It means that the broken halberd sank in the sand, and it is described as a great failure.
Tang Du Mu's poem on Chibi

learn from the past.
Dongfeng is not convenient for Zhou Lang.
Bronze finches lock Er Qiao in the spring.
Poetry translation:
A broken halberd buried deep in the sand, although it lasted for a long time, was not completely corroded. I picked it up, cleaned it, and recognized it as a relic of Battle of Red Cliffs in the Three Kingdoms. If Dongfeng hadn't helped Zhou Yu win the victory of burning Cao Jun, I'm afraid Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the national colors of Wu, would have been confined to Cao Cao's bronze sparrow terrace.
