Translated by frost in early September by Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen's Frost in Early September is translated as follows:

The first frosty autumn is bleak. In ancient times, the first frost was divided into three stages: "One stage was that the jackal sacrificed animals; Second, the vegetation is yellow; Three waiting insects are salty. " This means that after a period of time, jackals began to kill a large number of small animals and fatten themselves up to spend the winter that is not easy to feed. Here, the poet used the allusions of jackals sacrificing animals, and sparse trees to express his grief and homesickness. At this time, he can drink a glass of wine and forget the sadness of his hometown.

Original text:

"Poetry is twenty-four, frost in early September"? Don? Yuan Zhen

The wind swept away, the clouds dispersed, leaving only Wan Li frost in the sky.

Wild jackals sacrifice the moon first, and fairy chrysanthemums meet Chongyang.

Autumn is sad and sparse, and Hongming remembers his hometown.

Who knows that a bottle of wine can make Baiqiu die.

The authors of this poem, Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi, advocated the new Yuefu movement, which was called "Bai Yuan" by the world, and the title of the poem was "Yuanhe Style". His poems are shallow and sad, like a lonely phoenix lamenting, and extremely touching. In Yuan Zhen's creation, poetry is the greatest achievement. He has a group of poems about the twenty-four solar terms, and this one is about the first frost solar terms.

The first frost, one of the 24 solar terms, refers to the weather getting colder and the first frost appears. It is the last solar term in autumn, which also means that winter is about to begin. Due to the inconvenient transportation, the ancients began to return home after the first frost, because they wanted to go back to their relatives' homes when the Spring Festival came, so most of them were homesick for late autumn and winter.
