Cao Cao's only calligraphy is "Xue Kun", which was written in the twentieth year of Jian 'an (2 15). When Cao Cao made a westward expedition from Zhang Lu to Hanzhong, he saw the scenery in the river when he passed the stone gate at the throat of the plank road (now Baocheng, Shaanxi Province), and the words were engraved on the rocks in the river.
The word "snow" indicates the rapid flow of the river. The river hits the stone and splashes water, and the water is like rolling snow waves, so the cloud is "snow". This stone is now in Hanzhong Museum, Shaanxi Province, with the word "Wang Wei" at the left end of the book.
Experts believe that from the perspective of calligraphy art, the word "Zhou" is quite dynamic. The word "snow" has a static texture.

Caocao calligraphy
Cao Cao is a generation of calligraphers but little known, mainly because there are few calligraphy works handed down by Cao Cao.
According to historical records, Cao Cao often compared calligraphy with calligraphers Zhong You, Liang You, Han Danchun and Sun Bi. He especially likes to taste Liang Hu's calligraphy. He once gave five special pills to Zhong You who vomited blood because he was refused to borrow Cai Yong's calligraphy from Dan Wei.
Although Cao Cao is a good writer, probably because he was busy with war and politics, he didn't have the opportunity to write, so there was little ink circulating around the world. Zheng Qiao in the Song Dynasty only included a big monument in the Story of the Stone by Cao Cao.
Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty only talked about the River Festival Table written by Cao Cao in the Yuan Dynasty. Qing Ye Yibao said in Jin Shilu that Cao Cao had written the words "worshipping Tai Tai" on the side of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang.
When Cao Cao was in Hanzhong, the word "Xue Kun" written on a big stone of Nanbao River in Shimen has now moved into Hanzhong Museum. The word "Xue Kun" in Bozhou's "Cao Cao's Underground Troop Transport Road" is based on the extension for a moment; The two small characters "Wang Wei" engraved on it were blurred because of their straightness and were imitated by later generations.
