Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was an official when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. His name was Fei. His father Cao Song, formerly known as Xiahou, later became Cao Teng's adopted son, and changed his surname to inherit the Marquis. Cao Cao's nicknames are Shun and Geely, so he is called Cao Aman. In his youth, Cao Cao was resourceful and alert, but he was willful, chivalrous and unruly. Therefore, no one in the society thinks he has any special talents, only Qiao Xuan of Liang thinks he is different. Xuan said to Cao Cao: "The world will be chaotic, and those who can be safe cannot help!" He Qing of Nanyang said to him: "The Han Dynasty will die, and the person who lives in the world must be this person!" Xu Shao, a word general, is famous for knowing people. He once said to Cao Cao, "Zi can rule the world, and troubled times are traitors." (This is quoted from Pei Songzhi's Sun Shengyi's Miscellaneous Words, which needs to be tested. ) 184 He emerged in the Yellow Scarf Uprising at the end of Han Dynasty, and was later named as one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, and participated in the war of the world governors against Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo's death, he developed his own power, fought in troubled times, conquered Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender. In 200 AD 10, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's army of 10,000,000 in Guandu (northeast of zhongmou county, Henan Province), defeated Yuan Shao's army again in Cangting (northeast of guanxian, Henan Province) in 20 AD10, and in 2007 12, he went north to explore the Fifth Ring Road, completely eradicating Yuan Shi. In 208 AD, he became the prime minister of the Eastern Han regime. In July, 208, Cao Cao conquered Liu Biao, Jingzhou, and in February, 65438, he fought with Sun Liu's allied troops in Chibi and lost. 2 1 1 In July, Cao Cao led his troops to the western expedition and defeated the Guanzhong armies headed by Ma Chao, thus laying the foundation of Wei State. In 2 12 AD, Zhang Lu was defeated in Hanzhong, and the tripartite confrontation between the three countries was basically formed. In 2 13 A.D., Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty appointed Cao Cao as the king of Wei, established the imperial palace of Wei in Yecheng, enjoyed the imperial system, and gained the supreme power of "worshipping and leaning against the temple". In 220 AD, Cao Cao died in Luoyang at the age of 66. Posthumous title "Prince of Wu" was buried in Gaoling. Cao Cao never proclaimed himself emperor. After his death, Xelloss proclaimed himself emperor soon after he ascended the throne, and posthumous title became the "Emperor Wu".
Cao Cao reclaimed land in the north to build water conservancy projects, which solved the problem of insufficient rations and played a certain role in the recovery of agricultural production. Employ talents, attract the middle and lower classes of the landlord class, restrain the strongmen and strengthen centralization. The social economy of the ruling area has been restored and developed. The method of selecting a good soldier includes Sun Tzu's Art of War, The Art of War and Meng De's New Book. Good poems, such as "A Journey in the Great Miles" and "Watching the Sea", express political aspirations and reflect the tragic life of the people at the end of the Han Dynasty. They are magnificent, generous and sad. Prose is also neat. His works include Wei Wudi.
Cao Cao is not only an outstanding politician and strategist in the history of China, but also an outstanding writer. He has written military works such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, Good, Sea, Journey in Autumn, Short, Journey to Bitter Cold, Jieshi Pian, etc. Later generations also compiled Cao Cao Ji.
Cao Cao's poems written by Cao Cao were greatly influenced by Yuefu, and all the existing poems are Yuefu songs. Although these poems follow the old theme of Yuefu, they do not follow the poems of the ancients, and are not bound by other ways. Instead, they inherit the spirit of "feeling sadness and joy, born of things". For example, Lu Luxing and Good Li Xing were originally elegies, but Cao Cao used them to mourn the troubled times. "Out of the East Gate" was originally a song lamenting the impermanence of life and the need to eat, drink and be merry in time, but Cao Cao used it to express his ambition to dominate the world and the magnificent scenery he saw when he returned from the Northern Expedition. It can be seen that Cao Cao's innovative folk songs opened up a new style of Jian 'an literature and influenced Du Fu, Bai Juyi and others later.
There are three contents in Cao Cao's poems: reflecting the reality of unrest in the late Han Dynasty, unifying the ideal of the world and the indomitable spirit, and expressing unforgettable negative emotions.
