Seven-character verse of the first frost

New Autumn is a seven-character poem written by Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, describing the first frost.

original text

The fire cloud has not yet gathered in Qifeng, and the pillow is shocked.

Whose home is lonely in several desolate gardens.

Cicadas moan intermittently about the waning moon, and fireflies glow up and down in the dusk.

Give it to the golden gate period again, scratching your head and sighing at night.

The fiery red clouds in the sky are unpredictable, showing strange peaks and different scenery, leaning on the pillow, and waking up in the autumn wind at first.

Many gardens present bleak autumn scenery, and the sound of smashing clothes on the anvil breaks the cold silence.

Cicada moans under the waning moon, and fireflies twinkle in the night sky.

I had difficulties before I became famous. When I went to Qiu Lai in summer, it was inevitable that I would wait for no one. So I scratched my head and sighed at midnight.

Extended data

Although Du Fu's song "New Autumn" has made people feel the cold of late autumn, his artistic style as a whole is also like a solar term-the first frost, with a heavy proportion of bitterness. For example, in his "Eight Poems of Autumn Prosperity", the phrase "Tears gather together on another day, and a lonely boat is the heart of hometown"; "The crayons are used to being dry, and the white heads are whispering." Du Fu's poetic style reminds people of Van Gogh. He is also an artist full of passion and compassion for the people at the bottom. Their care, pain and sincerity are similar.
