Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not scream and walk slowly. Bamboo staff, mango shoes, and horses are better than horses, who is afraid? A raincoat of mist and rain\Ren's life. The weather is steep, the spring breeze blows away the wine, and it is slightly cold, but the mountain tops are shining slantingly. Looking back at the bleak place where I have always been, there is neither wind, rain nor sunshine when I return.
Vernacular translation:
On March 7, it was raining on Shahu Road. The servant holding the rain gear had left earlier. Everyone who was traveling with him felt very embarrassed. Only I don't think so. After a while, the sky cleared up, so I composed this poem.
Don’t be afraid of the sound of wind and rain in the woods. Why not sing with ease and relax. Carrying a bamboo stick and dragging straw sandals is lighter than riding a horse. These are small things, so what’s so scary about them? Wearing a coir raincoat and letting the lake and the sea pass by you, you can spend your life.
The cool spring breeze woke me up from the drunkenness, and I felt a little cold on my body. The setting sun on the mountain top showed a smile. Looking back at the windy and rainy scene when I came back, it didn’t matter whether it was windy or sunny when I returned.
