Interpretation of the last two poems: an old man is fishing alone on the cold river in a boat on the river.
Original poem:
Jiang Xue in Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan
There are no birds flying over those mountains, and there are no traces of people in those paths.
A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.
Introduction:
Zongyuan (773-8 19), with thick words, was born in Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi) in the Tang Dynasty, an outstanding poet, philosopher, Confucian scholar and even an outstanding politician, and one of the eight masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
In Yongzhenyuan, Liu Zongyuan participated in the political reform movement headed by Wang. Because of the joint counterattack of conservative forces and eunuchs, the innovation failed. Therefore, Liu Zongyuan was relegated to Yongzhou, which is known as the "Southern Wilderness". So he wrote this famous poem with resentment.
Extended data:
The poet used the words "Qianshan" and "Wanjing" to set off the pictures of "boating alone" and "fishing alone" in the following two sentences. Without the words "thousand" and "ten thousand", the words "loneliness" and "independence" at the back will appear bland and uninspiring.
Secondly, birds flying on the mountain and people walking on the road are very common things and the most general image. But the poet put them under the "Qianshan" and "Wanjing" and added the word "absolutely" and "extinct", which suddenly turned the most common and summarized dynamic into extreme silence and absolute silence, forming an unusual scene.
So the following two sentences used to be static descriptions. Because it is placed in this absolutely quiet background, it is exquisite, lively and lively. It can also be said that the first two sentences were originally a foil. According to the general understanding, you only need to outline it, and you don't need to make great efforts to carve it.
However, poets just don't handle it this way. It's like making a movie. How many close-ups are used to explain and reflect every corner of the background? The more specific and detailed you write, the more exaggerated you are.
The last two sentences, originally the object of the poet's intentional description, turned into a long-distance lens, which was reduced many times, giving readers an ethereal feeling, visible and intangible.
Only by writing in this way can we express the lofty and detached thoughts and feelings that the author is eager to show to readers. As for the formation of this sense of remoteness, it is mainly the effect that the author adds a word "snow" at the end of the whole poem, which is connected with the word "Jiang".
