Set the storm
Su shi
Original:
On March 7, it rained in the middle of Shahu Road, and the rain gear went first, and the peers were all embarrassed, and Yu Du was unconscious. It has been clear, so I made this word.
Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not groan and walk slowly. Bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?
The steep spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine.
Translations:
Don't listen to the wind and rain through the trees and leaves, it doesn't matter, I still chant freely and slowly. Wearing straw sandals and carrying a bamboo cane is easier than riding a horse and riding a cart, who is afraid of the wind and rain? I ignore these things, and let the misty smoke and rain accompany me all my life.
The cold spring breeze woke me up again, and I felt a little cold, but the slanting sun on the top of the mountain came to greet me. Looking back, the place where I came in the rain was depressed and deserted (lonely and cold, lifeless), and when I returned, it was calm, there was no wind or rain, and it was not a sunny day.
Analysis:
This poem describes the small things in life of traveling with friends and encountering wind and rain on the way in the wilderness, giving birth to strange scenes in ordinary places, and seeing deep meaning in simplicity, showing the lyricist's broad and detached mind, moving forward calmly, and embodying his otherworldly ideals of life.
Some people say that this sentence can sum up Su Shi's life, and he always moves forward calmly.

Writing Background:
This poem was written in the spring of the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082) of Song Shenzong, when it was the third year when Su Shi was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment because of the "Wutai Poetry Case". The lyricist and his friends suddenly encountered wind and rain on a spring outing, but the lyricist didn't care, handled it calmly, chanted calmly, and walked slowly.
Reflections:
A small episode of encountering the wind and rain on a trip, there is no panic to dodge, there is no joy and lyricism after the wind and rain, as if nothing happened, he ignores these and still moves forward. His disregard for this storm is like his composure in the face of life's circumstances. No matter how far his life falls, he lives more chic than others.
Don't let other things affect you, do what you should do in life, don't care about the things around you, it doesn't matter, and still live your life firmly.
There will always be a lot of ups and downs in life, which seems to be something very normal in the author's opinion, don't be afraid of these ups and downs, move forward according to the plan, and be fearless of the wind and rain. Because the wind and rain will always pass, and there is also a scenery in the wind and rain, so it is good to experience it naturally.
In the same way, there will always be all kinds of situations in life, no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, you don't need to avoid them, and the more you dodge, the more you are afraid, so you don't need to be afraid of difficulties, the difficulties will always pass, and when you look back later, the difficulties will be calm again.
Ancient poems will always leave infinite reverie for future generations, which may be the tacit understanding of thought through time and space. The rain in the sky will still fall, but I don't know who will fall.
In the same way, the ancient poems have been passed down for thousands of years, and I think it is not only the subtlety of the words and the superb writing techniques, but more importantly, the wisdom and methods conveyed by the ancients are still convincing and praised.
