Five-character quatrains of heavy snow and solar terms

Jiang Xue is a five-character quatrain written by Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, in Yongzhou.

Typical generalizations are used in the poem, and Qianshan's Wan Jing Man Bird Jue, which best represents Shan Ye's cold, is chosen to describe the scene of heavy snow and freezing. Then draw an image of a fisherman fishing alone in the cold river to express the poet's unyielding and deep loneliness after being hit.

The poet used only twenty words to describe a quiet and cold picture: on the snowy river, a boat and an old fisherman were fishing alone on the cold river.

Extended data:

Jiang Xue was written during Liu Zongyuan's exile in Yongzhou (805-8 15). During Yongzhen Yuan's reign (805), Liu Zongyuan participated in Yongzhen Reform initiated by Wang Group, and carried out political measures to restrain internal officials, control foreign countries and safeguard national unity.

However, due to the joint opposition of reactionary forces, the reform soon failed. Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima and exiled for ten years. In fact, he lived a life of "prisoner" under control and house arrest. The oppression of the sinister environment did not crush him.

Being at a political disadvantage, he expressed the value and ideal interest of life through his poems. This poem is one of the masterpieces.
