The poet saw that the vitality of autumn like spring made the mountains and forests in autumn present a warm and vibrant scene. The poet did not sigh sadly when autumn arrived like ordinary feudal literati. What he praised was the beauty of nature's autumn colors, which reflected a bold and upward spirit. Talent also reflects the poet's insight. This is a hymn to autumn colors.
Original poem:
"Mountain Journey" Tang Dynasty: Du Mu
Far up the cold mountain, the stone path is sloping, and there is a home deep in the white clouds. (Depths, Part 1: The Place of Life)
I parked my car and sat in the maple forest at night, the leaves were as red as the flowers in February due to frost.
Interpretation:
Going up the mountain along the winding path, deep in the white clouds, there are still people.
I stopped the car because I loved the evening view of the maple forest in late autumn. The maple leaves have been stained by autumn frost and are more beautiful than the spring flowers in February.
Extended information:
Through the poet's emotional tendency, the poem 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.
