1. "Suiwan" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty

Frost precipitation returns to the valley, and the wind falls and the trees return to the mountains. As the years pass by, everything returns to its original state.

How come this guest who moved south has not returned for five years? The fate of the settlement has been determined, and as time goes by, the heart will be at peace.

Also taste your heart and mouth, and think quietly to yourself. Going to a foreign country is certainly not a joy, and returning home may not be a joy.

Translation: The scene of the chilling of all things in autumn is easy to make people sad, and the weather is even colder during the frost season. It is already sad for people who go to their country to miss their hometown, not to mention poets like Bai Juyi. People who have experienced ups and downs in life. In this poem, the poet's mood seems to be in his twilight years just like the season of frost. He feels that his fate has been decided and there is no need to say anything. Corresponding to the cold weather is the author's discouraged attitude towards life.

2. "Ode to the Twenty-Four Qi Poems: Frost Falls in the Mid-September" Tang Dynasty·Yuan Zhen

The wind blows and the clear clouds disappear, and the sky is covered with frost. Wild jackals first worship the moon, and fairy chrysanthemums meet the Double Ninth Festival.

The autumn colors are sad and the trees are sparse, and the sound reminds me of my hometown. Who knew that a bottle of wine could destroy a hundred years of autumn?

Translation: The Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen has a set of poems about the twenty-four solar terms. This is a poem about the frost solar term. Autumn at the time of frost is desolate. In ancient times, frost was divided into three periods: "In the first period, jackals are sacrificing animals; in the second period, the grass and trees are yellow; in the third period, the stings are salty." This means that in the first period, jackals begin to hunt small animals in large numbers. Beasts fatten themselves up to survive the winter when food is hard to come by. Here the poet uses the allusion of jackals sacrificing animals. Coupled with sparse trees, mourning, and homesickness, you can drink a glass of wine at this time and forget about this foreign hometown, sadness, and past and present years.
