Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, two brothers, both inherited Cao Cao's literary genes and belonged to the representatives of Jian 'an literature. In the eyes of the world, Cao Zhi's talent is higher than that of Cao Pi by more than one grade, and his personality is higher than that of his brother. Under the pressure of my brother Cao Pi, the seven-step poem written in tears has been passed down through the ages, especially the sentence "This is the same root, and it is urgent not to fry each other", which makes people cry.
In fact, if Cao Pi was not an emperor and spent all his energy and time studying poetry and songs, he might not be worse than Cao Zhi, and he could be called a gifted scholar who was delayed by the throne. Why do you say that? Cao Pi once wrote a poem, whose creation and influence are no less than Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, but few people know it. Let's introduce it in detail below.
Ge Yan xing Cao pi
The autumn wind is bleak, the weather is cool, and the vegetation shakes and exposes frost. Yan's group said "Gu Nanxiang", thinking of gentlemen and guests, thinking of heartbroken.
I miss my hometown. Why did you send it after staying for a long time? A concubine is guarding her room alone. I dare not forget when I am worried about you.
I don't think my clothes are crying. Short songs cannot be long. The moon shines on my bed,
The stars are cold and flowing west, and the night is still young. Penny and Weaver looked at each other from a distance. Why should I restrict the river beam?
If you want to understand the meaning of a work, you must understand its creative background. This song Ge Yanxing was written in 207 AD. At that time, Cao Pi had just turned 20, which was the year of weak crown. When he followed his father Cao Cao to March north to Wuhuan, he was deeply moved by the people who had been displaced by years of war. To some extent, at this time, Cao Pi hated war from the bottom of his heart.
Cao Pi, who knows well the sufferings of the people, knows well the influence of war. Some newly married men were forced to join the army, leaving their newly married wives alone, which was very common in ancient times, especially during the war-torn Three Kingdoms period. Therefore, Cao Pi described a woman's longing for her husband with a unique perspective and writing technique.
The main idea of this poem is: in a blink of an eye, autumn is coming, the weather is getting colder and colder, flowers and trees are turning yellow, and dew is condensed into frost. Swallows began to fly to the south. Mr. Lang, I think you are heartbroken. Why do you have the heart to let me live alone? Every night when I miss you, tears will soak my clothes. I tried to distract myself by playing the piano, but it didn't work. The moonlight just fell, which reminds me of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. We love each other so much but are separated by the Milky Way, so we can only meet once a year.
In terms of popularity and popularity, Xing is much worse than the seven-step poem, but its influence, connotation and literary level are better than the seven-step poem. Before Cao Pi, there were almost no complete seven-character poems. Ge Yanxing is considered to be the earliest complete seven-character poem in existence, and its significance is self-evident. Wang Fuzhi, a thinker in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, once praised Ge Yanxing: "Love, desire and tendency are the same in ancient and modern times."
