Jiang Xue and Ye Xue described snow scenes in different scenes and emotions respectively.
Jiang Xue's poem was written by Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. With concise and clear words, the author vividly shows the scene of the river covered with heavy snow and fishermen fishing alone. The phrase "a hundred mountains and no bird, a thousand paths without a footprint" depicts a cold and quiet environment, giving people a feeling of loneliness and sadness. The phrase "a little boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing in the cold river-snow" highlights the fisherman's lonely image, which is in sharp contrast with the previous environment. The whole poem expresses the author Liu Zongyuan's feelings about the coldness and loneliness of the world through the description of the environment and characters.
The poem Yexue was written by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem mainly describes the scene of snow at night and the author's feelings about this beautiful scenery. In the poem, the phrase "I'm surprised that my pillow is cold, but I can see the window again" shows the cold and light brought by the snow at night through the description of feeling and vision. "The sound of breaking bamboo when you smell it" further emphasizes that the snow is so big that it can break bamboo.
The phrase "Night knows how heavy the snow is" expresses the author's concern about the snow potential and his awe of nature. The language of the whole poem is approachable and the emotion is sincere and moving. Through the description of the snow at night, the author's delicate feelings and awe of the natural landscape are displayed.
Both Jiang Xue's poems and Yexue's poems focus on snow, but they depict different scenes and express different emotions. Jiang Xue pays more attention to the lonely and desolate environment and the feeling of indifference to the world, while Yexue pays more attention to the description of snow at night and the awe of nature. These two poems have become the classics of China's classical poetry with their unique artistic expression and profound theme connotation.
Poems with the theme of snow:
1. a Song of White Snow in Farewell to Field-Clerk Wu Going Home
Tang Censhen
the north wind rolls the white grasses and breaks them, and the Eighth-month snow across the Tartar sky.
is like a spring gale, come up in the night, blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees.
it enters the pearl blinds, it wets the silk curtains, a fur coat feels cold, a cotton mat flimsy.
bows become rigid, can hardly be drawn, it's hard to protect your iron clothes.
the sand-sea deepens with fathomless ice, the gloom is bleak and Wan Li is condensed.
but we drink to our guest bound home from camp, and play him barbarian lutes, guitars, harps.
till at dusk, when the drifts are crushing our tents, and our frozen red flags cannot flutter in the wind.
we watch him through Wheel-Tower Gate going eastward, into the snow-mounds of Heaven-Peak Road.
and then he disappears at the turn of the pass, leaving behind him only hoof-prints.
2. The owner of Furong Mountain who stays in every snow
Liu Changqing of Tang Dynasty
Cangshan Mountain is far away at dusk, and it is cold and white.
Chai Men smells dogs barking, and the snow returns to people at night.
3. Two other poems. One of them
Fan Yun in the Northern and Southern Dynasties
Luoyang City, east and west, is long for classics.
in the past, snow was like a flower, but now it is like snow.
4. The next song
Tang Lu Lun
high in the faint moonlight, wildgeese are soaring, tartar chieftains are fleeing through the dark.
and we chase them, with horses lightly burdened, and a burden of snow on our bows and our swords.
