Shuchengxiang temple
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!
From then on, the heroes cried on their coats, but before he conquered, he was dead.
Interpretation of poetry
Where should I find the ancestral temple of the Prime Minister? Outside Jinguan City, cypress trees are flourishing there. The green grass reflects the stone steps in spring, and the oriole moves through the leaves with a nice voice. Three visits to Maolu frequently discussed the world's major plans, and the two dynasties explored and assisted the old ministers to do their best. He died before he won the final victory, which often made later heroes cry.
Translation:
Where can I find Zhuge Liang ancestral hall 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!
