Is there an ancient poem or song poem that says "autumn is deep and chrysanthemum is yellow and crab is fat"

There is no such poem. The phrase "autumn is deep and chrysanthemum is yellow and crab is fat" is not the original poem, but an adaptation. The original poem is Su Shi's 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.

The lotus flower withered, even the lotus leaf holding the rain withered, and only the flower branch that defeated the chrysanthemum stood proudly in the frost.

You must remember that the best scenery in a year is in the late autumn and early winter when oranges are golden and green.

Extended data evaluation

It's a good time to admire chrysanthemums and eat crabs.

"It's not that chrysanthemums are favored among flowers, and this flower is even more barren." Chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and chrysanthemums are a symbol of nobility and character in the hearts of the ancients. There are countless poems praising chrysanthemums and they are listed as one of the "four gentlemen". In recent years, according to incomplete statistics, the number of chrysanthemum varieties has reached more than 7000 varieties.

In order to get rid of autumn dryness, some areas have the custom of drinking "chrysanthemum wine". Chrysanthemum wine is made from chrysanthemum, glutinous rice and distiller's yeast, and its taste is cool and sweet.

When autumn is getting stronger, it is also the best time to eat crabs. Of course, behind this chanting is definitely Xu Dawen's pain and happiness when eating crabs, which is no different from our ordinary diners. Autumn is the best time to eat crabs. As the saying goes, "the west wind blows the crab's feet itch", and the taste of the crab will be "positive" as soon as it is cold.
