Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem "Red Cliff Fu", which was written when Song Shenzong Yuanfeng was relegated to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) in the fifth year (1082).
The original excerpt is as follows:
Raise a glass to propose a toast to one's companions, recite articles related to the moon, and sing praises to chapters. Not long after, the moon rose from Dongshan and hovered between the Big Dipper and the cow. Milky white fog across the river, clear water. Let the boat float on the boundless river and cross the boundless river.
The translation is as follows:
Raise a glass to the other half, and recite the chapter "My My Fair Lady" in the bright moon. After a while, the bright moon rose from the back of Dongshan and moved back and forth between Dousu and Niusu. White fog streaked across the river and covered the sky. Indulge a reed-like boat to float freely and cross the endless river.

Creation background
The Red Wall Fu was written during Su Shi's relegation to Huangzhou, which was one of the most difficult periods in his life. In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi was accused of defaming the imperial court for writing a poem "Xie Shangbiao in Huzhou", impeached by Yushi and accused of defaming the imperial court. History is called "Wutai Poetry Case". "After several reconstructions", he was tortured.
After being rescued by many parties, he was released in1February of that year and was demoted to deputy ambassador of Huangzhou Youth League Training, but "no official contract, no unauthorized placement." This is undoubtedly a "semi-prisoner" controlled life. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Su Shi visited Chibi twice in July 16 and 10/5, and wrote two poems about Chibi. Later generations called the first poem "Red Cliff Fu" and the second poem "Back Red Cliff Fu".
works appreciation
The full text is coherent in image and rigorous in structure. The coherence of scenery not only makes the whole article look like a whole in structure, but also communicates the emotional context and ups and downs of the whole article.
Writing the scenery at the beginning is the appearance of the author's broad-minded optimism; Singing while Seizing the Boat was born out of the scenery of "emptiness" and "streamer", and the transition from "happiness" to "sadness"; Guests worry about the wind and moon, and their mood turns into depression and negativity; Finally, the discussion on the variation of all things and the philosophy of life is drawn from The Bright Moon and the Breeze, so as to dispel the sadness in my heart.
