Li Wei said the fifteenth poem.

Where to find the Prime Minister's ancestral hall?Outside Jinguan City, Parson.

The green grass is from the spring, and the yellow oriole is hollow and has a good sound.

Three times to worry about the world, two dynasties to help the old ministers.

He died before he left the school, which made the hero cry.

This poem "Shu Xiang" was made by Du Fu in the spring of the first year of the first year (760 AD) when he visited the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu. Shu Xiang, that is, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. In terms of content, the whole poem can be simply divided into two parts, the first four sentences are written in the scene, which is the first part;The last four verses of the history of the song are the second part.

The first joint points to the location of the Wuhou Temple. Where to find the Prime Minister's ancestral hall?Parsons outside Jinguan City", where is Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's ancestral hall?It is just outside Jinguan City where the cypress trees are thick. At that time, Du Fu had just arrived in Shudi, and these two poems inadvertently revealed his admiration for Zhuge Liang and his eagerness to visit the Wuhou Temple between questions and answers.

The jaw couplet depicts the spring scene of the Wuhou Temple. "The green grass of the steps is from the spring, and the yellow oriole is hollow and has a good sound", the grass on the side of the stone steps grows in the air under the bright spring light;Through the heavy leaves, there was the gentle cry of the yellow bird, far away and lonely.

The above four sentences, from the perspective of a tourist, describe the scenery of Wuhou Temple from far to near. But this description is not simply recorded, but clearly integrated into the author's personal emotions. In particular, the words "self" and "emptiness" seem to be written on the surface that there are few tourists in the Wuhou Temple, but in fact they reveal the melancholy and loss in the author's heart. In short, these four lines of poetry succeed in creating a solemn, solemn and slightly sad atmosphere, which paves the way for the further development of the following thoughts.

The neck couplet narrates Zhuge Liang's life. "Three times to worry about the world, two dynasties to open the hearts of the old ministers", Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, and constantly asked him for advice on the principles and strategies to stabilize the world, and Zhuge Liang since he came out of the mountain, conscientious and conscientious, before and after assisting Liu Bei and Liu Chan's father in the two dynasties, creating and Kuangji Shu Han regime. These two lines of poetry are highly summarized, and the first sentence mainly writes about Zhuge Liang's outstanding talent. A seat of "Longzhong Pair" pointed out the strategy of determining the world for Liu Bei, who had been defeated repeatedly and had no way out. The latter sentence mainly writes about Zhuge Liang's character. First, he followed Liu Bei "when he was ordered to defeat the army, he was ordered to be in trouble" ("Out of the Teacher's Table"), and then Liu Chan, the weak lord of the auxiliary government, did his best and died. Loyal, high-spirited.

The tail couplet is the author's emotion. "Die before leaving the division, and make the hero full of tears", but unfortunately Mr. went out of the Northern Expedition and died of illness before the victory, so that many heroes and heroes throughout the ages were full of grief and tears. These two sentences of poetry are deeply affectionate, expressing the author's regret over Zhuge Liang's unpaid ambition. The Si people have passed away, and only the latecomers are left to sigh for themselves. This sense of historical loss, echoing the words "self" and "emptiness" in the couplet, greatly strengthens the appeal of the whole poem.

It is worth mentioning that, like many readers, Du Fu himself often has the ambition to serve the country, but he has always been frustrated and depressed. Therefore, he relied on Shu Xiang Zhuge Liang, who was unpaid for his ambitions, and may also have the meaning of pouring the blocks in his heart by borrowing the wine of the ancients!
