Where was Su Shi demoted to Ding Fengbo?

Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou (now Huanggang City, Hubei Province).

This poem was written in the fifth spring of Yuanfeng, Song Shenzong (1082), which is the third spring when Su Shi was demoted as the deputy envoy of Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) because of Wutai Poetry Case. The poet and his friends went out in the spring when a storm suddenly came. Friends were deeply embarrassed, but the poet didn't care, took it calmly and walked slowly.

Through the wind and rain on the way to the wild, this word shows profound meaning in simplicity, wonderfulness in ordinary places, broad-minded and detached mind, and an extraordinary ideal of life.

Appreciation of the whole poem:

The first sentence, "don't listen to the sound of leaves beating in the forest", on the one hand makes the storm crazy, on the other hand points out that foreign things are not enough. "Why not sing and walk slowly" is an extension of the previous sentence. Walking in the rain as usual, echoing the small sequence "My colleagues are in a mess, and I don't feel lonely", leads to the following "Who is afraid", that is, I am not afraid to come. Xu xing and chanting are double writing; The word "why not" is a bit playful and adds to the challenge.

The first two sentences are the pivot of the whole article, and the words and feelings behind them are born from this. "Bamboo shoes are lighter than horses", the lyricist, bamboo shoes, braved the wind and rain and walked calmly, conveying a relaxed, happy and heroic feeling of fighting the storm and facing life with a smile.

The sentence "a misty rain will last a lifetime" goes further, pushing it from the immediate wind and rain to the whole life, effectively strengthening the author's detached feelings in the face of ups and downs in life, not afraid of ups and downs, and taking his own road.
