Seven-character quatrains describing heavy snow and solar terms

The poem describing the heavy snow and solar terms has a seven-character quatrain:

while winter daylight shortens in the elemental scale, the world is frosty and snowy. The elm willow and the brook are idle, and the snow in Songshan Mountain can be seen directly in the moonlight. There are still oranges in the residual snow, and the frozen thunder scares the bamboo shoots to sprout. Outside the snow disappears, Qian Shan is green, and the flowers are sunny on the riverside in February.
