The background of Huang Tingjian in "Poetry on Snow"

The clear spring snow in the sky is as clear as washing, and I suddenly recall the clear water of the river and see the sand

Listen to the sparseness at night, but it is dense and dense, and watch the whole thing slant at dawn

The wind returns** *As a whirling dance, the sky can bloom flowers in an instant

Even if it is cold to the bone, the peaches and plums can be used for their years

[Appreciation] "Listen to the sparseness at night and become dense again, and watch the whole complex at dawn. "Xie Xie" means using empty characters to move Qi, with eight characters overlapping each other, which can be said to be unique and ingenious.
