江雪
Author Liu Zongyuan, Tang Dynasty
Thousands of birds have disappeared, and thousands of people have disappeared.
A man in a lone boat with a coir raincoat fishing fishing alone in the snow in the cold river.
Translation Notes
On all the mountains, the birds are all cut off; on all the roads, there is no trace of human beings.
In a lone boat on the river, the fisherman wears a raincoat and a hat; fishing alone, he is not afraid of ice and snow.
