Yu Jia Ao·Autumn Thoughts
[Author] Fan Zhongyan ? [Dynasty] Song Dynasty
The scenery in autumn is unique under the fortress. The geese left Hengyang without paying attention. Sounds echoed from all sides. Thousands of miles. The long smoke sets and the lone city closes.
A glass of wine can make a difference. Yan Ran has no plan to return. The Qiang pipes are covered with frost, people can't sleep, and the general's hair is white and his husband is in tears.

The scenery on the border is completely different when autumn comes, flying towards Hengyang The flock of geese left showed no nostalgia. The mournful sounds from the borderlands came from all directions as the trumpets sounded. In the overlapping mountain peaks, the long smoke goes straight up and the setting sun shines slantingly on the lonely city.
Drinking a glass of old wine and remembering my hometown thousands of miles away, but Yanran has not yet engraved Pinghu's achievements, and his return is unpredictable. The Qiang people's flutes played melodiously, and frost covered the earth. The soldiers could not sleep, the generals' hair turned gray, and the soldiers shed tears.
