Cao Cao, whose real name was Meng De, was the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms period, an outstanding politician, strategist, calligrapher and poet. He served as the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty and later named Wang Wei, which laid the foundation for the establishment of Cao Wei. 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.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. As one of the lean men, Cao Cao conquered all directions in the name of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, wiped out 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, and unified the northern part of China. At the same time, he implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order, expanding reclamation, building water conservancy projects, rewarding agriculture and mulberry, attaching importance to handicrafts, resettling refugees, and implementing "rent adjustment", thus making the Central Plains society gradually stable and the economy turn around. Under Cao Cao's rule, the politics of the Yellow River valley gradually became clear, the economy gradually recovered, the class oppression was slightly alleviated, and the social atmosphere improved.
Chen Shou, the author of The History of the Three Kingdoms, spoke highly of Cao Cao: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes rose together. Yuan Shao looked at the four countries and became strong. Mao strategized, castigated the magic of Shen and Shang, used the unique tactics of Han and Bai, and granted official materials, each for his own devices, melodramatic, and forgot the old evils. In the end, he was able to conquer the imperial court machine and become a flood maker, but it was only slightly better. I can be described as an extraordinary person and a peerless hero. "
