From: Tang Dynasty Li Shangyin's "Prepare Posts".
Monkeys and birds are still alert to your orders, and the wind and clouds are eager to protect your fortress.
You are the owner of the brush, a wise general, but your emperor, defeated, rode a prison car.
You are more capable than Zhou's greatest politician, but you can't compare with two Shu generals who died in battle?
Although a temple was built for you in your birthplace, you never finished singing the song of the holy mountain.
The hesitation of apes and birds is a strict military order that scares the prime minister, and the storm often protects the fence of his army base. Zhuge Liang wasted his time here, but Liu Chan, the late ruler, finally surrendered by mail. Kong Mingzhen is really a talented person of Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Guan Gong and Zhang Fei are dead. How can we save the day? Last year, when I passed Jincheng, I visited Wuhou Temple and recited Fu Liang's songs. I am deeply sorry for him!
Appreciate Li Shangyin's good use of allusions. The topic is Zhuge Liang, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in this couplet are his contemporaries, that is, today; Guan Zhong was born in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Le Yi was born in the Warring States Period, long before the Three Kingdoms. Ancient and modern times are used in pairs, and Zhuge Liang is better than the ancients. At the same time, writing Zhuge Liang is that the past serves the present, and the virtual is practical, and it is natural.
The reason for saying this is that Zhuge Liang "compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu and Zhuge Liang Chuan), so it is natural for Guan Zhong and Le Yi to point the finger directly at Zhuge Liang. So the so-called "wind music" can be said to be "ancient" and "virtual" and "real", as opposed to Guan and Zhang.
