In the poem,"I was surprised that the quilt and pillow were cold, and I saw the window bright again." I know the snow is heavy at night, and I hear the sound of bamboo being broken." Starting from the human feelings,"surprised quilt pillow cold" not only pointed out the existence of snow, but also hinted that the snow was heavy, because the temperature would not drop sharply when the first snow fell, and when it felt cold, the snow had fallen for a long time. At the same time,"surprised" also reflected the characteristics of the snow falling silently;"Seeing the window again" was written from a visual point of view, and seeing the window at night indicated that the snow was heavy and accumulated deeply;"The night knew the snow was heavy, and the sound of bamboo folding was heard from time to time" was written from an auditory point of view. Hearing the sound of bamboo folding, it could be seen that the snow was increasing. Through touch, sight, and hearing, the poet wrote his own feelings and feelings about the night snow. Although the whole poem did not directly describe the size of the snow and the beauty of the snow scene, it vividly recreated the night snow, giving people a dignified, simple, fresh and elegant feeling. It was full of picture sense and had a unique charm. The novel "There's Snow in Kyokuboku" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Night Rain, Tang Bai Juyi
Night Rain was written by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem contained the poet's deep longing. The poem showed that the person the poet missed was far away from home and had something in his heart. Because of the distance, he couldn't go to his distant hometown, so he could only look at it every day. The sorrow in his heart couldn't be resolved, and he pondered every night. On the night of the empty hall where the lamp was broken, the autumn had not yet broken, and the wind and rain were heavy. The poet said that if he did not learn the Buddhist Dharma of the ascetic monk, he would never forget the past. The creation of this poem was related to Bai Juyi's emotional experience.

Appreciation of Bai Juyi's Poem of Zither at Night
In Night Guzheng, the words "purple sleeves and red strings" referred to the person playing the guzheng and the guzheng. The words were neatly used, which not only hinted at the identity of the person playing the guzheng as a prostitute, but also portrayed her beautiful image. The poem used the bright moon to point out the "night", which easily made people think of the bright moon night at the head of Xunyang River in "Song of the Pipa." The zither player " played by himself ". The two " self " characters reflected the state of being as if no one else was around, indicating that he was engrossed in the zither music. This was similar to the " low eyebrows and casual hands playing " in " Song of the Pipa." Only when the performer was immersed in it could he infect others. Although the zither people in the poem did not share their sad history like the pipa girl, the words "dark and low" left the reader with unlimited imagination. This poem had very few positive descriptions of the zither music, only the word "play", followed by the silent moments, such as "strings congealing","fingers swallowing","sound stopping". This silence was an organic part of the music, a sudden change at the peak of emotion, not pure silence, but closely related to the sound and emotion. The listener could feel "another deep affection" from it. This writing style was based on the "Song of the Pipa","The icy spring is cold and astringent, and the strings are condensed, and the sound is temporarily stopped." The poem,"There are other sorrows and hatred, at this time silence is better than sound", guides the reader to discover the beauty of silence and then understand the beauty of the zither music.
"On the Pool" by Bai Juyi
There were two poems in Bai Juyi's "On the Pool." The first was: " The cold wind is blowing, and the cold dew is zero. The flowers of orchids begin to turn white, and the leaves of lotuses are still green. Alone perched on the sand crane, flying in pairs, shining on the water fireflies. If it's a lonely place, it's still worth waking up from wine." This poem depicted the scene on the pond during the cold dew season. The cool wind curled up, the cold dew descended, the orchids withered, and the lotus withered. There were sand cranes standing alone, and water fireflies flying in pairs. It displayed a desolate but autumn-like beauty. The second was,"Little Baby, hold the boat and steal the white lotus back." If you don't hide your tracks, you'll open up the duckweed together." This poem described the scene of a little child secretly picking white lotuses. The child's innocent, childish, lively, and mischievous image was vividly portrayed on the paper. It was a poem describing the life of a child. The novel "Song of Everlasting Sorrow: Morning and Evening" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
