So many poets in ancient and modern times were moved. They write about autumn and maple leaves, praising that the thicker the frost, the redder the flowers in February. Look at the red leaves of Xiangshan and the layers of Yuelu Mountain. It's not spring, it's spring
Poets stand on the top of high mountains and linger on the banks of great rivers, or express their feelings directly or through red leaves. In short, it is this affectionate red leaf that gives them inspiration and impulse, which makes them miss and look forward to it.
Here are three short poems selected from many poems, which can't be shorter. Let's appreciate the exquisiteness of five-character quatrains from the short and pithy, and appreciate the charm of sending acacia by red leaves since ancient times.
Yuan Xiang keeps flowing, why does Qu Zi complain?
Autumn wind rises at dusk, and maple trees whisper.
This poem is Dai Shulun's Crossing San Lv Temple. San Lv Temple is a temple dedicated to Qu Yuan, a doctor in San Lv. Dai Shulun wrote it when he passed Miluo, Hunan Province and paid his respects to Qu Yuan.
Shui Yuan and Xiangshui are two big rivers flowing through here. They are mighty and flow eastward all the year round. But their endless flow can't stop the resentment of San Lv doctor Qu Yuan.
Because qu yuan's grievances are too deep. He saw that a powerful Chu state was about to be destroyed by future generations. He "doubted his loyalty and slandered his beliefs". Not only was his correct opinion not adopted, but he was repeatedly demoted and finally exiled to Jiangtan.
Qu yuan is getting haggard every day, remembering that his Chu state is about to fall. He was ashamed of his elders, so he sang on the river bank and died in Miluo. Jiang Tao, who Dai Shulun wrote endlessly, also pinned his homesickness.
The last two sentences of the poem, "Autumn wind rises at dusk, rustling maple trees", are to write about the bleak autumn wind and the falling of maple leaves. Qu Yuan is gone, but these maple forests are still there, and the fallen leaves seem to be telling the sorrow of the ages.
The sorrow of the Yangtze River has stagnated, and Wan Li's thoughts will return.
The night is high and windy, and the mountains fly.
This is a poem by Wang Bo in the mountains. Wang Bo is a gifted scholar, but he was ousted for writing "The Duckfighting Fu" in Pei. This poem was written after he was expelled from Wang Fu and stayed in Sichuan for a long time.
Sichuan is thousands of miles away from Chang 'an, the capital of China. The poet wanted to go back to Chang 'an, but it was impossible. Therefore, he was very sad, saying that all great rivers have a sense of sadness, and the mighty river seems to have solidified and can't flow.
What's more, at this time, the autumn wind is bleak, the maple leaves are flying, and the endless falling wood adds to the homesickness of the wanderer. The dancing of mountains, mountains and yellow leaves here seems to be pure landscape writing, but in fact it is based on the scenery to express a kind of pain of leaving people.
The red leaves have been frosted for a long time, but they still love the old branches.
Open the window to listen to birds, and lower your head to pick up new poems.
Guo Moruo, a modern poet, also has a very good poem about red leaves, which is called Scenery of Hakone-CHO. Like Lu Xun, Guo Moruo studied in Japan as a teenager. He stayed in Japan for 20 years and returned to China during his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937.
This is a poem of red leaves written by him 1955 when he led a delegation to visit Japan. Hakone-CHO is a town in the south of Honshu with beautiful scenery. In autumn and winter, maple leaves are eroded by wind and frost and still refuse to leave the branches.
The poet uses metaphor synaesthesia to describe Hongfeng's refusal to drift as nostalgia for her hometown, endowing Hongye with human thoughts and feelings, and actually expressing her homesickness.
Open the window, the forest is completely dyed, and birds are chirping happily among the maple leaves. How charming the autumn scenery is. Faced with such a Qiu Guang, the literati may have a creative impulse, and the poet will also stimulate creative inspiration.
Guo Moruo wrote this poem with such passion. In fact, Guo Moruo is a very rich poet. He not only writes metrical poems, but also has many new poems. His collection of poems Goddess and Stars once infected many people.
The above three poems on red leaves are all five-character quatrains, and the most familiar poem on red leaves may be Du Mu's seven-character quatrain "Mountain Walk". Among them, "Stop and sit in the maple forest late, the frost leaves are red in February" is read the most, and writing Hongfeng and Qiu Guang has become a famous sentence through the ages.
