2. The original poem
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.
3. Translation
A broken halberd sank into the underwater sand without erosion. After polishing and cleaning, it was found to be a relic of Battle of Red Cliffs. If the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I am afraid that Cao Cao will win and Er Qiao will be put in Tongquetai.
4. Introduction to the work
Chibi, an ancient poem praising history, seems to mock Zhou Yu's success. The first two sentences of the poem use things to inspire people and lament the deeds of the previous dynasty. The last two sentences say: Battle of Red Cliffs and Zhou Yu attacked by fire. Without the east wind, Wu Dong would have been destroyed, Er Qiao would have been captured, and history would have changed. The conception of the poem is extremely subtle and very attentive.
5. Appreciation of works
This is an epic poem written by the poet hanging on the ancient battlefield of Chibi. Du Mu's quatrains set off a discussion on the poet's poems. 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. "The meaning of these two sentences is that the broken Zhan Ji sank in the sediment and was not eroded. After grinding, he recognized it as a relic of the previous dynasty.
Here, these two descriptions seem dull, but they are uneven. The broken halberd is buried in the sand, pointing out the historical situation here. The broken sand in Zhan Ji has not been eroded, suggesting that time has passed and things have changed.
It was because of the discovery of this rusty "broken halberd" buried at the bottom of the river for more than 600 years that the poet had a lot of thoughts, so he had to grind it out and identify it, and found that it was a weapon left over by Battle of Red Cliffs. In this way, the remains of the former dynasty further aroused the author's imagination and laid a good foundation for the later expression.
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. The last two sentences of the poem say that if the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I'm afraid that Cao Cao will win and Er Qiao will be put in Tongquetai. The last two sentences are arguments.
Battle of Red Cliffs and Zhou Yu were outnumbered by fire. He was able to attack with fire because there was a strong east wind at the decisive moment, so the poet commented on the reasons for the failure of the war.
Only Zhou Lang, the winner at that time, and Dongfeng, the winning factor, were chosen to write, and Dongfeng was the key to this victory, so Dongfeng was placed in a more important position.
However, he didn't describe how Dongfeng helped Zhou Lang win, but wrote from the opposite side: If Dongfeng didn't bring convenience to Zhou Lang this time, the outcome would be transposed and the historical situation would be completely changed.
Therefore, I will write the hypothetical situation after Sun and Liu defeated after the victory. However, it does not directly describe the changes in the political and military situation, but indirectly describes the fate of two famous Wu Dong beauties.
