Original text and appreciation of the ancient poem "Bei Gu Pavilion at Dengjingkou"

Where can I see China?

Beigu Tower is full of scenery.

How many things have happened through the ages?

The Yangtze River flows endlessly.

The young man Wan Dou ①,

Seize the throne ②The southeastern war is still ongoing③.

Who is the rival of the world’s heroes?

Cao Liu should be like Sun Zhongmou in having children.

Notes:

1 Douluo: the helmet of an ancient soldier, this refers to a soldier.

2 Sitting: occupy.

3 The battle is not over: Refers to the continuous fighting between the Wei and Shu armies.

Appreciation:

There are majestic peaks thousands of feet high and majestic winds thousands of miles away. Where can I not see China? It seems that there is a long sword in the hand, and the bullfight is angry. Every sentence is like a rushing river, filled with surging emotions and sighs about the ups and downs of the world, all rolled into the waves and rolling eastward.
