"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 up on the clouds",
"Pai" means push, here it means to rush. This sentence selects typical things to concretely and vividly outline a magnificent picture.

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".

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.

to communicate all my thoughts to my relatives. The messenger was about to leave, so I opened the sealed envelope again and quickly added a few more words, saying that I had endless thoughts, but I was in a hurry.
4. When the moon sets, accompanied by the crows of a few crows, you look up at the sky, which is like a thin layer of autumn frost, and then look at Jiangcun Bridge and Maple Bridge, with little fishing fires. I am left alone to sleep with my sorrow. The bells ringing at the Hanshan Ancient Temple outside Gusu City in the middle of the night reached the passenger ship I was traveling on.
5. After a new rain, the green mountains are particularly clear, and the weather is exceptionally cool in the autumn evening. The bright moon casts mottled shadows through the pine forest, and clear spring water flows tinkling on the rocks. From the bamboo forest came the chatter and laughter of the washerwomen returning home, the lotus leaves swayed, and the fishermen put away their fishing nets and rowed their boats back down the river through the lotus pond. Let the fragrance of spring disappear at any time, wanderers can linger in the autumn colors

8. Xuancheng, this city surrounded by rivers, seems to be located in a wonderful painting. It's almost night in the mountains. Climb up the stairs and look into the distance. The clear sky is high and the scenery is so refreshing and pleasant. The water in the two rivers is extremely clear, as clear as a mirror, and flows between the city. Two bridges lie across the stream, like rainbows flying down. The evening meal was steaming, and the oranges and pomeloes were deep and green, as if they were enveloped by the chill of late autumn.
