When using allusions in poetry, we should give priority to conciseness, not dwell on history and only touch on the main points.
Here Du Fu used two quantifiers to sum up Zhuge Liang's achievements: "Three Visits" and "Two Dynasties", and the same words include "Seven Capture Meng Huo" and "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon". The main achievements of this man are described by a quantifier, which is not only comprehensive, but also reflects the author's ability to refine language.
When we mention historical stories, we can also use this summary method for simplicity.
Judging from the poem "Singing with Birds under the Leaves", Du Fu doesn't like orioles who are good at singing, because in his mind, the standard to measure good or bad is not eloquence, but whether he has real talent and practical learning.
A man as resourceful and loyal to the monarch as Zhuge Liang is worthy of respect.
Confucius said that "rhetoric is rare". We can't be boastful people like Huang Li. In order to win the respect of others, we need to practice what we call virtue.
Shu Xiang
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Where is the temple of the famous prime minister? It is in a deep pine forest near the Silk City.
The steps are dotted with green grass in spring, and birds are chirping happily under the leaves.
The third call aggravated his state affairs, and he gave his sincerity to two generations.
But before he conquered, he died, and since then the heroes have been crying on their coats.
Interpretation of vernacular:
Where can I find Zhuge Liang ancestral temple in Wuhou? In the dense cypress forest on the outskirts of Chengdu.
The green grass is reflected on the steps, showing the spring scenery, and the orioles on the trees sing through the branches.
It is believed that the ancestors of the world visited the cottage three times, assisted the founding of the two dynasties, and worked faithfully.
It's a pity that Wei died in the army before he started attacking Wei, which often made heroes of all ages burst into tears!

Creation background
According to Qiu Zhu, Shu Xiang was written by Du Fu in the spring of the first year of Shangyuan (760).
In December of the second year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong (759), Du Fu ended his four-year exile in Qin Zhou and Tonggu (now Chengxian County, Gansu Province) and, with the support of his friends, settled by Huanhua River in Chengdu.
Chengdu used to be the capital of Shu and Han, and there is Zhuge Liang Temple in the northwest of the city, which is called Wuhou Temple.
In the spring of the first year of Shangyuan (760), Tang Suzong visited Zhuge Wuhou Temple and wrote this touching poem.
In the first year of Zhangwu in Shu Han Dynasty (22 1), Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu and appointed Zhuge Liang as prime minister. "Shu Xiang" means the prime minister of Shu Han. This poem entitled "Shu Xiang" was written by Zhuge Liang.
Although Du Fu cherished the political ideal of "being a gentleman, being Yao and Shun", his career was bumpy and his ambition could not be displayed.
When he wrote the poem Shuxiang, the Anshi rebellion had not subsided.
He witnessed the crisis of the country and the loss of life. He volunteered to serve the country and had no choice. Therefore, he admires and respects Zhuge Liang for creating a foundation and saving the current situation.
