Poetry appreciation
Red Cliff, an ancient poem that eulogizes 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.
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. "If you don't sell iron, you will recognize it if you wash it." These two sentences mean that the broken Zhan Ji sank in the sand 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.
