What was the background like when the author wrote this work? Only by understanding the creative background can we better appreciate the work:

This poem describes a trip to a distant mountain Travel, its specific creation time is difficult to confirm. The author climbed the mountain to enjoy the scenery in late autumn and was intoxicated by the picturesque scenery, so he wrote this poem to remember it.

Finally, let us appreciate this work together:

This is a seven-character quatrain that describes and praises the scenery of mountains and forests in late autumn. The first sentence: "The stone path on the cold mountain in the distance is slanted." From bottom to top, it writes a stone path winding toward the mountains full of autumn. The word "cold" points out the deep autumn season; the word "yuan" expresses the length of the mountain road; the word "slant" echoes the word "yuan" at the beginning of the sentence, describing the high and gentle mountains. Since the slope is not steep, you can travel around the mountain by car.

"Baiyun was born in a family", writing about clouds and people. The poet looked up along this mountain road. Where the white clouds floated, there were several stone houses and stone walls made of mountain rocks. The "people" here correspond to the "stone path" in the previous sentence, and the "stone path" is the passage up and down the houses. In this way, the two scenery are organically linked together. The white clouds seem to emerge from the mountains and float around. It not only shows the height of the mountains, but also shows that the pale whiteness of the clouds contrasts with the green mountains, creating a bright color. The poet uses the technique of crossing the clouds and breaking the mountains to block the readers' sight, but leaving room for imagination: above the white clouds, there must be mountains outside the clouds, and there must be another kind of scenery.

The poet is only making objective descriptions of these scenery. Although the word "cold" is used, it is only to tease out the word "late" and "frost" below, and does not express the poet's emotional tendency. After all, it is just preparing for the subsequent description - outlining the environment where Maple Forest is located. "Stop, sit, and love Maplewood at night" is different. The tendency is already very clear and strong. The mountain road, white clouds, and people did not move the poet's heart, but the evening view of the maple forest made him unable to suppress his surprise. In order to stop and enjoy the scenery of the mountains and forests, I didn't even bother to drive. The scenery written in the first two sentences is already very beautiful, but what the poet loves is the maple forest. Through the contrast between the front and back, the ground has been laid for the description of the maple forest, and the momentum is sufficient, so it is a matter of course, leading to the fourth sentence, which points out the reason for loving the maple forest.

The fourth sentence: "Frost leaves are as red as February flowers" is the central sentence of the whole poem. The descriptions in the first three sentences are all foreshadowing and setting off this sentence. Why does the poet use "hongyu" instead of "hongru"? Because "red as" is just like spring flowers, it only decorates the natural beauty; while "red as" is incomparable to spring flowers. It is not only more colorful, but also more cold-resistant and can withstand the test of wind and frost.

This little poem is not only an impromptu chant of scenery, but also a chant of objects and aspirations. It is the expression of the poet's inner spiritual world and the sustenance of his aspirations and interests, so it can enlighten and encourage readers.
