1. "Jiang Xue" Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan
Original text:
Thousands of mountains and 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: There are no traces of birds in thousands of mountains and ridges; there are no traces of pedestrians on thousands of roads. On a lonely boat, a fisherman wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat was fishing alone in the wind and snow.
2. "Quequatrains" Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Original text:
Two orioles sing in the green willows, and a row of egrets ascends to the blue sky.
The window contains Qianqiu snow of Xiling, and the door is docked with a ship thousands of miles away from Dongwu.
Translation: Two orioles sang gracefully among the green willow trees, and a neat group of egrets rushed straight into the blue sky. Sitting in front of the window, I can see the snow that never melts all year round on the west ridge, and the ships from Soochow, thousands of miles away, are moored in front of the door.
3. "The Master Staying at Furong Mountain in the Snow" Tang Dynasty: Liu Changqing
Original text:
At dusk, the mountains are far away, the weather is cold and the white house is poor.
Chaimen hears dogs barking, and people return home on a snowy night.
Translation: When dusk falls and the mountains look vast, I feel that the journey is far away, and the thatched house looks even poorer in the cold weather. Suddenly there was the sound of a dog barking outside Chaimen. The family members who had returned home on a snowy night were back.
4. "Snowy Plum Part 1" Song Dynasty: Lu Meipo
Original text:
The plum blossoms and snow refused to fall in spring, so Sao Renge paid for the review.
The plum blossoms are less white than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms.
Translation: Both plum blossoms and snowflakes think that they have all the beauty of spring, and neither one is willing to admit defeat. It is difficult to break a poet and write a critical article. To be fair, the plum blossoms make the snowflakes crystal white, but the snowflakes lose the fragrance of the plum blossoms.
5. "Watching and Hunting"
Author: Wang Wei? (Tang Dynasty)
The wind is strong and the horns are ringing, and the general is hunting in Weicheng. The grass is dry, the hawk's eye is weak, and the snow is gone, and the horse's hooves are light.
Suddenly passed by Xinfeng City and returned to Xiliu Camp. Looking back at the shooting place, the clouds are flat at dusk for thousands of miles.
Translation: The arrow was shot from the horn bow, and the strings whistled together with the strong wind! The hunting horses of the general and soldiers were galloping in the suburbs of Weicheng. The withered weeds cannot hide the sharp eagle's eyes; the snow melts, and the galloping horses' hooves are more like the wind chasing the leaves. In the blink of an eye, the hunting cavalry passed through Xinfeng City, and when they stopped their horses, they had already returned to Xiliu Camp. When I returned home, I looked back and saw the hunting place; it was vast for thousands of miles, shrouded in dusk clouds, and the wilderness was quiet.
