There are no birds flying over those mountains, and there are no traces of people in those paths. A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.
Whole poem translation:
On all the mountains, birds are gone, and on all the roads, there are no traces of people. On a lonely boat on the river, an old man in a hat was fishing alone in the snow.
Appreciation of the whole poem:
The poet used only twenty words to describe a quiet and cold picture: on the snowy river, a boat and an old fisherman were fishing alone on the cold river. What the poet shows his readers is this: the world is so pure and silent, spotless and silent; The fisherman's life is noble, and the fisherman's character is detached.
The poet used the words "Qianshan" and "Wanjing" to set off the pictures of "boating alone" and "fishing alone" in the following two sentences. Without the words "thousand" and "ten thousand", the words "loneliness" and "independence" at the back will appear bland and uninspiring. Secondly, birds flying on the mountain and people walking on the road are very common things and the most general image.
But the poet put them under the "Qianshan" and "Wanjing" and added the word "absolutely" and "extinct", which suddenly turned the most common and summarized dynamic into extreme silence and absolute silence, forming an unusual scene. So the following two sentences used to be static descriptions. Because it is placed in this absolutely quiet background, it is exquisite, lively and lively.
It can also be said that the first two sentences were originally a foil. According to the general understanding, it is enough to outline the outline, and there is no need to make great efforts to carve it. However, poets just don't handle it this way. It's like making a movie. How many close-ups are used to explain and reflect every corner of the background? The more specific and detailed you write, the more exaggerated you are.
The last two sentences, originally the object of the poet's intentional description, turned into a long-distance lens, which was reduced many times, giving readers an ethereal feeling, visible and intangible. Only by writing in this way can we express the lofty and detached thoughts and feelings that the author is eager to show to readers. As for the formation of this sense of remoteness, it is mainly the effect that the author adds a word "snow" at the end of the whole poem, which is connected with the word "Jiang".
