Volume 2 Chapter 3

In this Chibi battle. Not to mention that this is one of the few examples in military history where less wins more, the story of the Three Kingdoms that happened before and after this battle is enough for us to come here to remember this history.

Chibi Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Chibi City in the southeast of Hubei Province. "The two dragons fought to decide the male and female, the Chibi building ship swept the ground, the fire shone on the sky and the sea of clouds, and Zhou Yu broke Cao Gong here." The "Red Cliff" in the poem of Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, is the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms that everyone wants to visit today. Chibi is now the only ancient battlefield site in China that still has its original appearance, and it attracts Chinese and foreign tourists with its rich and profound cultural connotation. Why can the Battle of Chibi defeat the many with fewer and the inferior over the superior? Let's roam the red cliffs, hang the ancients, and explore the mysteries. The rich cultural connotation contained in the Battle of Chibi is mainly "good and skillful". Nowadays, the market competition is in full swing, and the world's people who chase life goals are as strong as forests, if you can appreciate the wisdom of the ancestors from Chibi tourism and use the past for the present, it will be worth the trip.

Dajiangdong goes to the waves, the eternal romantic characters, a song "Nian Nujiao. "Chibi Nostalgia" makes us feel the magnificent scenery of "the waves crashing on the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow" in the poems of Su Da Wenhao. Here I have to mention the two red cliffs in Hubei. Wen Chibi in Huanggang, Wu Chibi in Xianning. After Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, which is now Huanggang, he suddenly sighed with emotion on the cliff that seemed to be the Red Cliff War by the river, and wrote "Red Cliff Fu" with a pen, and the actual Red Cliff War took place on the riverside of Chibi Town in Chibi City. That's where we went.

Tourists and friends came to the Three Kingdoms Chibi Ancient Battlefield Scenic Area, which was rebuilt in 2005 and is now divided into a ruins area and an antique building area. The seven powerful characters of "Three Kingdoms Chibi Ancient Battlefield" at the entrance were inscribed by former President Xi on November 4, 2007. The relics area includes the Conferral Hall, the Fengxiao Nunnery, the thousand-year-old ginkgo, the Three Kingdoms Sculpture Garden, the Baifeng Platform, the cliff stone carvings, and the Chibi Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall. The antique building area is mainly composed of the racecourse, the Chibi Tower, the golden city, the earth city and the Shenwu platform.

The place where we are now is Chibi Jitou. Chibi Jitou is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, we look around, in the Yangtze River south of the riverside plain only this Chibi Mountain, it is like a sharp sword obliquely inserted into the heart of the river, there is a great tendency to cut off the Yangtze River. Looking up at the other side, that is the Wulin Ancient Village where Cao Cao was stationed in the past, where human and horse bones up to 1 meter deep have been found, as well as bronze horse shoes marked with the year name of the year. Ulin was a narrow corridor in the past, divided into upper, middle and lower three parts, the upper Ulin is Cao Cao's infantry, the lower Ulin is the cavalry, and the middle Ulin is Cao Cao's headquarters and the place where the water city is located.

