"You don't know who you are until you listen to the wind for 800 times", which is a famous sentence of Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It seems to have become a classic, a symbol, representing people's understanding and feelings about life.
Bai Juyi's ancient poems in The Little Book are as follows:
"Summer" Tang Bai Juyi. How to spend the summer in a hospital? There is nothing in front of me but the breeze under the window. The heat dissipation changed from calm to cool, and the room was empty. At this time, it is difficult to spend more time with others.
On the translation of "relieving summer heat";
How can we cool off the heat? Sitting in the yard. There is nothing superfluous in front of us, but a breeze is blowing outside the window. Dispelling hot air depends on inner peace, and cool air is born because the room is empty. At this time, the body and mind can protect themselves, and it is more difficult to be like others.

Bai Juyi (772-846 AD), whose real name was Lotte, was also named Xiangshan layman in his later years. He was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, the main advocate of the new Yuefu movement in the middle Tang Dynasty, and one of the three great poets in the Tang Dynasty. He is the successor of the realistic tradition, arguing that the rich should help the world, while the poor should be immune to it. Born in Xinzheng, Taiyuan, Shanxi (now Xinzheng, Henan), he moved to Xiayi.
Bai Juyi's grandfather, Bai Yong, worked as a county magistrate in Gongxian county, Henan province, and was friends with his neighbor Xinzheng county magistrate at that time. His family moved to Xinzheng when he saw the beautiful scenery in Xinzheng. Bai Juyi himself was born in Xinzheng, Henan (now Xinzheng, Zhengzhou).
Bai Juyi is an advocate of the new Yuefu movement, advocating that "articles should be written in time, and songs and poems should be written for things." Together with Yuan Zhen, they were called "Bai Yuan". Shortly after Bai Juyi was born, a war broke out in Henan. Li Zaipu Town was divided into more than ten states by Henan, and the people suffered from war. When Bai Juyi was two years old, Ren Gongxian's grandfather died in Chang 'an, followed by his grandmother.
Bai Juyi's father, Bai, was first awarded the county magistrate of Pengcheng County in Xuzhou by the secretariat of Songzhou (AD 780). A year later, Bai and Li Yan, the secretariat of Xuzhou, insisted on Xuzhou's meritorious service and were promoted to Xuzhou special driving. In order to avoid the war in Xuzhou, he sent his family to Suzhou for a peaceful life. Bai Juyi was able to spend his childhood in R&F (now Anhui R&F Collection).
His poems have great influence not only in China, but also in Japanese and Korean. Together with Yuan Zhen, he launched the "New Yuefu Movement", and together with Liu Yuxi, he was called "Bai Yuan" and "Bai Liu" in the world. Bai Juyi lived in Xiangshan, Luoyang for a long time in his later years, hence the name "Xiangshan Jushi".
