A broken halberd sank in the sand at the bottom of the water, but it was not eroded. I took it and cleaned it, and found it was a relic of Battle of Red Cliffs. If it hadn't been for the convenience of Zhou Yu, I'm afraid Cao Cao would have won, and Er Qiao would have been put in a bronze sparrow terrace.
Poetry: Du Mu in Chibi, Tang Dynasty
A broken iron halberd sank into the sand and disappeared, only to find that it was the remnant of Battle of Red Cliffs after grinding and washing. If the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I'm afraid the outcome will be Cao Cao's victory and Er Qiao's detention in Tongquetai.
Extended data 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. The poet watched the remains of the ancient battlefield and expressed his unique views on Battle of Red Cliffs.
Appreciate:
In his poem, the poet didn't speak frankly about the end of the war, but said that "Bronze finches lock Er Qiao in spring". Bronze finch terrace is a place where Cao Cao is arrogant and extravagant, with concubines and geisha locked up. The bronze sparrow terrace here reminds people of Cao Cao's romantic side. It is said that "deep spring" has deepened this romantic charm. Finally, the word "lock" is used to further highlight his meaning of golden house. It is really admirable to write so many stories about the victory and defeat of the war filled with smoke.
