It means that it is lighter to drag sandals with bamboo sticks than riding horses. Put on a hemp fiber and let the lake and the sea spend their lives.
from: Dingfengbo Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest is a poem by Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. Original text:
calm the storm, don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not sing and walk slowly? Bamboo poles and straw sandals are more nimble than riding, what is the terrible thing? A raincoat of coir raincoat, let the wind and rain, still live my life.
The chilly spring breeze wakes me up, and it's slightly cold, but the hills are slanting to greet me. Looking back at the place to meet the wind and rain, go back, for me, there is no wind and rain, or fine weather.
Translation:
Don't pay attention to the sound of rain beating through the forest and leaves. You might as well walk leisurely while chanting and whistling. Bamboo sticks and sandals are more agile than riding a horse. What's to be afraid of? I'll live my whole life in hemp fiber regardless of the wind and rain.
The spring breeze is slightly cool, which wakes me up. At the beginning of the chill, the setting sun in Chu Qing on the hill welcomes me at the right time. Looking back at the place where I came across the storm, go back. For me, it doesn't matter whether it is stormy or sunny.
Extended information:
Creation background:
This poem to express feelings was written in the spring of 182 (the fifth year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong), which was the third spring when Su Shi was demoted as the assistant of Yong ying in Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) because of the Wutai Poetry Case.
When the poet and his friends went out in spring, the wind and rain suddenly came, and the friends were deeply embarrassed. However, the poet did not care, took it in stride, and walked slowly.
Central idea:
This word was written in the third spring after Su Shi's fall to Huangzhou. After reading the whole word, we will have a new understanding of the ups and downs of life and the sorrows and joys of emotions.
It meets the wind and rain on the way in the wild, which is a trivial matter in life. It sees the profound meaning in simplicity, and gives birth to a strange alarm in ordinary places, showing a broad-minded and detached mind, and embodies an extraordinary life ideal.
Appreciation:
"Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not sing and walk slowly?" The author used very strong words to describe this rain. The so-called "beating leaves through the forest" means the fierceness of the rain. The raindrops went through the forest and hit the leaves, as well as Su Shi and his companions.
this is of course quite embarrassing. However, Su Shi didn't feel the ferocity of the rain and the mess after getting wet by the rain. In the face of wind and rain, he was carefree and advised his peers to "don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest." Let the wind and rain wreak havoc on you, and I will face it calmly.
Advise fellow travelers to "why not sing and walk slowly". Since the wind and rain of nature cannot be changed, it is better to change our mentality, sing poems and sing songs in the rain and move forward slowly. Why "scream" in the wind and rain? That represents a state of mind to enjoy, especially in a difficult situation.
Leave a little space in your mind to enjoy yourself. Here is mainly the writer's mentality, determination and persistence. Facing the storms of nature and life, you need to be calm and carefree.
considerable determination and perseverance to face it. The word "don't listen" is a denial of the blow of wind and rain, and the word "why not" is an affirmation of the attitude towards leisure life. These two sentences express the author's thoughts and feelings from two aspects: denial and affirmation. ?
"The chilly spring breeze wakes me up, and it's slightly cold, but the hills are slanting to greet me." Here is an interesting and philosophical picture: on the one hand, there is a chilly spring breeze, and the author feels a little cold; On one side, the hill is slanting, and the author feels some warmth.
this is not only to write scenery, but also to express 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 realize this dialectics of life.
instead of sinking into misery and frustration forever, a warm feeling and a ray of hope will rise in the cold awakening. "The hills are slanting but meet each other" is a positive observation of life and a general view.
is Su Shi's spiritual sublimation after suffering and blow. In his other two poems, Su Shi also expressed this idea: "If you want to go to the third night, the bitter rain will eventually clear up." It means that it will clear up after the bitter wind and rain.
