Maple leaves and mature rushes rustle in autumn. What does this mean?

Maple trees and reeds were rustled by the autumn wind.

Whispering: Describe the sound of maple reeds being blown by autumn wind.

The original fragment of Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip in the Tang Dynasty: I saw the guests off on the banks of Xunyang River in the dead of night, maple leaves and rushes, and the autumn wind was rustling.

In the evening, I went to Xunyang River to see the guests off, and the maple reeds were rustled by the autumn wind.

Creation background

In the 10th year of Yuanhe (8 15), in June, the forces of the Tang Dynasty sent assassins to stab the Prime Minister Wu and the imperial minister Pei Du at the head of Chang 'an Street, which caused an uproar in the ruling and opposition parties. The forces of the buffer region further demanded the removal of Pei Du, so as to stabilize the buffer region's "anti-frontier" heart.

Bai Juyi advocated the strict arrest of murderers, was suspected of "exceeding his authority", and often wrote allegorical poems, which offended the dignitaries in the DPRK, so he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima. Sima is the assistant of the secretariat. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, the placement of "criminal" officials was a disguised distribution.

This incident had a great influence on Bai Juyi and was a turning point in his ideological transformation. Since then, his early fighting spirit has gradually worn away and his negative emotions have increased.

In the autumn of the 11th year of Yuanhe (8 16), Bai Juyi saw off guests in Jiangtou, Xunyang, and met an Changan, who played the pipa, so he took this as the theme. This narrative poem is Pipa Xing.
