The author of Seven Steps Poetry is Cao Zhi, a poet in the Three Kingdoms period. The main idea of the whole poem is: the beans are boiled in a pot, and the residue of the beans is filtered out, leaving the bean juice as soup; The beanstalk burns at the bottom of the pot, and the beans cry in the pot; Beans and beanstalks originally grew on the same root. How can beanstalk torture beans in such a hurry? The first two sentences describe the phenomenon of burning and boiling beans in daily life, while the last sentence focuses on expressing Cao Zhi's inner grief and indignation. He is obviously questioning Cao Pi: You and I are brothers, why are we so hard?
The second sentence, "ran", refers to burning, "weeping", refers to crying; The whole sentence can be interpreted as: the bean stalks are burned under the pot, and the beans are crying in the pot.
