The lotus flower withered, so did the lotus leaf holding the rain, and only the branches of chrysanthemum stood proudly against the frost.
Good years must be remembered, it is orange.

This poem was given by the poet as a gift to his good friend Liu Jingwen. The first two sentences of the poem describe the scenery, and grasp the "lotus flower exhausted" and "chrysanthemum remnant" to describe the bleak scene in late autumn and early winter. There is a sharp contrast between "nothing" and "still there", which highlights the image of Chrysanthemum Ao Shuang fighting the cold. The last two sentences discuss the scenery and reveal the purpose of giving poems. It shows that although the winter scenery is bleak and cold, it also has fruitful and mature harvest, but it is incomparable in other seasons. The poet wrote this to describe a person's prime of life. Although youth has passed, it is also the golden stage of maturity and great achievements in life. Encourage friends to cherish this wonderful time, be optimistic and make unremitting efforts, and never be depressed and laugh at yourself.
Su Shi's To Liu Jingwen was written in the fifth year of Yuanyou (1090), and Su Shi was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou. "Tiaoxi Fishing Hidden from Conghua" says that this poem sings about the scenery in early winter, "The song is wonderful." Although this poem is written for, it is about the scenery in late autumn, and there is no mention of Liu's moral articles. This does not seem to be the proper meaning in the title, but in fact, the author's genius lies in praising Liu's character and moral integrity. Into the description of the early winter scenery without trace. Because in the author's opinion, the most beautiful scenery in a year is the orange-green early winter scenery. Citrus, like pine and cypress, can best represent people's noble character and loyal moral integrity.
When the ancients wrote about autumn scenery, the weather was mostly gloomy and permeated with the feeling of sad autumn. But there is an abnormal situation here, which writes a rich scene of late autumn, reveals vitality and gives people a feeling of high spirits. Therefore, Hu Zai, a poet in the Song Dynasty, compared it with Han Yu's poem "Early Spring is Zhang Eighteen Members of the Ministry of Water Affairs", saying that "the two poems are different in terms of the same poetry, and the songs are all wonderful" ("Tiaoxi Fishing in Hidden Conghua").
Lotus and chrysanthemum are the objects of chanting by poets of past dynasties, which often leave a good impression on people, but why does this poem describe the images of lotus and chrysanthemum in a highly general way from the beginning, showing a picture of late autumn? This is entirely to emphasize and highlight the best scenes of the year: orange and green. Although orange and orange are neck and neck, in fact, people in the city are inclined to orange, because orange symbolizes many virtues, so Qu Yuan wrote Ode to Orange to praise orange, mainly praising orange's independence, fine white color, selflessness and superiority to Boyi. The conclusion of this poem has this intention. It combines scenery, things and people in one furnace, implicitly praising Liu Jingwen's character and disposition.
