Bai Juyi's autumnal equinox poems

Bai Juyi's poem The Equinox is as follows:

Going to Qiu Lai in summer is hot and cold day and night.

In the middle of the month, laurel trees fall and fragrant clouds float outside.

The cool breeze has passed, and the drizzle is raining.

In the empty countryside, Qiu Guang can be seen everywhere.

This poem depicts the autumnal equinox. The autumnal equinox is the sixteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, usually on September 22nd or 23rd every year. On this day, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the time between day and night is equal all over the world, hence the name of the autumnal equinox.

Going to Qiu Lai in summer is hot and cold day and night, which describes the climate change during the autumnal equinox. The summer heat gradually subsided, the coolness of autumn began to hit, and the temperature difference between day and night gradually increased.

Guizi falls in the moon, and the fragrant clouds float outside, depicting the unique scene of autumn. Osmanthus fragrans is in full bloom, and its fragrance is overflowing, as if falling from the sky. At this time, people can often smell the rich osmanthus fragrance, which is also a major feature of autumn.

After a cool breeze, there are drizzles, which describe the weather changes in the autumn equinox. The cool wind blew and brought a lot of light rain. This kind of weather brings people a cool feeling and makes the earth wetter.

Qiu Guang can be seen everywhere in the open countryside, depicting the scene of autumn fields. At this time, the crops in the field have matured, and the open space left after harvesting is particularly empty. The mountains and trees in the distance show golden light under the sunlight, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
