The autumn wind blows, and no one cares about my warmth or cold anymore. I can’t bear to see the rustling yellow leaves and close the window. Let the sunset shine in the independent house and immerse yourself in the memories of the past.
I fell into a deep sleep after being drunk. My wife was afraid of disturbing my sweet dream, so she paced gently; I was gambling in my boudoir, and my clothes were filled with the fragrance of tea. The once beautiful and happy memories seemed to be the most ordinary at the time, but now things have changed.

Let’s take a look at Shangque first:
“Who wants the west wind to be cold alone?” From this first sentence, I have already felt the author’s loneliness. The weather is cold. In previous years, this Sometimes, his wife would care about him, but now his wife is separated from him, and no one cares about his well-being anymore. The foundation of sadness was laid from the beginning.
The "yellow leaves" and "setting sun" at the back are images of autumn depression. The poet is alone, closing the windows, feeling sad in the empty room. These lonely scenes have already appeared in the minds of us readers.
Let’s take a look at the following paragraph:
“Don’t be frightened by wine and fall asleep heavily in spring, gambling on books will make the fragrance of tea splash away.” This is a reminiscence of his wife’s life when he was there. He drank too much and fell into a deep sleep. His wife was afraid of disturbing his sweet dreams, so she moved and spoke softly and did not dare to disturb him. He was missing his wife's meticulousness.
The last sentence describes the pleasure of the couple's elegant life. The couple gambles with tea and points out to each other that something is on a certain page and line of a certain book. It splashed on the floor and filled the room with the fragrance of tea.
These memories are all beautiful, but they no longer exist now, and all the helplessness has turned into a sentence: "It was just ordinary at that time."
Those happy moments when my wife was around were taken for granted at the time, as if everything was as it should be. But when my wife was gone, I realized that we should cherish the happy moments.
After reading this poem, I believe many friends will feel emotional. We should cherish the things we let go of and cherish the happy time with our parents and family. Life is short. If you don’t cherish it, you will have to wait until we are apart. Sometimes you will only regret it.
