Sing a song about wine, life geometry! For example, morning dew is much more difficult to go to Japan. Be generous, and your troubles will be unforgettable. How to solve your worries? Only Du Kang. Qingqing is your collar, YY is my miss. But for your sake, I've thought it over. A herd of deer, yo, ate mugwort in Ye Yuan. I have a group of good guests, playing the piano and playing the piano.
As clear as the bright moon, when can I forget it? The troubles come from this and cannot be cut off. The weirder, the more useless. Talk about it? I miss the elegance of the past. There are few stars on the moon, and blackbirds fly south. Turn around the tree three times, what branches can you rely on? The mountain is never too high, and the sea is never too deep. The duke of Zhou vomited, and the world returned to the heart.
Translation:
Singing to wine, life is short and the sun flies. Just like the morning dew is fleeting, there are too many lost days! The songs on the table are passionate and generous, and melancholy has filled my heart for a long time. By what to alleviate depression? Only binge drinking can set you free. Blue-collar students, you make me miss you day and night. It is because of you that I have been chanting deeply to this day.
In the sunshine, the deer are chirping on the green slope and eating leisurely. Once talented people from all over the world come to our home, I will entertain guests in blowing sheng. When can I pick the bright moon hanging in the sky? My long-standing worries and resentment suddenly poured out and merged into a long river. Guests from afar came to visit me one after another on the field path.
Meet again after a long separation, have a long talk, and compete to tell the old friendship. There are few stars in the moon, and a group of nesting blackbirds fly south. Fly around the tree for three weeks without breaking your wings. Where can you live? The mountains do not hesitate to look at the towering rocks, but the sea does not abandon the trickle to see the grandeur. I would like to be as courteous as the Duke of Zhou, and I would like the heroes of the world to submit to me sincerely.

"Short Song" is the flat tone of Yuefu songs and the movement sung at the banquet. Judging from the content and artistic conception of this poem, one is the unfulfilled ambition, the worry about the geometry of life, and the other is the desire for Duke Zhou to get rid of the old and accept the new, and to be a virtuous corporal. It can be speculated that Cao Cao is getting older and his ambition is blocked, but he still doesn't forget his ambition of "returning to the world". On this basis, short songs may have been written from the 19th year of Jian 'an (2 14) to the 22nd year of Jian 'an (2 17).
"Short Song" is rigorous in structure and progressive in poetry. There are eight sentences on the first floor of the whole poem, which are divided into four layers: on the first floor, there are eight sentences of "singing about wine", which begin with wine and write the reasons for seeking talents; On the second floor, there are eight sentences of "Qing Qing Zi Jiao", which are about the yearning for talents; Three layers of "bright as the moon" eight sentences, the difficulty of writing true talents and learning; The four-level writing method of sincerity and courtesy is the key to seeking talents, making the world return to the heart and making great achievements.
The two short songs are two poems written by Cao Cao, a politician and writer at the end of Han Dynasty, with the theme of ancient Yuefu. The first poem expresses the poet's desire for virtue and ambition to unify the world through the singing of banquets. The second song praises Zhou Wenwang, Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong's adherence to the history of the Minister's Day, indicating that they only have the ambition to help the Han Dynasty, but have no intention of representing the Han Dynasty's independence.
These two poems are elegant, solemn, profound and full of emotion. Their political content and significance are completely integrated into the rich lyrical artistic conception, which fully shows Cao Cao's personality, knowledge, ambition and ideal, and his magnificent and elegant poems.
Cao Cao is a generation of calligraphers but little known, mainly because there are few calligraphy works handed down by Cao Cao. "Book Review of Tang Dynasty" said: "Cao Shu is like a golden flower, exquisite everywhere, jade is brilliant, and Eta Ursae Majoris is brilliant." Zhang Hua in the Western Jin Dynasty said in the Natural History: "In the Han Dynasty, Anping Cui Yuan, Bao, Hongnong and Zhilichang were good at cursive writing, while Taizu was good at cursive writing."
Yu Jianwu, a calligraphy critic in the Southern Dynasties, listed Cao Cao's calligraphy works as the best among China people, calling them "Li Mo Xiong Zhan". Zhang Huaiguan, a calligrapher and critic in the Tang Dynasty, called Cao Cao "an excellent calligrapher and calligrapher" in Shu Duan and praised his wonderful works. From this point of view, although Cao Cao's calligraphy works can not be regarded as excellent and top grade, they can also be regarded as famous calligraphers in China.
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 Song Dynasty only included a big tablet written by Cao Cao in The Story of the Stone. 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.
