From "Zheng Guofeng Wind Ji Zi", the original text is: Qingqing Ji Zi, leisurely in my heart, even if I don't go, Zi Ning won't send a message? This was originally a love poem. The main idea of the poem is: Your collar is green, and my thoughts are long. Even if I didn't pick you up, didn't you send the news?
Later, Cao Cao quoted a sentence in "Short Songs": Qingqing Zitiao is leisurely in my heart, but only for the monarch, and I have been pondering it so far. It means Tsing Yi scholar (because all students in the Han Dynasty wore blue clothes), which is what I admire in my heart. Because of you, I think about how to attract you.

The theme of singing opera on wine is very clear, that is, the author hopes to have a large number of talents for his own use. In his political activities, in order to expand his ruling base among civilian landlords and crack down on reactionary hereditary forces, Cao Cao once strongly emphasized "meritocracy", and for this reason, he successively issued orders to seek talents, recruit scholars and escape.
The "short song" is actually a "song of seeking virtue", and because it adopts the form of poetry and contains rich lyrical elements, it can play a unique infectious role, effectively publicize his persistence and cooperate with his decrees.
Generally speaking, this poem, like Cao Cao's other poems, such as Good Li Xing, Nine-Nine Lines, and Crying in the Han Dynasty, is a highly political poem, mainly serving the political line and strategy implemented by Cao Cao at that time. However, its political content and significance are completely integrated into the rich lyrical artistic conception.
The whole poem gives full play to the characteristics of poetry, accurately and skillfully uses metaphor, and achieves the goal of combining reason with emotion and touching. At that time, Cao Cao was able to achieve the expected social effect according to the special laws of lyric poetry, and this creative experience is obviously worth learning from later generations.
At the same time, because Cao Cao's emphasis on "meritocracy" at that time had certain progressive significance, his highly artistic performance on the theme of "seeking talents" should also be affirmed by history.
