snowflake
Joan Ying (1) and Yu Rui (2) fell into the forebay.
When asked where these flowers came from, Dong Jun (3) didn't know.
People compare snow to flowers to describe the beauty of snow and compare flowers to snow to describe the prosperity of flowers. This poem compares snow to flowers to describe the beauty of snow. In the poem, firstly, the images of "Qiong Ying" and "Yu Rui" are used to compare the whiteness and crystal of snowflakes, giving people a pleasing aesthetic feeling. Then "pieces fall into the front pool" means that these snows fall like jade petals and disappear into the pool, giving people an open feeling and showing the loveliness of snowflakes. The last two sentences, I want to ask where these "flowers" come from. Ask Dong Jun, the goddess of spring. She doesn't know either. Is Dong Jun really "I don't know"? That's not true. Now that winter has come, spring is not far away. [4]
