This poem is a poem praising snow as a gift. In the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754), Cen Shen came out of the fortress again and served as the judge of Feng Changqing, the governor of Anbeiting. Wu may be his predecessor. I wrote this poem to send him back to Beijing. "Brothers Cen Shen are all curious" (Du Fu's "Maipei Xing"). Don't ignore the word "odd" everywhere when reading this poem.
Cen Shen (about 715-770), Han nationality, from Xinye, Nanyang (now Xinye County, Nanyang City, Henan Province), was a famous frontier poet in the Tang Dynasty. Cen Shen's father passed away when he was about 10 years old, and his family became increasingly difficult. He learned from his elder brother and was born in literature at the age of nine. At the age of fifteen, he lived in Songying, where he studied hard and read classics and history to lay the foundation for his studies.
This poem describes the magnificent scenery of August snow in the Western Regions. It expresses the feeling of seeing off guests outside the Great Wall and seeing off guests in the snow. It expresses the sorrow of separation and homesickness, but it is full of whimsy and does not make people feel sad. The romantic ideals and magnificent feelings expressed in the poem make people feel that the wind and snow outside the Great Wall have become an object that can be played with and appreciated.
The whole poem has rich and broad connotations, magnificent and romantic colors, majestic momentum, distinct and unique artistic conception, and strong artistic appeal. It can be called the masterpiece of frontier fortress poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Among them, poems such as "Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloom on thousands of trees" have become famous lines that have been passed down through the ages.
This poem uses the beautiful and changeable snow scene, the vertical and horizontal vigorous writing force, the free opening and closing structure, and the ups and downs of rhythm to accurately, clearly and vividly create the beauty of the strange and the strange of the beautiful. The beautiful artistic conception is not only written with appropriate voice and color, relaxed and relaxed, but also hard and soft, quick and slow, making it a rare masterpiece of a frontier fortress.
The whole poem constantly changes the scene of white snow, turning the scene into emotion, generous, tragic, and vigorous. It expresses the poet's attachment to his friend and the melancholy caused by his friend's return to Beijing.
