The original author was Zheng Banqiao, a scholar from the Qing Dynasty. The title of the poem is "Song of Snow".
The content of the whole poem is: one piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five, six, seven, eight or ninety pieces. Thousands of pieces, countless pieces, flying into the plum blossoms are always gone.
Vernacular interpretation:
It is snowing heavily in the sky, and snowflakes are falling in pieces, two, three, and four, and five, six, seven, and eight. The snow is falling harder and harder, and the snowflakes are falling like thousands of pieces. Thousands of snowflakes fell among the plum blossoms, but suddenly disappeared.
This is a seven-character quatrain composed by Zheng Banqiao. Using the technique of first closing and then releasing, the beautiful scenery of snowflakes and white reed flowers is very moving.
