Thousands of 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.
A lone fisherman fishing alone in the snow on the cold river" depicts the image of a fisherman fishing alone in the cold river. In a place with heavy snow and almost no life, there is a lonely boat with a man on board. The fisherman, wearing a raincoat, fishing alone on the snowy river. This image of the fisherman is obviously a portrayal of the poet himself. It expresses the poet's tenacity, fearlessness, and arrogance despite his loneliness after the failure of political reform. Spiritual outlook.
This poem was written around the time when he was exiled to Yongzhou. It is a five-character quatrain in oblique rhyme. At first glance, it looks like a clear landscape painting: ice and snow, cold river, nothing. There are pedestrians and birds, and only an old man is fishing alone in a boat. But if you look carefully, this clean, quiet and cold picture is a symbol of an independent, solemn and aloof state of life. First of all, it creates a state of life. Judging from the literal meaning of the poem, the sentence "Lonely Coat Hat" seems to be the focus of the author's description, occupying the main position of the picture. The fisherman is sitting alone in the boat fishing. The words "solitary" and "independent" have shown that he is far away from the world, and even revealed his aloof and unconventional personality. The theme that the author wants to express has been revealed here, but the author is still not interested in it. In addition, he carefully created a vast and silent artistic background for the fisherman: there are towering peaks and thousands of paths in the distance, but there are no birds flying in the mountains and no trace of people on the paths. Why is the natural world full of vitality in the past? How about such deathly silence? A heavy snowfall covers thousands of mountains and blocks thousands of paths. The coldness brought by the ice and snow creates a white and deserted world, which strongly sets off the fisherman. A lonely figure. How cold and desolate his mood must be at this moment! Here, the author uses the technique of rendering to describe the climate and scenery when the fisherman is fishing, with light strokes and just a few words. It creates a clean and cool lyrical atmosphere.
