Su Dongpo’s Chibi Nostalgia Complete Poems

Su Dongpo's complete poem of Chibi Nostalgia:

Nian Nujiao·Chibi Nostalgia

Su Shi Song Dynasty

The great river goes eastward, and the waves are washed away, and the eternity A romantic figure.

On the west side of the fortress, the humane road is Chibi, Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms.

Rocks pierced through the sky, stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up.

The country is picturesque, and there are so many heroes at one time.

I think back to Gong Jin’s time, when Xiao Qiao got married for the first time and looked majestic and handsome.

Feather fans and silk scarves, while talking and laughing, the boats and oars disappeared into ashes.

My motherland wanders in my mind, I should laugh at my passion, and I will be born early.

Life is like a dream, a statue returns to the moon.

Translation?

The water of the river is rolling and flowing eastward, sweeping away all the romantic figures of the ages. Heroes of the ages. To the west of the old fortress, people say it is the red cliff where Zhou Yu defeated Cao's army in the Three Kingdoms. Steep stone walls towered into the sky, thunderous waves crashed against the river bank, and the waves stirred up like thousands of piles of white snow.

The majestic mountains and rivers are as beautiful as pictures, and many heroes emerged in one time. I recall that Zhou Yu was very proud of his youth, and Xiao Qiao, the most beautiful woman, had just married him, and he was full of heroism and heroic spirit. With a hand-held feather fan and a silk scarf on his head, he was joking and chatting calmly and casually, while 800,000 Cao Cao's troops were wiped out like ashes. Today, I am wandering around the battlefield of those years. It is ridiculous that I am sentimental and have prematurely gray hair. Life is like a dream, raise your wine glass to pay homage to this eternal bright moon.
