Lotus didn't shelter from the rain, chrysanthemums and branches of Ao Shuang. Describe what season?

Original poem: "To Liu Jingwen"

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

The lotus flower withered, so did the lotus leaf holding the rain, and only the branches of chrysanthemum stood proudly against the frost.

You must remember the best scenery in a year, which is in the late autumn and early winter of orange and green.

The lotus leaf as elegant as an open umbrella has withered; Chrysanthemum has withered, but there are still chrysanthemum branches that are not afraid of cold and frost swaying in the wind. You must remember that the best scenery in a year is in this orange and green season!
