Haolixing
Cao Cao [Han Dynasty]
The soldiers of the Kwantung Army rose up against the cruel people.
On the first day of the first date, General Ding Meng went to attack Dong Zhuo in Chang 'an.
Dong Zhuo's army came together, each with its own plans, looked at each other and refused to stand out.
These two sentences led to the battle of various armies, and then the armies of various armies killed each other.
Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, and the emperor Yuan Shaomou carved the emperor in the north.
Because of the war, soldiers have long been unable to take off their battle clothes, their armor is covered with lice, and many people have died because of years of war.
The bones were bare in the field, and there was no one among them, and there was no crowing.
It is extremely sad to think that only one person in a hundred people is alive.

The generals of all the counties in Kanto fought against these cruel people, Dong Zhuo and his henchmen.
Originally, I expected the generals from all walks of life to meet and make concerted efforts to crusade against Chang 'an Zhuo.
As a result, everyone has his own plans and is not equal. They look at each other, and neither of them will take the lead.
Power and wealth caused competition among armies, and then the armies killed each other.
Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, Yuan Shaomou set up a puppet emperor and carved the emperor's seal in the north.
Soldiers fought all the year round, and their armor was covered with lice, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people.
Many bones were exposed in the wilderness and no one buried them. There are no people for thousands of miles in Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang, and crows can't be heard.
It is heartbreaking to think that only one out of a hundred ordinary people can survive.
The first ten sentences of this poem outline such a historical picture: the generals of the counties in Guandong elected Yuan Shao, the governor of the Bohai Sea, as the ally leader, ready to attack Dong Zhuo, who burned the palace and destroyed the temple, held Xian Di hostage and moved the capital to Chang 'an, which was immoral and shameless, bringing disaster to the country and the people. At that time, although the armies of various counties gathered together, they looked at each other, hesitated, and even had their own plans. They even kill each other for hegemony and personal gain. If the commandment fails, it will be followed by a pen attack. The poet mercilessly exposed the fact that the Yuan Shao brothers plotted to claim the title of emperor, cast seals, help the Han Dynasty in the name of Dong Zhuo and dominate the world, and felt sad and indignant at the war caused by it. The poem describes the split process of Kanto from aggregation to dispersion in extremely concise language, which becomes a true record of history. However, the success and value of Cao Cao's poem do not stop there. Since "armour begets lice", the poet has turned his pen and ink from recording the facts of warlords' disputes to describing the disasters brought by war to the people. While exposing the warlord's disaster to the country and the people, he showed infinite sympathy for the people and his concern and anxiety about state affairs, which made his poems transcend ordinary notes and reflected the poet's concern for the country and the people.
The following six sentences "A raw louse" describe the disasters brought to soldiers and people by the war and the author's feelings. "Armor gives birth to lice" describes the long war. Soldiers have been fighting for many years, and people don't understand armor, and horses don't unload their saddles. Its suffering can be imagined. "Ten thousand people die" is about people dying in the war, which shows the tragic disaster of the war. "White bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no crows in a thousand miles." Describe a bleak and tragic picture in the war with concise language. From the visual experience, the white bones in the wild are so pale; Auditively speaking, the vast land is dead and silent, and there is no breath of life. The chicken barks and the dog barks. These ordinary farmers are deaf. As soon as the author turns his face, he will naturally be deeply grieved.
This poem reveals the causes of social disasters more profoundly than Lu Luxing, and more frankly shows his dissatisfaction with reality and sympathy for the people. Cao Cao himself really entered the political arena, starting with his and Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo. So the facts written in the poem are all his own personal experiences. Compared with the things described in Lu Luxing, the poet has a more direct and emotional understanding, so the reality reflected in the poem is more real and the feelings are stronger. For example, the last two sentences are entirely the poet's sympathy for the world under the real situation that the people are in dire straits and sad everywhere.
