River Snow (江雪)
Liu Zongyuan's Tang-dynasty poem — one old fisherman alone in a world of snow.
Tap any word for its meaning
千山鸟飞绝，Across a thousand mountains, no bird flies;万径人踪灭。on ten thousand paths, no trace of anyone.
孤舟蓑笠翁，A lone boat — an old man in straw cape and hat,独钓寒江雪。fishing alone in the cold river snow.
