Don't pay attention to the beating rain in the forest. Mei sings a long whistle and walks leisurely. Bamboo poles and sandals are more dexterous than riding horses. What's to be afraid of? A raincoat and hemp fiber, despite the wind and rain, still live my life.
The coolness of spring breeze awakens my wine, and the cold begins to be cold, and the peak of the sun is the sun, but it is satisfied in time. Looking back at the place where I met the wind and rain, going back, for me, there is no wind and rain, but it is still sunny. (bleak one: chic)
Source: Song Dynasty Su Shi's Ding Feng Bo, Don't Listen to the Sound of Beating Leaves through the Forest
On March 7th, five years in Yuanfeng, Song Shenzong (1082), someone got caught in the rain on Hu Sha Road and left first with rain gear. Everyone in the same trade feels embarrassed except me. 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: this word is a work that expresses a person's mood 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.
Walking in the rain, according to normal life, riding a horse is certainly better than bamboo straw sandals, but Su Shi said: "Bamboo straw sandals are lighter than horses. Who is afraid? " Of course, this is not realism, but to continue to write about my mentality at that time. When you have a calm and carefree attitude, even walking in the mud with bamboo poles and sandals is better than riding a horse and whipping away. There is also a contrast between two kinds of life, one is the civilian life with bamboo sticks and shoes, and the other is the aristocratic life with fat horses and light hair. After experiencing political ups and downs, Su Shi increasingly agrees with this real and plain civilian life. "Bamboo Slips" and "Mango Shoes" are important images used by Su Shi to express civilian life, and they are often used in his poems, such as "When I first entered Lushan Mountain": "Mango Shoes are green bamboo slips, hanging a hundred yuan tour." Dongpo: "I don't doubt looking for the right slope, and I love the sound of dragging my staff." "Stay in the Garden of Wisdom": "A monk's monastery in Mo Wen knocks on the door with a stick to see bamboo." Although Su Shi is a scholar and an official, he is a civilian artist who often goes deep into the people and leads a civilian life. "Bamboo Slippers" is a typical civilian image of Su Dongpo and a true portrayal of his civilian personality. ?
Walking in the wind and rain with bamboo poles and shoes is a hard life, but Su Shi walked so smartly and calmly. For this kind of life, he further encouraged himself: "Who is afraid?" It means that I am not afraid of such hardships and hardships. This is a rhetorical question intended to emphasize this attitude towards life. Why should we emphasize this attitude towards life? Because for Su Shi, this is his attitude towards life all his life, so he said, "A misty rain will last a lifetime." "A misty rain" means that the whole hemp fiber is in the misty rain, in fact, it means that his whole body is in the wind and rain. This "misty rain" also symbolizes the storm of life and politics. And "Ren Pingsheng" means that he has always been so calm, calm and philosophical, despite the storms all his life. This sentence is simply a portrayal of Su Shi's life. He was constantly hit politically, and he fell again and again, and finally he was exiled to the wild Hainan Island in his later years. But mentally, he has never been defeated and has always maintained a fresh and agile heart. He was demoted to Hainan Island, and he can still write such a childlike sentence as "Who makes up the clouds and the moon, and the sky and the sea are clear". Su Shi likes the image of "a misty rain". He appreciated the phrase "green bamboo hat, green bamboo hat, no need to pay back the oblique wind and drizzle" in the poem "Fisherman" written by the poet Zhang in the Tang Dynasty, and hated its lingering tune, so he changed it to the phrase in "Huanxisha" ("I avoid a light bamboo hat and follow the green bamboo hat everywhere") and entered the song.
Let's look at the text again, and then turn to the scene and feelings after the rain. "The cold spring breeze woke me up. It's a little cold, but the mountain is inclined." Here is an interesting and philosophical picture: on the one hand, there is a chilly spring breeze, which the author feels a little cold; On one side is an oblique hill, and the author feels a little warm. This is not only writing about scenery, but also expressing the philosophy of life. Isn't life full of dialectics like this? There is warmth in cold, hope in adversity, and joy in hardship. When you have an understanding of this dialectics of life, you will not fall into misery and depression forever, but will rise a trace of warmth and hope in a cold awakening. "The hills meet obliquely" is a positive observation of life, a general view and a spiritual sublimation of Su Shi after suffering and blows. Su Shi also expressed this idea in his other two poems: "If you want to go to the third night, the bitter rain will eventually clear up." It means it will clear up after the bitter wind and rain. ?
In fact, the above three sentences only express a Confucian realm and an attitude towards life after China's entry into WTO. On this basis, Su Shi further understood life: "Looking back at the bleak place, there is no rain or shine." After returning home, look at the windy and rainy places. Where there is rain, there is sunshine. The so-called wind and rain, the so-called sunshine, is just an illusion in people's minds. Su Shi entered the "undifferentiated realm" in Buddhism here. In Buddhism's view, "all laws are only revealed by the heart", and all images in the world are conjured up by the heart. If you are calm, the world will naturally be quiet. In fact, there is no difference in everything in the world, but only when we have different hearts can we have the whole world. If our hearts enter the realm of indifference, what is the difference between everything in the world? Therefore, Buddhism advises people to be "free from attachments", not to be persistent in everything and not to be bound by foreign things. Whether you succeed or fail, don't care too much. The so-called "do not disgrace the mission." What Su Shi expressed here is such a philosophy. After the return (the conversion of the soul is understandable), the soul has entered a state of peace. Look at the storm or sunshine of life. What is the difference? Are insignificant. He is here to advise people not to be frightened by the wind and rain, and not to be carried away by the sun. Everything should be taken in stride. This seems a bit idealistic. In fact, this is a great realm of life and a great transcendence after understanding the life of the universe. This also reflects Su Shi's personality realm, which should be said that Su Shi's life has basically reached. In his later years, after he was exiled to Hainan Island, he changed these three sentences slightly and wrote another poem "Lonely Sleep": "I feel lonely in the afternoon and want to get drunk and snore. Looking back at the bleak land, rain or shine. " It can be seen that Su Shi honed his personality realm in this way and ran through his life. The whole word ends with such a philosophical sentence, which is full of charm and thought-provoking.
