Poems describing snow;
1. I was surprised to find the quilt in my pillow was cold, but I saw the light from the window again. Late at night, I know the snow is heavy, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo. ("Snow at Night" by Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi)
Translation: Lying in bed at night, my pillow was as cold as ice. I couldn't help but be surprised, and I saw the window was illuminated by the light from the white snow outside. . Late at night, I knew it was snowing heavily because I could hear the sound of the snow crushing bamboo branches from time to time.
2. The wind is blowing, the clouds are cold, the snow is clear at dusk, and the smoke from the river washes away the lightness of the wicker. The few pieces in front of the eaves were left unswept, and the book window was illuminated all night. ("Ji Xue" by Tang Dynasty poet Rong Yu)
Translation: The strong wind swept away the cold clouds. Although it snowed last night, the weather is sunny today. The smoke from the riverside washed away, and the branches of the willow trees appeared lighter. As far as the eye can see, under the eaves, there are a few open spaces where no one has cleared the snow. I am reading at night and inadvertently, another night has passed.
3. Zhongnan has beautiful Yin ridges and snowy clouds. The forest shows its bright color, and the city becomes colder at dusk. ("Looking at the Remaining Snow at the End of the South" by an ancestor of the Tang Dynasty poet)
Translation: Looking at Zhongnan from a distance, the North Mountain is beautiful and covered with white snow. Only the Yin Ridge of Zhongnan still has snow, as if it is floating among the clouds. It was clearing up after the snow, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone between the treetops, adding a bit of coldness to the city of Chang'an at night.
