The poet believes that the wind and rain in nature can also shelter from the wind and rain, and the wind and rain in life have nowhere to hide. It is better to face, accept and find a real destination for his soul, that is, tranquility, detachment and broadmindedness, which shows that he faces everything with an optimistic and open-minded attitude.
Writing background
In the fifth spring of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou in the third spring. On March 5th, he went to Hu Sha to buy fields. Hu Sha is three miles southeast of Huangzhou, also known as snail shop. Two days later, Dongpo and his friends drank a few glasses of wine, boarded a pair of awning shoes and held a bamboo pole, and went to see the ground happily.
It was spring, rain or shine, and it was sunny when going out, so he let the boy with rain gear go first. Unexpectedly, the weather turned cloudy on the way, and a flurry suddenly struck. All my friends looked embarrassed, except Dongpo, who was oblivious, strode like a meteor and walked slowly while whistling leisurely. Soon after the rain cleared, he wrote this word.
Encountering wind and rain is a trivial matter in our daily life, but Su Shi can see profound meaning in ordinary places and leave this famous article for future generations.
