Anyone who has been to Xiangshan in Beijing will be moved by the red leaves all over the mountain. Every autumn, maple trees and flaming maple leaves all over the mountain present a scene of flaming competition. Especially at night, the sunset glow is shining and the maple leaves are full of vitality, which reminds people of Comrade Mao Zedong's beautiful poem "See all the mountains, all the forests are dyed, and the mountains are blue and transparent", giving people the excitement of "The sunset glow is red and the mountains are bright".
Maple leaf is a praise for the golden autumn season and a symbol of life in the sunset, which was praised by the ancients. Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "Besides Hanshan, there are people in Bai Yunsheng. Stop and sit in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February. " The poem is beautiful in writing and lofty in artistic conception, depicting a magnificent maple leaf scene, expressing the poet's optimism and open-mindedness about autumn and Gao Huai's ease, and cherishing the golden age of autumn.
However, in the face of autumn wind and autumn rain, some people are sad, lamenting that life is short and the years are ruthless, which makes them feel "autumn scenery, going to the west and entering the city." Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times. I say autumn is not as good as spring." When a crane flies among clouds in a clear sky, it brings poetry to Bixiao. "This heroic and optimistic temperament fully demonstrates the open-minded attitude of the ancients and is worthy of admiration by future generations.
"Frost leaves are redder than February flowers" not only expresses the more charming charm of Qiu Feng red leaves than February spring flowers, but also is a vivid metaphor for the autumn of life. Daisaku Ikeda, a Japanese philosopher, said: "Young people are the beauty of spring, while old people can make the human body taste mature and frank in autumn." Therefore, in the autumn of life, it is a different kind of amorous feelings, full of charm, to compose poems and entrust lofty sentiments.
Season after season, joy follows joy, and the spring breeze in autumn is leisurely. Let's cherish life with lofty sentiments, and let the afterglow of the sunset, like a brilliant maple leaf, surpass the spring flowers in February and bloom more brilliantly!
