This poem is about the views on a walk in the mountains in late autumn. The title, Shan Xing, simply means travelling in the mountains. Du Mu rode a carriage up the mountain. He saw the winding stone path, homes up near the clouds, and a whole forest of maples glowing red at dusk, so he stopped to enjoy it. We no longer know which year, or which mountain, the poem was written about.
这首诗写的是深秋时节在山里走路看到的景色。题目“山行”，就是在山里行走。杜牧坐着车上山，看到弯弯的石路、山顶的人家，还有傍晚一片火红的枫林，于是停下车来欣赏。这首诗具体写于哪一年、哪座山，已经说不清了。
Du Mu (803–852) was a poet of the late Tang. His poems are fresh and bright, and he was best at seven-character quatrains. With a few strokes he could paint a whole scene. People pair him with Li Shangyin as the "Little Li and Du".
杜牧（803—852），晚唐诗人，字牧之。他的诗清新俊朗，尤其擅长七言绝句，写景常常几笔就画出一幅画。人们把他和李商隐并称“小李杜”。
The first two lines move like a camera from low to high. A stone path winds into the mountain, and at the very top, among white clouds, people actually live. In the third line the poet stops his carriage, for a simple reason: he loves these maple woods at dusk too much to go on. The last line is the brightest part of the poem. Leaves touched by frost are even redder than spring flowers. Many poets find autumn sad. Du Mu sees how warm and beautiful it is, and his poem warms the reader's heart too.
前两句像镜头从下往上移：一条石路弯弯曲曲伸进山里，最高处白云飘飘，竟然还住着人家。第三句诗人停下了车，原因很简单：太喜欢这傍晚的枫林了。最后一句是全诗最亮的地方：被霜打过的枫叶，比春天的花还要红。很多人写秋天会觉得悲凉，杜牧却看到了秋天的热烈和美丽，读起来让人心里也暖暖的。
