What season does a hundred mountains have no birds, a thousand paths and no footprints describe?

There are no birds in a hundred mountains and no footprints in a thousand paths are poems describing winter.

There are no birds in a hundred mountains, and there are no footprints in a thousand paths. A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.

Dynasty: Tang Dynasty

Author: Liu Zongyuan

From: Jiang Xue.

Translation:

On all the mountains, birds are gone, and on all the roads, there are no traces of people.

On a lonely boat on the river, an old man in a bamboo hat was fishing alone on the cold river covered with heavy snow.

Extended data:

This poem was written during Liu Zongyuan's exile in Yongzhou (AD 805-8 15). During Yongzhen Yuan's reign (805), Liu Zongyuan took part in Yongzhen Innovation Movement initiated by Wang Group, and soon the reform failed. Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima and exiled for ten years. The oppression of the sinister environment did not crush him. He expresses the value and ideal interest of life through poetry.

The landscape poems written by Liu Zongyuan have a remarkable feature, that is, the objective realm is relatively quiet, while the poet's subjective state of mind is relatively lonely, sometimes even too lonely, too cold and cheerless, without any human fireworks.

This song "Jiang Xue" is like this. The poet painted a quiet and cold picture in only 20 words: on the snowy river, a boat and an old fisherman were fishing alone on the cold river.
