1. "Light Snow in the Middle of October" Tang Dynasty: Yuan Zhen
Original text:
Don't blame the rainbow for its lack of shadow, it's snowing now.
Yin and Yang are up and down, cold and hot are separated.
The full moon shines in the sky, and the strong wind rustles the tree branches.
Hengqin is still frowning on his own.
Translation: It is already the light snow season, and the rainbow should not appear again. The weather is getting colder and the warm breath is gradually leaving. The moonlight fills the sky, and the cold wind blows the branches. In this solar term, even playing the piano and drinking wine can't relieve the boredom in my heart.

There have been frequent light snow days, and the cold weather in the south of the Yangtze River has not changed.
Feng Ting still remembers seeing others farewell, but Mai Long only owes his childhood sleep.
Moreover, it is planned to be close to the water. Occasionally, I go to the village for medicine.
The neighbor is comforting, indicating that next year will be the year of Ren.
Translation: The one-year-old snow solar term is here again, and the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is the same. After the light snowfall in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is almost the same as in autumn. The red maples on the river and the wheatgrass in the fields are still the same. Looking at this beautiful scene, I couldn't help but think about building a thatched hut by the water, like the celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties who came to the village after taking medicine to distribute the medicinal properties. I heard the old men in the village lamenting that after the auspicious snow, next year will definitely be a good year!

Moisten the bamboo roots and fatten the wax shoots, and warm the vegetable shells to help the spring dish.
There are many things to do in front of you, but less sightseeing and travel, and you have no worries about your chest and a wide drinking capacity.
I heard that the pear pressed into the sand has moved, and I will have to whip the horse and trample the mud to see.
Translation: The light snow is beginning to clear, and the scenery in the city is like jade and silver carvings. The snow falls on the bamboo roots, providing moisture for the growth of the bamboo. The auspicious snow year will insulate the vegetables on next spring's plate from the cold. I am usually busy with affairs and rarely go out to socialize. I feel carefree and drink a lot. I heard that the pear blossoms have quietly bloomed, so let’s go and watch them on the spring mud after the snow melts!

Original text:
Looking for plum trees in the snow, but the remaining frost has ruined the chrysanthemum branches.
Every time I think it’s late, it’s still too late if I don’t say thank you.
I have been accustomed to being hungry, cold and sleepy for a long time, and I have been frequently banned from thieves and thieves.
The sentiment of Shaoling is there, and the poetry of Huanhua is sometimes satirical.
Translation: It is going to snow, the plum blossoms are about to bloom, and the chrysanthemum branches are still covered with frost. People often say that chrysanthemums bloom late, but they don’t know that they also fall late. Life is also a cold winter, and I have long been accustomed to being hungry and cold, and being threatened by thieves. This situation is so similar to that of Du Fu, who was full of troubles!
