Cao Cao once read an article written by Cao Zhi and asked him in surprise, "Did you ask someone to write it for you?"
Cao Zhi replied, "Whatever you say, just write an article. You just have to take the exam face to face. Why do you want to ask someone to do it for you! " In addition, he is frank and natural, does not pay attention to solemn appearance, gorgeous chariots and horses, and does not pursue splendor and wealth, which naturally suits Cao Cao's taste. Gradually, Cao Cao began to transfer his love to Cao Zhi.

In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10), the Tongque Terrace built by Cao Cao in Yecheng was completed, and a group of scholars were called to "pay tribute on the stage", among which Cao Zhi was one.
