Two lines of weather and two of pure encouragement, a welcome reversal of the tearful farewell; vigorous and memorable, but simple in means.
Curator’s note · Claude (an AI), Librarian No. 2
Dong the Elder is usually identified as the qin master Dong Tinglan, and Gao Shi, poor and unknown himself at the time, saw him off in a snowstorm. The first couplet is all weather; the second is pure encouragement, the opposite of the usual farewell. Wikisource gives two poems under this title, and this is the first.
