Genius poetry is produced by mountains and rivers.

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. This five-character quatrain, which is well known to women and children, is the work of Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This little poem depicts a fishing picture in the snow with a simple painting method. This poem was highly praised by Fan Zhongyan in the Northern Song Dynasty, saying that apart from this poem, there are few excellent works in the five-character quatrains in the Tang Dynasty. Thousands of years later, this poem was also selected into primary school Chinese textbooks and recited by children.

Liu Zongyuan was a famous writer, philosopher, thinker, essayist and poet in Tang Dynasty. Liu Zongyuan's prose achievements made him one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. Although his achievements in poetry are not as good as those in prose creation, Liu Zongyuan's poems are also unique in the Tang Dynasty, where talented people came forth in large numbers. Later generations often compare his poems with the works of Tao Yuanming, an idyllic poet in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty. Liu Zongyuan's poems are simple in narrative, implicit in emotion, vivid in images and profound in meaning, and often express his profound and euphemistic feelings with plain things. His poems are rich in content and wide in subject matter, which not only embodies personal feelings, but also reflects social reality and people's life, and has practical and historical significance.

Appreciation of Jiang Xue Among Liu Zongyuan's poems, we should be most familiar with Jiang Xue, who was catchy when he was a child. There is not a bird in the rolling mountains in the distance, and there are no traces of pedestrians on the road. Only one boat was floating in the fog on the river. It turned out to be an old man wearing hemp fiber and hat, fishing alone in Jiang Xue. Beautiful scenery does not need flowery rhetoric, and poets naturally understand this truth. He did not deliberately use descriptive techniques to describe what he saw in front of him, but used line drawing techniques. Although there is only a vision, the meaning of loneliness is beyond words.

This poem was written by the poet because of his active participation? Innovate forever? Failing, he was demoted to Yongzhou, where the environment was bad. In Yongzhou, the conditions are difficult, and Liu Zongyuan can only live in a ruined temple. Liu Zongyuan's mother died of illness and no medicine after half a year, which made Liu Zongyuan fall into sadness and pain. Jiang Xue was written around this time. Although the environment is hard and lonely, Liu Zongyuan is willing to stick to his original heart like a fisherman fishing alone in the snow in the hard environment, even if he is lonely, he will not give up.
