"Seven Steps Poetry" Original: Boil beans for soup and simmer for juice. Honey burns under the pot, and beans cry in the pot. We are born from the same root, so why rush to speculate with each other?
Modern version of "Seven Steps Poetry": Boil beans and burn beans, and the beans weep in the kettle. We are born from the same root, so why rush to speculate with each other?
This allusion comes from Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu Literature in the Southern Dynasties: trying to get Dong to write a seven-step poem, and if it fails, implementing Dafa. The answer is a poem: "Boil beans as soup and soak them as juice. Glutinous rice is burned in the kettle, and beans weep in the kettle; This is the same root, why rush to speculate with each other? " The emperor was deeply ashamed.
Cao Zhi, the third son of Cao Cao, was gifted since childhood and loved by his father. After Cao Cao's death, his brother Cao Pi succeeded to Wang Wei of Cao Cao and later usurped the throne as emperor. Because Cao Pi was worried that leaving Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong (the fifth son) would have future troubles, he put pressure on them on the grounds that his father did not visit him when he died. Cao Xiong committed suicide because of fear. But Cao Zhi was brought into the imperial court. Finally, Bian Shi, the mother of four brothers Xelloss, began to plead, and Xelloss reluctantly gave Cao Azhi a chance to blurt out a poem within seven steps, otherwise he would be killed without forgiveness. Cao Zhi wrote this seven-step poem. Cao Pi understood the truth in Cao Zhi's poems: if he killed Cao Zhi, he would be laughed at by the world, but his greed still made him lose his mind, so he put Cao Zhi under house arrest. Finally, Cao Zhi died of depression under his brother's house arrest.
