The result is three parts of the country, and it is called the Eight Formations. It was written by Du Fu.
The original text is as follows:
The success covers three parts of the country, and it is called the Eight Formations. The stone in the river will not turn, and the regret will be swallowed up by Wu. ——(Tang Dynasty) Du Fu's "Eight Formations"
The translation is as follows:
When the Three Kingdoms stood in harmony, Kong Ming's contribution was the most outstanding, and the Bagua Formation he created has become famous throughout the ages. Despite the impact of the river current, the stone remained the same. The thousand-year regret was due to Liu Bei's mistake in trying to annex Wu.
Appreciation is as follows:
The first two lines of the poem are written in antithetical lines, "Three Kingdoms" versus "Eight Formations", with overall achievements versus the military. The contribution appears to be exquisite, neat and natural. In terms of structure, the first sentence is mentioned at the beginning and gets straight to the point; the second sentence points out the title of the poem, further praising the achievements, and at the same time paving the way for the following to pay tribute to the relics.
Introduction and life story of Du Fu:
Introduction:
Du Fu (February 12, 712-770), also known as Zimei, also known as Shaoling Ye Lao, a great realist poet in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Bai are collectively known as "Li Du". Born in Gong County, Henan, originally from Xiangyang, Hubei. In order to distinguish them from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, known as "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also collectively known as "Big Li Du", and Du Fu is often called "Old Du".
Life story:
When Du Fu was a boy, he traveled to Wuyue and Qi and Zhao successively, during which time he went to Luoyang to take the imperial examination but failed. After the age of thirty-five, he first took the examination in Chang'an and failed; later he presented gifts to the emperor and nobles. Unable to achieve his goals in officialdom, he witnessed the extravagance and social crisis of the upper class society in the Tang Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out and Tongguan fell. Du Fu traveled to many places.
In the second year of Qianyuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he escaped the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the people and national affairs.
Du Fu created famous works such as "Ascend the High", "Spring Look", "Northern Expedition", "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". Although Du Fu is a realist poet, he also has a wild and uninhibited side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroic spirit from his famous work "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking".
