Waiting for September 8 of the lunar autumn,

Blooming chrysanthemums are in full bloom, Chang 'an is fragrant, the city is bathed in the fragrance of chrysanthemums-Italy, and the land is like golden chrysanthemums.

Translation:

When the Double Ninth Festival comes in autumn and September, chrysanthemums will bloom and other flowers will wither. The blooming chrysanthemums are dazzling and the fragrance permeates Chang 'an. The whole city is bathed in fragrant chrysanthemums, and there are golden chrysanthemums like armor everywhere.

Creative background and appreciation:

This poem was written after Huang Chao finally came. Before the uprising, Huang Chao went to the capital Chang 'an to take the imperial examination, but he was not admitted.

The failure of the imperial examination, the darkness of the whole society and the corruption of official management made him more and more dissatisfied with the Li and Tang dynasties. After failing in the exam, his pride doubled. He expressed his ambition by chanting chrysanthemums and wrote this song "The Last Chrysanthemum".

The third and fourth sentences, "Tianxiang pervades Chang 'an, and the city is full of golden flowers", are the foresight and expectation of the victory prospect of chrysanthemum. The third sentence says, "Tianxiang pervades Chang 'an". This fragrance is not fragrant, not delicate, but "tianxiang".

The word "soaring into the sky" describes the extraordinary momentum of chrysanthemum with rich aroma and soaring into the sky; The word "incense array" shows that when Jin Ju won, it was by no means a separate branch, but a group that was all proud, which contained a simple and profound concept of peace in the world; The word "head" also shows the enterprising spirit of chrysanthemum, which is refreshing, fragrant and cosmopolitan.

In the fourth sentence, "the city is full of golden flowers", "the city is full of chrysanthemums, all over Kyoto; "Bring the capital" means that all chrysanthemums in Chang 'an are full of golden flowers without exception.

The words "full" and "exhausted" describe the wonders when chrysanthemums win the world-the Double Ninth Festival, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the whole Chang 'an has become the world of chrysanthemums, which fully shows the victory prospect of the peasant revolutionary storm destroying everything and the new life dominating everything.
