Xue Jiang
Liutang Zongyuan
There are no birds in the mountains,
A thousand roads without footprints.
A boat, a bamboo cloak,
An old man was fishing in the cold river snow.
Jiang Xue is a five-character landscape poem written by Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It describes a cold river, with no pedestrians and birds, only an old man alone in the boat, fishing silently.
