The scene behind the words

A rhyme coined by his contemporaries: even three rounds of wine in, Zhou Yu never failed to catch a wrong note — and turn to look. It preserves the fact that the grand commander of Red Cliffs was also the finest musical ear of his age, his elegance and perfectionism in a single line, endlessly quoted by later poets.
