Text: Li Ji. Our destination was a wooded area to the west of the stockade.
The grove was on top of a high mountain.
We climbed the hill and the fog came down from the top of the mountain.
The cold wind comes down from the top of the mountain, and the raindrops in the wind and mist come down from the top of the mountain.
We had a hard time The cold spell of spring made the roads muddy.
It was as if everyone was a prisoner of grief heading to the realm of nothingness.
Sixteen of them, they have to go steady.
They carried on their shoulders a loved one who had just been put into a coffin.

Recommended words] Reading "The Cold of Spring", which is easy to understand, is written about the funeral of people sending the deceased up the mountain for burial. The biggest feature is the expression of emotion but not sadness, in the face of the death of a loved one, the reader feels the pain, and at the same time, this pain is effectively prevented by the poet, and does not slide into excessive sadness. So, how did the poet achieve such an artistic effect?
Undoubtedly, this is closely related to the selection of the scene of "Falling Spring Cold". With the help of the natural phenomenon of inverted spring cold, the poet creates a cold and bleak artistic conception through vivid imagery such as hillsides, fog, cold wind, raindrops, cold waves, and mud, which melts with the prisoner's state of mind, so as to achieve the perfect unity of scenery and people.
The first three stanzas of the poem are mainly written in the scene, creating a poignant emotional tone. It is only in the fourth stanza that events in a particular environment are recounted. On the surface, the poem is avoiding the important and trivial, but this is precisely the mechanism that the poet has cleverly set up. The relatives and families of the deceased, in the face of the death of their loved ones, what kind of mental and emotional fluctuations are brought about, which happens to be contained in the artistic conception of the cold spring, leaving readers with a broad aesthetic space.
If poetry is written with great sadness, then it completely violates our country's poetry tradition of "mourning but not sadness". The poetic expression of "Spring Cold" just meets the aesthetic needs of the majority of readers for this tradition.
