The autumn wind blows the leaves, making a bleak sound. Under the blowing of the wind, the vast ocean is filled with huge waves, rolling in, like an immortal riding on the wind. From the context, we can see that this is a depiction of the majesty and vastness of the sea.
As mentioned earlier, the autumn wind is bleak, which is an almost abysmal scene, and behind it is the mighty torrent. Extended information

"Viewing the Sea"
Eastern Han Dynasty] Cao Cao
Landing the Jieshi in the east, he could view the sea.
Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing tall.
There are many trees and lush grass.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
The journey of the sun and the moon can be seen from within;
The stars are shining brightly from within.
Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition.
2. Appreciation
"The water is sluggish, the mountains and islands are standing tall" is the general impression I get when looking at the sea, a bit like the thick lines of a painting. In this "roaming" sea, the first thing that catches the eye is the abrupt and towering mountain islands. They are dotted on the flat sea, making the sea look magical and spectacular. These two sentences describe the general outline of the sea view, which will be described in depth below.
"The trees are thick and the grass is luxuriant. The autumn wind is bleak and the flood waves are rising." The first two sentences specifically describe the mountain island of Changzhi: Although the autumn wind is bleak and the grass and trees are falling, the island is lush with trees. , the grass is rich and lush, giving people a poetic feeling.
The last two sentences are a further description of the sentence "How is the water?": Looking carefully, the sea surface in the bleak autumn wind is actually huge waves, turbulent and ups and downs.
Although it is a typical autumn environment here, there is no sad autumn mood at all. Facing the bleak autumn wind, the author writes about the vastness and magnificence of the sea: in the bleak autumn wind, the sea is surging and vast, reaching the sky; the mountain islands are towering and straight, with lush vegetation, without any sentimental sentiment. This new realm and new style reflect his "ambitious" mind of "an old man is still in trouble, but he aims for a thousand miles".
"The journey of the sun and the moon can be seen from within; the stars are shining brightly from within." The previous description is observed from the level of the sea, and these four sentences are connected with the boundless universe. The momentum and power of the sea are highlighted in front of readers as long as the pen is open: the vast sea is connected with the sky, and the sky is blurred; in front of this majestic and magnificent sea, the sun, moon, stars, Han (Galaxy) are all They seem to be insignificant, and their movements seem to be freely absorbed by the sea.
The sea described by the poet here is not only the real scene in front of him, but also integrated with his own imagination and exaggeration, showing a majestic atmosphere that swallows the universe, and has the potential of "five mountains rising into a square inch". This kind of "covering the atmosphere" is the artistic realm formed by the blending of the scenery in the poet's eyes and the emotions in his heart. Speaking from the heart, if the poet does not have grand political ambitions, no ambition to make achievements, and no optimism about the future, he will not be able to write such a magnificent poem anyway.
