In December of Yuanhe eight years, it snowed for five days in succession.
Bamboo and cypress all freeze to death, and the people have no clothes to wear!
Of all the families in the village, eight or nine are poor.
The cold wind is like a sharp sword, and the clothes are too thin to cover.
Only by lighting wormwood and heat, spend the morning waiting for the morning.
I only know that farmers are more bitter and sour in the cold year.
Then reflect on yourself and close the door of the hut tightly.
Brown fur is covered with a twisted quilt, and there is a residual temperature when sitting and lying down.
I'm glad to get rid of hunger and cold instead of farming alone.
I'm sorry I missed him. Ask who you are.

A series of poems
In December of Yuanhe 8, it snowed for five days.
Freezing cold-resistant bamboo and cypress trees, many poor people still have no clothes to wear!
Looking at the neighbors in the same village, eight or nine out of ten families are poor.
The north wind is like a sword, they can't hide it.
I had to burn hay to keep warm, and then sit still all night waiting for dawn.
I didn't know that farmers were so bitter in the cold years.
Look at yourself at this time and close the door in the thatched cottage.
Wearing a fur coat and a silk quilt, there is enough room temperature to sit and fall asleep.
Fortunately, I was not hungry or cold, nor did I work hard in the fields.
I feel guilty at the thought of them. I asked myself, who are you?
meaning
The language of this poem is popular and fluent, using pure line drawing technique, revealing the true feelings and true meaning in the plain poetic environment, which embodies the author's typical poetic style.
The author focuses on the use of comparative methods to compare the poverty situation of farmers with their own food and clothing. From the author's heartfelt "rhetorical question" self-reproach, it highlights the noble character and sentiment of the author who cares about the people's sufferings and always asks himself and answers himself. It is what most people with a sense of justice and kindness can do to compare the miserable life of the people with the luxurious life of the rich children and attack those who are unkind to the rich. But like the author, taking the people as a mirror, it is difficult for someone to reflect on themselves all the time and even blame themselves. It is from this point that we can see that the author is indeed a great poet with a high heart throughout the ages, and think that the reason why his poems can last forever and get higher and higher evaluation must be directly related to his heart.
