Extended information
Creation background:
When I first arrived in Zheng Banqiao, Yangzhou, I was poor and ran into Ma Yueyan and Ma Yuelu, and then formed a deep friendship. Later, the three of them traveled together to visit the Xiaoling Mountain Pavilion and improvised a poem "Singing Snow" on the topic of snowflakes.
Appreciation of Poetry:
The main meaning of this poem is the abundance, whiteness and beauty of snowflakes. One, three, five, etc., these numbers are all imaginary numbers, not really just a few snowflakes. Zheng Banqiao uses numbers mainly in this way to tell people that the beauty and beauty of the snow scene show a beautiful scene of heavy snow before people's eyes.
After Zheng Banqiao made a catchy digital poetry with numbers, this concise expression was gradually loved by people. After Zheng Banqiao, many people imitated Zheng Banqiao's poem "Yong Xue" to write poems, such as the later famous poem "Yong Yu" written by Emperor Qianlong and "Counting the Stars" by unknown people, as well as the later "Yong Shu" and "Yong"
It can be said that Zheng Banqiao was the originator of digital poetry. However, although many people imitated Zheng Banqiao's poems about snow later, none of them reached the height of Zheng Banqiao's achievements in digital poetry. Therefore, the spread of those poems is not as good as Zheng Banqiao's chanting of snow.
