Full text:
The great river goes eastward, and the waves are gone, and there are romantic figures throughout the ages. On the west side of the fortress, the humane road is Chibi, the Lang of the Zhou Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms. Rocks pierced through the sky, stormy waves crashed onto the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are so many heroes at one time.
I think back to Gong Jin’s time, when Xiao Qiao got married for the first time and looked majestic and handsome. Feather fans and silk scarves, while talking and laughing, the rafts and oars disappeared into ashes. My motherland wanders in my mind, I should laugh at my passion, and I will be born early. Life is like a dream, a statue returns to the moon.
Translation:
The water of the river is rolling and flowing eastward, sweeping away all the romantic figures of the ages. To the west of that ancient battlefield, it is said to be the Red Cliff where Zhou Yu defeated Cao's army in the Three Kingdoms. It is surrounded by rocks and high mountains, and cliffs on both sides are like clouds. The stormy waves are violently beating on the other side, and the waves are rolling up like thousands of snow piles in winter. The country is so beautiful and picturesque, and so many heroes emerged in a short period of time.
I recall that Zhou Lang’s name was Yu and Gongjin. Xiao Qiao had just married him as his wife. She was heroic, graceful and charming. Holding a feather fan in his hand and wearing a silk scarf on his head, he was talking calmly and casually while Cao Cao's 800,000-strong army was wiped out like ashes. Now I'm wandering back in time on an ancient battlefield. It's ridiculous that I have so much nostalgic tenderness that my hair is turning gray before I get old. Life is like a hazy dream, raising a wine glass to pay homage to the eternal bright moon.
Extended information:
The lyrics of "Niannujiao" are divided into upper and lower parts. The upper palace chants about Red Cliff, the lower palace cherishes Zhou Yu, and hurts oneself by remembering the past, and ends with one's own emotion. The author is nostalgic for the past, thinking about the heroes of ancient times, and uses the heroic deeds praised in ancient times to think about the setbacks he has experienced. Unable to make achievements and achieve great ambitions, his lyrics express his inner sorrow and anger. ?
Shangque chants about Red Cliff, focusing on describing the scenery to set off the description of the characters. The first three sentences not only describe the momentum of Dajiang, but also summarize all the heroes through the ages, expressing the yearning for heroes. Under the guise of "humanity is", the object of chanting is introduced. The use of words such as "chaos", "piercing", "surprised", "shooting" and "volume" exquisitely and uniquely outlines the dangerous situation of the ancient battlefield and writes its majestic and majestic scenes, thereby recalling the Red Cliff Battle in the next film. The heroic characters in it enhance the atmosphere of the environment. ?
Xia Que focuses on writing about people, using his admiration for Zhou Yu to express his feelings about the failure of his achievements. The purpose of writing "Xiao Qiao" is to highlight Zhou Yu's talent and high-spiritedness, and to highlight the character's grace. The description of Zhou Yu's military exploits in the middle is intended to contrast his old age and inaction. Although the last few sentences of "passionate" express sentimental feelings, this feeling is actually the poet's unwillingness to sink, active and enterprising, and the performance of the hero without losing his heroic nature.
