It is not from ancient poetry, it was written by a netizen.
There is a similar sentence "No matter the wind or waves, it is better than strolling in the garden" comes from Mao Zedong's "Swimming in the Water Melody".
"Regardless of the wind and waves, it is better than taking a leisurely stroll in the garden"

"Swimming"
Drink Changsha water and eat Wuchang fish. Thousands of miles across the Yangtze River, the scenery is as beautiful as the sky. No matter the wind blows or the waves hit, it is better than taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. Today I have peace of mind. The Master said on the river: The deceased is like a man!
The wind is moving, the tortoises and snakes are still, and the grand plan is in motion. A bridge connects the north and the south, turning the natural chasm into a thoroughfare. The stone walls of the Xijiang River were erected to cut off the clouds and rain in Wushan Mountain, and the high gorge led out of the flat lake. The goddess should be fine, but she should shock the world.
2. Appreciation:
The upper part of the poem depicts the majestic and magnificent scenery of the motherland, and expresses the poet's passion for swimming in the Yangtze River. The folk song of the Three Kingdoms period "I would rather drink Jianye water than eat Wuchang fish" reflects a feudal rural concept and conservative consciousness of settling down and relocating. Mao Zedong slightly changed it, contrary to the original intention, and it reads in a friendly, natural and interesting way, expressing his infinitely deep feelings for the socialist motherland.
The bottom line of the poem shows a magnificent picture of socialist construction and describes the great changes of the Yangtze River under socialist conditions. The first three sentences start with the word "wind", followed by the meaning of "wind", focusing on the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. What follows is an outlook on the future caused by the sight before us. In just two strokes, not only the rapid construction of the bridge and the majestic image of the bridge that will be seen in the sky are described, but also the historical significance of a bridge connecting the north and south of the Yangtze River. In the three lines of "Gengli", the thoughts are far away, and the mind wanders to the Three Gorges. A magnificent and magical ideal picture is displayed in the words.
3. Creative background:
Mao Zedong loved swimming throughout his life, which is well known to the world. In "Qinyuan Chun. Changsha" written in 1925, the line "Strike the water in the middle of the stream, and the waves stop the flying boat" is an artistic portrayal of the poet's courageous forge ahead and cutting through waves in his youth. Mao Zedong also had special feelings for the Yangtze River. He compared the vast Yangtze River to the best natural swimming pool and swam in the Yangtze River many times. This poem was inspired by Mao Zedong's poem when he took a swim in the Yangtze River in Wuhan in 1956.
