The sentence "Jiangjian" describes the huge waves on the river, and the sentence "Shangshang" means that the wind and clouds on the pass connect to the earth, and the surrounding area is gloomy. The natural phenomenon described in these two sentences is a symbol of social unrest and the feeling that there is no way out.

A lonely boat is tightly tied to my heart of returning to my hometown. These two sentences express the sorrow of being stranded and the longing for hometown.

It is the prelude to the whole poem, and it always writes about the sounds of autumn in Wushan and Wu Gorge.

1. Image analysis of "Eight Poems of Autumn, Part 1"
Start with a straightforward description of the scenery, highlighting the place and time. "Yulu" means white dew. In autumn, when the vegetation falls, the white dew turns into frost. "Wu. Mountain Wu Gorge" is where the poet is. The lower part of the second sentence is densely packed with words, and the words "wither" and "despair" are used to give the artistic conception a sense of decline and a gloomy atmosphere, which sets the emotional tone of the whole poem.
Then use a couplet to unfold the tragic scene of "Qi Xiaosen". "Jiangjian" connects to "Wu Gorge", and "Fortress" connects to "Wushan". The waves are on the ground and rise in the sky, and the wind and clouds are in the sky and cloudy on the ground. You can see the wind, clouds and waves between the whole sky and the earth, which is extremely gloomy and desolate. The Yangtze River is rolling in thousands of miles, with turbulent waves and earth-shaking, which is the real scene in front of you; "Wind and Cloud on the Block" not only describes the scenery but also expresses current events. At that time, the Tibetans invaded, the borders were tight, and there were dark clouds of war everywhere, which were both true and false. The description of the scenery in this couplet vividly expresses the turbulent and uncertain situation of the poet and the current situation, as well as the ups and downs of worry and resentment in the author's chest. It includes the late autumn in the canyon, personal life experience, and the loss of the country. It is magnificent and deeply sad.
The neck couplet shifts from continuing to describe the scenery to directly expressing emotions, that is, the autumn scenery touches the feelings of traveling. Cross-connected with the previous two sentences, "Cong Ju" inherits the sentence "Sai Shang", and "Gu Zhou" inherits the sentence "Jiang Jian". "Other days" refers to the past, last autumn in Yun'an, and this year in Kuizhou, both of which were against the chrysanthemums, so the saying "two blooms of chrysanthemums", "the other day's tears", "the next day when the chrysanthemums bloomed twice", indicates that last year I shed tears for the chrysanthemums. This year I shed tears over the chrysanthemums again. The word "open" is actually a double entendre. It means that the chrysanthemums bloomed twice and shed tears twice. When I see the chrysanthemums, I shed tears. It was like this last year and it is like this again this year. It shows the mood of the detention in Kuizhou. Sad. "Hometown Heart" actually means missing Chang'an. The word "tie" is also a pun: the lonely boat is moored, and the boat is tied to the shore; thinking about Chang'an is tied to the hometown. After two years of hard work from Yun'an to Kuizhou, I couldn't help but see the chrysanthemums blooming again, and I couldn't help but shed tears again, always thinking about my hometown. A poem by the poet "Keshe" also says: "Nanju meets someone lying ill again", and "Nine Days" also says: "The boat is tied to the body for thousands of miles", both of which can be read here. The writing here is profound, implicit and thought-provoking. I am in Kuizhou, and my heart is close to my hometown. This is the next seven chapters.
The last couplet describes the sound of autumn in the passage of time. The west wind is brisk, and the weather is even more bleak and cold in the evening, which means winter is coming. People are rushing to put on cold clothes. On the high towers of Baidi City, there is a rapid sound of anvils in the evening wind. Baidi City is in the east and Kuizhou Prefecture is in the west. The poet was in Kuizhou and heard the sound of anvils and pestles coming from Baidi City. The sound of anvil and pestle is the sound of women pounding their clothes when they are making cotton-padded clothes. The anvil is the stone used to pound clothes. The last two sentences of this poem tie the whole poem together, returning to the scenery. The time sequence is pushed from daytime to dusk. The feelings of the travelers on the road are even more difficult, so they can have children and parents. Next, the story of the lonely city of Kuizhou continues.
Qian's note on Du's poems says: "With festivals, autumn comes, with land, a high city, with time, dusk. The blade is bitterly cold, and the anvil rushes to say goodbye. The last sentence marks the meeting, which is slightly five-fold. The so-called rugged and bleak, really can't be done. "
