After the snow in the mountains
Zheng Xie in Qing Dynasty
Opening the door in the morning is full of snow, the snow is clear, the clouds are light and the sun is cold.
There is no drop of plum blossom frozen on the eaves, which is a kind of loneliness.
Translation:
As soon as I opened the door in the morning, I saw that the top of the mountain had been covered by a heavy snow. At this time, the sky has cleared, and the light of the rising sun has become cold through the faint white clouds. The snow on the eaves has not yet begun to melt, and the plum branches in the yard are still frozen by ice and snow. How unusual is such a deserted atmosphere!
