On his way to Danzhou, Hainan, Su Shi bought 10 kg of sandalwood and built a "Xi Xuan", where he often burned incense and sat still.

He also wrote a poem: "Sit quietly for two days if you have nothing to do. If you live 70 years old, it is 140 years old. " It means that burning incense and sitting also has the function of strengthening the body.

Sushi's anecdote of perfuming.

Su Shi's Spring Letter in the Snow is said to be one of the most beautiful scents in ancient times, and it can smell the artistic conception of plum blossoms in snowy days. The birth of this perfume has a legendary story.

According to legend, Su Shi spent seven years trying to combine the fragrance of plum blossoms in early spring and was never satisfied. It was not until the seventh day of the first month of the fifth year of Yuan Dynasty that Su Shi suddenly came. Su Shi took out the royal suet jade bowl and ordered his concubine to take 999 plum blossoms and put them in the bowl. Then the processed spices are matched in turn, and finally the "spring letter in the snow" is matched.

In addition, Su Shi made a seal and gave it to his younger brother Su Zhe as a birthday present.
