Guan Canghai and Cao Cao explained in detail.

Translation:

Climb Jieshi Mountain to the east to see the sea.

How vast the sea is, and the mountain island stands high on the seaside.

Trees and herbs are lush.

The autumn wind blows the trees and makes a sad sound, and the sea is rough.

The movement of the sun and the moon seems to start from this vast ocean.

The Milky Way is dotted with stars, as if it were born in this vast ocean.

What luck! Just use poetry to express your feelings.

Creation background

"Looking at the Sea" was written in September of the 12th year of Jian 'an (2007), when Cao Cao marched north to Wu Huan and wiped out Yuan Shao's remnants. This four-character poem depicts the magnificence of the motherland's rivers and mountains through the natural scenery that the poet saw when he climbed to the sea. It not only depicts the moving images of mountains and seas, but also expresses the heroic and optimistic enterprising spirit of the poet.

This poem, the sea, the mountain island, the vegetation and the autumn wind are all immediate scenery, but the sun, the moon and the stars in the following article are imaginary scenery of Cao Cao, not real scenery. This poem is not only full of scenery, but also unique. It is the earliest masterpiece of landscape poetry in China, especially loved by literary historians.

This poem, written on the autumn sea, can wash away the sentimental sentiment of sad autumn and is vigorous and magnificent, which is closely related to Cao Cao's tolerance, personality and even aesthetic taste.
