Cen Shen’s “Song of White Snow in Farewell to Secretary Wu Going Back to the Capital” stands as one of the most celebrated frontier poems of the Tang Dynasty. It not only depicts the snowy landscapes of the frontier and the poignant emotions of bidding farewell to a friend but also embodies three defining spirits of Tang frontier poetry: the spirit of enduring harshness, the spirit of martial valor, and the spirit of relentless campaigning. These spiritual dimensions, refined and expressed over millennia, find full articulation in the frontier poetic tradition.
