On March 7th, it rained on Hu Sha Road, and the rain gear came first, and everyone in the same trade was in a mess. I didn't feel it either. It has cleared up, so just pretend to be like this.
Don't pay attention to the beating rain in the forest. Mei sings a long whistle and walks leisurely. Bamboo poles and sandals are more dexterous than riding horses. What's to be afraid of? A raincoat and hemp fiber, despite the wind and rain, still live my life. The coolness of spring breeze awakens my wine, and the cold begins to be cold, and the peak of the sun is the sun, but it is satisfied in time. Looking back at the place where I met the wind and rain, going back, for me, there is no wind and rain, but it is still sunny.
Among the literati of past dynasties, Su Shi is undoubtedly a legendary and experienced writer. His open-minded philosophy of life, perfect personality ideal and versatile peerless talent shine in historical time and space. He became an idol admired by later scholars. Lin Yutang, a modern writer, worships him very much and wrote to Su Shichuan, saying, "He is a charming, creative, upright, broad-minded and unique person, a great humanist, a friend of the people, a great writer, a great calligrapher, an innovative painter, an experimenter in wine making, an engineer, a person who hates Puritanism and a Buddhist. A political naysayer, a vagrant in the moonlight, a poet ... "As modern people, we still have considerable recognition of Su Shi's philosophy of life. In today's increasingly fierce social competition and increasing psychological pressure, Su Shi's works are like a freshener, soothing our impetuous hearts. They are also like morning bells and evening drums, reminding us to settle down and look at everything in the world with a quiet heart. His words "set off a storm? Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest is such a masterpiece.
This word was written in the fifth year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong (1082). Three years ago (1079), Su Shi, then the new magistrate of Huzhou, was suddenly taken to Beijing by an envoy of the imperial court, and Mr. Dongpo, who was in shock, was inexplicably put into the prison of Beijing. In prison, under torture, the charges turned out to be that when he was working in Hangzhou, he often wrote small poems and complained in them, sometimes expressing different opinions on the new law (Wang Anshi's political reform) and sometimes criticizing its abuses. However, the bureaucratic clique used this as an excuse to attack Su Shi for "slandering the imperial court". This is the famous literary inquisition in the Northern Song Dynasty-"Wutai Poetry Case". Su Shi suffered both physical and mental torture in prison and was on the verge of death. Later, after many rescues, he survived, and after he was released from prison, he was demoted to assistant to the ambassador who should be stationed in Huangzhou forever. /kloc-in the first month of 0/080, Su Shi, who was exhausted physically and mentally, made a long journey and set foot on the land of Huangzhou. In this remote but scenic Chutian realm, Mr. Dongpo, who runs through Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, looks up at the sky, takes the law from the ground, thinks about various problems of the universe, life and society, and after a purgatory-like spiritual journey, he finally gets spiritual liberation and enters a clear realm. Su Shi, a talented poet, is excellent in both poetry and prose, and has written Red Cliff Fu and Nian Nu Jiao before and after. "Red Cliff Nostalgia" and "Set off a Storm? Don't listen to immortal poems such as "the sound of beating leaves in the Woods" to express your spiritual exploration and gains.
1082 One day, Mr. Dongpo, who was living in poverty, went to see his friends and asked the government for dozens of acres of wasteland to cultivate it himself. On the way, he was caught in the rain. Because there is no rain gear, his peers are in a mess, but he walks leisurely in the rain. This is an ordinary rain, which is used to by ordinary people. However, Su Shi, who knows the universe and the way of life, is deeply saddened and encouraged. With the gentle singing, he became a swan song.
Let's first look at the inscription, "Why don't you sing slowly if you don't listen to the beating of leaves in the forest?" The author used very strong words to describe the rain. The so-called "beating leaves through the forest" is the fierceness of the rain. Raindrops went through the forest and hit the leaves, as well as Su Shi and his companions. This is of course quite embarrassing. But Su Shi didn't feel the ferocity of the rain and the mess after getting wet by the rain. Facing the wind and rain, he was carefree and advised his peers "don't listen to the sound of leaves beating in the forest." Let the wind and rain ravage you, and I will face it calmly. Advise fellow travelers to "why not walk slowly with a song". Since the wind and rain of nature cannot be changed, it is better to change your mind and walk slowly with a poem and a song in the rain. Why "scream" in the wind and rain? That represents an appreciation mentality, that is, in difficult situations, there is a little space in the mind that you can have leisure to enjoy. Here is mainly the writer's mentality, determination and persistence. Facing the storms of nature and life, you need to face them with a leisurely attitude and considerable determination and perseverance. 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 both negative and positive aspects.
