The surging river flows eastward, and those heroes of the past are gone forever. To the west of the old camp, people say it's the War of the Three Kingdoms, Battle of Red Cliffs. The steep rock wall, like thunder waves lapping against the river bank, waves like rolling up thousands of snow. The majestic rivers and mountains are picturesque, and many heroes emerge at once.
Looking back on Zhou Yu's spring breeze era, young and beautiful Joe just married him, and he was full of heroic spirit. A white figure with a feather fan came face to face, and while talking and laughing, the enemy warships burned to ashes. I am wandering in the battlefield today. I feel a feeling heart and give birth to white hair prematurely. Life is like a dream, sprinkle a glass of wine to pay tribute to the bright moon on the river.
The water of the great river keeps rolling eastward, and the surging waves wash away the heroes of the ages.
West of Laoying, people say it is the Red Cliff where Zhou Lang defeated Cao Bing in the Three Kingdoms.
There are many rocks on the shore, as if to pierce the sky. Amazing waves beat against the river bank, stirring up waves like thousands of piles of snow.
The majestic mountains and rivers are picturesque, and how many heroes have emerged at one time.
In retrospect, Zhou Yu was proud of his spring breeze, and Xiao Qiao just married him, looking dashing and radiant.
The hand-waving feather fan wore a nylon scarf, and during the conversation, the battleship of the strong enemy was burned to ashes.
Now immersed in the ancient battlefield, wandering in the past. Ironically, I have so much nostalgia for the past that my temples are as white as old age.
Life is like a dream, sprinkle a glass of wine to pay homage to the bright moon on the river.
This poem was written by Su Shi when he lived in Huangzhou in the fifth year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong (AD 1082). At that time, the author was forty-five years old and was demoted to Huangzhou for more than two years because of Wutai poetry case.
Su Shi was demoted for satirizing the new law in his poems and was condemned by Luo Zhi, a new bureaucrat. He has endless worries in his heart, so he travels around to relax.
I happened to come to Chibi (Biji) outside Huangzhou City. The magnificent scenery here touched the author greatly, which made the author sigh that time flies while recalling Zhou Yu's infinite scenery during the Three Kingdoms period, so he wrote this word.
In the Mao Dun of history and present situation, ideal and reality, Su Shi did not put himself in danger and was unable to extricate himself. More than enough mobility, a turn can be detached from things.
Su Shi's first poem is not only his most heroic masterpiece, but also the most heroic masterpiece in the Song Dynasty. This word, with majestic weather and rich style, sings high into the clouds and can appreciate the profound philosophy of history and life. The grandeur of its realm is unprecedented, and the words of the ages are the first, which is known as "the swan song of ancient and modern times".
