Extended data
This is an eternal story, which shows Xie Daowen's outstanding poetic talent, meticulous observation of things and flexible imagination.
According to the Book of Jin Xie's Family Biography and Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Xie An tasted the default in the snowy day and told his children the meaning of paper. Suddenly, the heavy snow suddenly fell, An Xinran sang a rhyme, and his brother and daughter also sang a song (poem as above). An laughed.
Xie An's joy lies in the fact that the skirt hairpin does not let people, and the niece's poem is above the nephew. According to Xie Lang's rare literary title, Shi Shuo Xin Yu quoted Xu Jinyang Qiu as saying that he was "gentle", while literature quoted Zhongxing Shu as saying that he was "knowledgeable".
So my uncle rhymes and my nephew is a chorus, which shows that he has a quick mind. In all fairness, "sprinkling salt in the air" can also be regarded as a analogy. Snow floated down with its white crystal, and Xie Lang made an analogy nearby and painted it in the air without salt. Although not smart, but also poor beyond description.
However, the clever sister is not superstitious about her brother's talent. She thinks it's good to imitate snow with salt, but she doesn't use six petals to describe the basic characteristics of snowflakes, which dance with the wind, surging and endless. Therefore, in view of her brother's original sentence, she made a bold amendment: "If catkins are not due to the wind."
