Qing Dynasty: Zheng Xie
Opening the door in the morning is full of snow, the snow is clear, the clouds are light and the sun is cold.
There is no drop of plum blossom frozen on the eaves, which is a kind of loneliness.

From the early morning, I opened the door and saw the snow all over the mountain. After the snow in Chu Qing, the white clouds were bleak, and even the sunshine became cold.
The snow on the eaves has not melted yet, and the plum branches in the yard are still frozen by snow and ice. How unusual it is to be so lofty and tenacious!

This is a poem about life experience.
The snow on the house has not melted, and the court has not opened because of the cold.

Idle: ordinary, ordinary.

After Snow in the Mountain depicts the snow scene of a mountain house in winter.
"Opening the door in the morning is full of snow, the snow is clear and the sun is cold." In the early morning, the poet pushed open the door, and it was freezing outside, wrapped in silver, and the rising sun seemed lifeless. In the yard, the long ice petals under the eaves show no signs of melting, and the plum blossoms in the corner seem to be frozen and have no intention of opening. The first two sentences of this poem describe an early morning. After the snow, the earth is covered with silver, the sun rises and the clouds are light and the wind is light. After the snow, Chu Qing was freezing.
Plum blossoms are not dripping under the eaves, which is a kind of loneliness, but it does not mean leisure. "Plum blossoms don't drip from the eaves" highlights the cold weather, and "Plum blossoms don't mean leisure" highlights the strong and unyielding character of plum blossoms. The author relies on things to express his ambition, which implicitly shows the author's lofty and tenacious character and the quality of leading an honest and clean life.
In this poem, Zheng Banqiao wrote down the desolation brought to him by the cold after the heavy snow. It seems to be writing about scenery, but in fact, it is integrating scenery and things, and it gives a deep sigh to my bitter life experience.
Extended reading: the main achievement of calligraphy art
Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy, which is a mixture of official script and running script, calls itself "six and a half books" and is called "Banqiao Book". Most of his paintings are bluegrass and bamboo stones. Bluegrass and bamboo are Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy art, which is unique in China.
Judging from his 23-year-old Ode to Autumn Songs by Ouyang Xiu and his 30-year-old Poem of Xiao Zhuan, Banqiao learned books from Ou Yangxun in his early years. Its font is neat and beautiful, but slightly stiff: this is related to the neat and charming pavilion style prevailing in the book world at that time, and it is the standard font for selecting candidates in the imperial examination. In this regard, Zheng Banqiao once said: "The flies stop too evenly, fearing that the book will damage the spirit." After becoming a scholar at the age of 40, I seldom write again. Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy is most praised as "six methods and half a book", that is, "Banqiao style" with "eight-part essay" (a kind of official script) as its unique style.
"Six and a half minutes" is a ridiculous title given by Zheng Banqiao for his original calligraphy. There is a kind of "eight-point script" with more strokes in official script, that is, the so-called "six-thirty", which refers to official script in general, but is mixed with other regular scripts such as Kai, Xing, Zhuan and Cao. The Poem Axis of Cao Cao's Running Script (now in Yangzhou Museum) is a masterpiece of "six and a half" style. This poem about Cao Cao's "looking at the sea" has a large format, with an average of more than 10 square centimeter per room. Fonts are quite rich, including seal characters and kai characters. The shape is flat and long, and the house is mainly square, slightly downward. Simple and broad, just like Cao Shixiong's broad style. Zheng Banqiao once praised his calligraphy in a poem "To Pan Tonggang": "I paint clouds by Cao Cao, sweeping the sky. A line of two lines of book characters, Nanxun Beidou rows of stars. "
The composition of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy works is also very distinctive. He can insert the size, length, Fiona Fang, size and density, such as "paving the road with stones", which contains rules in vertical placement. It seems to follow the flow of the pen, but the holistic view produces a sense of rhythm of jumping and agility. For example, it was written in the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong, and he was seventy years old, which was his masterpiece in his later years. Su Dongpo likes to use the Qifeng pen of Xuancheng Zhuge, which is very satisfying to write. Later, when he changed another pen, his palm didn't correspond. Banqiao himself likes to use Taizhou Deng's sheep hair, and it is satisfactory to write it tactfully. So he compared Taizhou Deng's wool to Zhuge Qifeng in Xuancheng, and finally said, "How dare you imitate Dongpo?" Moreover, writing a book with a pen loves fat rather than thin, and it also means slope. "The whole work is characterized by big summary, thick and thin pen, oblique posture, stippling and lifting pressure, which makes it like the joy in the ear, the bird in the air and the fish in the water, expressing strength and spirit with arbitrary rhythm: how can people say that his words are" blue and bamboo, especially interesting "? From the composition, structure and strokes of this crystal, we can't see his "quaint and graceful" Zhu Lan Lou God.
