Interpretation: Sit quietly in front of the window and listen to the sound of rain dripping, and stand under the eaves and listen to the wind hissing.
"Sit by the window and listen to the rain, and stand under the eaves and listen to the wind." It is a pair of couplets, which once appeared in the movie "Mo Wen West East", in which Chen Chusheng played Wu Linglan listening to the piano in the porch, and the wind and snow blew the violinist's robe.
A similar poem is Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, "Autumn frost flies late, leaving lotus to listen to the sound of rain".
Interpretation: Clouds in the autumn sky last for several days, and the season of frost flying is late. Leave the withered lotus leaves on the ground and listen to the bleak rain in the middle of the night.
The origin story of "sitting quietly listening to the rain"
In the writer Liu Yiqing's Story of Life in National Southwest Associated University, there is a passage that records a Fujian gentleman in National Southwest Associated University:
The school building of National Southwest Associated University is very simple. The roof is made of iron and the windows have no glass. Kunming is rainy. Whenever it rains, raindrops jingle on the tin roof, and the professor will raise his voice when giving lectures.
Once, when Professor Chen was in class, the students couldn't hear the teacher at all because of the heavy rain. Professor Chen wrote the words "Enjoy the rain and dew after class" on the blackboard. This interesting story was widely circulated in the United Nations General Assembly, laughing at the so-called "wind and rain reading sound, sound in the ear."
The name of Professor Chen in Liu Yiqing's works is from Fuzhou, and he also has a more famous uncle-Chen. The scene of "sitting still and listening to the rain" in the movie Nothing Needed is obviously adapted from this story of Chen Daisun.
