1. "Ambition" Tang Dynasty: Wang Ji
Donggao looks forward to the dusk, where can I rely on when I move?
The trees are all in autumn colors, and the mountains are only covered with sunset.
Vernacular interpretation: Standing in Donggao in the evening and looking far into the distance, I hesitated and didn’t know where to turn. The woods were all stained with autumn colors, and the mountains were covered with the afterglow of the setting sun.
2. "Ode to Chrysanthemums by the Empress Bu Di" Tang Dynasty: Huang Chao
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom.
The towering incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.
Vernacular interpretation: When the Double Ninth Festival comes in September in autumn, the chrysanthemums will bloom and other flowers will wither. The chrysanthemums in full bloom are dazzling, and the fragrance is long and peaceful. The whole city is bathed in the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and the golden armor-like chrysanthemums are everywhere.
3. "Two Autumn Poems" Tang Dynasty: Liu Yuxi
Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring.
A crane flies above the clouds in a clear sky, bringing poetry to the blue sky.
The mountains are clear and the water is clear, frost comes at night, and several trees turn deep red and turn light yellow.
Trying to go up to a high-rise building will clear your bones, it’s like the spring scenery that makes people crazy.
Vernacular interpretation: Since ancient times, poets and poets have lamented the depression, desolation, and emptiness of autumn. But I say autumn is far better than spring. It's a crisp autumn day with clear skies. A crane soars into the sky and pushes away the clouds, which also inspires my poetry to fly into the clear sky. It's autumn, the mountains are bright and the water is clear, and there is already frost at night; the leaves turn from green to yellow, but a few of them have red leaves, which are particularly conspicuous among the light yellow. When you climb up to the tall building, you can see the clear autumn in all directions; you won't feel like it. Spring scenery makes people crazy like that.
4. "Mountain Travel" Tang Dynasty: Du Mu
Far up the Hanshan Mountain, the stone path is sloping, and there is a home deep in the white clouds.
I park my car and sit in the maple forest at night, the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost.
Vernacular interpretation: Along the winding path up the mountain, 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.
