Ancient poems and appreciation of winter: Bai Juyi's "Composition in the Wind and Snow"
Original text of "Composition in the Wind and Snow"
At the end of the year, the wind is shaking the earth, and the night is cold and snowy.
Where can I stay, in front of a warm tent and a warm stove?
Two layers of brown silk quilt, one collar of flower velvet felt.
I can’t breathe when the porridge is cooked, and I sleep peacefully when the sun is high.
At this time, the mind and body are free from distractions.
In this way, I have lived in peace for six years.
I suddenly think of tourists from far away, and then think of scholars from the early court.
The cold weather invades the night, and the cold weather does not rise until dawn.
The heart is the king and father of the body, and the body is the minister of the heart.
The lack of physical freedom is all caused by the mind.
Since my heart is content, my body is at peace.
I should live up to you with my words and bones.
