The verses of the first sunny days after the snow are as follows:
1. "Looking South to the Remaining Snow"

Zhongnan has beautiful Yin ridges and snow-covered clouds.
The forest is bright and clear, and the city is getting colder at dusk.
Translation:
Looking to the south, the North Mountain is beautiful, covered with white snow, like floating clouds.
It was clear after the snow, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone between the treetops. In the evening, the city of Chang'an became a bit colder.
2. "The Snow Queen in the Mountains"
Qing Dynasty: Zheng Xie
When I open the door in the morning, the mountains are covered with snow, the snow is clear, the clouds are light, and the sun is cold.
The eaves are not dripping with plum blossom jelly, a kind of loneliness that is not leisurely.
Translation:
When I woke up in the morning and opened the door, I saw that the top of the mountain was covered with heavy snow. At this time, the sky has cleared up, and the light of the rising sun has become colder through the light white clouds.
The snow on the eaves has not yet begun to melt, and the plum blossom branches in the courtyard are still frozen by ice and snow. How unusual is such a cold and lonely atmosphere!
3. "Response to Snow in the Garden"
Tang Dynasty: Questions from the Song Dynasty
When the Forbidden Immortal Horse comes to visit, the green flag leans on it in the distance Chuntai. ?
I don’t know if the rain in the courtyard has fallen this morning, but I suspect that the forest flowers bloomed last night.
Translation:
The morning sun breaks through the clouds, like a royal chariot approaching from the horizon. Whoever is wearing a green robe and looking out from the tall building is like a green flag fluttering in the wind beside the spring viewing platform.
I didn’t know that snowflakes had fallen in the courtyard today. I thought they were flowers that bloomed on the branches in the courtyard last night.
