Original poem:
Shuchengxiang temple

Where is the temple of the famous prime minister? It is in a deep pine forest near the Silk City.
The steps are dotted with green grass in spring, and birds are chirping happily under the leaves.
The third call aggravated his state affairs, and he gave his sincerity to two generations.
But before he conquered, he died, and since then the heroes have been crying on their coats.
Explanation:
Where can I find Zhuge Liang ancestral temple in Wuhou? In the dense cypress forest on the outskirts of Chengdu.
The green grass is reflected on the steps, showing the spring scenery, and the orioles on the trees sing through the branches.
It is believed that the ancestors of the world visited the cottage three times, assisted the founding of the two dynasties, and worked faithfully.
It's a pity that Wei died in the army before he started attacking Wei, which often made heroes of all ages burst into tears!

Extended data
This seven-melody book expresses the poet's reverence for Zhuge Liang's wisdom and virtue and his unfinished mood. The whole collection of poems combines emotion, scenery and discussion, which not only comments on history, but also contains reality.
This poem is divided into two parts. The first four sentences pay tribute to the ancestral temple of the Prime Minister, which reflects the reality from the description of the scenery and reveals the poet's concern for the country and the people; The last four sentences praise the talent of the Prime Minister and cherish the memory of the sages from historical recollection, which contain many expectations and longings for the destiny of the motherland. The whole poem has profound implications and profound sustenance, resulting in a deep and sad artistic conception.
In artistic expression, questions are answered by themselves, facts are sketched, scenes are blended, narration and discussion are combined, the structure is seamless, the levels are agitated, and there is a language charm of refining words and cutting sentences and harmonious tone, which makes people sigh and have endless aftertaste. Du Fu's poems are called "gloomy and frustrated", and the book is a typical representative.
Creative background:
According to Qiu's note, Shu Xiang was written by Du Fu in the spring of the first year of Shangyuan (AD 760). In December 759 (the second year of Tang Suzong), Du Fu ended his wandering life and came to Chengdu, where he settled by the Huanhua River. In the spring of 760 AD, I visited Zhuge Wuhou Temple and wrote this touching poem.
The poet's achievements:
In terms of meter, Du Fu's poems are characterized by refined words and neat antithesis, which conforms to the "architectural beauty" of China's poems. For example, "the wind blows in the wide sky, apes crow and birds crow, the blue lake and white sand return to their nests, the leaves fall like waterfalls, and I see the long river rolling in", which is the embodiment of Du Fu's superb diction and antithesis. In addition, Du Fu also has many innovations in genre, such as his creativity in the Five-Seven Laws and his uniqueness in literary creation.
