Autumn in the Capital
- Poetry of Du Mu

This poem is a small piece by the late Tang poet Du Mu, focused on depicting a scenic autumn landscape. Although the exact year of composition is uncertain, it is generally believed to have been written in the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong (850), during Du Mu’s later years when he resided in Chang’an. The poem captures the grandeur and clarity of the autumn scenery of Chang’an, observed from a lofty tower with views of the South Mountain and the crisp autumn sky.
