This involves the famous Battle of Red Cliffs in history. Because Du Mu himself has the ability to help the world through the country, he is familiar with politics and military affairs, and is very familiar with history and current affairs.
As we all know, both Battle of Red Cliffs and Wu Sheng were defeated by Cao Cao, but here the author made a bold assumption of reverse thinking and put forward a hypothesis that is contrary to historical facts. What would have happened if Dongfeng hadn't helped Zhou Yu? The poet did not speak frankly about the end of the war. But "Tongquetai locks Er Qiao in spring". Tongquetai is Cao Cao's luxurious and dissipated place, where concubines and geisha are kept. The bronze sparrow terrace here reminds people of Cao Cao's romantic side. It is said that "deep spring" has deepened this romantic charm. Finally, the word "lock" is used to further highlight his meaning of golden house. It is really admirable to write so many stories about the victory and defeat of the war filled with smoke.
Later, poetic theorists had some comments on this: "We don't ask about the country's life and death, and we are afraid of being caught by Er Qiao. This shows that the measurement is great and we don't know likes and dislikes." Although Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had nothing to do with this movement, their status and status represented the dignity of Wu Dong as an independent political entity. Wu Dong is not dead, they can never be attributed to Cao Cao; Even they have been humiliated, and the experience of Wu Dong society and creatures can be imagined.
Therefore, the poet described Cao Cao's arrogance after his victory and Wu Dong's humiliation after his defeat in the case of "the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Lang" with the poem "A bronze sparrow locks Er Qiao in the spring", which is an extremely powerful counter-surrender, which not only sets off the hero with beauty, but also sets off a contrast with the previous sentence of Zhou Lang and is more affectionate. ?
Extended data:
Er Qiao refers to the two daughters and Xiao Qiao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, whose names are unknown (it is rumored that Jiangdong Beauty and Xiao Qiao were the daughters of Qiao Xuan, a captain of the Han Dynasty). Er Qiao is beautiful and famous for its beauty. Da Qiao is Sun Ce's concubine and Xiao Qiao is Zhou Yu's wife.
Du Mu in Red Cliff
If you don't sell the broken halberd and heavy sand iron, you will be cleared by the previous dynasty;
If the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I'm afraid the outcome will be Cao Cao's victory and Er Qiao's detention in Tongquetai.
