The poems about the plague are as follows:
Cao Cao’s poem "A Walk in the Grass" describes the suffering of the people during the war, plague, and famine in the early years of Jian'an. Among them, "the bones are exposed in the wild." ", there is no cockcrow for a thousand miles" is a true portrayal of the plague. In the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), the plague ravaged the entire north. This year, Cao Zhi wrote in his article "Speaking of Epidemic Gas": "The disease is prevalent, and every family has the pain of zombies, and every room has wailing mourning. Some people will die with the door closed, or some people will be overthrown and mourned. ”
Su Shi’s “There is no rice in the door salary, and there is no smoke in the kitchen stove” and “I dare not knock on the door to ask for night talk, but I always give rice to continue cooking in the morning.” The hardship is evident. What was Huizhou like at that time in Su Shi's poems? "Huizhou Xie Biao" has "But in a land of miasma, monsters and monsters are neighbors"; in "Books with Wang Xiang" there is "In a land of miasma, stiff servants belong to the front, but they all have something to take; unless the cold or warmth is inappropriate, then If one does not suffer from excessive hunger and fullness, he will not suddenly become ill.
"With Lin Tianhe and Chief" there is a line: "Miasma and epidemics are flowing across the river, and the dead servants are invincible. What can I do!" No way! ”
