Profound meaning: This sentence describes the hypothetical situation after the victory of Cao's army and the defeat of Sun and Liu. It uses the fate that two famous Soochow beauties will suffer to describe the changes in the political and military situation.
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 platform 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.
From Du Mu's "Red Cliff" in the Tang Dynasty, the original text is:
The broken halberd sinks in the sand and the iron is not sold, but it will be washed and washed to recognize the previous dynasty.
The east wind does not agree with Zhou Lang, and Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply.
Translation:
A broken iron halberd sank in the sand at the bottom of the water and was not 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.
Extended information
Creative background:
This poem is about the poet passing through the famous ancient battlefield of Chibi (now Chiji Mountain in the southwest of Wuchang County, Hubei Province). It was written with feelings about the success and failure of the heroes in the Three Kingdoms era. The poet admired the relics of the ancient battlefield and thought of his own experience, and expressed his feelings.
Appreciation of the main theme:
From an artistic point of view, the poet Du Mu used the technique of pretending to be true in the first two sentences, and used the technique of seeing the big from the small in the last two sentences of the poem. When writing about the victory or defeat of the war, the author did not point out the truth. Instead, he used the fate of two women with special identities, Xiao Qiao, to express the imagined ending of Wu's defeat in the Middle East.
The author is inspired by the objects and chants the history, pointing out that the Battle of Chibi is related to the survival of the country and the safety of the country; at the same time, he implies that his great ambitions are not reused, and he sees the big from the small.
