Creative background:
The poem Jiang Xue was written by Liu Zongyuan when he was in exile in Yongzhou. During Yongzhen Yuan's reign, Liu Zongyuan participated in Yongzhen Innovation Movement initiated by Wang Group, and carried out political measures to restrain internal officials, control foreign countries and safeguard national unity.
However, due to the joint opposition of reactionary forces, the reform soon failed. Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima and exiled for ten years. In fact, he lived a life of "prisoner" under control and house arrest.
The oppression of the sinister environment did not crush him. Being at a political disadvantage, he expressed the value and ideal interest of life through his poems. This poem is one of the masterpieces.
