Vernacular translation: birds can't fly in the mountains, and people can't be seen on the road. On a lonely boat on the river, an old man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing alone on the cold river.
Jiang Xue is a five-character quatrain written by Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, in Yongzhou. Typical generalizations are used in the poem, and thousands of trails in Qianshan Mountain and the extinction of people and birds, which can best represent the cold in Shan Ye, are chosen to describe the scene of mountains closed by heavy snow and freezing in the cold.
Literary appreciation:
The poet used only twenty words to describe a quiet and cold picture: on the snowy river, a boat and an old fisherman were fishing alone on the cold river.
What the poet shows his readers is probably this: the world is so pure and silent, spotless and silent. The fisherman's life is noble, and the fisherman's character is detached. In fact, this is a fantasy realm created by the poet because he hated the declining society of the Tang Dynasty at that time. Compared with the characters in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, he is more ethereal and far away from the world.
