Extended data

This poem depicts a picture of a snowy night. The first two sentences, what the poet saw and felt in the mountain village. The "sunset" in the first sentence indicates the time: evening. "Cangshan is in the distance" is what the poet saw on his way through the snow. Overlooking the green hills, the clouds are lingering, suggesting the hardships of trekking and the desire to stay for a long time. The next sentence "cold weather, poor house" points out the place to stay.

The last two sentences describe the poet after living in his master's house. "Chai Men smells dogs barking." The poet went into the hut and went to bed. Suddenly, he heard a dog barking on the sofa. The poet guessed that Albert Venn Dicey, the cloak master of Furong Mountain, had returned.

"Snowstorm returns to people at night", "Snowstorm" means hardship and cold, but being able to "return at night" contains emotional interest and transcendental human warmth, which is also the feeling of the soul after suffering. As the saying goes, "if you are up to speed, you will be lucky", if you are poor, you will be bright and flood, and if you are foggy and leopard, when it comes to returning at night in the snow, its symbolic significance is also obvious.

The first sentence "sunset" means going in and out, and "far" means rising tone. Coupled with the two horizontal tones of Cangshan, one sentence forms the beauty of the rhythm of four tones: flat, rising, going and entering, and the other three sentences are roughly the same, or there are yin and yang changes in the horizontal tones, such as It's Cold and Guiren; Nuo's voice has changed from top to bottom, such as "dog barking" and "snowy night", and its suffix is "far" and "barking", which makes this poem full of high and low beauty and cadence.

Taking "Cangshan" as a contrast to "Baijia", the mountain is pale and the house is white, and the two reflect each other from a distance, forming a silver-white boundless world. Then, with the truth of "far" and "poor" (here "poor" means less and lack), it points out the vastness in front of us and accurately expresses the scene seen from a distance.
