Ten maple scenic spots, one is redder than the other! Don't miss it, miss it and wait another year.

Autumn is getting stronger in October, and the mountains are all red and the forests are all dyed.

On the earth, maple leaves are the first to be red in the mountains, followed by Chinese tallow, persimmon forest and Chinese fir, and the yellow ones are Populus euphratica and Ginkgo biloba.

Autumn first goes to the north, and then slowly spreads to the south. From Arctic Village in Heilongjiang, to Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, from Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan to Fengqiao in Suzhou, Du Fu's description of "Sarutobi Kurenai Xia, autumn scenery Gorgeous" can be seen everywhere.

Ancient literati all liked maple leaves very much, leaving a large number of poems, adding rich humanistic customs to maple appreciation.

Zhang Ji's famous poem "a night-mooring near maple bridge": "frosty night, Jiang Feng's fisherman is worried about sleeping".

Du Mu's poem "Mountain Walk" says: "Stop and sit in love with the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February."

Li Bai wrote in thoughts of old time from a night-mooring under mount niu-zhu: tomorrow I shall hoist my sail, with fallen maple-leaves behind me. . . . Birds live in red leaves, and the moon shines on the moss.

Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip begins:

I was bidding a guest farewell, at night on the Xunyang River, where maple-leaves and full-grown rushes rustled in the autumn.

These poems describing the maple leaves describe the autumn colors and give people a good hope for autumn.
