In the silence of deep winter, snowflakes fall one after another, like a silent picture slowly unfolding. It is a silent symphony, an ode to nature in its purest form. In this context, the ancient poet Du Xunhe, with his unique literary style and realm, wrote a poem that does not see the word snow but is full of snow.
The poet does not need to directly describe the posture of the snow, but it can make people feel as if they are in the vast snowy field. The cold of the winter night touches the sleeper's bed, causing them to feel the icy breath, and the bright light shines through the window, announcing the heavy snow of the night with the first rays of dawn in the morning. In the middle of the night, people know that the accumulation of snowflakes is based on feeling rather than sight, just like the sound of breaking bamboo, the weight of snow can be known.
The shadows of birds passing by disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and the occasional sound of bamboo cracking could be heard in the valleys. Needless to say, these sights are proof of snow. The lair became difficult to tell under the snow, and the roads between the plains and the mountains were made equal by the snow. This is not only a change in nature, but also a balance of the world in the eyes of the poet.
The poem mentions that the son who complains about the cold is in stark contrast to the hard-working woodcutter. The complaints of the young man in Chinese clothes and the figure of the woodcutter walking in the snow outline the different attitudes and fates of different people under the same natural conditions. This comparison is a profound analysis of human nature.
Like Bai Juyi's "Night Snow", Du Xunhe's poems also use very concise language, with the help of night, coldness, light, sound and other elements to construct a picture of snow. Their poems do not have flowery rhetoric or deliberate descriptions, but they can achieve the effect of "finishing touch". It is a masterful artistic technique that allows the reader to feel the scent of snow between each line, but without seeing its form.
Through this conception, Du Xunhe closely connects his emotions with the winter snow, so that readers seem to be able to feel the temperature changes in the poet's heart. Even though the word "snow" is not mentioned in the whole poem, it makes people feel as if they are there, feeling the purification of snow, the coldness of snow, and the tenacity and helplessness of ordinary life under the snow.
In the end, the poem is not just a description of snow, it is a philosophical realization. The arrival of snow has restored equality to all things in the world, regardless of their status or status. In this sea of snow, everyone has their own position and role, whether it is a rich son or a poor woodcutter. Through this snowy region, the poet shows us a transcendent realm, and also inspires people to have a peaceful mind to face the cold and difficulties in life.
After reading such poems, it is not difficult for us to find that true art does not lie in the gorgeous appearance, but in the deep connotation. With its unique style and far-reaching connotation, Du Xunhe's "Snow" has become a treasure in the treasure trove of Chinese literature. In those days covered in winter snow, we may be able to draw strength and find a trace of warmth from these ancient psalms.
