The Origin of Jiang Xue —— Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan
There are no birds flying over those mountains, and there are no traces of people in those paths.
A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.
On all the mountains, birds have disappeared, and on all the roads, there are no traces of people. On a lonely boat on the river, an old man in a bamboo hat was fishing alone on the cold river covered with heavy snow.
Extended data
1, Jiang Xue's creative background.
This poem was written during Liu Zongyuan's exile in Yongzhou (AD 805-8 15). During Yongzhen Yuan's reign (805), Liu Zongyuan took part in Yongzhen Innovation Movement initiated by Wang Group, and soon the reform failed. Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima and exiled for ten years. The oppression of the sinister environment did not crush him. He expresses the value and ideal interest of life through poetry.
2. Appreciation of Jiang Xue
The word "snow" covers the whole poem. "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing" are all snow, which makes "birds fly away" and "people disappear". Even the awning and fisherman's hat are covered with snow. But the author did not explicitly associate these scenes with "snow". On the contrary, in this painting, there is only Jiang and only Rulu.
Of course, the river will not store snow, and it will not be covered by snow. Even if it falls into the river, it will immediately become water. However, the author only used the word "cold river snow" to connect the two farthest images, giving people a vague, distant and narrow feeling and forming a long-distance lens.
This makes the main object described in the poem more concentrated, dexterous and prominent. Because even the river seems to be covered with snow, even the places where there is no snow are covered with snow, which completely describes the dense and thick snow and completely sets off the atmosphere of water and sky.
