The maple forest is a fiery red scene in autumn, and is often used by poets as the subject and object of their poems. There are many ancient Chinese poems about maple leaves in autumn. You can refer to the following poems:
1.
Qilu·Eight Autumn Songs
Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
The jade dew withered the maple forest, and the Wushan Gorge was desolate. .
The waves in the river and the sky are rising, blocking the wind and clouds and grounding the clouds.
The chrysanthemums in bloom will shed tears in the future, and the lonely boat will be connected to the heart of the hometown.
Han Yi is urging the sword and ruler everywhere, and Baidi City is high and anxious at dusk.
2.
Qijue·Fengqiao Night Mooring
Tang Dynasty·Zhang Ji
The moon is setting, crows are crying, the sky is full of frost, and the rivers are full of maples and fishing fires To worry about sleep.
At Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rang at midnight to reach the passenger ship.
3.
"Mountain Travel"
Du Mu, Tang Dynasty
Far up the cold mountain, the stone path is slanted, and there are people living deep in the white clouds.
I park my car and sit in the maple forest at night, the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost.
Appreciation:
This is a seven-character quatrain that describes and praises the scenery of mountains and forests in late autumn.
The first sentence, "The stone path on the cold mountain in the distance is slanted", writes from bottom to top, a stone path winding towards the mountains full of autumn. The word "cold" points out the late autumn season; the word "yuan" expresses the length of the mountain road; the word "slant" echoes the word "yuan" at the beginning of the sentence, describing the high and gentle mountain terrain. Since the slope is not steep, you can travel around the mountain by car. "Frost leaves are as red as February flowers", this is the central sentence of the whole poem. The descriptions in the first three sentences are all foreshadowing and setting off this sentence. Why does the poet use "hongyu" instead of "hongru"? Because "red as" is just like spring flowers, it only decorates the natural beauty; while "red as" is incomparable to spring flowers. It is not only more colorful, but also more cold-resistant and can withstand the test of wind and frost.
