赤壁 杜牧


赤壁      杜牧(803-852)

折戟沉沙鐵未銷,自將磨洗認前朝。
東風不與周郎便,銅雀春深鎖二喬。

The Red Cliff                     Du Mu (803-852)

Long sunken deep into the sand, the broken iron spear has not yet rotten away,
Having it dug out and restored reveals stories of the kingdoms of the old days,
Had the east wind not gone Zhou Yu’s way,
The devastating beauty of the Qiao sisters would have been dismally locked away in the Tower of the Bronze Sparrow Cage.
