1. "Snow on the River"
Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan
Thousands of birds have disappeared, and thousands of people have disappeared.
A man in a lone boat with a coir raincoat fishing fishing alone in the snow in the cold river.
Translation: On all the mountains, the birds have disappeared, and on all the roads there is no trace of people. On a lone boat on the river, an old man wearing a hat was fishing alone on the cold river covered with heavy snow.
2. "Spring Snow"
Tang Dynasty: Han Yu
There is no youth in the new year, and the grass buds are surprised to see in early February.
The white snow is too late for spring, so it flies through the trees in the garden.
Translation: Even in the New Year, there are still no fragrant flowers. It was only in early February that I was pleasantly surprised to find new shoots of grass sprouting. Bai Xue also thought that spring came too late, so she deliberately turned into flowers and flew among the trees in the courtyard.
3. "Snowy Night"
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
I was surprised that the quilt was cold, and the window was bright again.
I know the snow is heavy late at night, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo.
Translation: I was surprised when I lay on my pillow at night and saw the light from the white snow shining through the window. Late at night, I knew it was snowing heavily because from time to time I could hear the sound of the snow crushing bamboo branches.
4. "Heavy Snow"
Song Dynasty: Lu You
The north wind blows snow at the beginning of the fourth watch, Jiarui Tianjiao and the new year.
Half of the lamp has been used to slaughter Su, and peach symbols are written on the grass in front of the lamp.
Translation: When the fourth watch arrives at the beginning of the day, the north wind brings a heavy snow; this auspicious snow given to us by God arrives just on New Year's Eve, which indicates a good harvest in the coming year. Before the half-filled glass of Tusu wine could be raised to celebrate the New Year, I used the light to write the peach symbols welcoming the Spring Festival with grass.
5. "Snow Fishing Pavilion"
Song Dynasty: Jiang Kui
Langgan is windy and snowy, and no one is holding the fishing rod melancholy.
Sometimes an official ship passes by the bridge, and white gulls fly away and land on the beach.
Translation: On a cold night with wind and snow, I leaned against the railing alone and saw no one around me. There was not even a single person fishing, which made people feel very melancholy. Occasionally, an official ship passes by the bridge, but it is also silent. Even the egrets that usually sing and fly together fly quietly at this time and land peacefully.
