What does it mean to lean against the building and listen to the wind and rain, but overlook the Jianghu road?

Leaning against the building to listen to the wind and rain, ignoring the rivers and lakes, means: leaning against the window of the room, listening to the sound of rain quietly, watching the road when you come. It shows that people have reached the realm of forgetting oneself who sees through the world of mortals and stays away from the secular.

Rely on the building to listen to the wind and rain, regardless of the rivers and lakes; I only saw her tears wet her cheeks, and I don't know if she hates herself or herself.

Create background

In the second year of Huichang (842), it was published as Huangzhou Secretariat. The reason why Du Mu was released is not recorded in the history books. Du Mu thought it was the exclusion of Prime Minister Li Deyu. Why is there no Mu in Li Deyu? Some people think that Du Mu is charming and informal, which does not conform to Li Deyu's ideas. In addition, there is also a struggle between Niu and Li. Du Mu has a good personal relationship with Niu's monks and Confucian scholars, and Li Deyu may think that they are one side.

Du Mu was relegated to his post in Huangzhou, but he was full of confidence in himself, and the literati exiled local officials one by one, whether they were officials or literati. Shi Yun's "three years to clear the magistrate, a hundred thousand snowflakes and silver", Du Mu's apartment in Huangzhou is "to make your family live like a savage", and he is honest in politics. In this biography of the Tang book, he is called "upright and upright". Ming Hongzhi's Huangzhou Fuzhi praised him for his "talent and fame, many strange festivals, and the officials and the people believed in it."
