Translation

The first two sentences, "I was surprised that the quilt was cold, and I saw the light from the window again", starting from people's feelings, using "cold" not only points out the presence of snow, but also implies that the snow is heavy, because of life experience Proof: When snow first falls, all the cold air in the air is absorbed by water vapor and condenses into snowflakes. The temperature will not drop immediately. The severe cold in the air will only increase when the snow becomes heavy. It feels cold here, and it can be seen that it has been snowing for a long time. Not only "cold" is writing about snow, but "surprise" is also writing about snow. The reason why people are unaware of it at first and then suddenly wake up when the cold hits is because the snow falls silently to the ground. This is why writing snow in addition to "cold" Another feature. This sentence is very closely related to the title. Feeling "the quilt pillow is cold" means that the person who comes at night has already hugged the quilt and is lying down, thus pointing out that it is "night snow". "Seeing the light in the window again" further writes about Ye Xue from a visual perspective. Seeing bright windows late at night just means that the snow is falling heavily and deeply. It is the strong reflection of the snow that brings light to the dark night. The above are all described in profile, describing the person in every sentence, but Ye Xue is highlighted everywhere.
The last two sentences, "I know the snow is heavy late at night, and I hear the sound of folding bamboo from time to time" are still described from the side, but they are written from the auditory perspective from a different perspective. The sound of the heavy snow breaking bamboo branches showed that the snow was getting worse. The poet deliberately chose the detail of "folding bamboo" to highlight the word "heavy", which is unique and emotional. The "sound of breaking bamboo" "heard" "late at night" shows the silence of the winter night, and more importantly, it describes the poet's sleeplessness all night long; this is not just for the "cold quilt pillow", but also reveals the poet's exile I felt lonely when I was in Jiangzhou. Because the poet expresses his unique feelings with true feelings, this song "Snow at Night" is unique, with implicit poetic meaning and long lasting charm. Interpretation of the creative background sentence
"I was surprised that the quilt was cold, but I saw the light from the window again."
The weather was cold, and people woke up from the cold in their sleep. They were surprised to find the quilt covering them. It's already a little cold. When I was confused, I looked up and saw that the window was brightly reflected. The article starts with touch (cold) and then moves to vision (bright). The word "cold" appears in the dark spot and the snow has fallen for a long time. Generally speaking, when the snow first falls, all the cold air in the air is absorbed by the water vapor and condenses into snowflakes, so the temperature does not drop suddenly. The cold will only increase when the snow becomes heavy. The word "surprise" also refers to snow. The reason why people are unaware at first and then suddenly wake up when the cold hits is because the snow falls silently. This is another characteristic of snow in addition to "cold", just as Tao Yuanming's famous poem about snow says, "There is no sound in my ears, and my eyes are clear" (written in the middle of the twelfth month of the year of Guimao and Congdi) Respect the distance").
These two sentences describe what people feel and see. Although they are all written in profile, they are closely related to the topic. Feeling "the quilt pillow is cold" means that someone has come to sleep in the quilt at night, which indicates that it is "night snow". "Seeing the light in the window again" further writes about Ye Xue from a visual perspective. Seeing bright windows late at night just means that the snow is falling heavily and deeply. It is the strong reflection of the snow that brings light to the dark night.

Only then did I know that there was a heavy snowfall at night, the snow was so heavy, and from time to time I heard the sound of bamboo breaking in the courtyard The sound of being crushed by snow. These two sentences change the perspective and are written from the auditory (sounding) perspective. It uses an inversion method, the upper sentence is the effect, and the lower sentence is the cause. It is cleverly constructed and has twists and turns. The poet chose the detail of "folding bamboo" to highlight the word "heavy". From the sound of the accumulated snow breaking the bamboo branches, we can tell that the snow is heavy and the intensity of the snow is increasing. The poet's feeling is indeed very detailed. The "sound of breaking bamboo" and "the sound of breaking bamboo" are "heard at all times" in the "late night", showing the tranquility of the snowy night.
