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.

Dynasty: Tang Dynasty
Two Autumn Poems is a set of poems by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The value of the two poems lies in the poet's unique feelings about autumn and autumn colors. Contrary to the tradition of mourning for autumn in the past, they praised the beauty of autumn and used the description of the yellow crane to express the author's lofty sentiments and open-minded optimism.
Another song is:
The mountains and rivers are clear and frosty at night, and several trees are deep red and light yellow.
Trying to get under a tall building is as crazy as spring.
These are two impromptu poems expressing opinions. Poets express profound thoughts through distinctive artistic images, which have both philosophical implications and artistic charm, making people think deeply and enduring. Liu Yuxi's two autumn poems not only show the vitality and plain color of autumn, but also have the heroism and noble sentiment of fighting for the ideal, which has won profound aesthetic feeling and interest.
The vernacular translation of these two songs is as follows:
one
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.
Secondly,
Autumn has come, with beautiful scenery and first frost at night; The leaves turn from green to yellow, but some of them turn red, which is particularly conspicuous in light yellow;
Climb a tall building and look around in the clear autumn; It won't drive people crazy like spring.
Background creation:
This poem was written when the poet was demoted to Sima in Langzhou. In 805 AD (Yongzhenyuan), Shunzong ascended the throne and appointed Wang to reform the state affairs. Liu Yuxi also participated in this innovation movement. However, this innovation was strongly opposed by eunuchs, buffer regions and bureaucratic forces and ended in failure. Shunzong was forced to abdicate, Wang died and Liu Yuxi was demoted. What is commendable is that the poet did not feel depressed after suffering a serious blow. Liu Yuxi was thirty-four years old when he was demoted to Langzhou (Changde, Hunan). I was proud of the spring breeze, but I was kicked out of court. My distress can be imagined. However, he has a strong psychology of seeking differences. He wants to be different in everything and refuses to follow suit. Two autumn poems were written in this mood when Langzhou was relegated.
