The whole poem is as follows:
Wei and Jin Dynasties and Cao Cao's "though your life is long"
Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.
The snake rides the fog and eventually turns to dust.
The old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles.
The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.
The surplus and contraction period is not only in the sky;
Blessings that nourish grace can last forever.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
Appreciation of The Life of a Turtle:
"Old horse, ambitious. In the year of martyrs, go forward bravely. "
Cao Cao compared himself to a galloping old horse. Although old and frail, he was demoted to the next position, but his chest was still full of lofty sentiments. He said that people who are interested in doing something will never be depressed in their later years, and the pursuit of grand ideals will never stop!
This poem begins with a sigh about the philosophy of life, followed by a strong and intense singing, and then returns to philosophical speculation: "The period of surplus and contraction is not limited to the sky; The blessing that nourishes grace can last forever. "
Cao Cao's outlook on life is quite dialectical. First of all, he talks about respecting the laws of nature, and people always die. Then, in a limited life, people should give full play to their subjective initiative, make positive progress and make contributions.
