Where is the exact location of Battle of Red Cliffs?

According to historical records, there are five places in Jingchu called Chibi: Hanyang, Hanchuan, Wuchang, Huangzhou and Puyin. It is generally believed that in today's Puyin, Hubei.

Puyin Chibi 1. "Yuanhe County Records" said: "Chibi Mountain is 120 miles west of Pu Xian County, facing the great river in the north, and its northern shore is Wulin, that is, Zhou Yu used Huang Gaice to burn Cao Gong's boat." It is generally believed that "Northwest of Pu Xian County" is more credible.

2, Hanyang said, from the Southern Song Dynasty Hong Sheng's "Jingzhou Ji".

3. Hanchuan said that Li Jifu's "Yuanhe County Records" was published in the Tang Dynasty. These two places, which were called Chibi in ancient times, are not near the river, nor are they the places where Cao Cao's warships burned.

3. Wenchibi in Huangzhou is very famous in China, because Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, wrote "Red Cliff Fu" before and after. There are also some reasons why Su Dongpo mistook Huangzhou Chibi for Chibi Battle of Red Cliffs. There is Chibi in Huangzhou, and Tuanfeng Town, 60 miles west of Huangzhou, also known as Wulin Town, is the coupling of two place names. The original poem wrote: "To the west of the old base area, humanity is the Red Cliff in Zhou Lang, the Three Kingdoms." "Human nature is" means that it is not the author's intention. Su Shi's "Red Cliff Fu" has a postscript of "three points between Jianghan and Chibi", which shows that he is clear.

4. Jiangxia Chibi, namely Chiji Mountain in Jinkou, northeast of Jiangxia District, Jiayu County, Wuhan City. "Notes on Water Classics" said: "Chibi Mountain is in the south of Bairen Mountain, and it should be in the northeast of Jiayu County, at the junction with Jiangxia, and go to Wulin for 200 miles."

The meaning of Battle of Red Cliffs:

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan joined forces with Liu Bei, and in the 13th year of Jian 'an (2008), he defeated Cao Cao's army in Chibi (now northwest of chibi city, Hubei Province) near the Yangtze River. This is one of the most famous battles in the history of China, and the most famous of the "three major battles" in the Three Kingdoms period. It is also the first large-scale river battle in the Yangtze River basin in China history, which indicates that China's military and political center is no longer limited to the Yellow River basin. Finally, Sun and Liu joined forces to attack with fire, and Cao Cao returned to the north. Sun and Liu each took a part of Jingzhou, which laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries.
