回来以后，他写下了一首词，就是流传至今的“定风波”。开头两句是：莫听穿林打叶声，何妨吟啸且徐行。
huílai yǐhòu tā xiě xià le yì shǒu cí jiùshì liúchuán zhìjīn de Dìngfēngbō kāitóu liǎng jù shì mò tīng chuān lín dǎ yè shēng héfáng yín xiào qiě xú xíng
When he got back he wrote a lyric, the "Calming the Waves" still known today. It begins: "Don't listen to the rain piercing the woods and beating the leaves; why not chant and whistle and walk on slowly?"
