"Ode to Autumn" - Luo Lan
The beauty of autumn lies in its clarity.
Some people’s eyes are like autumn, and some people’s charm is like autumn.
The beauty of the maple trees that represent autumn is not only the red color of the frost, but also the coolness of the wind.
When the leaves gradually become sparse, the autumn forest shows their elegance. It is a sense of freedom and ease that does not require any embellishment and an aloofness that does not care about worldly prosperity.
The most touching thing is the setting sun reflected in the autumn forest. The deep red color contrasts with the deepening twilight on the horizon. The evening breeze carries a clear coolness, and as the twilight invades, it is a very gorgeous and sad beauty. It makes you want to shed a few tears of nostalgia for your life experience, but you are caught by the gradually fading drunken red, and you are willing to condense your unrestrained emotions.
There was once a painter who painted "Autumn Courtyard" with frost-stained maple trees. The tall maple trees quietly conceal the tranquility of the garden. The heavy door behind the tree is deeply hidden, and the endless loneliness can be seen. It seems that I have lived in it and tasted the tranquility of autumn. And I still want to quietly step into the painting, ask about the heavily hidden door, and see how much dust there is and how many traces of life are sealed inside.
The most intriguing thing is the idle clouds in the autumn sky. So indifferent and leisurely, quietly far away from the world, no longer indifferent to the joys and sorrows of the world.
The autumn wind is the purest wind without any modification. So smoothly passing through the garden, there is no need to be attached to the falling leaves - seasons are seasons, metabolism is metabolism, life and death are life and death, joys and sorrows are joys and sorrows. No need to participate, no need to linger.
The autumn water is as clear as the wind. "Point the Qiu River, see egrets and sand gulls", which paints this clear picture. There is nothing to worry about, to be nervous about, or to be persistent about. "The arrogance kills thousands of households in the world, and the illiterate smoke waves catch the old man." Autumn is so spotless.
"Idle clouds and wild cranes" is the title of autumn. Only the white clouds in the clear autumn sky are worthy of the word "idle". The beauty of wild cranes is as light as autumn water and as far away as autumn mountains. It is so elusive and unrestrained that it deserves the word "Yi". "Leisure" and "ease" are the true nature of autumn.
There are also some people who have the beauty of autumn. You must be such a person to have such beauty. Such beauty comes from within. He has everything but doesn't want to have anything. It is a kind of thoroughness and freedom formed by profound cognition and perception.
Autumn is a season of maturity, harvest, and fulfillment, but it is also a season of indifference. It has experienced the vigor of spring and the prosperity of summer, and is no longer proud of being praised and pampered. It isolates all praise and love from the dull autumn light, and only wants to be a leisurely, distant, and elusive autumn.
