There are only a few red leaves left in one or two pear trees that have not been destroyed by wind and frost in front of the door, and the feeling of loneliness and desolation in autumn fills my door.
The poet lamented that there were too many distractions in his heart to let go, so it was better for the tree in late autumn to unload a burden and keep it bright and clean.

Make an appreciative comment
For later literati, Tang poetry is an insurmountable mountain. So in the Song Dynasty, many poets began to devote themselves to reform, hoping to find new forms of expression. Poetry in this period also has profound philosophic nature, which is also a major feature of Song poetry. Scholars in the Song Dynasty were still clever. They know that if they want to surpass Tang poetry, if they follow the writing style of Tang poetry, they will never be able to compete with it, so they will find another way and integrate into philosophy.
The philosophy of Song poetry is relatively successful, although some people have put forward different views that Song poetry is too philosophical and makes poetry spiritual. In fact, this is everyone's different understanding, and their views on things are naturally different. It should be said that there are still many good works in the whole Song Dynasty, which are also very philosophical. For us ordinary readers, as long as we can understand a thing or two from it and truly understand the essence of poetry,
In my opinion, this "Autumn Tour" by Ji Xu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, is a rare masterpiece, and it also writes new ideas. Moreover, superb techniques of expression, exaggeration and metaphor are also a major feature of this poem. There are many fresh words that describe the original ordinary scenery in a poetic way, thus making this poem have a different aesthetic feeling and catchy to read.
In fact, this poem has the artistic conception of Du Mu's poem "Mountain Walking", which not only writes new ideas, but also has a unique beauty. Therefore, this poem is still close to Tang poetry, with picturesque sentences. Such works are also rare in the whole Song Dynasty. The poet does not highlight philosophy, but rather an emotional rendering and a delicate description of things around him. In fact, there is nothing unique, just ordinary scenery, but the poet writes very delicately, which also gives the whole poem a unique beauty and picturesque sentences.

Ji Xu (1162 ~1214), also known as Yuan Wen, was born in Songtaili, Yongjia, Zhejiang. His ancestral home is Xuzhuangyuan Lane, Anhai, Jinjiang, Fujian, and he is a descendant of Xu Hui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty. Chaozhou Taishouding Imperial Examination began in Yongjia, Wenzhou. The third son Xu Ding from Jinjiang, Fujian, was named "Shi Zhi En" by his father. He lives in floating counties, is honest and upright for officials, abides by the law, and has done useful things for the people. "Poetry and Zhao Xuru are on the same axis, but two talents are especially similar" (Ji Yun, Catalogue of Sikuquanshu) has Poems of Erjiting. I also like calligraphy, "no food to paper and pen;" The following year, the book was slightly closer to Lanting (Ye Shi's Epitaph of Xu) and later changed to Changtai Ling. He died before he reached the official position.
