< p> Ding Feng Bo·It rained on Shahu Road on March 7th
Preface: It rained on Shahu Road on March 7th. The rain gear went first, and everyone in the group was in a panic, but I didn't realize it. It's already clear, so I wrote this word.
Don’t listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not just scream and walk slowly.
A bamboo stick can beat a horse easily, so who is afraid? A coop of mist and rain will last a lifetime.
The steep spring breeze blows away the drunkenness, it is slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly.
Looking back at the desolate place where I came from, there was neither wind, rain nor sunshine when I returned.

Translation
Don’t listen to the wind blowing through the woods, the leaves bringing the sound of wind and rain, it doesn’t matter, I still roar freely and slowly while walking slowly Xu Xing. Wearing straw sandals and holding a bamboo pole is more relaxing than riding a horse or riding a cart. Who is afraid of ups and downs? I ignored these and let the mist and mist accompany me all my life. The cold spring breeze woke me up again, and I felt slightly cold. The setting sun came to greet me on the mountain top. Looking back, the place where it rained when I came was in a depression, and when I returned it was calm again, with no wind, rain, or sunshine.
Appreciation
The first sentence "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest", on the one hand, it exaggerates the violent rain and wind, and on the other hand, it uses "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest". The word "listen" points out that external objects are not enough to linger in one's mind. "Why not scream and walk slowly" is an extension of the previous sentence. Walking slowly in the rain as usual, echoing the short preface "Everyone walking with me is in a panic, I am alone unaware", which also leads to the following "Who is afraid", that is, not afraid. The word "why not" reveals a bit of playfulness and adds to the challenge.
The first two sentences are the hinge of the whole article, and the following sentiments are derived from them. "The bamboo cane and mango shoes are lighter than the horse." The writer of the poem, the bamboo cane and mango shoe, braves the wind and rain and moves forward calmly. With his self-feeling of "the lightness of the horse is better than the horse", he conveys a kind of relaxation and joy of fighting against the wind and rain and smiling proudly in life. and heroic feelings. "You can live your whole life in the mist and rain", this sentence goes a step further, extending from the storm in front of you to the whole life, which effectively strengthens the author's detached feelings of going his own way and not fearing the ups and downs in the face of life's ups and downs.
The above sentences show a broad-minded and unrestrained mind, full of openness and boldness, and embody a unique perception of life. Reading them makes people feel refreshed and open-minded. Be comfortable with it. After the film, we come to the three sentences "The mountain tops are shining slantingly, but they are welcoming each other", which describes the scene of sunny days after rain. These sentences not only correspond to the storm written in the previous film, but also pave the way for the life emotions expressed in the following part.
This finishing touch, full of philosophy of life, expresses the epiphany and revelation that the poet gained in a subtle moment in nature: Rain and sunshine in nature are ordinary and no different, so what does the political situation, honor and disgrace in social life mean? Not worth mentioning? The word "desolate" in the sentence means the sound of wind and rain, which corresponds to the "sound of beating leaves through the forest" in the previous film. The word "wind and rain" is a pun, which not only refers to the wind and rain encountered on the way to the wilderness, but also alludes to the political "wind and rain" that almost killed him and the dangerous journey of life.
Throughout the whole poem, a kind of philosophy of life and attitude towards life that is completely drunk, without joy or sorrow, and forgets both victory and defeat, is presented to the reader. After reading the whole poem, we will have a new understanding of the ups and downs of life and the joys and sorrows of emotions.
The small preface before the poem says: "On March 7, it rained on the Shahu Road. The rain gear went first, and the companions were in a panic, so I didn't realize it. Then it cleared up. Pretend to do this.” According to "Dongpo Zhilin" records: "Thirty miles southeast of Huangzhou is Shahu, also known as Luoshidian. I bought a field there because I went to Xiangtian." The whole poem is closely related to a small thing in life, such as encountering rain on the way, to write about my inner feelings at that time. Words such as "wind and rain", "bamboo sticks and mango shoes", and "slanting light" in the poem are not only literal descriptions of the scene in front of you, but also have symbolic meanings. They are the externalization of the poet's life circumstances and emotional experience. The whole article is lyrical on the spot, the language is natural and smooth, contains profound philosophy of life, and embodies Dongpo's unique aesthetic style.
The first sentence says that raindrops hit the leaves and make a sound. This is an objective existence; and the word "Don't listen" means that the external objects are not enough to linger. , the author’s character emerges. The "why not" sentence is an extension of the previous sentence. Yin Xiao, chanting poems and roaring, expresses a peaceful state of mind, which here means reciting poems. The poet doesn't care about wind and rain, so what is his specific reaction? He was chanting verses in the rain, and his steps were even slower than before! There is a hint of stubbornness in his cool and calm manner. The three sentences "Bamboo Sticks and Mango Shoes" are not real scenes, but the author's thoughts at the time, or they can also be regarded as his philosophy of life and political declaration. Mango shoes, that is, straw sandals. Who is afraid? There is nothing to be afraid of. Lifetime refers to daily life and ordinary life. It doesn't matter whether the author really wore "bamboo sticks and mango shoes" at that time; since the preface has said "the rain gear goes first", there is no possibility of wearing a raincoat at this time. What should be considered is that carrying a bamboo stick and wearing straw sandals are originally the attire of idlers or hermits, while horses are used by officials and busy people. The so-called "horse hooves are busy on the pedestrian road." They are all traveling tools, so they can be compared. However, although the bamboo cane shoes are light, walking in the rain will inevitably lead to sloppiness. How can they be compared with the speed of riding a horse? Playing with the meaning of the word, the word "light" does not refer to the briskness of walking, but clearly refers to the lightness of the mood, which means "without official status, the body is light", and "there are no vulgar things around the eyes, and the body is light even if you are sick" (Du Fu's "Man Cheng" The same goes for the word "light" in "Two Songs" (Part 1).
The poet thinks, as long as you face it with a relaxed and open-minded mood, the wind and rain in nature or politics (referring to relegated life) are nothing, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, isn’t this how I have been through ups and downs over the years? At this time, I will recite poems and let the wind and rain go!
