Throughout the ages, when it comes to snow, scholars and poets have different views on snowflakes. The poet Li Bai, who is known as the layman of violets, described the snow like this: Yanshan snowflakes are as big as seats, and one piece blows down Xuanyuantai. ? (From Popular in the North) Li Bai's poems have always been famous for exaggeration. In the poet's description, the snowflakes in Yanshan are as big as seats!
The poet Du Fu also described snowflakes in this way: the clouds are low and dusk, and the snow dances back into the air. (From To Snow) This poem is not a compliment to snow. Near dusk, the clouds are low, it is still snowing, and snowflakes are flying in the air. This snow scene is really bleak, because the poet wrote it when he was hungry and cold, and his life was very bitter.
Let's look at the description of the snow scene in Bai Xuege Farewell to Tian Shuji and Wu Guijia: If the spring breeze comes at night, 10,000 pears will blow away! In sharp contrast with Du Fu's snow scene. In this poem, Cher seems to be less depressed, but gives people a warm feeling of spring breeze!
Han Yu, a great poet, also described the snow scene in Chun Xue: it's too late for snow to spring, and it's flying through the courtyard trees. This poem's description of the snow scene is different from the past. Previous poems only described the snow scene, but Han Yu directly gave life to snowflakes! Originally, this was just an ordinary snow scene. As soon as the poet described it, it immediately became a very lively scene! Snowflakes are written directly by poets!
The ancients' description of the snow scene was bleak and vivid, and some poets compared snow to flowers. Style is mostly determined by the living conditions of poets. Although each poet describes the snow scene in a different style, it is undeniable that the snow scene is beautiful, otherwise it will not appear frequently in the poet's poems!
