Jiang Xue was written by Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
There are no birds in a hundred mountains, and there are no footprints in a thousand paths. A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.
About the author: Liu Zongyuan, known as "Liu Hedong". In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793), he was a scholar, and was awarded the orthography of Jixian Hall, transferred to Lantian Wei, and worshipped the imperial history. After the failure of "Yongzhen Innovation" due to his participation in Wang Group, he was demoted to Yongzhou Sima. Ten years later, he moved to Liuzhou as a secretariat, so he was also called "Liu Liuzhou" and died of illness.
The extended information poet used only 20 words to paint a quiet and cold picture: on the snowy river, a boat and an old fisherman were fishing alone on the cold river.
What the poet shows his readers is this: the world is so pure and silent, spotless and silent; The fisherman's life is noble, and the fisherman's character is detached. In fact, this is a fantasy realm created by the poet because he hated the declining society of the Tang Dynasty at that time. Compared with the characters in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, he is more ethereal and far away from the world.
What the poet wants to describe in detail is very simple, but it is just a boat, an old fisherman wearing hemp fiber and Li hat, fishing on the snowy river, and that's all. However, in order to highlight the main description object, the poet did not hesitate to use half of the space to describe its background, and made the background as broad as possible, almost to an infinite extent.
The wider the background, the more prominent the main description object. First of all, the poet used the words "Qianshan" and "Wanjing" to set off the following two pictures of "boating alone" and "fishing alone". Without the words "thousand" and "ten thousand", the words "loneliness" and "independence" at the back will appear bland and uninspiring.
Secondly, birds flying on the mountain and people walking on the road are very common things and the most general image. But the poet put them under the "Qianshan" and "Wanjing" and added the word "absolutely" and "extinct", which suddenly turned the most common and summarized dynamic into extreme silence and absolute silence, forming an unusual scene.
In this poem, everything is snowy, the mountains are snowy, the roads are snowy, and "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing" are snowy, making birds fly away and people disappear. Even the awning and fisherman's hat are covered with snow. But the poet did not explicitly associate these scenes with "snow".
On the contrary, in this painting, there is only Jiang and only Rulu. Of course, the river will not store snow, and it will not be covered by snow. Even if it falls into the river, it will immediately become water. The poet only used the word "cold river snow" to connect the two images with the farthest relationship, giving people a vague, distant and narrow feeling and forming a long-distance lens.
This makes the main object described in the poem more concentrated, dexterous and prominent. Because even the river seems to be covered with snow, even the places where there is no snow are covered with snow, which completely describes the dense and thick snow and completely sets off the atmosphere of water and sky.
Describe the background in a concrete and meticulous way, and depict the subject image in a long-distance picture; Fine and extremely exaggerated generalizations are intricately unified in a poem, which is the unique artistic feature of this landscape poem.
