2. The phrase "Looking at the Lake Pavilion and Snow" is similar to Jiang Xue's artistic conception of "a leaf boat, a bamboo cloak, an old fisherman cold river-snow".

Let's make a comparison. Liu Zongyuan's Jiang Xue is a five-character quatrain, while Zhang Dai's Looking at the Lake Pavilion and Snow is a lyric prose. The meaning of "there are no birds in a hundred mountains, and there are no footprints in a thousand paths" in the poem is exactly the same as that of Zhang Dai's sentence "After three days of heavy snow, all the birds in the lake die". These are all environmental descriptions. But "some people will naturally show certain ideas in some situations." "Watching the snow alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake." The word "independence" not only shows the purpose of going to the pavilion in the middle of the lake alone-to see the snow. The word "independence" in Liu Zongyuan's Jiang Xue has the same meaning as the word "independence" in The Old Man in the Snow. It can be said that Zhang Dai's thoughts and feelings are also integrated into this kind of "independence". It not only shows Zhang Dai's mentality and unique aesthetic taste at this moment, but also shows Zhang Dai's feelings of "being born noble", showing his spiritual realm of not drifting with the flow, pursuing a long and refined life, and yearning for a high degree of spiritual unity and harmony between man and nature.
