Snow song

The river is general, and the well is black.

The yellow dog is white and the white dog is swollen.

Translation:

The heavy snow dyed the whole river white and the well in front of the house became a black hole.

The yellow dog and the white dog are chasing in the snow. The yellow dog is dyed white, and the white dog is covered with snow, which seems to be swollen.

Creative background:

One winter, there was a heavy snow all over the mountain, and it was all white. People in Zhang Dayou village are very happy to see such good snow. One by one, they came to Zhang Dayou's home and asked him to write a poem on "Singing Snow". Zhang Dayou is very happy to see his neighbor walking in the snow. He looked at the flying snowflakes and strange snow scenes, took paper and ink, and meditated attentively. At this time, a yellow dog and a white dog in the village followed him. He wrote this poem with great care.

Although it is as clear as words, mixed with village slang, it is highly praised by people because of its unique perspective, vivid humor and ingenious fun. This kind of poetry is called "doggerel" by later generations. This interesting poem about snow is the first of its kind. The doggerel is clever in clumsiness and elegant in vulgarity. Elegant and harmonious language, with special artistic charm, is often unforgettable.
