This poem depicts a colorful and vibrant picture of "Xiangjiang Autumn Colors". Through the images of autumn cold, first frost (climate), Wanshan Mountain (forest is full of dye), Xiangjiang River (blue flowers and hundreds of rivers) and flying eagle swimming fish (all kinds of fish strive for freedom), the poet's concern for the fate of the country and his deep feelings about the revolutionary situation at that time were vividly expressed and lyrical on the spot. Xiaque recalled the eventful years of that year, and showed the heroic revolutionary spirit and lofty aspirations of poets and comrades-in-arms in order to transform old China. The image implicitly gives the answer to "Who lives in ups and downs": revolutionary youth who take the world as their responsibility, despise reactionary rulers and dare to transform old China.
