Du Fu [Tang Dynasty]
Where is the temple of the famous prime minister in a 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.

Where can I find Zhuge Liang ancestral hall 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.
In order to unify the world, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage, consulted Zhuge Liang, and assisted the old ministers of two generations of monarchs to be loyal.
Unfortunately, he died before he won the final victory, which often makes future heroes feel tears in their skirts!
To annotate ...

Prime Minister's Temple: namely Zhuge Wuhou Temple, which was first built in Cheng, Jin and Zhou Dynasties.
Jinguancheng: another name for Chengdu.
Cypress (bǐ i) dense: cypress trees are lush and dense.
Spring grass is dyed, and orioles are empty (H m 40): These two sentences describe the scenery in the temple. Du Fu attached great importance to Zhuge Liang. He didn't come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but the words "self" and "emptiness" are affectionate. It means that the green grass reflects the steps, but it is spring scenery; The oriole leaves the leaf, but it makes a nice sound in the air. He has no intention of enjoying or listening. Because the people he worships can't see it anymore. Empty: white.
Diligent care for the world: Liu Bei took care of Mao Lu to unify the world and asked Zhuge Liang for advice. This is a compliment to the genius vision shown in the countermeasures. Frequent annoyance or "frequent", many times.

Dynasty: Liu Bei, Liu Chan and his son. Open: create. Economy: Help.
But before he conquered, he died, and the heroes cried on their coats (jρn): He died before he won the final victory, which often made the heroes of later generations cry. It refers to Zhuge Liang's many expeditions to attack Wei, but he failed to win. Shu Jianxing died in Wuzhangyuan (now southeast of Qishan, Shaanxi) in the 12th year (234).