Walking in the rain, according to normal life, riding a horse is certainly better than bamboo straw sandals, but Su Shi said: "Bamboo straw sandals are lighter than horses. Who is afraid? " Of course, this is not realism, but to continue to write about my mentality at that time. When you have a calm and carefree attitude, even walking in the mud with bamboo poles and sandals is better than riding a horse and whipping away. There is also a contrast between two kinds of life, one is the civilian life with bamboo sticks and shoes, and the other is the aristocratic life with fat horses and light hair. After experiencing political ups and downs, Su Shi increasingly agrees with this real and plain civilian life. "Bamboo Slips" and "Mango Shoes" are important images used by Su Shi to express civilian life, and they are often used in his poems, such as "When I first entered Lushan Mountain": "Mango Shoes are green bamboo slips, hanging a hundred yuan tour." Dongpo: "I don't doubt looking for the right slope, and I love the sound of dragging my staff." "Stay in the Garden of Wisdom": "A monk's monastery in Mo Wen knocks on the door with a stick to see bamboo." Although Su Shi is a scholar and an official, he is a civilian artist who often goes deep into the people and leads a civilian life. "Bamboo Slippers" is a typical civilian image of Su Dongpo and a true portrayal of his civilian personality.
Walking in the wind and rain with bamboo poles and shoes is a hard life, but Su Shi walked so smartly and calmly. For this kind of life, he further encouraged himself: "Who is afraid?" It means that I am not afraid of such hardships and hardships. This is a rhetorical question intended to emphasize this attitude towards life. Why should we emphasize this attitude towards life? Because for Su Shi, this is his attitude towards life all his life, so he said, "A misty rain will last a lifetime." "A misty rain" means that the whole hemp fiber is in the misty rain, in fact, it means that his whole body is in the wind and rain. This "misty rain" also symbolizes the storm of life and politics. And "Ren Pingsheng" means that he has always been so calm, calm and philosophical, despite the storms all his life. This sentence is simply a portrayal of Su Shi's life. He was constantly hit politically, and he fell again and again, and finally he was exiled to the wild Hainan Island in his later years. But mentally, he has never been defeated and has always maintained a fresh and agile heart. He was demoted to Hainan Island, and he can still write such a childlike sentence as "Who makes up the clouds and the moon, and the sky and the sea are clear". Su Shi likes the image of "a misty rain". He appreciated the phrase "green bamboo hat, green bamboo hat, no need to pay back the oblique wind and drizzle" in the poem "Fisherman" written by the poet Zhang in the Tang Dynasty, and hated its lingering tune, so he changed it to the phrase in "Huanxisha" ("I avoid a light bamboo hat and follow the green bamboo hat everywhere") and entered the song.
Let's look at the text again, and then turn to the scene and feelings after the rain. "The cold spring breeze woke me up. It's a little cold, but the mountain is inclined." Here is an interesting and philosophical picture: on the one hand, there is a chilly spring breeze, which the author feels a little cold; On one side is an oblique hill, and the author feels a little warm. This is not only writing about scenery, but also expressing 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 have an understanding of this dialectics of life, you will not fall into misery and depression forever, but will rise a trace of warmth and hope in a cold awakening. "The hills meet obliquely" is a positive observation of life, a general view and a spiritual sublimation of Su Shi after suffering and blows. Su Shi also expressed this idea in his other two poems: "If you want to go to the third night, the bitter rain will eventually clear up." It means it will clear up after the bitter wind and rain.
In fact, the above three sentences only express a Confucian realm and an attitude towards life after China's entry into WTO. On this basis, Su Shi further understood life: "Looking back at the bleak place, there is no rain or shine." After returning home, look at the windy and rainy places. Where there is rain, there is sunshine. The so-called wind and rain, the so-called sunshine, is just an illusion in people's minds. Su Shi entered the "undifferentiated realm" in Buddhism here. In Buddhism's view, "all laws are only revealed by the heart", and all images in the world are conjured up by the heart. If you are calm, the world will naturally be quiet. In fact, there is no difference in everything in the world, but only when we have different hearts can we have the whole world. If our hearts enter the realm of indifference, what is the difference between everything in the world? Therefore, Buddhism advises people to be "free from attachments", not to be persistent in everything and not to be bound by foreign things. Whether you succeed or fail, don't care too much. The so-called "do not disgrace the mission." What Su Shi expressed here is such a philosophy. After the return (the conversion of the soul is understandable), the soul has entered a state of peace. Look at the storm or sunshine of life. What is the difference? Are insignificant. He is here to advise people not to be frightened by the wind and rain, and not to be carried away by the sun. Everything should be taken in stride. This seems a bit idealistic. In fact, this is a great realm of life and a great transcendence after understanding the life of the universe. This also reflects Su Shi's personality realm, which should be said that Su Shi's life has basically reached. In his later years, after he was exiled to Hainan Island, he changed these three sentences slightly and wrote another poem "Lonely Sleep": "I feel lonely in the afternoon and want to get drunk and snore. Looking back at the bleak land, rain or shine. " It can be seen that Su Shi honed his personality realm in this way and ran through his life. The whole word ends with such a philosophical sentence, which is full of charm and thought-provoking.
