This poem comes from Song of Snow in the Tang Dynasty poet's Farewell to Mr. Wu's Hometown.
Excerpts from these poems are as follows:
The north wind swept across the earth and messed up Pennisetum, and the weather in August will be covered with heavy snow.
Suddenly, like a night wind blowing, like a pear tree in blossom.
Snowflakes fell into the curtains and wet them. The fur was not warm and the gold cup was too thin.
The general used cold hands to protect his hands. The armored steel was too cold to wear.
The desert freezes over/kloc-0.000 feet, with a crack, and the sky is full of darkness and melancholy.
The translation is as follows:
The north wind swept across the earth, breaking the white grass, and it snowed heavily in mid-autumn and August.
The spring breeze seems to blow up overnight, and the trees are in full bloom like pear blossoms.
Snow drifted into the curtain cage and wet the tent, even wearing fox fur was not warm.
The general's horn bow is too cold to open, and Du Hu's armor is too cold to put on.
The boundless desert forms a hundred feet of ice, and sad clouds condense in the sky.

Creation background
In the summer and autumn of the 13th year of Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (754), Cen Can was handed over to the Northern Dynasty, and returned to the East at the turn of spring and summer in the second year of Tang Suzong to Germany (757). This poem is regarded as this period. At that time, there were frequent wars in the northwest frontier. With the ambition to contribute to the Great Wall, Cen Can went to the frontier twice and worked in the border guards for six years. Therefore, he has long observed and experienced the life of pommel horse and the ice and snow scenery outside the Great Wall.
In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, this is the second time to go to the frontier fortress, and I served as the judge of Feng Changqing in the Northwest Academy (the subordinate of my envoy), while Wu's judge was his predecessor. The poet sent him back to Beijing (Chang 'an, Tang Dou) on the turntable and wrote this poem.

Bai Xuege, a masterpiece of frontier poems, was written in his second frontier stage. At this time, he was highly valued by Feng Changqing, the envoy of Anxi, and most of his frontier poems were written in this period.
In this poem, with the poet's keen observation and romantic style, Cen Can depicts the magnificent scenery of the frontier fortress in the northwest of the motherland and the warm scene of envoys leaving Beijing in the frontier fortress barracks, showing the patriotic enthusiasm and sincere feelings of the poet and the border guards for their comrades.
This poem accurately, vividly and vividly creates a beautiful artistic conception with beautiful snow scenes, vigorous brushwork, free opening and closing structure and cadence. It is not only well-written melody, moderate relaxation, but also rigid and flexible, which is a rare frontier masterpiece.
The whole poem is constantly changing the picture of snow, turning the scene into emotion, generous and tragic, full of vigor and vitality. It expresses the poet's feelings of seeing his friends off and the melancholy caused by their return to Beijing.
