Appreciating the green grass covering the steps is just a taste of spring. The call of oriole came through the flowers and leaves, but it was only a good sound. What is described here is the scenery of the ancestral hall of Prime Minister Zhuge. The green grass is luxuriant, which is a charming scenery. Oriole is gentle and easy to make people interesting.
However, although there are green grass and orioles that add color to the ancestral hall, Zhuge Liang’s people are no longer there, and there are no tourists here to pay homage to Zhuge Liang, so the poet feels sad and sad. The two empty characters "自" and "empty" are perfectly placed.

This land is indeed too quiet. Although there were a few tourists besides me, they couldn't dilute the quiet atmosphere. Du Fu's poem about Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, "The green willows reflect the spring scenery on the steps, and the oriole's sound is heard in the sky through the leaves", which can be a portrayal of this place.
