Jiang Xue, a five-character quatrain written by Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, in Yongzhou. The original text is:
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.
Translation:
Birds fly out of sight in the mountains, and no one can be seen on all the roads.
On a lonely boat on the river, an old man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing alone on the cold river.

Creative background:
Jiang Xue was written during Liu Zongyuan's exile in Yongzhou (805 -8 15).
During Yongzhenyuan's reign (805), Liu Zongyuan participated in the Yongzhenguan reform movement initiated by Wang Group, and carried out political measures to suppress internal officials, control other provinces and safeguard national unity. However, due to the joint opposition of reactionary forces, the reform soon failed. Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima and exiled for ten years. In fact, he lived a life of "prisoner" under control and house arrest.
Being at a political disadvantage, he expressed the value and ideal interest of life through his poems. This poem is one of the masterpieces.
