According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was seven feet long, and one foot in the Han Dynasty was 0.23 meters, that is, seven feet was 1.6 1 meter.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms records that Cao Cao is "seven feet long with narrow eyes and long beard", that is, 1. 1 meter. But The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel after all, and Luo Guanzhong promoted Cao here, because Cao Cao, as the first villain, can't be too short.
The real Cao Cao's specific height is unknown. Theoretically, it should be less than 1. 1 m.
Cao Cao was born in Mengde, a native of Peiguoqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms. Posthumous title is King Wu.
Major achievements
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the social economy of the Huanghuai River Basin suffered unprecedented destruction, the people were slaughtered, the land was barren, and the survivors were forced to leave their homes and live in exile. It can be said that "the name is empty and uninhabited, and there are no people in a hundred miles", and "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no crows in a thousand miles".
Faced with this tragic situation, Cao Cao implemented a series of policies to restore the economy and stabilize the situation before his death. Judging from Cao Cao's political, military and economic performances, such as reclaiming farmland, building water conservancy and implementing the system of selling salt and iron by officials, it has played a positive role in social and economic recovery and economic rectification.
