Two short songs by Cao Cao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The two short songs written by Cao Cao, a politician and writer at the end of Han Dynasty, are two poems with the theme of ancient Yuefu. The first poem expresses the poet's thirst for talents and his ambition to unify the world through the singing at the banquet. The second song praises Zhou Wenwang, Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong's adherence to the history of the Minister's Day, indicating that they only have the ambition to help the Han Dynasty, but have no intention of representing the Han Dynasty's independence.
These two poems are elegant, solemn, profound and full of emotion. Their political content and significance are completely integrated into the rich lyrical artistic conception, which fully shows Cao Cao's personality, knowledge, ambition and ideal, and his magnificent and elegant poems.

He called for "respecting the king and rejecting the foreign countries" to help Yan defeat Beirong, rescue and stop Rongdi from attacking the Central Plains.
He joined forces with the governors of the Central Plains to attack Cai Chu, and made an alliance with Chu in Zhaoling (now northeast of Yancheng, Henan), which also quelled the civil strife of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty royal family. He held meetings with governors many times and made a Covenant, becoming the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. Praising Qi Huangong's "way of ruling" means attaching importance to the way of "respecting the king and rejecting foreign countries". It can be said that Cao Cao's strategy of "holding the emperor to make the princes" is the development of Qi Huangong's strategy of "respecting the king and rejecting foreign countries".
