Read the original text of "Yangguan Snow"
① I once had the fate to look up at Baidi City on a river boat at dusk, and to climb the Yellow Crane Tower under the thick autumn frost. I touched Hanshan Temple on a winter night. There were a lot of people around me, and almost most of them had those unquoteable poems echoing in their hearts. People come here to see the scenery, and even more, they come to see the poems. Sometimes, this kind of thirst is like searching for a lost hometown or visiting separated relatives.
②The magic power of literati can turn a remote corner of the world into a hometown in everyone’s heart. What kind of magic is hidden in their faded green shirts?
③Today, I went to Xunyang Pass for Wang Wei’s "Weicheng Song". Before setting off, I asked the old man about it in the county where I was staying. The answer was: The road is far and there is nothing interesting to see. However, some literati worked hard to find it. The old man looked up at the sky and said: "The snow will not stop falling for a while, so don't suffer like this." ?I bowed to him, turned around and got into the snow.
④As soon as we walk out of the small county town, we are in the desert. There is nothing but a vast expanse of white snow, not even a wrinkle to be found. When traveling elsewhere, always find a goal for yourself at each stage, stare at a tree and rush over, and then stare at a stone and rush over. Here, even if it hurts to open my eyes, I can't see a target, not even a dead leaf or a black spot. So, I had to raise my head and look at the sky. I have never seen such a complete sky. It has not been swallowed up at all. The edges are all straight, tightly covering the earth. With such a land, genius is called heaven. With such a sky, the earth is called the earth. Walking alone in such a world, a dwarf becomes a giant. Walking alone in such a world, a giant becomes a dwarf.
⑤The sky turned sunny, the wind stopped, and the sun was very good. A few wisps of smoke gradually drifted out of the sky. They didn't move, but deepened. After a moment of confusion, I realized that they were ridges where the snow had just melted. The unevenness on the ground has become a horrifying layout. They are all graves from long ago. There are so many and they are arranged so densely. There can only be one understanding: this is an ancient battlefield.
⑥I walked forward blankly among the endless graveyards, and Eliot's "The Waste Land" appeared in my mind. This is the wasteland of Chinese history: horse hooves like rain, shouts like thunder, and blood pouring out. The white hair of a loving mother in the Central Plains, the distant gaze of a spring lady in the south of the Yangtze River, and the night cry of a child in Hunan. With a burst of smoke and dust, they all drifted away. I believe that the deceased faced the enemy formation in Shuobei when they were about to die; I believe that they wanted to turn around at the last moment and cast a glance at the familiar land. So, they twisted and fell down, turning into a pile of sand.
⑦There are tree shadows in the distance. I hurried over and saw that there was water flowing under the trees and the sandy ground had slopes. After climbing a slope, I suddenly looked up and saw a deserted mound on the mountain peak not far away. I was convinced intuitively that this was Yangguan. After turning a few corners, we went straight up a sandy slope, climbed to the bottom of the mound, and looked around. There was a monument nearby with the four characters "Yangguan Ancient Site" engraved on it.
⑧This is a commanding point overlooking the surrounding fields. The northwest wind was strong and powerful, blowing directly in my face. I staggered a few steps before I stopped. His feet were still standing, but he could clearly hear the sound of his teeth chattering. The snow here hasn't melted, and of course it won't. There are no traces of the so-called ancient site. Only the nearby beacon tower is still there, which is the mound we just saw. Most of the mound has collapsed, and layers of sand and reeds can be seen. The reeds are floating out and shaking in the cold wind after thousands of years. Right now, the mountains in the northwest are covered with snow, stretching into the sky in layers.
⑨Wang Wei is really kind-hearted to the extreme. Regarding such a Yangguan, his writing still did not show any harshness and horror, but only wrote in a lingering and elegant way: "I advise you to drink another glass of wine, and there will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west." ? This glass of wine, my friend must drink it down in one gulp without hesitation.
⑩This is the style of the Tang Dynasty. Most of them will not shed tears, lament, or insist on dissuading. Their vision is very far, and their life path is very broad. Farewells are frequent and steps are free. This style became even more heroic in Li Bai, Gao Shi, and Cen Shen. Among the ancient statues from all over the north and south, the statues of the Tang Dynasty can be recognized at a glance. Their bodies are so strong, their eyes are so calm, and their expressions are so confident. However, the Tang Dynasty did not extend its artist's self-confidence for a long time. Wang Wei's poems and paintings are both outstanding. However, the palace in Chang'an only opened a narrow side door for artists, allowing them to bow in as humble servants and create a little entertainment. The wind and snow in Yangguan are becoming more and more miserable.
? As a result, Kyushu’s painting style dimmed. In Yangguan, it is no longer difficult to enjoy warm poetry. There are still some scholars who left Yangguan in the west, but most of them became officials and ministers. Even the mound and the stone city cannot withstand the blowing of so many sighs. The sun has collapsed, and it has collapsed in the spiritual territory of a nation. It will eventually become ruins and a wasteland. Behind you, the sand graves are like the tide, and in front of you, the cold peaks are like the waves.
No one can imagine that here, more than a thousand years ago, the magnificence of life and the spread of artistic sentiments were witnessed.
? Go back, it’s getting late. I'm afraid it will snow again.
