Winter nights in Cen Can.
Original text:
Vast sweat and frost blow the world, and there is no business in hot springs and fire wells.
Zeguo dragons and snakes are frozen, and Nanshan is sparse.

Strong winds mixed with frost and snow raged between heaven and earth, and hot spring fire wells (possibly charcoal stoves) were lifeless.
The dragons and snakes in the rivers and seas are too cold to stretch out (in other words, the rivers and seas are too cold to stretch out like dragons and snakes), and even the evergreen pines and cypresses have faded green and become thinner.
Make an appreciative comment
When people express their feelings in the cold winter, they mainly want to express that winter is very cold. If there is any deep meaning, we can only look for the times and environment at that time. Cen Can was a frontier poet in the Tang Dynasty, and there may be a soldier's thoughts of returning home. Homesickness is colder in winter.
