Key words: Cao Cao and Tao Yuanming's life realm middle picture classification number: I206 Document identification number: A Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms period were the most turbulent period in China's history, and also the most prosperous period in history. At that time, many celebrities emerged. They were free to act and spoke amazingly, pursuing their own ideal life and despising the external ideological and moral and secular concepts. Although Cao Cao and Tao Yuanming are not representatives of these figures, they are influenced by the ethos of the times, and their thoughts and behaviors are quite strange, so that they are vilified as traitors scolded by everyone and hermits admired by everyone.
They are all famous poets with simple poetic style, "Cao Gong is ancient and straight" and "Yuan and Ming poems are plain and natural". Although this style has not been highly praised by Zhong Rong in Shi Pin, this kind of poetry directly shows the author's spiritual world, which is convenient for us to know the author through his works.
Cao Cao is a successful hero. His great ambition, broad mind, majestic momentum and enterprising spirit really shocked people.
This is fully reflected in Cao Cao's poems. The first exciting poem "Looking at the Sea" is magnificent, with magnificent artistic conception and lasting shock. The realm of his poems is really amazing, as if he had the spirit of devouring the sun and the moon and embracing the rivers. Without the king's spirit of looking down on China and pointing out the mountains and rivers, how can there be something exciting to drive the sun and the moon to be magnificent?
Such an all-encompassing and overbearing poem can only be written by a politician with extraordinary ability like Cao Cao. As written by ordinary literati, the scenery in his works may be magnificent, but it will inevitably turn into sadness in the end. In his poems, Cao Cao showed the mind and qualities necessary for an aspiring politician.
He is thirsty for talents and respects talents. "The Duke of Zhou vomited, and the world returned to the heart"; He is ambitious, old and strong, and sings "An old horse crouching tiger, aiming for a thousand miles." The politician's broad mind, especially his indomitable spirit, is really admirable. Cao Cao's poems can strongly arouse people's lofty sentiments, ignite people's inner heroic dreams and bring unparalleled spiritual impact to people.
After Tao Yuanming retired, he was almost like a farmer, not to mention any achievements. He completely gave up his political pursuit, and every day he "picked chrysanthemums under the hedge and saw Nanshan leisurely", or "woke up in the morning, cleaned up the waste and took the lotus home."
"Since the pre-Qin period, influenced by Confucian culture, all scholars have made it their ideal to obtain official positions, display their talents and serve the country. As the saying goes, "learning martial arts is a matter of royalty." Literati tend to have a high opinion of themselves, so it is difficult for them to enter the officialdom and gain a foothold in the complicated officialdom. Therefore, works are often full of talent.
