Introduction to Dongpo Stone Bed: Dongpo Stone Bed is a natural rectangular stone platform 3.3 meters long, 1.3 meters wide and 1.75 meters high. When Su Shi was the prefect of Xu, he often drank and composed poems with the hermit Zhang Tianji of Huangmaogang. On September 17, the first year of Yuanfeng (1708), Su Shi, accompanied by his friends, went hiking to see the scenic spots and lay drunk on the rocks. When the people saw Zhizhou lying among the rocks among the thatch, they clapped their hands and laughed. Later, Su Shi immediately composed a poem, which reflected his bold and unrestrained character and his deep feelings for the people of Xuzhou. Later generations named it Dongpo Stone Bed based on the line in the poem.
