Does anyone know that the real writing of warm words is hidden in the icy sky and cold snow?
Throughout the ages, there have been countless poems chanting snow, and it is the loneliness and coldness of the soul that evokes the resonance of people's hearts for ice and snow.
It is because of this resonance that poetry can trigger an avalanche of mind with a simple code.
Liu Zongyuan's "Jiang Xue" is a poem that uses snow to write down the loneliness of the heart.
"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and people in all paths are gone, and the lone boat is a man who fishes in the cold river snow alone." Both Qianshan and Wanjing have returned to silence.
This picture depicts the deep loneliness so touchingly.
Loneliness is enough to make one's heart hurt, and the cold from the snow is more like hitting an old disease.
This cold is not just physical cold, but a psychological experience.
If there is a raging fire in one's heart, a passion for ideals, and the love and warmth of the world, it will never be truly cold.
At this time, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to remote Yongzhou due to the failure of Yongzhen's reform. He was slandered by political enemies and alienated from relatives and friends. He felt that he was exiled and tasted the loneliness of the world.
"All Jingyu is love language", the figure of Han Jiangxue alone in the quiet world is actually a portrayal of his lonely state of mind.
We feel that the world is cold and bloody, and the blood is abandoned in the wilderness. The ideal road, the end of the hero, the twilight of the beauty, and the snow and ice in the sky will all be infected and sting.
Therefore, what the cold river snow caused was by no means the coldness of the unlined skin, but an avalanche of eternal cold and loneliness, hitting every passerby with wounds.
It is this coldness that touches our nostalgia, and we yearn so much for the "green ant new fermented grain wine, red mud small stove. When the sky is about to snow in the evening, I can drink a cup of nothing" (Bai Juyi, "Ask Liu Nineteen"). Warm scene in the snow.
Snow is actually the best image to create warmth.
If it wasn't for the arrival of the snowy night, the red stove and green wine were just brightly colored items, but the snowy night made them carry the temperature immediately.
If it weren't for the arrival of Xue Ye, drinking would be just an ordinary gathering of friends, but the package of Xue Ye turned drinking around the fireplace into a cordial celebration and a warm sharing.
This little poem brings people a warm heart.
The feeling of snow's skin rings the lonely and cold bell in people's hearts, but what inspires us is our deep desire for warmth and love.
Loneliness and cold have been conjoined twins since ancient times.
If there is no snow, why do we feel cold, and if it is not for this cold, how can we see the longing for warmth and love in our hearts?
It is in this icy sky and cold snow that we truly see warmth, just like in troubled times, that we see peace.
Does anyone know that the real writing of warm words is hidden in the icy sky and cold snow?
Only in this way can we unlock the code of this poetry spirit and see the eternal singing, loss and search of the human heart.
"When the sun sets, the mountains are far away, and the weather is cold and the houses are poor. Chaimen hears the barking of dogs, and returns to people on a snowy night." Liu Changqing's "The Master of Furong Mountain in Every Snow" made that snowy night more than a thousand years ago eternal.
Why does that bark make people feel so warm, and why is this person who returned from the snowy night so touching?
Because of the darkness caused by that night, because of the cold caused by the snow that hit the hearts of so many wanderers.
Returning in the snowy night, the hesitation of "the sun is setting and the mountains are far away" and the loneliness of "the sky is cold and the house is poor" are immediately settled, and the poet who has been relegated to a foreign land no longer looks for a home in the snowy night, because the home has been found.
In this short text, it shows the figure of the poet looking for a home in the mountains at sunset and in the wind and snow, and it is a portrait of the soul looking for a home in wandering and wandering.
If "Sunset" and "Tibetan" arouse everyone's hesitation of being homeless, then "Returning to People on a Snowy Night" arouses everyone's desire to return home.
If it weren't for this snow, why would we see our homelessness; if it wasn't for this snow, why would we seek that eternal destination.
This eternal chant echoes the German poet Rilke: "Whoever has no house at this moment does not need to build; whoever is lonely at this moment will be alone forever".
Who wouldn't want to come back on such a snowy night!
"In the past, I have gone, willow Yiyi. Now I come to think, rain and snow are falling." The snow in "Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Caiwei" evokes the deep nostalgia of the soldiers who have not returned for a long time, and reminds him of the willows in his hometown in the spring.
It is snow that exposes the predicament of people's existence, shows the nostalgia of people's ancient times, and drives our desire for warmth and eternity.
The ancient snow has fallen for thousands of years.
Are we still in the snowy night today, are we already a returnee?
