Original poem:
"Snow on the River" Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan
Thousands of mountains and birds have disappeared, and thousands of people have disappeared.
A man in a lone boat with a coir raincoat fishing fishing alone in the snow in the cold river.
Interpretation:
On all the mountains, the birds have disappeared, and all the roads have no trace of people.
In a lone boat on the river, an old man wearing a straw hat was fishing alone on the cold river covered with heavy snow.
Extended information:
This poem was written when Liu Zongyuan was exiled to Yongzhou (805-815 AD). Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima and exiled for ten years. The oppression of the dangerous environment did not crush him. He showed the value of life and ideals and interests through poetry.
This is a picture of the snow scene in Jiangxiang. The mountains are covered with snow and the roads are all white. The birds disappeared and the traces of people disappeared. The distant scenery is vast and the surrounding scenery is lonely and cold. The artistic conception is secluded and the mood is desolate. The image of the fisherman is carefully crafted, clear and complete. The poem adopts rhyme, which is vigorous and powerful. Poets from past dynasties all praised it. Masters of painting through the ages also competed with each other to draw many touching pictures of rivers, sky and snow scenes with this theme.
I seem to see a small boat in the wind and snow on the Xiangjiang River. There is a fisherman wearing a raincoat and a hat sitting on the boat. He has a resolute mouth and a stern look. He is proud of the wind and snow and is not afraid of it. In the desolate cold, fishing in the snow, overlooking the long river of ancient and modern history, it is awe-inspiring and inviolable.
At this time, there is no need for the fisherman to evaluate his victory or defeat. His personality strength and spiritual charm have swept everything and defeated everything!
