"Poem on a Thousand Red Cliffs" is based on the situation, and what is in the situation and what is in the artistic conception is metaphorically based on the situation.

Fu on the Former Red Cliff shows the contradiction between the melancholy side and the broad-minded side of the lyric hero. On the one hand, from the perspective of the future, I think of some important figures in history, such as Cao Cao, and lament that these all-rounders who can write poems have just turned into dust and no longer exist ("it is safe now"), so people like themselves who are friends of fish and shrimp and elk will not have a good result. The key point here is that I feel small. I am not only a companion of fish and shrimp, a friend of elk, but also a scumbag who "fishes on the river" (catching fish and shrimp by the river and making some waves). Compared with those people in history, I feel ashamed and feel bad. On the other hand, watching the water of the Yangtze River flow through the ages, watching the moon in the sky flow through the ages, even if its profit and loss are uncertain, it has already given birth to angry bursts of emotion.
