The original poem "Red Cliff"-Tang Du Mu
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.

1, the creative background of Chibi
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 looked at the remains of the ancient battlefield and thought of his own experience, which made him feel something.
2. Appreciation of Chibi
This is an epic poem written by the poet hanging on the ancient battlefield of Chibi. It believes that the success or failure of historical figures is accidental. Du Mu's quatrains set off a discussion on the poet's poems. In the 13th year of Jian 'an (208), Battle of Red Cliffs laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries. Zhou Yu commanded Wu Jun, as the main force, and defeated Cao Cao's 800,000 troops with fire attack, becoming a hero in history.
The two women in the poem, Da Qiao and Er Qiao, are not ordinary people, but ladies belonging to the highest class in the ruling class of Soochow. Da Qiao was the wife of Sun Ce, the former leader of Dongwu, and Sun Quan, the leader of Dongwu at that time, while Xiao Qiao was the wife of Zhou Yu, the military commander who led all the land and water armies of Dongwu to fight against Cao Cao. Although they had nothing to do with this campaign, they represented the dignity of Soochow as an independent political entity.
Du Mu also attributed Zhou Yu's victory in Battle of Red Cliffs to the accidental east wind, which is unimaginable. I'm afraid he wrote this way because he is conceited and knows soldiers, and he used historical events to vent his depression in his chest.
