"I left yesterday, willow, a.. Now think about it, it's raining and snowing. These four poems are praised by later generations as the best sentences in The Book of Songs. This is the time to write the scene, which is more lyrical. These poems are a mixture of sad and happy stories, and they seem to be fables of personal life.
"I left yesterday, willow, a.. Today, I think, "Rain and snow are raining" comes from the pre-Qin writer "Picking Wei" anonymously.
Excerpts from the original text:
Recalling the original exploration, the wind in Yang Liuyi was blowing in the wind; Now back on the road, snowflakes are flying everywhere. The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry. The road is muddy, hungry and thirsty. Full of sadness, full of sadness, who experienced my sadness!
Translation:
Looking back at the original expedition, Yang Liu Yiyi blew with the wind. Now on the way back, the snow is flying all over the sky. The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and I am really tired because I am hungry and thirsty. Full of sadness, full of sadness, who knows my sadness!

Writing background:
Picking Wei is an article in the Book of Songs, but what is it? Annotators in past dynasties have different opinions on the date of its completion. However, according to its contents and other historical records, it is more likely that the works of the Zhou Xuanwang era will be revised. Judging from the content of Cai Wei, it is an era in which soldiers defend their country and struggle hard. This poem praises the hard life and homesickness of the soldiers who joined the army.
The theme of this poem is serious. Because of its ferocity, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were well prepared. As a garrison sergeant, the author, through commanding the generals, sent garrison soldiers to guard China under the orders of the emperor, describing the seriousness of the army and the hardships of life. The author's patriotic feelings are expressed through his hatred for you.
Sad mood does not reduce the value of this patriotic poem, on the contrary, it shows people's naive, simple and reasonable ideological content and emotion, and it is this pure authenticity that gives this poem strong vitality and appeal.
Reading this poem together with other chapters in the Book of Songs, such as Drum Beating, Dongshan, and No Clothes, we can read a more complete story and have a more real feeling of life. If we can imagine, this garrison soldier is the one who sings "Live and die with wealth, grow old with your son".
The soldier who holds your hand and grows old with your son is also the one who sings the high-spirited battle song "No clothes, no robes and your son". Wang Yuxing, the soldier who repaired my spear and walked with my son, was also the soldier who sang "Sorry for my hometown" in the drizzle.
