Original text:
Shu Xiang
Du fu in Tang dynasty
Where is the temple of the famous prime minister in a pine forest near the Silk City?
The steps are dotted with green grass in spring, and birds are chirping happily under the leaves.
The third call aggravated his state affairs, and he gave his sincerity to two generations.
But before he conquered, he died, and since then the heroes have been crying on their coats.
To annotate ...
Shu Xiang: the prime minister of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms, referring to Zhuge Liang. There is a note under the poem: Zhuge Liang Temple is in the west of Zhaolie Temple.
Prime Minister's Temple: Zhuge Wuhou Temple, first built in Wuhou District, Chengdu.
Jinguancheng: another name for Chengdu. Cypress (bǐ i) dense: cypress trees are lush and dense.
Spring grass is dyed, and orioles are empty (H m 40): These two sentences describe the scenery in the temple. Du Fu attached great importance to Zhuge Liang. He didn't come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but the words "self" and "emptiness" are affectionate. It means that the green grass reflects the steps, but it is spring scenery; The oriole leaves the leaf, but it makes a nice sound in the air. He has no intention of enjoying or listening. Because the people he worships can't see it anymore. Empty: white.
The third call aggravated him with state affairs: it means that Liu Bei attached importance to Zhuge Liang in order to unify the world. This is a compliment to the genius vision shown in the countermeasures. Frequent annoyance or "frequent", many times.
The opening of the two dynasties: Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei to start the imperial industry, and later assisted Liu Chan. Dynasty: Liu Bei, Liu Chan and his son. Open: create. Economy: Help.
But before he conquered, he died, and the heroes cried on their coats (jρn): He died before he won the final victory, which often made the heroes of later generations cry. It means that Zhuge Liang went out to attack Wei many times and failed to win. In 234, the state of Shu was founded in 12 years and died in Wuzhangyuan (now southeast of Qishan, Shaanxi). Set out: set out: send troops.

Where can I find Shu Kong Xiangming Ancestral Hall? The pines and cypresses are green outside Chengdu.
The green grass reflects the court steps, and the air is full of spring scenery; Yellow through the thick leaves, in vain euphemistic songs.
Liu Bei, the first emperor, visited the thatched cottage, which led to the strategy of Longzhong, the plan of the world; Zhuge Lao Chen founded and defended the two dynasties, and finally devoted himself to the world.
Mr Zhuge, a famous man, died before his ambition was realized. Throughout the ages, heroes have shared weal and woe, remembering this and dyeing their skirts with tears.
Appreciation of the second couplet "":
The scenery described by "Spring grass dyeing the steps, birds singing and flowers singing" is bright in color, clear in rhythm, quiet and natural, which shows the spring scenery of Wuhou Temple infinitely beautifully. However, the spring of nature has come, but the hope of rejuvenating the motherland is very slim. Thought of here, the poet inevitably has a sad feeling, so it is said that the intertextuality of "spring scenery" and "empty but good sound", "self" and "emptiness" describes a quiet and motionless environment. The poet infiltrated his subjective feelings into the objective scenery, traded in the scenery, and conveyed his inner sadness from the description of the scenery, which reflected the patriotic spirit of the poet concerned about the country and the people. Through the refraction of this patriotic thought, the image of Zhuge Liang in the poet's eyes is more brilliant.
