Lu You's Translation of Snow

Song Luyou translated "Heavy Snow": the fourth day of the watch, the north wind brought a heavy snow; The snow that God gave us just arrived on New Year's Eve, indicating a bumper harvest in the coming year. Before half a glass of Tu Su wine was held up to celebrate the New Year, I had written the peach symbol of welcoming spring with grass in the sun.

Original: At the beginning of the fourth watch, the north wind blows snow, and Jiarui is arrogant and misses the beginning. Before the glass half full of wine could be lifted to celebrate, I was still writing Fu Tao in cursive script under the lamp.

Lu You is bold and unconstrained, ambitious, pursuing vigorous and vigorous poetic style, and despising delicate and delicate at the same time, forming a poetic style with bold momentum and grand realm. Lu You devoted all his lofty aspirations and lofty sentiments that could not be realized in real life to his poems. He is often known as "Little Li Bai" because of his heroic spirit in his mind and his dreamland poems.

However, there is an insurmountable contradiction between the desire for fame and the resistance of those in power, and the harsh realistic environment has brought an unavoidable burden to the poet's mind. Therefore, Lu You advocates Du Fu, cares about reality, and advocates that poetry is "outside poetry", and his poetic style has a gloomy and sad side close to Du Fu.
