A sunset is sprinkled in the water, half river rustling and half river red, which comes from the poem "Ode to Mujiang" by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The sunset in the poem refers to the sunset, and the spread of water shows that the afterglow of the sunset spilled on the river and stained the river with colors. This color is unique to autumn, on the one hand, because the sky in autumn is often exceptionally high and clear, on the other hand, because the water surface in autumn is often exceptionally clear and quiet.
Half river rustling and half river red is a detailed description of the previous sentence. Half river refers to the half of the river, which is green and clear, and half river red describes the setting sun shining on the river, making the river appear red. This red-green interweaving is a unique scene in autumn, on the one hand, because the leaves in autumn gradually change color, on the other hand, because the sunshine in autumn is particularly bright, which can make these colors more vivid.
This poem depicts the afterglow of autumn sunset sprinkled on the river, and the river presents a mixture of green and red. This scene is unique to autumn, which makes people feel the tranquility, beauty and warmth of autumn. At the same time, this poem also expresses the poet's love for nature and longing for a better life.
