Introduction to the article:
Snow is a prose poem in Lu Xun's prose poetry collection Weeds. The poet was in Beijing at that time. Facing the snowy day in the north, which is "full of space" and "rising in rotation", the poet put forward an intriguing question at the beginning: "The rain that warms the country has never turned into cold, hard and brilliant snowflakes.
A knowledgeable person thinks he is monotonous. Does he think this is unfortunate? The poet began to write about snow instead of directly writing about snow, aiming at explaining that snow is condensed by rain, and they are homogeneous sisters, laying the groundwork for praising the snow in the north as "the spirit of rain" at the end of the article.
The poet wrote the characteristics and strange scenery of Shuoxue with affectionate and severe words. The poet used the word "but" to turn around. First, he wrote the unique texture and shape of Shuoxue, which is completely different from the snow in the south above: it will always be "like powder and sand" and "never touch", and it will not melt anywhere without "the warmth of the house fire".
This is determined by the harsh winter climate in Shuofang and the characteristics of Shuoxue itself. In Shuofang, snowflakes are just scattered on the lifeless "house, ground and hay" in the cold. Because there are no gorgeous winter flowers, butterflies and bees that love flowers; Because severe cold, especially snow, can't "bond with its own moisture" like snow in the south of the Yangtze River, children's fun of playing with ocean snow is lost.
