It means: A broken iron halberd sank in the sand at the bottom of the water and has not been eroded. After polishing and washing it, I found that it was a relic from the Battle of Chibi. If Dongfeng did not provide Zhou Yu with convenience, Cao Cao would probably win and Er Qiao would be imprisoned in Tongque Terrace.
The previous sentence is that the east wind is not in harmony with Zhou Lang.
This sentence comes from "Red Cliff" by Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty.
Original text:
The broken halberd sinks into the sand and the iron is not sold, but it will be washed away to recognize the past.
The east wind does not agree with Zhou Lang, and Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply.
Literary Appreciation:
"A broken halberd sinks in the sand, but the iron is not sold, and it will be washed and washed to recognize the former dynasty." These two sentences mean that the broken halberd sank in the sand and merged. It had not been destroyed. After polishing it, I recognized it as a relic from the previous dynasty. Here, these two descriptions seem plain but are actually unfair. There are broken halberds buried in the sand, pointing out the historical events that took place here. The halberd was broken and sunk in the sand but was not destroyed, implying the sense that time has passed and things have changed.
It was the discovery of this rusty "broken halberd" that had been buried at the bottom of the river for more than 600 years that made the poet think a lot, so he wanted to clean it up and identify it. It was discovered that it was a weapon left over from the Battle of Chibi. In this way, the relics of the previous dynasty further aroused the author's imaginative thoughts, which laid a good foundation for the subsequent writing.
"The east wind did not help Zhou Yu, and the bronze bird was locked in the spring." These two lines have been passed down for a long time, which means that if the east wind did not help Zhou Yu, then the bronze bird would The station will deeply lock Soochow Erqiao. This involves the famous Battle of Chibi in history.
In the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu mainly used fire attacks to defeat enemies who far outnumbered his own side, and he was able to use fire attacks because a strong east wind happened to blow at the moment of the decisive battle. , so when the poet commented on the reasons for the success or failure of this war, he only chose the victor at that time - Zhou Lang and the factor he relied on to win - Dongfeng to write about it. Moreover, because the key to this victory had to be attributed to Dongfeng in the end, he also wrote Dongfeng is placed in a more important position.
But he did not describe how Dongfeng helped Zhou Lang win the victory from the front, but wrote from the negative side: If Dongfeng does not give Zhou Lang convenience this time, then the winning and losing sides will change positions. The historical situation will be completely changed. Therefore, I then wrote about the hypothetical situation after the victory of Cao's army and the defeat of Sun and Liu.
But it does not directly describe the changes in the political and military situation, but only indirectly describes the fate of two famous Soochow beauties. If Cao Cao becomes the winner, then Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao will inevitably be snatched away and locked up on the Tongque Tower for his enjoyment.
The Bronze Bird Terrace here shows the romantic side of Cao Cao, and the word "spring deep" deepens the romantic charm. Finally, the word "lock" is used to further highlight the meaning of the golden house hiding the beauty. . The victory and defeat of the war filled with smoke are very subtle.