Central idea: This word was written in the third year when the author was demoted to Huangzhou. Looking at the complete word, we will have a new understanding of the ups and downs of life and the joys and sorrows of emotions. As long as you stick to your spiritual world, you will be neither arrogant nor impetuous in prosperity nor afraid in adversity, and your troubles will be less, and your peace and happiness will be more. The author writes what he thinks when he encounters rain on the way with a humorous style, and expresses an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life.
Creation background: This poem was written in the fifth spring of Yuanfeng, Song Shenzong (A.D. 1082), which is the third spring when Su Shi was demoted as the assistant envoy of Huangzhou Yingyong because of Wutai Poetry Case. When the poet and his friends went out in the spring, they suddenly met with wind and rain, but they didn't care, took their time, recited calmly and walked slowly.
Evaluation: reading the complete word is exciting, the mood is suddenly enlightened and the soul is purified. The ups and downs of life and the joys and sorrows of emotions will have a new understanding in the reader's concept. From the perspective of "daydreaming" in psychology, this word is actually the daydreaming described by the author, which is indifferent and calm, broad-minded and detached, and in many ways fits the characteristics of daydreaming very well.
First, the mood meets the conditions of daydreaming-depression.
Three years before writing this word, that is, A.D. 1079, the author was impeached by Yushi for writing a poem "slandering the imperial court", was arrested and imprisoned, and was later demoted to Huangzhou Yingyong's deputy envoy. His political career has experienced ups and downs, and his ideals and ambitions have failed. As a result, the author has been depressed for several years, and his mind has fallen into the contradiction between being born and entering the WTO, and he is depressed.
Second, the artistic conception conforms to the true meaning of daydreaming-tranquility and freedom.
The author is very tired of the real and sinister life in the officialdom, and is eager to get rid of this life, retire from the rivers and lakes, and live a quiet, carefree, carefree and free life, that is, "return."
Third, the structure has the characteristics of daydreaming-natural integrity.
The introduction of dreams is "drinking" and "raining". The slight drunkenness of wine makes the author dizzy, which is the main basis for daydreaming. Misty rain makes the weather gloomy and hazy, creating a good atmosphere for dreaming.
The sentence of the dream is "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest", and the dream is "Why don't you sing slowly? Bamboo shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?" A misty rain is a lifetime. "Here, the author creates a wonderful daydream dream with images such as bamboo sticks, mango shoes, hemp fibers, misty rain, whistling and walking in the rain, and vividly outlines the image of a hermit who lives in seclusion in rivers and lakes. Although he has no luxury, he has no worries about the ups and downs of his career, and his mood is calm and peaceful.
The sentence of waking up in a dream is "the chilly spring breeze blows the wine to wake up, and the slightly cold hills meet obliquely." The cold spring breeze awakened the drunken man, and the author felt cold, excited and clear-headed. The dream was over and the author returned to reality. This kind of "cold" is not only the feeling of cold after waking up from a drink, but also the feeling of cold after waking up from a dream and thinking about one's own experience. At this moment, the warm sunset on the distant mountain made the author feel a little warm and increased his confidence in overcoming adversity.
The transitional sentence is "looking back at the bleak place" Although the sunset of "welcoming guests" brought some warmth to the author, the thought of my bumpy career path full of bleak storms-"Looking Back at the bleak place" put out the fire of hope in my heart!
After the dream is broken, the sentence to find the dream is "go home, rain or shine." His career storm is as changeable as the storm of nature. How long will the sunshine of his career last? It is better to "go home" and retire from the rivers and lakes. Everything is calm, neither sad nor happy, nor rainy or sunny.
Fourthly, the plot reveals the characteristics of daydreaming-both real and illusory.
First of all, the preface says that "colleagues are in chaos", which has proved that the rain is heavy, but "Don't listen to the sound of leaves in the Woods, why not sing and walk slowly" describes that the poet is in the rain, listening to the sound of rain, singing calmly and walking smartly, and does not feel the dripping pain at all. How can this be real words? The following "bamboo shoes are lighter than horses" is also unreasonable. How can you walk on a muddy road with bamboo poles and sandals, dragging your feet, and be as light as riding a tall horse? Therefore, this "lightness" is probably not the lightness of writing reality, but the lightness of being an official. Misty Rain's Life is also suspicious. It has been said in the preface that "rain gear comes first". Why are you walking in the rain again? It seems to be an imaginary scene. "Looking back at the bleak place, going home, no rain or shine" is also difficult to explain according to natural logic. After the rain clears, it should be "clear when there is no rain" How can it be "sunny"? So "sunny" here will not simply refer to sunny weather.
It can be seen that these are all imaginary things in the writer's mind, not the scene in front of him. The whole word is a daydream of "going home rain or shine" that the author tries to portray!
Throughout the poem, readers are presented with a sober, happy and sad life philosophy and attitude. "No rain, no shine" is a kind of self-shame, forgetfulness of victory and defeat, broad-minded nature, a kind of "to people without me, to god without work, to the holy nameless", and a kind of return to nature, harmony between man and nature, and a quiet and detached enlightenment.
