The poet described Cao Cao's arrogance after his victory and Wu Dong's humiliation after his defeat in the case of "the east wind is not as convenient as Zhou Lang" with a poem like "Tongque Terrace locks Er Qiao in spring", which is an extremely powerful contrast. It not only sets off the hero with beauty, but also reflects Zhou Lang in the previous sentence, showing more affection. Poetry creation must use image thinking, and image language is the direct reality of image thinking. Observing life with thinking in images and creatively reflecting life are the life of poetry.
However, Du Mu attributed Zhou Yu's victory in Battle of Red Cliffs to the accidental east wind, which is unimaginable. I'm afraid he wrote this way because he is conceited and knows soldiers, and he used historical events to vent his depression in his chest. It also implies Ruan Ji's lament that "there was no hero in the battlefield of Guangwu, and his son became famous", but the text is very vague and not good-looking.
Original poem:
Chibi Tang Dynasty: Du Mu
A broken iron halberd sank into the sand and disappeared, only to find that it was the remnant of Battle of Red Cliffs after grinding and washing.
If the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I'm afraid the outcome will be Cao Cao's victory and Er Qiao's detention in Tongquetai.
Precautions:
1. Broken halberd: Broken halberd. Ji, an ancient weapon.
2. Pin: Pin corrosion.
Step 3 pick it up.
4. Grinding and washing: polishing and washing.
5, recognize the former dynasty: recognize that Ji is the relic of defeating Cao.
6. Dongfeng: refers to a battle during the Three Kingdoms period-burning Chibi.
7. Zhou Lang: Zhou Yu, whose name is Gong Jin, was very famous when she was young, almost like Zhou Lang. Later, he served as the commander-in-chief of Wujun and participated in Battle of Red Cliffs, which was the main figure in this campaign.
8. Bronze sparrow: The bronze sparrow terrace built by Cao Cao in Linzhang County, Hebei Province today. There is a big bronze sparrow terrace on the roof, and concubines and prostitutes live on the stage, which is Cao Cao's playground for the next year.
9. Er Qiao: Two daughters of Duke Qiao of Dongwu, one married Sun Ce (the younger brother of Sun Quan), a former monarch, named Da Qiao, and the other married Zhou Yu, a military commander, named Xiao Qiao, collectively known as "Er Qiao".
Explanation:
A broken halberd (an ancient weapon) sank in the sand at the bottom of the water and was not eroded. After grinding and washing, it was found to be left over from Battle of Red Cliffs.
If the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I am afraid that Cao Cao will win and Er Qiao will be put in Tongquetai.
About the author:
Du Mu (803- 852) was born in Fanchuan, Mu Zhi, Han nationality, Jingzhao Wannian (now Xi, Shaanxi). Du Mu was an outstanding poet and essayist in Tang Dynasty, the grandson of Du You, the prime minister, and the son of Du You.
Extended data:
At the beginning of the poem, an ancient style is used to lament the people, things and things of the previous dynasty. Broken Zhan Ji sank into the sand without being eroded. After grinding, he recognized it as a relic of the previous dynasty. Here, these two descriptions seem dull, but they are uneven. The broken halberd is buried in the sand, pointing out the historical situation here.
The broken sand in Zhan Ji has not been eroded, suggesting that time has passed and things have changed. It was because of the discovery of this rusty "broken halberd" buried at the bottom of the river for more than 600 years that the poet had a lot of thoughts, so he had to grind it out and identify it, and found that it was a weapon left over by Battle of Red Cliffs. In this way, the remains of the former dynasty further aroused the author's imagination and laid a good foundation for the later expression.
What would have happened if Dongfeng hadn't helped Zhou Yu? The poet did not speak frankly about the end of the war. But "Tongquetai locks Er Qiao in spring". Tongquetai is Cao Cao's luxurious and dissipated place, where concubines and geisha are kept. The bronze sparrow terrace here reminds people of Cao Cao's romantic side. It is said that "deep spring" has deepened this romantic charm. Finally, the word "lock" is used to further highlight his meaning of golden house. Write the victory and defeat of the war filled with smoke so implicitly.
