There are no birds flying over those mountains, and there are no traces of people in those paths.
A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.
Explanation:
On all the mountains, birds are gone, and on all the roads, there are no traces of people.
On a lonely boat on the river, an old man in a bamboo hat was fishing alone on the cold river covered with heavy snow.
Extended data:
This poem was written during Liu Zongyuan's exile in Yongzhou (AD 805-8 15). During Yongzhen Yuan's reign (805), Liu Zongyuan took part in Yongzhen Innovation Movement initiated by Wang Group, and soon the reform failed. Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima and exiled for ten years. The oppression of the sinister environment did not crush him. He expresses the value and ideal interest of life through poetry.
What this fisherman catches is not fish, but snow, which also points out the reason why the poet is lonely-because he is not a layman, but has his own higher pursuit-something as clean as snow, or a realm.
Liu isn't. She won't pretend to fish for fame in the name of fishing, and naturally she won't get the latter's "success before her death". If it is really "cold people don't eat still water at night", it can only be "full of boats and empty moons." After all, time is against me, and there is nothing I can do.
In this way, the poet's mood changed from grief and indignation to loneliness, and then to loneliness and complacency with many helplessness. In just 20 words, the poet, like Leng Xue, is covered up with surging feelings all over the world, which contains amazing tension.
From a literary point of view, the vision of this poem is from Qianshan to Wanjing, from a lonely boat to a fisherman, and finally to a fishing line, from grand to implicit, with a distinct sense of hierarchy, which is really a model of literary language montage. This construction method coincides with the evolution of the poet from paying attention to external things to pursuing self-persistence.
