"The Three Kingdoms, divided, have been praised by his greatness and eight fortresses are built on his reputation". The first sentence is written from the general aspect, saying that Zhuge Liang made the most outstanding achievements in the process of establishing the situation that Wei Shuwu was divided into three parts. Of course, there are many factors for the coexistence of the three countries, and Zhuge Liang's assistance to Liu Bei in establishing the foundation of Shu from scratch should be said to be one of the important reasons. Du Fu's highly generalized praise objectively reflected the historical truth of the Three Kingdoms period. The second sentence is written from a specific aspect, saying that Zhuge Liang created an eight-array map to make him more famous. The ancients praised this point repeatedly. For example, the inscription of Wuhou Temple in Chengdu reads: "The combination of economy and strategy is not rewarded, and the layout is sincere." "The river is at war, the picture is in the column, and there is glory in the industry." Du Fu's poems praised Zhuge Liang's military achievements more intensively and concisely.
Creation background
In the summer of the first year of Dali in Tang Daizong (766), Du Fu moved to Kuizhou. There is Wuhou Temple in Kuizhou, and there is an eight-array map by the river. It is said that Zhuge Liang set it on the beach in Kuizhou during the Three Kingdoms period. Du Fu, who has always admired Zhuge Liang, used a lot of pen and ink to record the monument and express his feelings. Eight arrays diagram is one of them.
