The poems for the Double Ninth Festival are as follows:
1. The garden is full of golden chrysanthemums and tulips, and there is a solitary bush in the middle that looks like frost. It's like today's singing and drinking banquet, and the white-headed man enters the youth field. ——"Ode to White Chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival" by Bai Juyi
Appreciation: The first and second lines of this poem describe the poet's infinite joy when he saw a snow-white chrysanthemum among the golden chrysanthemums in the garden. The third and fourth sentences use metaphor and personification to compare the snow-white chrysanthemum to an old man attending a song and dance party, singing and dancing with the young people.
The poet laments that he is old and time flies by, but at the same time it also implies that even if he gets old, he must maintain a young heart and actively participate in life activities.
2. Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season. I know from afar that when my brothers climbed to a high place, there was only one less person planting dogwood trees. ——"A Stranger in a Foreign Land" by Wang Wei
Appreciation: This poem describes the homesickness of a wanderer. The poem focuses closely on the title at the beginning, describing the loneliness and desolation of life in a foreign land. Therefore, I miss my hometown and people all the time, and when I encounter a good festival, I miss you even more.
Then the poem leaps to write about the brothers who are far away in their hometown. When they climb high according to the custom of Double Ninth Festival, they also miss themselves. The poetry jumps repeatedly, is implicit and deep, is simple and natural, and has twists and turns. Among them, "I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season" is a famous saying through the ages.
3. The wind is strong, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning, and the white bird is flying back from the clear sand of Zhugistan. The endless falling trees rustled, and the endless Yangtze River rolled in. Wanli is always a guest in the sad autumn, but he has been sick for a hundred years and only appears on the stage. Difficulty and bitterness hate the frost on the temples, and the wine glass is stained by the new stop. ——"Climbing High" by Du Fu
Appreciation: This poem is an immortal masterpiece created by Du Fu on the traditional festival of Double Ninth Festival, when he climbed high and looked far away, facing the bleak autumn scenery, and felt endless emotions in his heart. With rich imagery and vivid brushwork, he painted a desolate and sad autumn picture.
The wind is strong and the sky is high, and the mourning ape is screaming. The shrill voice echoes in the valley, which seems to tell the poet's inner loneliness and helplessness. The clear white sands and birds flying low in the sky make people feel the chill and silence of autumn. Du Fu further emphasized the bleakness of autumn and the ruthlessness of the years with the magnificent poem about the endless falling trees rustling down and the endless rolling of the Yangtze River.
The poet lived a life of wandering and wandering. He once lamented that thousands of miles away are often visited by sad autumn. This is not only a lament for his personal fate, but also a concern for the turmoil of the country and the displacement of the people. And being sick for a hundred years alone on stage is the poet's lament for his old age, frailty and illness.
In this poem, Du Fu uses the frosty temples to vividly express his sorrowful mood after going through hardships and growing old. At the same time, the word "hardship, bitterness and hatred" also implies the poet's worry about the difficulties of his family and country and his concern for the suffering of the people.
