Some people say that Mountain Walk is a painting, and the scenery that can be painted is as follows:
Mountain Walk is a seven-character quatrain written by the poet Du Mu that describes and praises the scenery of mountains and forests in late autumn. This poem depicts the colors of autumn, showing a moving picture of autumn colors in mountains and forests. Mountain roads, people, white clouds, and red leaves form a harmonious and unified picture.
Tang Du Mu, who is walking in the mountains, is far up the Hanshan Mountain. The stone path is sloping, and there are people living in the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost. Vernacular translation: In late autumn, I was walking along the winding mountain road in the mountains. I could vaguely see several families in the cloud-shrouded place. I couldn't help but pull over because the beautiful scenery of the maple forest in the evening really attracted me. The frost-beaten maple leaves were redder than the flowers in February.
The poem uses the poet's emotional tendency and uses the maple forest as the main scene to draw a warm and gorgeous autumn color picture of the mountain forest. The stone path leading up to Qiu Mountain in the distance first gives readers a distant view. The top of the mountain road is a place shrouded in white clouds. The road is made by people, so the white clouds are lingering but not ethereal. The cold mountains contain vitality. The phrase "where the white clouds are born, there are people" becomes a natural thing.
However, this is just building momentum for the next two sentences. Next, the poet clearly tells the reader that it is so late and I am still parking in front of the mountain just because the mountain in front of me is in full swing, which is better than the maple leaves of spring flowers. . Compared with the white clouds in the distance and the houses that may not be visible, the maple forest is full of the pure beauty and vitality of life.
