When I was a child, I studied with Zi Zhan and never separated for a day. After entering the official position, I expected that I would be separated and be an official everywhere in the future. So, one day I read Wei Suzhou's poem "Know the stormy night, then go to bed", and I was deeply moved. I agree to finish my work early, retire and live in seclusion, and compose poems. Su Shi left me a poem when he was a judge in Fengxiang. When can we listen to the rain together on a rainy night? Later he went to Hangzhou, and I stayed in Huaiyang and Jinan for seven years. When Su Shi arrived in Xuzhou, he was able to meet each other and spend a hundred days together. At that time, he lived in Xiaoyao Hall, remembering the vows made before the rainy night more than ten years ago, and wrote two short poems:
Behind the free and unfettered temple, thousands of trees are searched, and the rain sounds at midnight.
Looking for the Old Testament in bed by mistake, I don't know how to wander in Pengcheng.
Behind the Xiaoyao Temple, a few thousands of feet-high trees rustled in the distance at midnight.
I am glad that I have fulfilled my promise to listen to the rain at night in bed, but I have temporarily forgotten that I am just wandering in Pengcheng.
Qiu Lai East Pavilion is as cool as water, and guests are drunk as mud when they go up the mountain.
Sleeping in the north window, I can't breathe, the wind blows loose bamboo, and the rain is quiet.
In autumn, the night in the official residence is as cold as water. After I leave, you will be drunk as a fiddler.
Sleeping in the north window, I can't wake up, but I can hear the wind, pine and bamboo, cold rain and sadness outside the window.
