Autumn: "Autumn Poems" Liu Yuxi
Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely,
I say that autumn is better than spring tide.
A crane flies above the clouds in a clear sky,
It brings poetry to the blue sky.

I think autumn is better than spring.
In the clear sky, a crane flew up from the clouds,
It triggered my poetry to reach the blue sky.
Appreciation
"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely."
The first sentence clearly points out that since ancient times, people have lamented the loneliness and desolation of autumn every time it comes. "Since ancient times" and "every time" express the long history of the traditional view of Beiqiu and the stubbornness of the way of thinking.
"I say autumn is better than spring."
"I speak", express one's heart directly and have a clear attitude. "Autumn is better than spring" uses contrasting techniques to enthusiastically praise autumn, saying that autumn is better than the spring when all things sprout and thrive. This is a powerful denial of the sad autumn argument since ancient times.
"In the clear sky, a crane rows on the clouds",
"Pai" means push, here it means to rush. This sentence selects typical things to concretely and vividly outline a magnificent picture. You see, the autumn air is crisp, the sky is clear and blue, and a snow-white crane flies straight up through the clouds. The colors are so gorgeous, the movements are so vigorous, and full of vitality. This picture is a vivid footnote to "Autumn is better than Spring".
"It brings poetry to the blue sky".
This sentence directly expresses his feelings after the previous sentence. Seeing this magnificent situation, the surging poetic sentiment in the author's heart burst out, and soared into the sky like a white crane flying in the sky. The author's optimistic feelings and high fighting spirit can be seen between the lines. If the previous sentence focuses on the "formal beauty" of autumn, then this sentence highlights the "charm" of autumn, making the point of view of "autumn is better than spring" more vivid and powerful.
Winter: Early Plum Blossoms Zhang Wei
A tree with cold plum blossoms and white jade strips,
close to the village road and the creek bridge.
I don’t know that the water flowers bloomed first.
I suspect that they have not been sold after the winter snow.
Appreciation
Since ancient times, poets have written many poems about plum blossoms. Some people praise the grace of plum blossoms, while others praise the charm of plum blossoms. This poem about plum blossoms focuses on the story of "early morning". "Character.
The first sentence not only describes the whiteness of winter plums as jade, but also echoes the word "cold". It describes the beauty of the early plum blossoms blooming alone in the cold. The second sentence writes that the plum blossoms of this tree are far away from the village road where people come and go, and are close to the stream and bridge. The word "Jiong" and the word "Pang" describe the environment of "a tree with cold plum blossoms" blooming alone. This sentence connects the previous and the following and is a necessary transition for the development of the whole poem. The word "Xiqiao" leads to the next sentence. The third sentence says that the reason for the early blooming of cold plums on a tree is that it is "near water"; the fourth sentence responds to the first sentence, and the poet suspects that the cold plums are white snow that has not disappeared after winter. An "I don't know" plus a "suspect" describe the poet's confused and trance state in which the snow looks like snow but not snow.
Finally, when I looked closely, I realized that this was a cold plum blossom that bloomed first near the water. The poet's doubts were eliminated, and the "early" of early plum blossoms was also pointed out
