Travel in the mountains
Tang Dynasty: Du Mu
In the distance, there are cold mountains, oblique stone paths and people in the depths of white clouds.
Stop and sit in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February flowers.
Translation:
Going up the mountain along the winding path, there are people deep in the white clouds.
I stopped the car because I like the late autumn scenery in Fenglin. Maple leaves are stained with autumn frost, which is brighter than spring flowers in February.

Creative background:
This poem describes a trip to a distant mountain, and the specific creation time is difficult to confirm. The author climbed the mountain in late autumn to enjoy the scenery and was intoxicated by this picturesque scenery, so he wrote this poem to commemorate it.
Appreciate:
Through Du Mu's emotional tendency, the poem draws a warm and gorgeous autumn color picture of the mountain forest with maple forest as the main scene. Far up the Qiushan Stone Trail, first of all, give readers a farsighted view. At the top of the mountain road is a place full of white clouds.
The road is made by people, so white clouds are not illusory, and Hanshan is full of vitality. It is natural to say that there are people in Bai Yunsheng. However, this is only to prepare for the last two sentences. Then Du Mu clearly told readers that it was so late, and I was still parking in front of the mountain.
Just because this mountain is in full swing, it is better than the maple leaves of spring flowers. Compared with the white clouds in the distance and people who are not necessarily visible, LAM Raymond is full of pure beauty and vitality of life, which makes people ecstatic and uninhibited.
This poem depicts the colors of autumn and shows a touching autumn color map of mountains and forests. The poem describes mountain roads, people, white clouds and red leaves, forming a harmonious and unified picture. These scenes are not side by side in the same place, but are organically linked.
There are masters and followers, some in the center of the picture and some in the foil position. To put it simply, the first three sentences are the object, the fourth sentence is the subject, and the first three sentences describe the background, which creates an atmosphere for the fourth sentence and plays a role in paving the way and setting off the background.
The scenery written in the first two sentences of "hiking" is already beautiful, but the poet loves the maple forest. Through the background, I have made a good preparation for describing the maple forest, so it comes naturally and leads to the fourth sentence, pointing out the reasons for loving the maple forest.
"Frost leaves are redder than flowers in February", adding the third sentence, a beautiful view of maple forest in late autumn is displayed in detail. The poet was pleasantly surprised to find that under the sunset glow, the maple leaves were about to drip and the forest was dyed. It's full of colorful clouds, such as bright rosy clouds, which are even more fiery than the spring flowers in February in Jiangnan.
And beautiful. What is commendable is that the poet saw the vitality of autumn as spring through this piece of red, which made Lin Qiu present a warm and vibrant scene.
Unlike ordinary feudal literati, this poet did not sigh sadly when autumn came. He praised the beauty of autumn in nature, reflected the spirit of generosity and upward, and showed the poet's talent with a wave of his pen.
This also shows the poet's insight. This is an autumn hymn. The fourth sentence is the center of the whole poem, written by the poet with strong colors and coherent brushwork. Not only the sparse scenery of the first two sentences became the foil of this gorgeous autumn scenery.
Even the seemingly lyrical narrative of "stopping to sit in the maple grove late" actually played a role in setting off the scenery: the poet who stopped to look but was drunk became a part of the scenery. With this scene, the charm of autumn colors became more obvious.
