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; this is not just for the "cold pillow" , but also reveals the loneliness the poet felt when he was exiled to 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.
This poem is novel and unique, mainly because of its good intention. There are not many poems about snow at night, which is related to the characteristics of snow itself. Snow is silent and odorless, and can only be distinguished by color, shape, and posture. In the dark night, human vision is completely useless, and the image of snow is naturally impossible to capture.
It is from this special situation that the poet uses side effects to describe the story from the four levels of touch (cold), vision (brightness), feeling (knowledge), and hearing (smell). Twists and turns. Thus, a snowy night is vividly and vividly written. There is neither color depiction nor gesture description in the poem, which makes it unremarkable at first glance. But if you taste it carefully, you will find that it is dignified, simple, fresh and elegant.
This poem is simple and natural, with a simple poetic environment, which fully reflects the poet's easy-to-understand and clear language characteristics.
