The most beautiful poems about the winter solstice are as follows:
1. The weather, people, events, and the sun are urging each other, and at the winter solstice, the sun brings forth spring again. ——Du Fu's "Xiao Zhi"
Appreciation: The first couplet of this poem explains the festival, which is written during the Xiaohan solar term, usually on January 5 or 6 of the Gregorian calendar. From this day on, the temperature dropped suddenly, the rivers froze, and people entered the midwinter season. The crisp sound of firecrackers makes the poet feel that the "old age" is about to pass and spring is coming. He hoped that the arrival of spring would bring warmth to his relatives in other places.
2. During the winter solstice in Handan Posthouse, shadows in front of lanterns hugging the knees accompany me. -Bai Juyi's "Homesickness on the Winter Solstice Night in Handan"
Appreciation: It describes the homesickness of a guest in a foreign country on the night of the winter solstice. The language of the whole poem is plain and unpretentious, like an old man who has lost his gums talking softly, without any pretense, with sincere feelings and profound artistic conception.
3. I am a guest every year, and sometimes I am poor and worried about killing people. - Du Fu's "Winter Solstice"
Appreciation: The poem vividly describes the scene of the poet spending the winter solstice alone in a foreign land through the exaggeration and characterization of the costumes, atmosphere and characterization. Through details, it depicts the loneliness and melancholy of being alone in a foreign land, and expresses the profound feelings of a wanderer about being alone in a foreign land.
4. There is not even an inch of heartbreak at this time. How can you look at Sanqin if you are lost on the road? - Du Fu's "Poetry Sent by Qian Huzhou over Wine on the Winter Solstice"
Appreciation: From a poetic point of view, this was written when the author went to Huzhou while living in Xiangyang. Qianhuzhou is Qian Liu, the king of Wuyue Kingdom. He wrote to Du Fu, and since it coincided with the winter solstice, he included some words of greeting.
This letter came at a very bad time: on the one hand, Du Fu was poor and suffering from foot disease and malaria; on the other hand, wars were frequent and the current situation was uncertain. Du Fu has already experienced enough of this kind of cold world and warm and cold human relationships.
5. As we age, our minds often fade away, and when we get sick, our hair will turn green. -Bai Juyi's "Winter Solstice Night"
Appreciation: Bai Juyi was the longest-lived person among the poets of the Tang Dynasty. In his later years, he often expressed indifference and long-term ambition. This poem is about the author holding a banquet to enjoy the snow on the night of the winter solstice and comprehend the principles of life. The whole poem expresses the author's sadness and emotion at the thought that he and his relatives are separated from each other and cannot meet each other.
