Origin: Two Odes to Autumn is a set of poems by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Original text:
Since ancient times, I feel sad and lonely every autumn. I think autumn is more than spring.
There is no one in the clear sky in Wan Li, and a crane, Ling Yunfei, has aroused my meditation on the blue sky.
Since ancient times, poets and poets have lamented the depression, desolation and emptiness of autumn. I say autumn is far better than spring. It's crisp in autumn and clear in Wan Li. A crane soaring in the sky, pushing away the stratus clouds, also inspired my poems to fly to the clear sky in Wan Li.
Extended data
"Autumn has been sad since ancient times", the poet began with a discussion, categorically denying the previous concept of autumn sadness, showing a strong upward poetry. The first sentence clearly pointed out that since ancient times, whenever autumn is mentioned, people will lament the loneliness and desolation of autumn.
"Since ancient times" and "whenever", the traditional view of mourning for autumn has a long history, and the thinking mode is stubborn. The next sentence uses "I speak" to express my mind directly, with a clear attitude and the poet's confidence. Although this self-confidence is infected with an unfortunate color, the poet's broad mind has particularly resolved this misfortune.
"Autumn is better than the spring dynasty", which praises autumn warmly, saying that autumn is better than the spring when everything is budding and thriving. This is a powerful denial of the sad autumn argument since ancient times.
The third sentence chooses typical things and vividly outlines a magnificent picture. The poet grasped the unique landscape of "crane flying in the sky" in autumn, and showed the open scene of crisp autumn, clear skies in Wan Li and white clouds fluttering. The crane in Lingyun, also carrying the poet's poems, swam to the sky together.
Although this crane is lonely, its momentum is extraordinary. The meaning of a word "beat" is self-evident.
Perhaps, the poet uses "crane" as a metaphor, or perhaps, the poet regards "crane" as an unyielding embodiment. There is philosophical implication, artistic charm, thought-provoking and memorable. This picture is a vivid footnote of "autumn wins spring"
The fourth sentence expresses your feelings directly after the last sentence. Seeing this magnificent situation, the author's heart is full of surging poetry, just like a crane flying in the sky. Between the lines, the author's optimism and high morale are vividly portrayed. If the above sentence focuses on the "formal beauty" of autumn, then this sentence highlights the "charm" of autumn and makes the view that "autumn is better than spring" more vivid and powerful.
