From: Shu Fu [Tang Dynasty]
Where is the temple of the famous prime minister in a 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.
Where can I find Zhuge Liang's ancestral temple 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. In order to unify the world, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage, consulted Zhuge Liang, and assisted the old ministers of two generations of monarchs to be loyal. Unfortunately, he died before he won the final victory, which often makes future heroes feel tears in their skirts!
Appreciating this poem is divided into two parts. The first four sentences are based on the ancestral temple of the Prime Minister, which reflects the reality from the description of the scenery and reveals the poet's concern for the country and the people. The last four sentences praise the talent of the Prime Minister and cherish the memory of the sages from historical recollection, which contain many expectations and longings for the destiny of the motherland. The whole poem has profound implications and profound sustenance, resulting in a deep and sad artistic conception.
In a word, this seven laws discourse is very simple, but it has a large capacity and a high degree of generalization. In just 56 words, it tells the story of Zhuge Liang's life and shows readers an immortal Zhuge Liang. When patriots and ordinary readers of later generations recited this poem, they felt reverence for Zhuge Liang. Especially when I read the sentence "But before he conquered, he was dead, and the heroes cried on their coats", I couldn't help crying.
