Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms wrote "Out of the Summer Gate": "The old horse crouches and aims at a thousand miles."
With the flying dragon in the sky, right. (Notes on Lu You's Old Learning Temple in Song Dynasty, Volume 1)
The martyrs in their later years were full of great courage.
A hero with lofty aspirations. Has: stopped, decayed. When the hero reached his later years, Mr. Xie did not rot.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao's "Walking out of Xiamen, Long live the tortoise": "The old horse crouches in the tiger, with a thousand miles of ambition, the martyrs are full of courage."
After returning to the barracks, Cao Cao was still ups and downs and could not be calm for a long time. He thought: Although Yuan Shao and Ta Dun in the north made peace, Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south still stood on one side. The great cause of the motherland's reunification has not yet been realized. At this time, Cao Cao is 53 years old, but the important task of history is on his shoulders, and the mission of reunifying the motherland is still calling him. Thinking of his passion and lofty sentiments, he strode to the front of the case and wrote:
Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.
The snake rides the fog and eventually turns to dust.
An old horse crouches, aiming at a thousand miles.
The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.
These two poems show the enthusiasm and enterprising spirit of Cao Cao, who loves nature, despises fate, is vigorous and vigorous in his old age, and aims at a thousand miles, and expresses his lofty desire to change reality and unify the country.
Brief introduction of the author
Cao Cao (155-0315,220) was born in Mengde, a lucky man and a small character, Asan, from 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. Conquering the Quartet in the name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty eliminated the separatist forces such as Er Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao and Han Sui at home, surrendered the southern Xiongnu, Wu Huan and Xianbei abroad, unified the northern part of China, and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order, which laid the foundation for the establishment of Cao Wei. Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty before his death, then Wang Wei, and after his death, posthumous title became King Wu. After his son Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he was honored as Emperor Wu, with the temple name Mao.
Cao Cao is good at writing poems, expressing his political ambitions with great boldness of vision, generosity and sadness, and reflecting the miserable life of the people in the late Han Dynasty. Prose is also neat, which opens and prospers Jian 'an literature and leaves precious spiritual wealth to future generations. Historically, it was called Jian 'an Style, and Lu Xun rated it as "the founder of reforming articles". At the same time, Cao Cao is good at calligraphy, especially at carving grass. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaiguan named it a "wonderful flower" at the end of Shu.
