Full text: Lotus has no rain cover, but chrysanthemum still has Ao Shuang branches. You must remember the best scenery in a year, which is in the late autumn and early winter of orange and green.

Lotus withered, even the lotus leaf holding the rain withered, only the flower branch that defeated 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.

Full text appreciation:

This poem is about the scenery in early winter. In order to highlight "orange, orange and green, the best scenery in a year", the poet first painted the last autumn picture with highly summarized pen and ink.

The lotus in the lotus pond, where the green leaves and red flowers once reflected the sun, has long withered, and the withered stems and leaves can no longer hold the green umbrella to keep out the wind and rain; The residual chrysanthemum under the independent hedge, although the stem is fragrant, has no leaves, and only the tall and straight branches are still strong against the wind in Ao Shuang.

There are many kinds of nature, and flowers bloom and fall in a year. It can be said that the seasons are different and the months are different. Here, the poet only chose the lotus and chrysanthemum that won the competition in summer and autumn respectively, and wrote their withering to set off the cold heart of orange. The genius of the poet also lies in that he did not simply write about the decline of lotus and chrysanthemum, but extended the description to lotus leaves and chrysanthemum branches.
