Su Dongpo's Poems of Nostalgia in Chibi

Nostalgia for the past —— Song Sushi

The surging river flows eastward, and those heroes of the past are gone forever.

Old camp west, people say it's the war of the Three Kingdoms, Battle of Red Cliffs.

The steep rock wall, like thunder waves lapping against the river bank, waves like rolling up thousands of snow.

The majestic rivers and mountains are picturesque, and many heroes emerge at once.

Looking back on Zhou Yu's spring breeze era, young and beautiful Joe just married him, and he was full of heroic spirit.

A white figure with a feather fan came face to face, and while talking and laughing, the enemy warships burned to ashes.

I am wandering in the battlefield today. I feel a feeling heart and give birth to white hair prematurely.

Life is like a dream, sprinkle a glass of wine to pay tribute to the bright moon on the river.

The water of the great river keeps flowing eastward, scouring the romantic figures of the ages. In the westernmost part of the ancient battlefield, Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms defeated Chibi in Cao Jun. Rocky Mountain is high on all sides, with cliffs like clouds on both sides. The stormy waves are beating violently on the other side, and the rolling waves are like thousands of snow in winter. Jiangshan is so beautiful and picturesque that many heroes have emerged at one time.

Looking back on the famous Yu character, Xiao Qiao has just become his wife, personable and dashing. Wearing a black silk scarf and holding a feather fan, 800,000 Cao Jun seemed to be wiped out.

Now I am in the ancient battlefield, and I wander in the past. Ironically, I have such nostalgia and tenderness that my temple is as gray as aging before I get old. Life is like a hazy dream. Let's drink to the eternal moon.

Creation background

This poem was written by Su Shi 1082 (Song Shenzong Yuanfeng five years) when he lived in Huangzhou. At that time, the author was 47 years old and was demoted to Huangzhou for more than two years because of Wutai poetry case. Su Shi was demoted for satirizing the new law in his poems and was condemned by Luo Zhi, a new bureaucrat. He has endless worries in his heart, so he travels around to relax.

I happened to come to Chibi (Biji) outside Huangzhou City. The magnificent scenery here touched the author greatly, which made the author sigh that time flies while recalling Zhou Yu's infinite scenery during the Three Kingdoms period, so he wrote this word.

Through the description of the magnificent scenery on the river in the moonlight night, the poem pays tribute to the ancient battlefield, cherishes the talent, tolerance and merits of romantic figures, expresses the author's grief and indignation in a tortuous way, and also shows the author's broad-minded concern for history and life.

The whole poem is lyrical in ancient times, vigorous and desolate, magnificent, vigorous in brushwork and broad in realm. It integrates scenery writing, history chanting and lyric, giving people an artistic power that shocks the soul. It was once known as "the swan song of ancient and modern times".
