3. Translation
On a cold snowy day, Teacher Xie An called the family together to explain the meaning of the article with the children. After a while, it snowed heavily and quickly. Xie An said happily, "What is this heavy snow like?" Xie Lang, the eldest son of the second brother, said, "It's almost like sprinkling salt in the air." Xie Daowen, his eldest brother's daughter, said, "It's better to do modeling than to blow catkins all over the sky." Xie An smiled happily after hearing this. Xie Daowen is the daughter of Xie Wuyi, the eldest brother of a teacher and the wife of General Zuo.
Step 4 enjoy
As can be seen from the article Ode to Snow, Xie is very appreciative of his talent. First, after Hu Er finished, Gong didn't say anything. The two brothers "laughed" when they finished. Teacher Xie smiled and was very happy. This is an appreciation of the talents of brothers and sisters. Secondly, although the article does not specify the evaluation of Dr. Focus Metabolism, it can be seen from the identity added at the end of the article that the author clearly implies the talent that readers appreciate more. Meaning lies between language and thought. If Dr. Xie has no tendency to appreciate, the author need not reinvent the wheel. "Hu Er" equals "brother and sister", which is enough. But the author only added the identity of brother and sister at the end. Isn't this an obvious emotional tilt? Why didn't he add a narrative to Hu Er's identity? Therefore, in order to highlight Xie Daowen's identity, she is both Xie An's niece and Wang Xizhi's daughter-in-law and a talented woman. Xie Taifu appreciates Xie Daowen's talent even more.

"Yong Xue" comes from Shi Shuo Xin Yu.
Shi Shuo Xin Yu is a note novel in China's Southern Dynasties, which mainly describes anecdotes of people in Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was compiled by a group of people organized by Liu Yiqing, the imperial clan of Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. It is divided into 36 branches, such as morality, language, politics and literature. The book records more than 1000 short stories, which is a very interesting book.
In ancient Chinese, "salt sprinkled in the air" and "catkins due to the wind" were used to compare "heavy snow". So which metaphor do students think is better?
1. I think the metaphor of "sprinkling salt in the air" is good. The color and falling state of snow are close to salt, while catkins are gray, often rising in the wind and even flying higher and farther, which is different from the dancing way of snow. And speaking of "sudden snow", when it snows violently and intensively, I can only see the snowflakes falling straight, but I can't see the appearance of snowflakes flying lightly. The metaphor of "sprinkling salt in the air" may describe the scene more truly. To write something, you must first look like it, and then look like it. Shape is the foundation.
People think catkin is a good metaphor, because there is wind. It writes the light posture of snowflakes flying, giving people the feeling that spring is coming, which has profound implications. This is exactly what the metaphor of "sprinkling salt" lacks. "Catkin" is light, "salt" is heavy particles, lacking aesthetic feeling. Good poetry should have images, which are the unity of matter and meaning, and catkin metaphor is good at having images.
But the article obviously appreciates the answer that catkins are caused by the wind.
Although Xie An didn't evaluate the pros and cons of these two answers, he just "smiled" and it was very intriguing. But in the end, Xie Daowen's identity is added, which is a powerful hint, and the author also appreciates Xie Daowen's talent.
Comparing salt with snow, this metaphor is not bad, but not so amazing. If catkins are not due to the wind, it is obviously more beautiful. These two answers, some people say, are the difference between a composition score of 60 and a perfect score.
The flying snow and catkins caused by the wind give people a feeling of lightness, elegance and elegance. Vividly, the season when catkins are flying is the time when spring blooms. It is more poetic to write down the cold scenery in winter with spring blossoms. This is exactly what Xie Daowen said, which is higher than his brother.
Thank you for appreciating Xie Daowen's talent so much, so do you know this talented woman?
Xie Daowen, also known as Taoyuan, was a poetess in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and a native of Chenjun (now Taikang, Henan). She is the eldest daughter of Anxi General Xie Wuyi and the niece of Prime Minister Xie An.
Xie Daowen has received a good education since she was a child, and she is smart. She was praised by Xie An for singing "If catkins are not for the wind" in snowy days, and later generations called women's literary talents "catkins-chanting talents". Therefore, she and Ban Zhao became the representatives of ancient talented women in China. Saint Amethyst mentioned that "Cai Wenji can distinguish the piano; Xie Daowen can sing. "
Xie Daowen was loved by his world-famous uncle Xie An since he was a child. In an instant, she reached marriageable age. Xie An is very concerned about her marriage, which is a thousand choices. In order to match, Xie An looked for a niece and husband among Wang Xizhi's sons. The fifth son is my initial fantasy, that is, the prince in Visiting Dai on a Snowy Night. But I heard that this man is a prodigal son. He betrothed Xie Daowen to the gentle and honest Wang Ningzhi.
Wang Ningzhi, the second son of Wang Xizhi, was a good calligrapher and became the secretariat of Jiangzhou. He is also a bright young talent. But their married life is not happy. Xie Daowen once complained that her husband was timid. Compared with Gu Jie's brothers, he was simply a useless mediocrity. Wang Ningzhi is addicted to alchemy all day, dreaming of immortality, while Xie Daowen is well versed in it. He not only writes good poems, but also has high thinking ability. On one occasion, Wang Ningzhi's younger brother, Wang Xianzhi, took the lead in talking with guests. As a woman, Xie Daowen is not convenient to show up, so he hides behind the screen and refutes the views of the guests one by one, thus defeating all the men.
The good times didn't last long. At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun En opposed Jin. Ironically, Wang Ningzhi, then the official of Huiji, did not actively prepare for the war, but closed the door to worship God and Buddha. Xie Daowen protested to her husband many times, but she had to recruit domestic personnel for military training in her own name. Soon the city will be broken and Wang Ningzhi and his children will be killed. Before Xie Daowen could grieve, he stepped forward and killed the thieves and harem wives with weapons, but he was captured because he was outnumbered. At this time, she is still holding her three-year-old grandson. Sun En saw that she was so fearless and admired, so she and her grandson were released. Since then, Xie Daowen has lived a quiet life as a hermit.
She wrote: "Time waits for no one, and the Universiade is swaying." In the second half of his life, Xie Daowen established a school to teach and educate people, and devoted himself to poetry, compiling it into collections and passing it on to future generations. People praised, "There is an atmosphere under the forest, and I am a celebrity among women."
