Origin: "A drop in the ocean"-a millet in the vast sea. This is a metaphor for smallness. Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, used this sentence in Fu on a Thousand Red Walls.
In Song Shenzong, Su Shi was demoted to "Huangzhou Yingyong Deputy Ambassador". At that time, Huangzhou's yamen was located in Huanggang, Hubei. There is a scenic spot near Huanggang called Chibi Collection, also called Chibi. On the north bank of the Yangtze River, people say that it was a famous battlefield where Wu and Wei fought during the Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yu, the general of Wu, once defeated Cao Cao's 800,000 troops.
It is also said that the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms Battle of Red Cliffs is not here, but in the northeast of Jiayu County, Hubei Province, on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Legends vary. The Red Cliff in Huangzhou, whether it was the battlefield of that year or not, has also become a monument for people to visit.
When Su Shi was in Huangzhou, he visited Chibi twice and wrote the famous Red Cliff Fu twice. He also wrote the words "Red Cliff Nostalgia". "Former Red Cliff Fu" begins with a scene of boating on a moonlit night, and then describes a quarrel with a companion, from which the issue of attitude towards life is mentioned.

Appreciate:
This is Su Shi's view on the impermanence of guest life, in order to forgive each other.
The guests once "admired the infinity of the Yangtze River" and wished to "embrace the bright moon and end up long". Su Shi took Jiang Yue Ming Yue as a metaphor and put forward that "the deceased is like this, but never had it; If the surplus is lacking, the dead will not ebb and flow. If we look at things from the perspective of change, the existence of heaven and earth is only a blink of an eye; From the same point of view, things and human beings are endless, so we don't have to envy rivers, bright moons and heaven and earth.
Naturally, there is no need to "mourn for my life for a moment." This shows Su Shi's open-minded world outlook and outlook on life. He is in favor of looking at the problem from multiple angles instead of absolutizing it. Therefore, in the face of adversity, he can maintain an open-minded, detached, optimistic and adaptive mental state, get rid of the impermanence of life and treat life rationally.
Then, the author further explains that everything in the world has its own owner, and individuals cannot force it. The breeze on the river can be heard, the bright moon in the mountains is colorful, the mountains are endless, the moon is eternal, the world is selfless, and music entertains people. The author can wander around and enjoy himself. This situation is due to Li Bai's "Xiangyang Song": "The breeze and bright moon don't need a penny to buy, and Yushan won't be pushed", and then it deepened.
