Boil beans and burn beans, and simmer black beans.
Honey burns under the pot, and beans cry in the pot.
We were born from the same root, so why should we speculate with each other!
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are both sons of Cao Cao, born of Queen Bian, and are real brothers and sisters. Cao Cao once wanted to make Cao Zhian his heir, because his intelligence was higher than that of his younger brother Xelloss. After Cao Pi ascended the throne (formerly known as Wei Wendi), he still avoided Cao Zhi's ability and persecuted him. This poem came into being under such circumstances. Beans, tofu and fermented beans are all forms of this plant, which can be said to be "born from the same root". The first sentence depicts the scene of cooking beans and using bean skin as fuel to make bean juice for us. The third and fourth sentences further reveal the relationship between them. Beans endure the suffering of tofu in the pot, and the voice of "glug" seems to be crying. This implies my brother's persecution and grief. The last two sentences, Zhang Xianzhi, the pawn, is not only controlling the demolition, but also resisting. It is said that the whole poem is completed in seven steps, and the poet's emotion has also experienced a process from tenderness to generation. It is called Yin Wu, but it is actually an allegorical poem with irony. However, due to the special relationship between the poet and the object of condemnation, the poet's tone is euphemistic and deep, with reminders and exhortations in irony. On the one hand, this reflects Cao Zhi's cleverness, on the other hand, it also reflects Cao Pi's cruelty in persecuting his brothers and sisters. Cao Zhi, a gifted scholar, is personable. Emotionally, this poem is progressive step by step, using the method of comparison, from which we can also find the influence of Yuefu poetry. Some anthologies don't have two or three sentences, but this style is still obvious.
