The last sentence takes care of the beginning, three sentences take care of two sentences. In terms of content, it is not only nostalgia, but also expression, affection in love and intention outside words, which is unique in quatrains.
works appreciation
Nostalgia is a dialogue between man and history. After Du Fu entered Shu, he had a special liking for Zhuge Liang's ability to help the world. This is an ancient poem he wrote about Zhuge Liang's relics shortly after he arrived in Kuizhou (now fengjie county, Chongqing). Biography of the Three Kingdoms Zhuge Liang said that the master "deduced the art of war and made an eight-array map", but there were different opinions about the site.
Eight Arrays on the beach of the Yangtze River in the south of Yong 'an Palace in fengjie county are especially famous for this poem by Du Fu. In the poem, Zhuge Liang made great contributions to the establishment of Shu in the struggle to divide Wei Shuwu into three parts. Therefore, his "Eight Arrays of the Yangtze River Beach" made his reputation even more prominent.
Eight-array diagram is a battle array composed of eight formations: sky, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake. On the beach of the Yangtze River, there are sixty-four piles of stones. When the summer floods, these stone piles did not move, so there was the sentence "When the sea changes, the stone stands as sad as it is", which also symbolizes Zhuge Liang's loyalty and eternal reputation.
However, leaving the Eight Arrays here as a rescue measure for Liu Bei's failure to conquer Wu does not conform to Zhuge Liang's strategic thought of resisting Wei with Wu, so it is not only a historical witness of Zhuge Liang's fame, but also a historical regret that he failed to complete the great cause of reunification. The sentence "He never conquered the State of Wu" has different interpretations due to the ambiguity of Chinese characters.
"Dongpo Zhi Lin" records that Su Shi dreamed of Du Fu and said to him: "People often misunderstand my poem" Eight Arrays "and think that my ancestors (Liu Bei) and Wuhou (Zhuge Liang) want revenge, so they can't destroy Wu. I mean, Wu and Shu are places of lips and teeth, so it is not appropriate to take pictures. Take Shu, Shu has swallowed Wu. I hate this. "
Du Fu thought about Zhuge Liang's fame and grudges with the help of eight arrays, and Su Shi interpreted the mystery in Du Fu's thinking with the help of dreams. Both of them are exploring a "flawed glory" in history.
