Autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times. I say autumn is better than spring. There is no one in the clear sky in Wan Li, and a crane, Ling Yunfei, has aroused my meditation on the blue sky.
I feel sad and lonely every autumn since ancient times, but I think autumn is better than spring. In the clear sky of Wan Li, a crane flies in the sky, which triggered my poetry about the blue sky.
Liu Yuxi's Autumn Poetry is abnormal in tone and novel in style. It eulogizes the beauty of autumn with the greatest enthusiasm. What's more rare and valuable is that "Autumn Ci" is the work of the poet after he was relegated to Langzhou, which makes people admire Liu Yuxi's attitude towards others. There are two original poems, and this is the first one. "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. I say autumn is better than spring."

Liu Yuxi and his poetic style are quite unique. He is resolute and heroic. During his years in exile, he felt heavy psychological depression and sang a lamentation for lonely ministers. But he never despaired. He has the soul of a fighter.
