Appreciation:

This is a five-character quatrain with rhyme, which is one of Liu Zongyuan's representative works. It was written during his exile in Yongzhou (now Lingling, Hunan). After Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, he was greatly stimulated and depressed mentally. Therefore, he expressed his lofty and aloof feelings by describing the scenery of mountains and rivers and singing the fisherman who lived in seclusion between mountains and rivers, and expressed his depression and distress in political frustration.

Therefore, the landscape poems written by Liu Zongyuan have a remarkable feature, that is, the objective realm is relatively secluded, while the poet's subjective mood is relatively lonely, and sometimes even too lonely, too cold and cheerless, without a little human fireworks. This is obviously inseparable from the experience of his life and the development and change of his whole thoughts and feelings.

This song "Jiang Xue" is just like this. The poet took us to a quiet and cold place in only twenty words. In front of the readers, it is such a picture: on the snowy river, a small boat and an old fisherman are fishing alone in the cold river.

What the poet shows the readers is something like this: the world is so pure and silent, spotless and silent; The fisherman's life is so lofty, and his character is so aloof. In fact, this is an imaginary realm created by Liu Zongyuan because he hated the declining society of the Tang Dynasty at that time. Compared with the characters in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, I'm afraid it is still illusory and far away from the world.

What the poet wants to describe in detail is extremely simple, but it is just a boat, an old fisherman wearing a hemp fiber and a Dai Li hat, fishing on the snowy river, and that's all. However, in order to highlight the main description object, the poet did not hesitate to describe its background in half the space, and made the background as vast as possible, almost to an infinite extent. The broader the background, the more prominent the main description object is.

First of all, the poet used the words "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing" to set off the following two pictures of "boating alone" and "fishing alone". Without the words "thousand" and "ten thousand", the following words "loneliness" and "independence" would be bland and have no appeal.

Secondly, birds flying on the mountain and people walking on the road are very common things, which is also the most general image. However, the poet put them under "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing", and added a word "absolutely" and "destroyed", which suddenly turned the most common and generalized dynamics into extreme silence and absolute silence, forming an unusual scene.

Therefore, the following two sentences were originally static descriptions. Because they are placed in this absolutely quiet and silent background, they are exquisitely carved, animated and animated.

It can also be said that the first two sentences were originally a foil vision. Generally speaking, it is enough to draw an outline, and it is not necessary to spend a lot of effort to carve it. However, the poet just doesn't handle it this way. It's like making a movie, where every corner of the background is explained and reflected clearly with how many times of close-ups.

the more specific and detailed you write, the more generalized and exaggerated you appear. The latter two sentences, originally the object of the poet's intentional description, turned out to be a long-distance lens, which reduced it by many times, giving readers a feeling of ethereal, visible and intangible.

Only by writing in this way can we express the lofty and aloof thoughts and feelings that the author is eager to show to readers. As for the formation of this distant feeling, it is mainly the effect that the author puts a word "snow" at the end of the whole poem and connects it with the word "Jiang".
