What does it mean to have a feeling of snow at dusk outside?
A suggestion for my friend Liu.
There is a glimmer of green in the old bottle and a hint of red in the quiet stove.
With dusk and snow coming, how about a glass of wine?
My newly brewed rice wine has not been filtered, and there is a layer of green bubbles on the surface of the wine, which smells fragrant. A small red mud stove for scalding wine is also ready. It's cloudy. It seems to snow at night. Can you stay and have a drink with me?
By describing the drinking environment and the weather outside, this five-line poem repeatedly renders the drinking atmosphere, which naturally leads to the last sentence and is written with endless charm. At the same time, it also contains the profound friendship between the poet and Liu Shijiu. As you can imagine, Liu Shijiu read Bai Juyi's poems, and of course he came immediately in high spirits, and the two drank happily. It may be snowing heavily outside, but the room is warm and bright, warm and comfortable, and intoxicating. The language of the whole poem is concise and implicit, with endless aftertaste.