Let's look at the Yijiang Pavilion again. Yijiang Pavilion was originally Zhou Yu's forward observation post and command post, named after the Chibi Mountain such as Kunpeng's wings obliquely inserted into the heart of the river, and was built by Cai Hanqing. Please look at this couplet on the pavilion pillar, which is abbreviated according to the poet Zhu Yizhun in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Let's look at Shanglian: the river is ruthlessly red, and when the lease was hung, who didn't know the good way to prosper and dominate. This is to say that fire and water are merciless, and war is merciless. During the Battle of Chibi, the river here was red by the relentless fire, and now when we look back on those years, we will naturally think of this famous example of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak. Zibu refers to Zhang Zhao, an old minister of the Three Dynasties of Eastern Wu, and an official and a long history. Xingba is Gan Ning, a young naval general in Eastern Wu, who was originally a subordinate of Jiangxia Huangzu, and after defecting to Eastern Wu, he offered advice to Sun Quan, first taking Jiangxia and then Jingzhou, in order to consolidate the foundation of Jiangdong. This proposition was strongly opposed by Zhang Zhao, and at the critical moment, Sun Quan distinguished right from wrong, tried to eliminate dissent, and adopted Gan Xingba's good strategy. This joint is based on the dispute between Gan Ning and Zhang Zhao, and praises Sun Quan for his good policies. Let's take a look at the next couplet: the lakes and mountains are blue, leaving behind the traces of victory, and I still think that Zhou Lang is worth Lu Di's wind badge. Zhou Lang refers to Zhou Yu, during the Battle of Chibi, he mainly attacked by fire, burned Cao Cao's army chain of water cities, and burned Cao Cao's grand blueprint to the ground. Lu Di refers to Lu Xun, according to the "Three Kingdoms, Wu Zhi, Lu Xun Biography": in the 24th year of Jian'an (219 AD), Lu Xun and Lu Meng used a strategy to seize Jingzhou, and in the first year of Huangwu in Eastern Wu (222 AD), Liu Bei led an army of 700,000 in Shu to avenge Guan Yu and crusade against Eastern Wu. Lu Xun led his troops in Yiling, used fire to attack, and burned Liu Bei's company camp for 700 miles. Liu Bei retreated to Fengjie, Sichuan, and died in the White Emperor City. The two of them have made great contributions in the annals of history and are known as the "Three Kingdoms and Two Fires". After the founding of the country, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun faced the crisis twice, and they had to consolidate the foundation of Soochow. And because when the two of them made meritorious contributions, they were both in the weak crown, and they were opposed by Zhang Zhao and others, and Sun Quan had the ability to exclude public opinion, reuse young generals, and build a miracle for all generations. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Wu Zhi" commented on Sun Quan: "Can bend down and endure humiliation, be talented and virtuous, have the wonder of hooking and practice, and the masterpiece of the British, so he can be good at Jiangbiao and become a Dingzhi industry." The whole couplet integrates scene, lyricism, and history, and uses the stories of several civil servants and military generals in the history of Eastern Wu to make contributions to the Eastern Wu regime, and praises Sun Quan for being able to know how to make good use of people at critical moments and is a wise monarch.

Speaking of which, everyone knows that during the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief of the Sun-Liu coalition army. The stone statue of Zhou Yu in front of us was inaugurated in the autumn of 1990 and designed by Cheng Dexing of the Hubei Provincial Museum. The shape of Zhou Yu's statue combines the dual advantages of Han portrait stone carving, Northern Wei stone carving and modern architectural art, combining realism with freehand, considering both the historical environment and the service of tourism, and emphasizing the latter. Zhou Yu's robe design reflects this characteristic, from the front, the east wind blows, and the robe floats to the northwest, which coincides with the southeast wind direction of Kong Ming's altar sacrifice; On the reverse side, it looks like a stone wall, which is consistent with the "red cliff". The design of the base is unique. The pattern carved by the knife and axe symbolizes the stormy waves that hit the shore, and the three levels are a metaphor for "rolling up a thousand piles of snow", which is taken from Su Shi's words, and also metaphorically represents the Three Kingdoms. The base of the statue is 2 meters wide and 3 meters long, and the figure is 6.85 meters high, carved from 26 granite stones. The 8.58-meter-tall stone statue is as tall as five adults combined. You see Zhou Dudu holding a sharp sword, his eyes are heroic, and he is not afraid in the face of more than 200,000 strong enemies of Cao Jun, and the whole statue shows Zhou Yu's heroism of "wanting to compete with Cao Gong" vividly.

As we all know, the period of the Three Kingdoms, and Wolong Kong Ming's same name is the phoenix pangtong, these two are the two famous people who lived in seclusion in Xiangyang, the phoenix brood is specially designed to commemorate the battle of Chibi in the "serial plan" of Pang Tong built, it was built in the Qing Daoguang twenty-six years (that is, AD 1846), originally nine major halls, because of the destruction in the war, now only the last heavy construction area of 300 square meters, divided into three halls, the main hall enshrines the whole body statue of Mr. Feng Chia, there is a couplet on both sides of the statue:

There are many taboos in creation, and the dragon and phoenix are not allowed to return to one room;

If the gentleman does not die, the country may not be allowed three points.

