Ding Fengbo Translation: Don't listen to the leaves beating in the forest.
Song Shenzong Yuanfeng (1082) On March 7th, 2005, it was raining on Hu Sha Road, and someone left first with rain gear. People in the same trade feel embarrassed, but I don't think so. After a while, it cleared up, so I made this word.
Ignore the sound of rain hitting the forest and leaves, why not let go of your throat and sing a long whistle and walk calmly. Walking with bamboo poles and sandals is lighter than riding a horse. I can live with hemp fiber regardless of wind and rain!
The spring breeze is cool, wake me up, it's cool, but the sunset in Chu Qing on the mountain is timely. Looking back at the bleak place when the wind and rain came, I walked home, whether it was raining or sunny.
Appreciation of whole poem
This word is a work that expresses a person's feelings when he is drunk and caught in the rain. Despite repeated setbacks in adversity, the poet's behavior of walking in the rain shows his stubborn character and broad-minded mind. The whole word is emotional and humorous.
The first sentence, "don't listen to the sound of leaves beating in the forest", on the one hand makes the storm crazy, on the other hand points out that foreign things are not enough. "Why not sing and walk slowly" is an extension of the previous sentence. Walking in the rain as usual echoes the small sequence "My colleagues are in a mess, and I don't feel lonely", which also leads to the following "Who is afraid", that is, I am not afraid to come. Xu xing and chanting are double writing; The word "why not" is a bit playful and adds to the challenge. The first two sentences are the pivot of the whole article, and the words and feelings behind them are born from this. "Bamboo shoes are lighter than horses", the lyricist, bamboo shoes, braved the wind and rain and walked calmly, conveying a relaxed, happy and heroic feeling of fighting the storm and facing life with a smile. The sentence "a misty rain will last a lifetime" goes further, pushing it from the immediate wind and rain to the whole life, effectively strengthening the author's detached feelings in the face of ups and downs in life, not afraid of ups and downs, and taking his own road.
Shangcheng shows a broad-minded and detached mind, full of open-minded and bold spirit, and embodies a unique understanding of life. Reading makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Xiatan" changed from expressing feelings in the rain to describing clearing up after the rain. After the film, the phrase "the hills are slanted but greeted with each other" is written after the rain clears. These words not only correspond to the wind and rain written in the last film, but also pave the way for the following life feelings.
"Looking back at the bleak land, rain or shine." This poem, full of philosophy of life, tells the poet's epiphany and enlightenment in the subtle moment of nature: rain or shine in nature is normal, and there is no difference, but what about the political situation and honor or disgrace in social life? The word "bleak" in the sentence means the sound of wind and rain, which corresponds to the sound of "beating leaves through the forest" in the previous work. The word "wind and rain" is a pun, which refers not only to the wind and rain encountered in the wild, but also to the political "wind and rain" and the dangerous road of life that almost killed him.

Liu Yongji's Brief Analysis of Song Poetry in Tang and Five Dynasties: "Dongpo is in Huangzhou, and this word was written in the rain on the way. It is unusual to get caught in the rain halfway, but Dongpo can write his lifelong education in this unusual accident. In the first half, we can see that the author has a good self-cultivation and a hard journey, and is not shaken by worries. The second half shows his profound understanding of life experience and his mind of worrying and forgetting. Educated people can show their spirit anytime and anywhere. Dongpo's life experience in politics fluctuated greatly, sometimes he was called internally, sometimes he was used externally, sometimes he was located in Qingyuan, and sometimes he was exiled to a remote place. However, his thoughts and behaviors did not change because of this. On the contrary, he became more and more brave, more and more brave, and more and more famous. You can't be embarrassed, you must be cultivated on weekdays and be firm in the face of things in order to get this effect. "
