Appreciation of poetry and prose
This five-character quatrain was written by the poet when he was exiled to Yongzhou. After Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, his spirit was greatly hit and his mood was low. This poem is to express his lofty aloofness and his political frustration and depression by praising the hermit fisherman. The seclusion of the objective realm in the poem can better reflect the author's lonely mood. In simple and delicate language, the poem depicts a picture of fishing in the snowy area of the Han River: there are no birds in Qian Shan, and only lonely fishermen are fishing in Jiang Xue. The vast and lonely background space highlights the solitary boat fishing. The poet painted a clean and beautiful world with faint pen and ink.
