What does Song Yu mean in Feng Fu that "the wind is born in the ground and begins at the end of the green apple"?
Translated text
King Xiang of Chu visited the Lantai Palace accompanied by Song Yu and Jing Ke.
When the wind was rustling, King Xiang of Chu opened his clothes to meet the wind and said, "How refreshing the wind is! Is this what I share with ordinary people? " Song Yu replied: "This is just the wind that your majesty enjoys alone. How can ordinary people enjoy it with your majesty? "
King Xiang of Chu said: "The wind is a kind of airflow between heaven and earth, which is general and unimpeded and blows to everyone, regardless of high or low." Now you just think that I am the only one enjoying the wind. Is there any reason? " Song Yu replied: "I heard the teacher say that the crooked branches of bitter citrus reticulata will attract birds to build nests and wind will be generated in the cave." Bird's nest and wind appear according to different environmental conditions, so the momentum of wind will naturally vary according to different environmental conditions. "
King Xiang of Chu said, "Where does the wind start?" Song Yu replied: "The wind originated from the earth and floated from the tip of the green apple. Gradually enter the ravine and growl at the mouth of the cave. Then continue along the mountain bend and dance wildly under the pine and cypress. It moves briskly, hitting wood and rocks, and making a banging sound. Its potential is high, like a raging fire, and it is heard like thunder, but it is uncertain. Blow down rocks, break trees and impact dense forests and grasslands. When the wind is about to drop, the wind will spread in all directions and can only penetrate into the small hole and shake the door bolt. After the wind subsided, the scenery was bright and the breeze rippled. "
"So the cool glory rises and falls, crosses the high wall and enters the deep palace. It blows flowers and trees, spreading melancholy fragrance, hovering between laurel and pepper trees, swirling in the turbulent water field. It stirs the lotus, sweeps the grass, blows away Qin Heng, soothes the heart and separates the newborn weeping willows. It spins, withers all kinds of flowers and plants, then wanders leisurely in the courtyard, enters the main hall of the palace, floats into the silk curtain and passes through the deep inner room. This is the wind of kings. "
"So the wind blows on people, and its situation only makes people feel chilly and shivering, making people breathless. Cool enough to cure diseases, hangover, make people alert, healthy and easy to move. This is the glory of the king. "
King Xiang of Chu said, "The wind of kings, you speak very well! Can you talk about ordinary people? "
Song Yu replied: "The wind of the people suddenly blew up in the blocked alley, and then the dust was raised. The sand whirled through the pores, invaded the portal, blew up the sand, dispersed the cold ash, stirred up the dirty things, and gave off a rotten smell. Then it was blown to the poor family and blown to the home. "
"So the wind blows on people, and its situation will only make people upset and depressed. It will drive away warm and damp pathogens and make people infected with wet diseases; This wind blows into my heart, which makes people sad and sad. They are very ill and have a high fever. When it blows on people's lips, it will cause cold sores. When it blows on people's eyes, it will cause people to have a stroke and twitch. People can't chew and suck, nor can they live. This is the female wind of ordinary people. "
