What does it mean to say, "There are no birds in a hundred mountains, no footprints in a thousand paths, a boat with a leaf, a bamboo cloak, and an old man fishing for cold river snow"?

Meaning: There is no trace of birds on the surrounding mountains, and there is no trace of people on the path. Only on a boat on the river, an old man wearing hemp fiber and hat was fishing alone on the cold river.

Jiang Xue by Liu Zongyuan? Liu Zongyuan (773-8 19)

There are no birds flying over those mountains, and there are no traces of people in those paths.

A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.

1, in 805 AD, Liu Zongyuan was 33 years old. Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, depressed. By describing the scenery of mountains and rivers and praising the fishermen who live in seclusion between mountains and rivers, he expressed his lofty and aloof feelings and his anguish and distress in political frustration.

He wrote this famous poem with resentment. Of course, it is also possible that Liu Zongyuan happened to be in the beautiful scenery at that time and wrote this poem naturally out of the state of scenery.

3. It is idealistic to infer the author's mood at that time blindly from the emotion expressed in the poem. The real answer, perhaps only that day in 805 AD, Liu Zongyuan, who wrote about Jiang Xue, knew it himself, and others could only guess.
