A poem about snow-Jiang Xue

Original text:

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.

Author: (Tang) Liu Zongyuan

There are no bird tracks in Wanling, Qian Shan, and no pedestrian tracks in thousands of roads. On a lonely boat, a fisherman wearing hemp fiber and hat was fishing alone in the snow.

Appreciation: In this poem, everything is snowy, the mountains are snowy, and the roads are snowy. Moreover, "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing" are all covered with snow, which makes "birds fly" and "people disappear". Even the awning and fisherman's hat are covered with snow. But the author did not explicitly associate these scenes with "snow". On the contrary, in this painting, there is only Jiang and only Rulu. Of course, the river will not store snow, and it will not be covered by snow. Even if it falls into the river, it will immediately become water.

However, the author only used the word "cold river snow" to connect the two farthest images, giving people a vague, distant and narrow feeling and forming a long-distance lens. This makes the main object described in the poem more concentrated, dexterous and prominent. Because even the river seems to be covered with snow, even the places where there is no snow are covered with snow, which completely describes the situation of heavy snow, dense snow, thick snow and thick snow.
