Cao's management of "short songs" was before the Chibi War, that is, on the eve of the decision to send troops to Pingnan to unify the whole country. No matter what later generations say, Cao Cao defined himself as someone who wanted to be like Duke Zhou. Worst of all, he wanted to be Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong. They ruled the vassals and respected the office, that is, they helped the Han Dynasty and would never replace it. In fact, they have been like this all their lives. Although there are many crazy things, they have not replaced the Han Dynasty and started their own businesses.
To understand this short Song Ci, we should grasp it from three aspects: the background of the times, characters experience and the whole poem.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, warlords were separated, and wars were fought for years, and the people were miserable. "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no crows in a thousand miles." Cao Cao is ambitious, aiming at unification, in order to return to the heart of the world, and this poem is produced under such a background. As for Cao Cao's experience, you can search for human flesh without going into details.
Looking for her in the crowd, suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light. Why Cao Cao lamented that "drinking is a song and life is geometry"? The answer lies in the poem itself, that is, these two sentences: drinking is a song, life is geometry-I finally went to Japan, which is unforgettable.
We can't deny that Cao Cao decided to consider the meaning of life. A person who likes to think will one day think about the meaning of this life. As I said, all this is meaningless, of course it may be meaningful. Life is so beautiful, there is no need to be too serious.
