Author: Meng Jiao? (Tang Dynasty)
In the past, it is not enough to boast about being dirty, but now there is no limit to the dissolute thoughts.
The spring breeze brings joy to the horse's hoof disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

"Tianjingsha·Autumn Thoughts" is a small order composed by Yuan opera writer Ma Zhiyuan. It is a famous Sanqu work.
This song juxtaposes a variety of scenes to form a picture of an autumn suburban sunset, in which a wanderer from the end of the world rides a skinny horse on a desolate background, revealing a sad mood. It expresses the sorrow and sorrow of a wanderer who misses his hometown in autumn and is tired of wandering. The syntax of this Xiaoling is unique. The first three sentences are all composed of noun phrases. Nine kinds of scenery are listed in one sentence. The words are simple but full of meaning. The whole song has only five sentences and twenty-eight characters. The language is extremely concise but the capacity is huge. The meaning is far-reaching, the structure is exquisite, and the rhythm is coherent. It is praised by later generations as the "ancestor of Qiu Si".
