Rocks pierced through the air, stormy waves crashed onto 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.

Nian Nujiao·Chibi Nostalgia
Author Su Shi? Dynasty Song Dynasty
The great river goes eastward, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic figures of the ages .
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 were 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 burned the powerful enemy's warship to ashes while joking and chatting calmly and elegantly. Today, I am wandering around the battlefield of those years. It is ridiculous that I am sentimental and have a head full of gray hair prematurely. Life is like a dream, raise your wine glass to pay homage to this eternal bright moon.
Full Text Appreciation
This poem is nostalgic and lyrical, writing that I have exhausted my ambition and turned to focus on history and life with a broad-minded heart. The upper column mainly describes the natural scenery of Chibiji with wind and waves. The artistic conception is broad and broad, and the emotion is vaguely deep. When you start writing, you can lift the clouds vigorously, and you can lift powerfully. Combining the mighty rivers and people through the ages, he writes down the lines.
Since all the great figures of the ages have been wiped out by the waves, wouldn’t it be sad to have only one of them? However, Su Shi had other insights: Since it is inevitable for romantic figures throughout the ages to be like this, then there is no need to lament when one's own glory, disgrace, and poverty are so great! Since human beings have reached the same destination through such different paths, it would be too pedantic to be obsessed with temporary fame. The next two sentences cut into the nostalgic theme and talk specifically about the events of Red Cliff in the Three Kingdoms. The words "Humanity is" are used very appropriately. The hometown of the Battle of Red Cliff is highly controversial. One theory is that it was changed to Chibi City in present-day Puqi County, Hubei Province. But today there are four places in Hubei Province with the same name as Chibi, and the other three are near Huanggang, Wuchang, and Hanyang. The place Su Shi visited was Huanggang Chibi. He seemed not sure, so he used the words "humanity is" to elicit the following discussion.
The following five sentences of "Rocks" describe the spectacular scene of the surging river. Among them, the verbs such as "wear", "shoot" and "roll" are used vividly. "The country is picturesque" is a summary sentence for describing scenery. "How many heroes at a time" transitions from scenery to personnel.
The key point Su Shi wanted to write was "Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms", so the whole story was triggered by Zhou Lang. Change the first five sentences to write about the Chibi War. Similar to Zhou Yu's laughter and debate, the author describes such a vigorous war with ease and ease.
From the beginning of the sentence "a romantic figure through the ages" to "how many heroes in one moment" and then to "reminiscing about Gong Jin's time", the line of sight kept narrowing, and finally focused on Zhou Yu. However, when writing about Zhou Yu, we do not write about his great wisdom and courage, but only about his elegant and elegant demeanor.
People who don't pay attention may easily regard "Feather Fan Lun scarf" as a nickname for Zhuge Liang, because Zhuge Liang's attire is famous for his feather fan Lun scarf. But during the Three Kingdoms period, this was the usual attire of Confucian generals. People in the Song Dynasty also often use "feather fan" to refer to Zhou Yu, such as Dai's retro poem "Red Cliff": "Thousands of years have passed since Zhou Gongjin, as he is now. The heroic wind waves the feather fan, and the fierce fire breaks the building and the ship."
Su Shi It is said here that Zhou Yu is elegant and calm, but his emotions are complicated. The two sentences "homeland" were transferred from Zhou Lang to himself. Zhou Yu was thirty-four years old when he defeated Cao Cao, while Su Shi was forty-seven when he wrote this poem. Confucius once said: "If someone is forty or fifty and is unknown, it is nothing to be afraid of." From Zhou Yu's youth and promise, Su Shi thought of his own ups and downs, so he wrote the sentence "Sentimental people should laugh at me", which seems to be light. It's light, but its meaning is gloomy. But Su Shi is Su Shi after all. He is not a miserable Confucian, but a wise man who has overcome the favor and disgrace in the world. Therefore, after he realized his sorrow, he did not indulge in the sea of ??misery and self-destruction like Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but placed Zhou Yu and himself in the entire history of the country to observe. In Su Shi's view, what happened to Zhou Yu, who was chic, calm and world-famous back then? Wasn't he also wiped out by the waves? With this comparison, Su Shi transcended from his sorrow. "Everywhere in life, we know the similarities. It should be like a flying star stepping on snowy mud. Occasionally, there are fingers and claws left on the mud, and Hongfei is counting things" ("He Zi Nostalgia from Mianchi"). Therefore, after Su Shi made some comparisons with Zhou Yu, although he also saw that his political achievements were not comparable to Zhou Yu's, when it came to the development laws and universal destiny of the entire human race, there was actually no big difference between the two. With such deep thinking, he came to the conclusion of the poem, "Life is like a dream, and a statue is like a moon in the river." As he said in the poem "Moon over the Xijiang River": "The world is a big dream, and life has several cool autumns." Negativity and pessimism are not the true meaning of life, but transcendence and soaring are the song of life. Since everything in the world seems like a dream, why not sprinkle the wine in the reflection of the bright moon in the center of the river, get rid of the depression, enjoy the infinite from the limited, and let the spirit be free. His "Red Cliff Ode" written at the same time makes this statement more clear and conclusive: "Only the cool breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains can be heard by the ears and become sounds, and the eyes can see them and become colors. There is no restriction on taking them and using them without restriction. "Exhaustion is the endless treasure of the Creator, and it is the perfect fit between me and my son." This kind of transcendental and far-sighted text is like a replica of the thoughts of "Zhuangzi's Theory of Equality of Things". But Zhuangzi used this to avoid reality, and Su Shi used this to transcend reality.
