Poetry allusions
This allusion comes from Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu Literature in the Southern Dynasties: Emperor Wen tried to get Dong to write a seven-step poem, and if he failed, he would do Dafa. The answer is a poem: "Boil beans as soup and ferment beans as juice. Beans burn in the kettle, and beans cry in the kettle; This is the same root, why rush to speculate with each other? " The emperor was deeply ashamed. Cao Zhi, the third son of Cao Cao, was gifted since childhood and loved by his father. After Cao Cao's death, his brother Cao Pi succeeded to Wang Wei of Cao Cao and later usurped the throne as emperor. Because Cao Pi was worried that Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong (the fourth son) would have future troubles, he questioned and persecuted them on the grounds of his father's death. Cao Xiong committed suicide because of fear. Xelloss reluctantly gave Cao a chance to blurt out a poem within seven steps, otherwise he would be killed without forgiveness. Cao Zhi wrote this seven-step poem. Cao Pi understood the truth of Cao Zhi's poem: if he killed Cao Zhi, he would be laughed at by the world, but his greed still made him lose his mind, so he put Cao Zhi under house arrest. Finally, Cao Zhi died of depression under his brother's house arrest.
This poem was written in a purely metaphorical way. The language is simple and the meaning is clear. Just a little clarification on individual words is self-evident. The poet made a wonderful analogy, used clever language and blurted it out in an instant, which was really amazing. For thousands of years, the phrase "born from the same root, why bother to fry each other" has become people's advice to avoid brothers' failure and contradiction. Expressed Cao Zhi's inner grief and indignation. The authenticity of the true seven-step poem has always been controversial. Among them, what Guo Moruo said is more reasonable. He thought of Cao Zhi's seven-step poem: "If you look closely, I'm afraid there are many components in collateral poems. Many people are dissatisfied with Cao Pi because they sympathize with him, so they made this novel. In fact, xelloss wants to kill Cao Zhi, why use forcing him to write poems as an excuse? He is not ignorant that Zijian is the best. Besides, if he really wants to kill him, he can still kill the poem. Why is he "deeply ashamed" just after being ridiculed? So the authenticity of this poem is really less. But because of writing this poem, Cao Zhi maintained sympathy for thousands of years, and Cao Pi was excluded for thousands of years. This is really the so-called' who cares who is behind'. " However, some people questioned his statement. Some people say that Cao Pi asked Cao Zhi to write a seven-step poem just as an excuse to kill him. He thought that Cao Zhi would definitely not succeed, but he didn't expect it. Even xelloss himself was a little touched. In order to keep his reputation and protect the world, he let Cao Zhi go. There is another saying: Cao Zhi made a mistake, and Cao Pi deliberately let him go, knowing that Cao Zhi had the intelligence to write a poem in seven steps, so he was ordered to write a poem in seven steps.
