From: "Walking out of the Summer Gate for Winter in October" Cao Cao [Han Dynasty]
In October, the north wind haunts,
It's sunny with frost.
Yao Ji sings in the morning, Hongyan flies south,
Storks lurk and bears live in caves.
Qian Qi stop, agricultural harvest farm,
Set the whole journey and connect with the merchants.
Fortunately, even! Sing with ambition.
In early winter and October, the north wind roared, the atmosphere was cold, the weather was cold, and the frost was thick and dense. In the morning, harriers and birds are singing, geese are flying south, raptors are hiding, and even bears are sleeping in their caves. Farmers put down their farm tools and stopped working, and the harvested crops filled the grain fields. The hotel is being arranged to accommodate traveling businessmen. How lucky I am to be here, reciting poems to express my feelings.
Make an appreciative comment
This poem was written in October of the lunar calendar (that is, around November)
The first eight sentences are about the climate and scenery in early winter. "Yao Ji", the name of a bird, is shaped like a crane with yellow and white feathers. The north wind keeps blowing, the frost is thick and dense, pheasants are singing in the morning, geese are flying in the south, raptors are hiding in hiding, bears are sleeping in caves, and the cold reveals peace and tranquility. Write personnel in four sentences. Money and shovel are the names of two kinds of farm tools, which generally refer to farm tools here. Anti-Travel, Inn. Agricultural tools have been idle, harvested crops are full of grain fields, and hotels are being arranged to provide accommodation for businessmen coming and going. What a wonderful picture!
This poem reflects the life of people in some post-war areas and the poet's ideal of national unity, political stability and economic prosperity.
