East flows the mighty river,

Sweeping away the heroes of time past;

This ancient rampart on its western shore

Is Zhou Yu's Red Cliff of three Kingdoms' fame;

Here jagged boulders pound the clouds,

Huge waves tear banks apart,

And foam piles up a thousand drifts of snow;

A scene fair as a painting,


Countless the brave men here in time gone by!

I dream of Marshal Zhou Yu in his day

With his new bride, the Lord Qiao's younger daughter,

Dashing and debonair, Silk-capped, with feather fan,

He laughed and jested

While the dread enemy fleet was burned to ashes!

In fancy through those scenes of old I range.

My heart overflowing, surely a figure of fun.

A man gray before his time.

Ah, this life is a dream,

Let me drink to the moon on the river!


Memories of the Red Cliff, Su Dongpo, Song Dynasty

「大江東去,浪淘盡,千古風流人物。

故壘西邊,人道是,三國周郎赤壁。

亂石崩雲,驚濤拍岸,捲起千堆雪。

江山如畫,一時多少豪傑。


遙想公瑾當年,小喬初嫁了,雄姿英發。

羽扇綸巾,談笑間,強虜灰飛煙滅。


故國神遊,多情應笑我,早生華髮。

人生如夢,一尊還酹江月。」


宋 蘇軾《念奴嬌・赤壁懷古》
