Night Snow is a five-character quatrain written by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is a poem about snow. The poet describes "night snow" through touch, vision, feeling and hearing, and reveals the lonely mood of living in Jiangzhou. Poets express their unique feelings with true feelings, giving people novelty, freshness, elegance and unique charm.
This poem was written in the winter of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe 11th year (8 16). The poet was 45 years old. Because he wrote about the assassination of the Prime Minister, he was demoted to Jiangzhou and served as Jiangzhou Sima. In the cold and silent night, the poet saw the snow outside the window and felt it, so he wrote this poem.
The first two sentences of the poem, "I was shocked by the cold, but the window was bright and clean", began with people's feelings. By "cold", I not only pointed out that there was snow, but also implied that it was very heavy, because life experience proved that when it just snowed, the cold in the air was completely absorbed by water vapor and condensed into snowflakes, and the temperature would not drop immediately, until the snow was heavy, it would aggravate the cold in the air. It's already very cold here, so it snowed for a long time.
Not only Cold is about snow, but In a daze is also about snow. The reason why people didn't notice it at first and suddenly woke up when the cold came is because the snow fell silently, which is another feature of writing snow besides "cold". This sentence is very tight, feeling that "the pillow is cold" just means that someone has been lying at night, thus pointing out that it is "night snow." See the window again, and further write the night snow from the visual point of view.
Seeing the window bright at night shows that it is snowing heavily and deeply, and it is the strong reflection of snow that brings light to the dark night. The above are all profiles, every sentence is written by people, but it is pointed out everywhere that the night snow.