The Huangzhou years were a period when Su Shi's thoughts changed, and it was also a period when he continued to become mature and wise. He used this to preserve his calm personality and maintain his sincere spirit. This poem "Niannujiao" and several poems written in the same period all reveal clues to us.
Since its publication, this word has experienced two completely different fates. People who praised it, such as Hu Zai's "Tiaoxi Yuyincong Hua", called it "a superb semantic meaning, a true masterpiece of ancient and modern times." Those who derogated him were like what Yu Wenbao said in "Blowing the Sword": "Dongpo was in Yutang, and there was a minister who was good at praising him. He asked: 'How is my poetry compared to Liu Qi?' He replied: 'Liu Lang's poetry can only be combined with Qi Qi'. Eight girls, holding a red tooth board, sang "The dawn wind wanes on the bank of the willows". The bachelor's poem required a big man from Guanxi to sing "The Great River Goes East". The singing style distinguishes the two styles of poetry between Liu and Su, but it also contains a mockery of Su's poetry that deviates from the traditional style of poetry. In the Qing Dynasty, some people believed that the tone of this word was "unqualified" (Ding Shaoyi's "Tingqiu Shengguan Ci Hua"), and Zhu Yizun's "Ci Zong" added detailed dialectics, which can be said to be critical.
"Niannujiao" was written by Su Shi after he was demoted to Huangzhou. Su Shi became a Jinshi at the age of 21. Before the age of 30, he spent most of his time living in a study room. His career was bumpy, with political ups and downs in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the age of 43 (the second year of Yuanfeng), he was arrested and imprisoned for writing a poem that satirized the new law. After he was released from prison, he was demoted to the deputy envoy of Huangzhou Tuanlian.
This was a sinecure. He cultivated fields in the old city camp, traveled and visited ancient times, and was politically frustrated, which fostered his thoughts and emotions of escaping from reality and being underappreciated. However, due to his open-minded mind, he was inspired by the majestic country of the motherland and historical figures. , used the scenery to express emotions, and wrote a series of well-known poems, of which this word is the representative.
The lyrics of "Niannujiao" are divided into upper and lower parts. The upper palace chants about Red Cliff, the lower palace cherishes Zhou Yu, and hurts oneself by remembering the past, and ends with one's own emotion. The author is nostalgic for the past, thinking about the heroes of ancient times, and uses the heroic deeds praised in ancient times to think about the setbacks he has experienced. Unable to make achievements and achieve great ambitions, his lyrics express his inner sorrow and anger.
Shangque chants about Red Cliff, focusing on describing the scenery to set off the description of the characters. The first three sentences not only describe the momentum of Dajiang, but also summarize all the heroes through the ages, expressing the yearning for heroes. Under the guise of "humanity is" to introduce the character being chanted. The use of words such as "chaos", "piercing", "surprised", "shooting" and "volume" exquisitely and uniquely outlines the dangerous situation of the ancient battlefield and writes its majestic and magnificent scenes, thus creating a memorable scene for the Red Cliff Battle in the next film. The heroic characters in it enhance the atmosphere of the environment.
Xia Que focuses on writing about people, using his admiration for Zhou Yu to express his feelings about his failure in his achievements. The purpose of writing "Xiao Qiao" is to highlight Zhou Yu's talent and high-spiritedness, and to highlight the character's grace. The description of Zhou Yu's military exploits in the middle is intended to contrast his old age and inaction. Although the last few lines of "passionate" express sentimental feelings, this feeling is actually the poet's unwillingness to sink, his aggressiveness, and his striving for progress, without losing his heroic nature.
Written with heroic sentiments that touch the heart.
The poet is a broad-minded person. Although he was frustrated in politics, he never lost confidence in life. This poem is a concentrated reflection of his complex mood. Although the poem is written with frustration, the style is heroic and heroic, which is obviously different from the works of frustrated literati on the same theme. The heroic sentiment in the lyrics is first reflected in the description of the scenery in Red Cliff. The extraordinary weather of the Yangtze River and the dangerous situation of the ancient battlefield give people a sense of heroism. Zhou Yu's heroic appearance and achievements are all enviable.
Creative background
This poem was written by Su Shi when he was exiled to Huangzhou in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082 AD). The author was forty-five years old at the time. It has been more than two years since "Poetry Case" was demoted to Huangzhou. Su Shi was demoted because he satirized the new law in his poems and argued for the crimes of the new bureaucrats. He had endless sorrow in his heart that he could not express, so he traveled around to relax and relax. I happened to come to Chibi (Bi)ji outside Huangzhou City. The magnificent scenery here moved the author a lot. It made me recall the infinite scenery of Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period and also lament the passage of time, so I wrote this poem.
