The iron horse cloud sculpture has been away from the dust for a long time, and the high pressure in Liuying and Hanying spring.
The sky is clear and the murderous spirit is on the right side of Tunguan, and the demon star shines on Weibin in the middle of the night.
The king of the country is lying in the sky, and the Central Plains has no choice but to compete with others.
The demon said something like a brocade tent on the elephant bed, and Qiao Zhou became an old minister from then on.
2. Appreciation
The beginning of this poem is powerful. The majestic cavalry of the Shu Han Dynasty, holding high the battle flags painted with bears, tigers and birds of prey, moved northward at an overwhelming speed, shocking the Central Plains. The word "high pressure" is very abstract, but because there are images such as iron horses, cloud sculptures, and willow camps in front of it, it gives people a sense of reality that the army is pressing down on the situation, just like the top of Mount Tai. The allusion "Liuying" compares Zhuge Liang to Zhou Yafu, who was an expert in military management in the early Western Han Dynasty, showing his admiration for him. The third and fourth sentences carry the wind and clouds, and the momentum is pathos. "The sky is clear and murderous" not only points out the crisp autumn season, but also implies that war clouds are thick and the military situation is very urgent. At such a critical moment, disaster befell Zhuge Liang. According to legend, when Zhuge Liang died, a big star with "red horns" fell south of the Wei River at night. The word "demon star" has a clear emotional color, expressing the poet's deep regret for Zhuge Liang's death.
The first four sentences are all about scenery, jumping and flying between lines of poetry. The first couplet writes spring, and the chin couplet jumps to write autumn. The third sentence writes daytime, and the fourth sentence writes nighttime. With just a few sets of typical scenes, it summarizes Zhuge Liang's last hundred or so days of strategizing and failing to die. It is generous and tragic, profound and moving, with ups and downs and swaying scenes. Wen Tingyun's poems focus on side beauty, but this poem is distinguished by its strong character and strength, which is indeed rare. The last four sentences are purely argumentative, based on historical facts, sad and pertinent.
Zhuge Liang tried his best to be loyal and wise, but he could not wake up Liu Chan from his stupor. His enlightenment and persuasion to Liu Chan were of no use. The word "empty" contains endless emotions. "Not because of people" corresponds to "the Lord of empty mistakes". As the Prime Minister, Zhuge Liang devoted himself wholeheartedly. However, the current situation made it difficult for him to conquer the Central Plains from the north and unify China. The poet was deeply saddened by this. As soon as Zhuge Liang died, the power of the Shu Han Dynasty declined. But the statue of Zhuge Liang enshrined in the temple has nothing to say and nothing to do. This is what the poet started from the Zhuge Liang Temple in Wuzhangyuan in front of him. Qiao Zhou was the favored minister of the Queen of Shu after Zhuge Liang's death. Under his instigation, the Queen of Shu surrendered to Wei. The word "Old Minister" was originally Du Fu's praise of Zhuge Liang: "The two dynasties opened up the hearts of the old ministers" ("Shu Prime Minister"). When used here, it is very ironic. The poet secretly compared Qiao Zhou's mistake of surrendering the country to Wei with Zhuge Liang's restoration of the world and his support of the emperor. Readers can naturally imagine the mediocrity of the latter emperor and the despicability of Qiao Zhou. The poet's "cryptic" technique achieved a stronger effect than scolding.
The whole poem is profound in content and melancholy in emotion. The first half is based on virtual reality, reproducing the real historical picture from the virtual scene; the second half is a mixture of narrative and discussion, but it is different from ordinary abstract discussions. It illustrates the meaning of praise and blame with historical facts. The comparison between Qiao Zhou and Zhuge Liang at the end further shows that Zhuge Liang's unique position is closely related to the safety of Shu, and also deepens the readers' admiration for Zhuge Liang.

5. Background
This is an epic poem. The title of the poem indicates that this poem was written by the poet in memory of Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, when he passed by Wuzhangyuan. According to the "Three Kingdoms·Shu Shu_·Zhuge Liang Biography_": In the spring of 234 AD (the twelfth year of Jianxing after the Shu-Han Dynasty), Zhuge Liang led his troops to attack Wei, stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan, and held a stalemate with the Wei army on the south bank of the Wei River for more than 100 days. . In August, he died of illness in the army. A generation's famous figures have unfulfilled ambitions, which often arouses endless emotion from future generations. Du Fu once wrote about this: "Died before leaving the army, which always makes the hero burst into tears!" ("Prime Minister of Shu") Wen Tingyun also wrote this poem out of this regretful mood when he passed by the Zhuge Liang Temple in Wuzhangyuan. poetry.
