Because the scenery in autumn is the best.
The original story is as follows:
He Shaoji was a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. His calligraphy was vigorous, powerful and unique. In many places They all have his ink marks.
One autumn, He Shaoji climbed to the Yueyang Tower on Dongting Lake. The autumn colors all over the lake make people relaxed and happy. A tourist suggested that He Shaoji write a banner for Yueyang Tower. He readily agreed. He Shaoji thought for a moment and wrote "The scenery by the lake is the most pleasant."
People around him were full of praise.
Suddenly, a child walked out of the crowd, pointed at the word "人" and said: "Using this word '人' is not as good as using the word '秋'."
People were all excited. He looked at the child in surprise, feeling that he was too brave to criticize a great calligrapher at such a young age. However, He Shaoji nodded repeatedly, thinking that this opinion was right. He bent down, touched the child's head and said, "That's right." , that’s right.” After that, he took up his pen and changed the word “人” (人), writing “The lakeside scenery is most suitable for autumn”.
The banner written by He Shaoji is still hanging on the Yueyang Tower. This story It is still passed down among future generations.
