The poem "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgia" was written by Su Shi when he was exiled to Huangzhou in 1082 AD (the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty). The author was 47 years old at the time, and was involved in the "Wutai Poetry Case" It has been more than two years since he was demoted to Huangzhou. Coming to Chibi outside Huangzhou City, the author was deeply moved by the magnificent scenery here. It also made the author recall the infinite scenery of Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period and also lament the passage of time, so he wrote this poem.

This poem was written by Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. The original text of the poem is as follows:

When the great river goes eastward, the waves are swept away, and the romantic figures of the ages are revealed. On the west side of the fort, the way of humanity is, Chibi, Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms. Rocks pierced through the sky, 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. 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.

Vernacular interpretation: The mighty river flows eastward, and the huge waves sweep away all the heroes of the ages. To the west of the old fortress, people say that is the Red Cliff where Zhou Yu fought fiercely 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.

Reminiscent of the time when Zhou Yu was so proud of his youth, and the peerless beauty Xiao Qiao had just married him, and he was full of heroism and heroic spirit. They were holding feather fans and wearing turbans on their heads. While talking and laughing, the powerful enemy's warships were burned to 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, let me pour a glass of wine to pay homage to the bright moon on the river.
