Su Shi
The lotus flower withered, so did the lotus leaf holding the rain, and only the branches of chrysanthemum stood proudly against the frost.
You must remember the best scenery in a year, which is in the late autumn and early winter of orange and green.
The poet described the bleak scene in late autumn and early winter with the words "the lotus is exhausted" and "the chrysanthemum is incomplete", highlighting the image of cold resistance of chrysanthemum in Ao Shuang, indicating that although the winter scene is bleak and cold, it also has fruitful and mature harvest. It is used to describe that when a person reaches the prime of life, although his youth has passed, it is also the golden stage of maturity and great achievements in life, expressing the poet's advice to his friends and encouraging them to cherish this wonderful time and be optimistic.
