The Su Shi-Themed Cultural Relics Exhibition is set to open on January 31 at the Hainan Provincial Museum. On display will be 332 cultural relics from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) that showcase the life and times of the literary great Su Shi (also known as Su Dongpo). These include five original calligraphy works from the Four Masters of the Song Dynasty (Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, and Cai Xiang), which are important national 1st-class cultural relics on loan from the Palace Museum in Beijing.

Admission to the exhibition, which runs until April 30, is free.
