Stop and sit and watch the maple leaves late, and the frosty leaves are red in February.

It should be "stop and sit in the maple grove late, and the frost leaves are redder than the February flowers." I stopped the carriage because I like the late autumn scenery of maple forest. The bright red of maple leaves after frosting is better than that of February spring flowers.

The winding stone path stretches far to the top of the mountain in late autumn, and there are several families in the place where the white clouds rise.

Appreciation of poetry:

The tendency of "parking and sitting in the maple grove late" has been very clear and strong. The mountain road, white clouds and other people didn't move the poet, but the late scenery of the maple forest made his surprise hard to restrain. In order to stop and enjoy the scenery of this mountain forest, I didn't care to drive on. The scenery written in the first two sentences is already beautiful, but the poet loves the maple forest.

"Frosty leaves are redder than flowers in February" complements the third sentence, and a beautiful scenery of maple forest in late autumn is shown in detail. The poet was pleasantly surprised to find that under the evening glow, the maple leaves were dripping and the layers of forests were dyed. It was really full of mountains and clouds, such as bright rosy clouds, which were more fiery and gorgeous than the spring flowers in February in the south of the Yangtze River.
