Boiled beans are used as soup and fermented into juice.
Honey burns under the pot, and beans cry in the pot.
We are born from the same root, so why rush to speculate with each other?
Boil beans to make bean soup, and filter beans to make juice. The beanstalk burns under the pot, and the beans cry in the pot. Beanstalk and beans are originally grown one by one. Why do they have to torture each other so much?
Boil beans in a pot, filter out the residue of beans, leave bean juice and make paste food. The beanstalk burns under the pot, and the beans cry in the pot. It said: we are born from the same root, how can you torture me in such a hurry!
works appreciation
This poem was written in a purely metaphorical way. The language is simple and clear, and there is no need to explain it. Just a little dredging in individual words and phrases, its significance is self-evident. The poet's clever metaphor and clever language blurted out in an instant, which was really amazing.
For thousands of years, the word "born from the same root, why bother to fry each other" has become a common language for people to persuade them to avoid killing each other, which shows that this poem is widely circulated among the people. Through the daily phenomenon of burning beans and boiling beans, Cao Zhi's inner grief and indignation were expressed.
