①The first sentence of the article, "Xie Taifu Hanxue gathered in the evening to discuss the meaning of thesis with his children" is just fifteen words, covering the time, place, characters and main events of the event. It is precisely because of the "cold snow day" and "sudden snowfall" that the incident of "Song of Snow" can be triggered.
The "four beauties" valued by the ancients are good times, beautiful scenery, pleasing to the eye, and happy things. The good time and beautiful scenery here cannot be strictly understood as spring, bright scenery, and green grass. In the cold weather with flying snowflakes, it is inconvenient to go out, isn't it a joy to gather and sing in the snow? The harmonious, cheerful and relaxed atmosphere can be seen from the words "happy", "laughing" and "happy" in the article.
② There are different interpretations of "the public laughs happily": some people think that Taifu Xie is satisfied with both answers; some think that "laughing" is a pre-metaphor and "乐" is a post-metaphor; some think that Taifu Xie is "Catkins" is a metaphor for "laughing".
Although the article does not explicitly convey Taifu Xie’s evaluation, it can be seen from the addition of Xie Daoyun’s identity at the end of the article that the author clearly hints to readers that Taifu Xie appreciates Xie Daoyun’s talent more. It's really thought-provoking.
③ Use "salt in the air" and "catkins blown by the wind" to compare "heavy snow", each with its own merits. Some people think that "sprinkling salt in the sky" is a good metaphor. The color and falling state of snow are closer to that of salt, while catkins are gray-white and tend to rise in the wind, and even fly higher and farther, which is different from the way snow dances. When writing things, we must first obtain physical resemblance and then reach spiritual resemblance. Appropriateness is the foundation. Some people think that "catkins blowing in the wind" is a good metaphor. It gives people the feeling that spring is coming and has profound implications. What the metaphor "spreading salt" lacks is precisely meaning. Good poetry must have imagery, and imagery is the unity of object image and connotation. The metaphor of "catkins" is good because of its imagery.
