瑞雪兆丰年（9）

A snow year, a rich year.

It's snowing like frost.

凛如霜雪

As clean as ice and as pure as jade.

冰清玉粹

The hardest life of a widow

饮冰吞檗

Songs that appeal to the highbrows only.

阳春白雪

It is difficult to coordinate with all the people because of their high and solitary elegance.

白雪难和

Singing Snow

《咏雪》

Zhang Dǎyóu (Tang Dynasty)

张打油 (唐)

Whole rivers and mountains are all snowy everywhere,

江山一笼统，

Only there was a hole in the wellhead.

井口一窟窿。

The yellow dog was white,

黄狗身上白，

The white dog is swollen.

白狗身上肿。
