On the west side of the fortress, the humane road is Chibi, Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms.
To the west of the old camp, people say that it is the Red Cliff where Zhou Lang defeated Cao's soldiers during the Three Kingdoms period.
Fortress: a fortress left over from the past. Zhou Lang: Refers to Zhou Yu, the famous general of the Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period, whose courtesy name was Gong Jin. He was successful as a young man and became Zhonglang General at the age of 24. He was in charge of the heavy troops of Soochow. Everyone in Wuzhong called him "Zhou Lang". "Gong Jin" in the following refers to Zhou Yu.
Rocks pierced through the sky, stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. (Chuangkong, one work: Collapse of Clouds)
There are many rocks on the shore, as if they are about to pierce the sky. Amazing huge waves hit the river bank, and the waves stirred up are like thousands of piles of white snow.
Snow: a metaphor for waves.
The country is picturesque, and there are so many heroes at one time.
The majestic mountains and rivers are as beautiful as pictures, and many heroes emerged in one time.
Reminiscent of Gong Jin’s time, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time (liǎo), and she was majestic and heroic (fā).
Thinking back to the time when Zhou Yu was so proud of his spring breeze, Xiao Qiao had just married him as his wife, and she looked heroic, graceful, and radiant.
Remote thoughts: describe thinking far away; memories. Xiao Qiao first married: Qiao, this is "Bridge". At that time, it had been ten years since the Battle of Chibi. The word "first marriage" here means that she was a proud young man, suave and romantic. Majestic and heroic: It is said that Zhou Yu has extraordinary physical appearance and outstanding speech. Yingfa, extraordinary conversational skills and outstanding knowledge.
Feather fan and silk scarf, while talking and laughing, the Qiang (qiáng) and oar (lǔ) disappeared into ashes. (Qianglu, one work: strong prisoners)

My motherland wanders in my mind, I am passionate and should laugh at me, I will be born early (fà).
Now I am wandering in the past on the ancient battlefield. It is ridiculous that I have so much nostalgic tenderness that my hair on the temples is turning gray before I get old.
The wandering spirit in the motherland: a reverse text of "the wandering spirit in the motherland". Homeland: This refers to the old land, the battlefield of Chibi. Fugue: traveling in imagination and dreams. The second sentence of "passionate": "You should laugh at me for being passionate, because I will be born early". Huafa: gray hair.
Life is like a dream, a statue returns (huán) to the moon (lèi) over the river. (The first work of life: the human world; the same meaning as: Zun)
Life is like a dream, and a glass of wine is sprinkled to pay homage to the bright moon on the river.
One statue returns the moon to the river: The ancients poured wine on the ground to pay homage. This refers to pouring wine to reward the moon and expressing one's feelings. Zun: Same as "zun", wine glass.

The water of the river is rolling and flowing eastward, The huge waves swept away all the heroes of the ages.
To the west of the old camp, people say that it is the Red Cliff where Zhou Lang defeated Cao's soldiers during the Three Kingdoms period.
The shore is lined with rocks, as if they are about to pierce the sky. Amazing huge waves hit the river bank, and the waves stirred up are like thousands of piles of white snow.
The majestic mountains and rivers are as beautiful as pictures, and many heroes emerged in one time.
Thinking back to the time when Zhou Yu was so proud of his spring breeze, Xiao Qiao had just married him as his wife, and she looked heroic, graceful, and radiant.
With a hand-held feather fan and a silk scarf on his head, he burned the powerful enemy's warship to ashes while talking and laughing.
Now I am wandering in the past on the ancient battlefield. It is ridiculous that I have so much nostalgic tenderness that my hair on the temples is turning gray before I get old.
Life is like a dream, let’s pour a glass of wine to pay homage to the bright moon on the river.

Later Influence Why is the image of Zhou Yu in "Nian Nujiao" so different from that in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? This was caused by Luo Guanzhong, the author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who seriously distorted history in order to beautify Zhuge Liang and belittle Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu in Su Shi's works is young and promising, with literary talents and romantic talents. He is proud of himself, has the demeanor of a Confucian general, is commanding with determination, extraordinary courage, and heroic spirit. Zhou Yu in history is high-spirited, broad-minded, and promising at a young age. He is very fond of Su Shi. A hero to admire. However, there is currently no historical record of whether Zhou Yu was the image of a feather fan and silk scarf in history. The person who did record the image of a feather fan and silk scarf was Zhuge Liang, his contemporary. "Yu Lin" of the Jin Dynasty recorded: "Wuhou and King Xuan fought in Weibin. King Xuan was entrusted with his duties, and sent people to pay close attention to Marquis Wu. He rode in a plain carriage, wore a Ge scarf, and held a white feather fan, pointing at the three armies under his command. When King Xuan heard about it, he sighed and said: "Zhuge Jun is a famous scholar." .”▲
