"Let life be carried on with a straw rain - cape in mist and rain." ?“???????”) This line is from Calming the Waves: Don't Listen to the Sound of Rain Beating Through the Woods by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty. Literally, it means: Wearing a straw rain - cape, I let myself be exposed to wind and rain throughout my life. Here, "rain - cape" refers to a straw - woven garment used in ancient times to keep off rain and snow. "Let" implies acceptance and endurance, and "life" represents one's entire life. On a deeper level, this line uses a small, everyday scene (encountering rain on the road) to represent the whole of life. It symbolizes that life is full of difficulties, setbacks, and hardships like wind and rain. However, the author expresses a calm, detached, and open - minded attitude towards these. No matter how the external environment changes, he will stay true to himself and not be affected. It reflects Su Shi's detached sentiment. Despite being in adversity and facing repeated setbacks, he still maintains his own way and is not afraid of hardships. It also conveys a transcendent and refined life ideal.
