"The sound of books was loud and string songs were everywhere." Celebrities at home and abroad have come to learn from Dongpo. Danzhou became the cultural center of the whole island at this time, and also cultivated the tradition of respecting teachers and attaching importance to education. Nine years after Su Dongpo returned to the North, Yun Renfu really became the first scholar in Hainan. Since then, Danzhou has produced a large number of talented people with a far-reaching reputation, which has had a far-reaching impact on Hainan's history.
