original work
Jiang Caojun is a descendant of Cao Cao's descendants, but now he is reduced to a poor family. Wei Wudi Cao Cao [2]
Conquerors and their velvet perished, and this literary talent still exists today.
In calligraphy, your first master, Mrs. Wei, just didn't surpass it.
Indulge in painting, you know that the age of youth is coming. In fact, wealth and status are floating away like clouds to me.
During the Kaiyuan period, you were often summoned by Tang Gaozong, and you were guaranteed to board the southern tour many times.
The portrait of the hero in Lingyan Pavilion has faded, and Jiang Caojun can't brush away the repainted noodles.
The head wears a Jinshi crown, and the warrior wears a big feather arrow on his waist.
You kept every hair of the founders of this dynasty alive, as if they had just returned from a fierce battle.
Artists copied them in various poses.
On that day, the jade flower was taken into the temple, and the red rank was erected at the palace gate to increase its prestige.
Then, general, I ordered you to continue your work. You concentrated all your money on a piece of silk.
After a while, the dragon horse appeared on the silk, which was much more mediocre than all generations of horses.
If a real horse falls on the emperor's bed, the picture of the horse's bed is the same as the rank of standing in front of the real horse.
The emperor smiled and urged the left and right to give you gold, and the servant and the groom were all stunned.
Han Gan, a student of the general, can draw a horse and has many good images.
Han Gan's painting shows no inner spirit, which often kills Liu Hua's horse of life.
You, beyond simple skills, used your art sacredly, showing not only the horse, but the life of a good man.
Now you are wandering in this war-torn society, and ordinary paintings are ordinary passers-by.
In your later years, you suffered from the eyes of the world, and no one in the world was so extremely poor as you.
I read in the record that from the earliest time, his body was bumpy all day. Annotation translation

General Cao is a descendant of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, but now he has become a poor man in Shu Ren. The era of heroic separatism is gone forever, but Cao's style is still there. In order to learn calligraphy, you should learn from Mrs. Wei first. You are only more annoying than General Wang Xizhi. You have been specializing in painting all your life. You don't know that you are getting old, but prosperity is like a cloud in the sky for you. During the Kaiyuan period, you were often summoned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Thanks to your kindness, you have boarded Nanxun Hall many times. The heroic portrait of Lingyange has faded over the years, and General Cao's paintings are new. Good people wear the crown of entering Germany, while brave men wear big feather arrows around their waists. Zannan and Hubei men's hair seems to be shaking, as if they were playing hard. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, the first emperor's Tianma was called Yuhuaqi, and many painters painted it, which was different from its original appearance. On the same day, Yuhuaqi was led to the red steps in the temple and stood tall at the palace gate, which greatly increased its prestige. The emperor ordered you to unfold the silk script and prepare for painting. You are smart and depressed, and you work hard. In a blink of an eye, the dragon horse appeared on the silk in nine days, and Wandai horse was mediocre at once. The picture of jade flower is like a real horse lying on the emperor's couch, and the picture of a real horse standing in front of the steps on the couch is the same. The emperor smiled and urged the left and right to give you gold, and all the servants and hostess were confused and at a loss. Han Gan, the general's favorite pupil, learned painting skills very early. He can also draw horses and has many extraordinary images. Han Gan's paintings only paint the exterior, but not the inner spirit, which often makes Ai Hua's good horse depressed. The general's paintings are exquisite and beautiful, with charm in them. Only a real celebrity would write a photo for him. Now wandering in a war-torn society, I usually paint ordinary pedestrians. In your later years, you will be exposed to the worldly eyes. No one in the world has ever been so poor as you. Just keep looking at those celebrities. Who doesn't haunt them all day? [3]
works appreciation
This poem should be read together with the previous poem, which complement each other. Poetry is refined and desolate. Cao Shi was first Wei Wu, and now it is Shu Ren. Then words of praise for the achievements and richness of their ancestors still exist. There are ups and downs, ups and downs. Then write about Cao Shi's diligence and enterprising in painting and calligraphy, and his noble sentiments. I have been immersed in Dan Qing all my life, not thinking about wealth, and I don't know that old age is coming. Writing "learning books" is a foil, and writing "Danqing" is a point. Priorities, cadence, strewn at random. Eight sentences in Kaiyuan praised the achievements of Cao Shi's figure painting. The eight sentences in The First Emperor describe the process of Cao Shi's description of "Jade Flower". The eight sentences in "Jade Flower" describe the artistic charm of painting horses, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Compare them with Han Gan's paintings. In the eight sentences of "General", a painter who wrote such exquisite works wandered the rivers and lakes during the war years, selling paintings for passers-by for a living, and could not help but express his frustration in his later years. Poetry is complicated in structure, but the subject and object are distinct. Emotional ups and downs, vacillating. The ending of this poem is more appreciated by poets of all ages. Weng Fanggang once called this magnificent poem "the first masterpiece of ancient and modern seven-character poems" in Qing Dynasty. [4]
