"Sad Autumn" is an important content and imagery in traditional Chinese literature, many ancient literati and inkers associated with the hardships of life because of the autumn depression, and then borrowed the scenery lyrically, spitting out the depression in their hearts, in this regard, Song Yu can be said to be the originator of "Sad autumn".
Of course, there are also some poets who do the opposite, the more in the late autumn, the more they have to praise autumn, and the poet Liu Yuxi's "Autumn Words" is the best example. The late Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu is also the same, a sentence "stop and sit in love with the maple forest at night, frost leaves red in February flowers" let people feel the most beautiful scenery in autumn, in Du Mu's eyes, the colors of autumn are more intense and brilliant than spring.
Du Mu also wrote a poem called "Chang'an Autumn Hope", which describes the autumn scene, but it is full of vigor and heroic spirit, and there is a fresh and flowing beauty to read, which has the grand Tang dynasty rhyme of the poetry of Li Bai.
Outside the frost tree, there is no mirror sky.
The South Mountain and the autumn color, the momentum is high.
This is a poem praising the autumn colors of Chang'an. We know that the ancient literati liked to climb high and overlook, standing on a high place, you can feel the beauty of the surrounding scenery, express the feelings in your heart, du Mu is also the same.
In the late autumn, Du Mu stood on a very high pavilion and looked down on everything. After the frost falls, the leaves have basically withered and scattered, and there are few left, but they also show the tall and tall trees more and more, but the pavilion where people are located is higher than the tree, and let us feel the towering height of the attic.
The autumn sky, as blue as a wash, is spotlessly clean, like a mirror, this is the autumn sky. Such a scenery undoubtedly makes the poet refreshed and happy.
The Nanshan in the poem refers to the Zhongnan Mountain in today's Shaanxi Province. Although Zhongnan Mountain is not high, in the Tang Dynasty, it is a very famous hermit mountain, and the "Zhongnan Shortcut" also refers to this mountain.
The poet overlooks the Zhongnan Mountain in the distance, such as entering the clouds, can compete with the autumn light, and can even be higher than the sky. This poem also reflects Du Mu's broad mind and lofty ambitions.
This poem combines the autumn colors of Chang'an and the mind of the poet, giving people a sense of broad atmosphere, and readers will also feel a sense of pleasure and positivity from the words and lines.
Many people like Du Mu's poetry, and his poetic style is very grand and Tang Dynasty. Du Mu's family was prominent and talented, and at the age of twenty-three, he wrote "A Fang Gong Fu", and has since become famous in the literary world.
Du Mu once lived in Yangzhou City for ten years, and wrote in "Sending Huai": "Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo Xing name", the windy life let him get superficial happiness, but when Du Mu saw the Tang Empire with internal and external troubles, he was miserable, it can be said that in his heart, he was a literati who worried about the country and the people.
In Du Mu's life, although there were many flaws, his poetic achievements were very high, and he became an outstanding poet with the same name as Li Shangyin in the late Tang Dynasty.
