Jiang Xue was written during Liu Zongyuan's exile in Yongzhou (805-8 15). During Yongzhenyuan's reign (805), Liu Zongyuan participated in the Yongzhenguan reform movement initiated by Wang Group, and carried out political measures to suppress internal officials, control other provinces 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.
Full text: Hundreds of mountains have no birds, and thousands of paths have no footprints. ? A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.
Birds can't fly in the mountains, and people can't be seen on the road. On a lonely boat on the river, an old man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing alone on the cold river.
Extended data:
In this poem, everything is snowy, the mountains are snowy, the roads are snowy, and "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing" are snowy, making "birds fly away" and "people disappear". Even the awning and fisherman's hat are covered with snow. But the poet 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.
The poet only used the word "cold river snow" to connect the two images with the farthest relationship, 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.
