Cao Cao was born in Bozhou, Anhui. He was an outstanding politician, militarist, writer, and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty [2] and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao is described as a little man with a height of only 1.6 meters, saying that he is "seven feet long." Please note that one foot in the Han Dynasty is equivalent to 0.23 meters today, and seven feet is 1.61 meters tall. . At the same time, Liu Bei was seven feet five inches tall (see "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of the First Master"), totaling 1.725 meters, and Zhuge Liang was eight feet tall (see "Three Kingdoms: Biography of Zhuge Liang"), totaling 1.84 meters. Compared with them, Cao Cao was really a dwarf. Even if the height of ancient people was not as high as it is now, 1.61 meters should be considered a setback at the time.
