Introduction of works
Jiang Xue by Liu Zongyuan was chosen as one of the 300 Tang poems. Jiang Xue is a five-character landscape poem written by Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It describes a cold river, with no pedestrians and birds, only an old man alone in the boat, fishing silently. This is a picture of the snow scene in Zhangjiang Township. The mountain is snow and the road is white. The birds disappeared, and so did the people. The distant scenery is boundless, and your scenery is lonely and cold. The artistic conception is secluded and lonely. The fisherman's image is beautifully carved, clear and complete. Poetry uses rhyme, which always enhances taste and is powerful. Poets through the ages always talk to each other. Throughout the ages, Dan Qing's wonderful hands have been scrambling to draw many moving snow scenes on the river.

Most of Liu Zongyuan's landscape poems describe a relatively cold realm, in order to express his anguish and indignation of persecution and relegation. This poem depicts a fisherman fishing alone in a cold river, expressing the indomitable character of the poet Yongzhen despite his loneliness after the failure of innovation.
The first two sentences "There are no birds in a hundred mountains and no footprints in a thousand paths" describe the snow scene, while "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing" are all exaggerations. There must be birds in the mountains and people on the road; But "birds fly away" and "people disappear" The poet used the scene of birds traveling far away to render a desolate and lonely realm. Although the word "snow" is not used directly, readers seem to see the overwhelming snow and feel the biting cold. This is a reflection of the bad political environment at that time.
Three or four sentences "a boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing in the cold river-snow" depict the image of a fisherman fishing alone in the cold river. In a place where there is heavy snow and almost no life, there is a lonely boat carrying a fisherman in hemp fiber and fishing alone on the snowy river. This fisherman's image is obviously a portrayal of the poet himself, which expresses the poet's lofty spirit of perseverance and integrity despite his loneliness after the failure of political reform.

Jiang Xue.
Author: Liu Zongyuan
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.
