian married Feng Bao, the governor of Gaoliang, and began to effectively assist her husband in managing the territory of China. The southern end is a large piece of land near the sea, including Hainan Island. Her husband Feng Bao died of illness, and frequent wars in the Central Plains also caused chaos in southern Guangdong. This middle-aged woman had no choice but to get on horseback. For the sake of stability, people's livelihood, and harmony among ethnic groups, she has been commanding and acting with both authority and softness for decades. Finally, she became the most prestigious ruler in a large part of southern Guangdong and Hainan Island, and the title "Mrs. Until Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unified China, Mrs. Xian led her subordinate states and counties to submit as a "female chief", welcomed officials sent by the central government, and eliminated local rebel forces, establishing an unprecedented affinity between Lingnan and the Central Plains. . Mrs. Xian was a long-lived woman. If her marriage was the beginning of her career in politics, then by the time of her death, she had been in politics for more than seventy years. Judging from the cultural coordinates of the Central Plains, it was an era when Liu Xie wrote "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons" and Yan Zhidui wrote "The Family Instructions of the Yan Family"; and in their south, a woman was ruling the sea and the sky. She looked back at the Central Plains from time to time, and from the soft autumn waves to the dim and kind eyes, she was always so kind. People from the Central Plains were very surprised and panicked when they saw this look from the direction of "isolated sea" and "poisonous water, soil and air". The scene here was a bit like the young man chasing a deer. So, put away your bows and arrows, rein in your horses, and respond with a warm smile. The Sui Dynasty government first canonized her as the Lady of Songkang County, and then the Lady of Qiao State. After her death, she was posthumously granted the title of Lady Chengjing. There is no information to let us know Mrs. Xian's appearance and style when she was young, but her charm seems to be beyond doubt. To this day, more than a thousand years later, there are still hundreds of Madame Xian temples on both sides of the Qiongzhou Strait. There are annual activities for several years, with hundreds of thousands of voluntary participants, which is astonishing. My student Wen Xinguo worked in Guangdong after graduation. He was shocked by the huge charm of a woman that has remained for more than thousands of years. He spent a full ten years studying Madam Xian and wrote a series of successful literary works. In his writing, Mrs. Xian is an ancestor of the Li people today, while her husband Feng Bao is a Han Chinese. This suddenly reminded me that among the many ethnic minorities in our country, there are several particularly beautiful ones, and the Li ethnic group is one of them.

The beauty of Li girls is first of all their eyes. The openness and depth of the sea and the fiery passion of the tropics are all hidden in the long and flickering eyelashes. Mrs. Xian devoted this look to Chinese history, which is both rare and playful in Chinese history. A kind of feminine existence in a still wild and primitive background - this is the image of Hainan Island that was established before the prosperous Tang Dynasty. From then on, China will go through thousands of years of bloody carnage in endless ethnic disputes, but in Hainan Island it is generally peaceful.
