The iron is not for sale,
Learn from the past.
East wind is not convenient for Zhou Lang,
Bronze sparrow lock Er Qiao Spring.
Second, the vernacular translation
A broken halberd sank into the underwater sand without erosion. After polishing and cleaning, it was found to be a relic of 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.
Third, the source
Collected works of Fan Chuan, Tara of Tang Dynasty.
Extended information 1. Writing background
This poem was written by the poet after passing through the famous ancient battlefield Chibi (now Chiji Mountain in the southwest of Wuchang County, Hubei Province) and feeling the success or failure of heroes in the Three Kingdoms period. Battle of Red Cliffs, which took place in October of the 13th year of Jian 'an (2008) of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, was a major battle that played a decisive role in the historical situation of the Three Kingdoms.
As a result, Sun and Liu were defeated, and Zhou Yu, the 34-year-old commander-in-chief of Sun Wu, was the most important person in this battle. The poet watched the remains of the ancient battlefield and expressed his unique views on Battle of Red Cliffs.
Second, appreciate
Chibi is a seven-character quatrain written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Poets are interested in things and praise history with things, pointing out that Battle of Red Cliffs is related to the survival of the country and social security; At the same time, it implies that you are ambitious and will not be reused.
"If you don't sell iron, you will recognize it if you wash it." These two sentences mean that the broken Zhan Ji sank in the sand and was not 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.
"Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, and Tongque Chunsuo Er Qiao." These last two familiar words mean that if Dongfeng hadn't helped Zhou Yu, Tongquetai would have locked Er Qiao in Dongwu.
Commenting on the reasons for the success or failure of this war, the poet only chose the winner at that time-Zhou Lang and his winning factor-Dongfeng to write, and because of the key to this victory, he finally had to return to Dongfeng, so he put Dongfeng in a more important position. But he didn't describe how Dongfeng helped Zhou Lang win from the front, but put pen to paper from the opposite side.
If the east wind does not bring convenience to Zhou Lang, the winners and losers will be translocated and the historical situation will be completely changed. Therefore, I will write the hypothetical situation after Sun and Liu defeated after the victory. However, it does not directly describe the changes in the political and military situation, but only indirectly depicts the fate that two famous Wu Dong beauties will bear.
