Extended data:
According to the Preface, Cao Zhi's Fu was written in the year of Huang San (222). After he entered Luoyang, the capital city, he passed through Luoshui and returned to Juancheng, a fief, "feeling Song Yu's worries about Chu women".
Shortly after Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he killed Cao Zhi's close friends Ding Yi and Ding Kuang. After leaving the country, Cao Zhi himself played "the meaning of drunkenness, the meaning of slowing down, threatening the ambassador" for the state supervision, and was demoted to Anxiang Hou, later renamed Juancheng Hou, and later made Juancheng King. These are undoubtedly a series of heavy blows to Cao Zhi, who is determined to "serve the country faithfully, benefit the people, make contributions, and open the stone".
Luoshen Fu can be regarded as a bridge for the transformation from the big Fu in Han Dynasty to the small lyric Fu in Six Dynasties, which has had a very extensive and far-reaching influence in history. Gu Kaizhi, a great calligrapher and painter in the Jin Dynasty, showed the spirit and style of "Ode to the Goddess of Luo", adding a rare masterpiece to the bookshop and painting circle.
In the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, some playwrights put it on the stage again, and Wang Daokun's Sad Life of Chen Luoshui is one of the more famous ones. As for the writers who used this as the theme in the past dynasties, countless people read poems and songs. It can be seen that the artistic charm of Cao Zhi's Luo Shen Fu is enduring.
