From: 16th century, 楊慎,《升菴外集》, the poem recorded here is apocryphal, while the name of the man may be sheer fabrication, too

Tángrén yǒu Zhāng Dǎyóu, zuò “Xuě Shī” yún:
“jiāngshān yī lóngtǒng, jǐngshàng hēi kūlong. Huáng gǒu shēnshàng bái, bái gǒu shēnshàng zhǒng.” [Pinyin]

In the Tang dynasty, a man named Zhang Dayou composed a Poem on Snow:
The rivers and hills—one hazy blur;
A black hole gapes above the well.
The yellow dog has turned white, and
The white dog's swollen—hard to tell!
