The author of "Ancient Style: Autumn Dew White as Jade" is the poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. The full text of his ancient poem is as follows:
The autumn dew is as white as jade, and the courtyard below is green.
I suddenly saw it when I was walking, and I was sad that the year was approaching.
As soon as a bird looks at a person, it ends naturally.
Jinggong is so stupid, Niu Shan sheds tears one after another.
Unsatisfied with the hardships of things, he wanted to go to Long and look forward to Shu.
The human heart is like a turbulent place, and the road of the world is full of twists and turns.
Thirty-six thousand days, hold the candle every night.

Ai Kong, Everyone in Liangqiu cried. Yanzi laughed alone. The duke brushed his eyes and looked at Yanzi and said, "I am sad to see you today. Both Confucius and Ju are weeping from me. Why are you laughing alone?" Yanzi said to him, "Let the wise men always guard it, and then Taigong and Duke Huan will always be there." Keep it; let the brave men keep it, and Lord Zhuang and Duke Ling will keep it. How can I stand in this position if I fall down? It is unkind to shed tears alone.

Translation
The white dew in autumn condenses the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Although jade is beautiful, the flowers and plants are not. Full of life again. Seeing this scene, I can't help but feel sad. Time is so ruthless. Why should it stop in its hurry? Life is short, like a bird passing by and a white horse passing by, a hundred years pass by. Why should Qi Jinggong be so stupid? : When I climb Niu Mountain to see the beautiful scenery, I don’t know how to appreciate it, but I cry loudly and lament that people have no eternal life. The people are not satisfied and often have to look at Shu, just like the uneven waves and the twists and turns of the mountain road, a wise person must know how to catch it. Live time and enjoy happiness.
Appreciation
This is the twenty-third poem in a series of fifty-nine poems in Li Bai's "Ancient Style". Association: From the dew of autumn, it is associated with the early cold; from the early cold, it is associated with the passage of time; from the passage of time, it is associated with the need to treat life with a carefree attitude - holding a candle every night, weeping in the middle of the Niu Mountain to enlighten the fool. The lack of a broad-minded mind makes the poem's threads linger, and there are twists and turns in the direct flow.
This poem also expresses Li Bai's contradictions. On the one hand, he also knows that life only has a hundred years, so it should be. Enjoy yourself in time; on the one hand, you also practice Taoism and immortality, hoping to live forever. In addition, this poem may also have the meaning of satirizing Tang Xuanzong's excessive monasticism.
