There should be no such thing as a circle of friends in ancient times. It’s just that literati and poets who like to compose poems don’t like to let go of such beautiful scenery when the wind and snow are falling, so they write poems full of stars. First, let’s describe the snow scene and their inner thoughts at that time. For them, this is their real sense of existence.
What impressed me most about ancient descriptions of snow scenes was the poem "Snow on the River" written by Liu Zongyuan, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. He wrote in his mind "A man with a lone boat and a coir, fishing alone for snow in the cold river." In the middle, an old man is shown sitting on a boat, looking at all the white snow. It really feels desolate. This is probably Liu Zongyuan's situation at that time.
Of course, there are many poets who did not miss this beautiful scenery, and their famous sayings have been studied and translated by our descendants. From the poems, we can understand their situation and mood at that time.
Yes, we are very happy now, but we may not see the goose-feather heavy snow before. Not to mention writing poetry. Building a doll in the heavy snow and posting photos represent the scene, and the omnipotent circle of friends can also like and forward it. Perhaps the contemporary sense of existence has completely separated from the ancient artistic conception.
