"The trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; Xinghan is brilliant, if it is unexpected. " The rise and fall of the sun and the moon seem to come from the chest of the sea; The bright stars in the Milky Way also seem to emerge from the embrace of the sea.
Source: Watching the Sea was written by Cao Cao, a poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Original text:
On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea. The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea.
Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging. The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.
Journey to the sun and the moon, if you go out. Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise. I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
Translation:
Climb Jieshi Mountain to the east and enjoy the wonders of the sea. The waves are stirring, and the islands in the sea are listed and towering into the sky. Surrounded by lush trees and flowers, the bleak wind came, the vegetation shook, and the sea set off huge waves, rolling and whistling, as if to engulf the universe.
The ups and downs of the sun and the moon seem to come from the chest of the sea; The bright stars in the Milky Way also seem to emerge from the embrace of the sea. Ah, it's okay. It's wonderful. Let's sing and express our feelings freely.

The whole poem is concise in language, rich in imagination, magnificent, desolate and tragic.
This poem was written by Cao Cao when he climbed Jieshi Mountain on his way to the victory class in Wuhuan. The poet used the magnificent scenery of the sea to express his ambition and broad mind. Judging from the genre of poetry, this is an ancient poem; From the way of expression, this is a four-character landscape poem.
Creation background: Wuhuan was a great disaster in Northeast China at that time. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (2006), Wu Huan invaded Youzhou and captured more than 100,000 Han people. In the same year, Yuan Shang and Yuan, the sons of Yuan Shao, colluded with Ta Dun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border, so that Cao Cao had to resolutely decide to conquer Wuhuan in the 12th year of Jian 'an (207).
Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, he used tricks. Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory in the great war in August this year. This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear areas and laid the foundation for the next year's conquest of the south, with a view to realizing the grand aspiration of reunifying China. "Looking at the Sea" is about the time when Wu Huan, who won the Northern Expedition, crossed Jieshi Mountain and returned to Li.
About the author: Cao Cao (155 ~ 220), born in Mond County (now Bo County, Anhui Province), was an outstanding politician, strategist and writer in Jian 'an era. In the first year of Jian 'an (196), he welcomed Emperor Xu (present-day Henan), took the emperor as a vassal, and successively put down the separatist forces such as Lu Bu. After the battle of Guandu defeated warlord Yuan Shao, the northern part of China was gradually unified.
In the 13th year of Jian 'an (208), he became prime minister and led the army south. He was defeated by Sun Quan and Liu Bei in Chibi. Wang Wei was later blocked. His son Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor and made him Emperor Wu. For the deeds, see Volume 1 of the History of the Three Kingdoms. There are 30 volumes that have been lost. The Ming Dynasty compiled the Collection of Wei Wudi, and now there is the Collection of Cao Cao.