People have legends: Wolong and phoenix chicks can settle the world with one piece, and Liu Bei is determined to sweep away the heroes. Kuang Fu Han room, he not only got Kong Ming, but also got the phoenix Pang Tong, but unfortunately "the creation is more taboo, the dragon and the phoenix are not allowed to return to the same room", as a result, the same wisdom of the incarnation Pang Tong died at an early age, if Pang Tong does not die, it is very likely that the history of the Three Kingdoms will be another matter, of course, this lower link is an evaluation of Pang Tong's higher realm.

The Conferral Hall will show the stories of the 36 strategies in the Three Kingdoms, and everyone can experience the wisdom in them. Feng Yan Nunnery is to commemorate Mr. Feng Yan Pang Tong built, the earliest for the nine major halls, after repeated wars, the last only one layer was retained, there was "Wolong Phoenix Chicks, get one to get the world" said, Liu Bei got both, but did not get the world, this also fulfilled another sentence "one mountain does not allow two tigers". Although Pang Tong is extremely ugly, his wisdom is no less than that of Kong Ming, but it is a pity that he is too narrow-minded, otherwise the history of the Three Kingdoms will be rewritten. However, Mr. Feng Xiao played an indispensable role in the Battle of Chibi, and it was precisely because he presented a series of plans to Cao Cao that Cao Jun's warships were completely wiped out, so why did Pang Tong contribute to Cao Cao and help Liu Bei? It is said that Cao Cao disliked Pang Tong's ugly appearance and did not reuse it, and Pang Tong could only live in seclusion at the foot of Jinluan Mountain all day long, planting vegetables and making tea, and Liu Bei and Kong Ming decided to reuse him after discovering this genius, so in order to repay the kindness of the encounter, Pang Tong helped Sun and Liu to join forces. And the inscription on the Feng Xian'an "absolutely sweet and less" is exactly when Kong Ming came here to drink tea, he felt that Pang Tong's tea was very sweet, and it was rare in the world. Their relationship is deeply visible.

The ginkgo tree planted by Pang Tong at the entrance of the temple is more than 1,800 years old, and the wonder of the hermaphroditic community is also rare in the world. Let's guess their male and female in a moment!

In the Three Kingdoms Sculpture Garden, Liu Guan, Zhang Taoyuan, Sanjieyi, Cao Cao's Qingmei Cooking Wine Discussion Hero, Zhang Fei's horizontal knife immediately roared Duan Changbanqiao, Lu Bu Fengyi Pavilion and other character stories, wait and listen to me one by one.

We are now on our way to Wuhan's most famous attraction, the Yellow Crane Tower, the landmark of Jiangcheng. The Yellow Crane Tower is the first of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Guqin Terrace and the Qingchuan Pavilion are called the three major scenic spots in Wuhan. Friends, please look at the place where I pointed, that is the Yellow Crane Tower towering on Wuchang Snake Mountain, which was built in the Wu Huangwu period of the Three Kingdoms (223 AD), with a history of 1,700 years. However, the history is long but after the vicissitudes of life, repeatedly built and destroyed, the last yellow crane tower in history is also called Tongzhi Building, in Guangxu ten years, that is, in 1884 destroyed by fire. Repeatedly built and destroyed in the world, why? This is because the Yellow Crane Tower is no longer a famous building in the general sense, it is not only a lyrical place for countless literati and scholars, but also a witness to the rise and fall of an era. Not long ago, the Yellow Crane Tower was lit up, and a feast of lights kicked off in the Yellow Crane Tower. The lit up Yellow Crane Tower shines brightly, which is the collision of the times and the soul. The times are advancing, the soul is constantly being renewed, and we must be civilized when traveling. Please let this visit be remembered in your heart.

The Yellow Crane Tower, which is about to arrive, was started in 1981 to build, based on the Tongzhi Building of the Qing Dynasty, and can summarize its characteristics in five words: Qi, beautiful and wonderful. It is composed of the main building, the pavilion, the corridor, the archway, the ancient commercial street, etc. The main building has a net height of 51.4 meters and a total of five floors. Each side is 35 meters long, 72 big pillars rise from the ground, 60 warped corners fly the eaves in the air, absorb the length of the building, and gather the wind of the north and the south.
