"Du Kang is the only solution", which is what drunkards often say, and there is an artistic conception of drinking to drown their sorrows. This poem is from "A Short Song Line", which expresses the feelings that can relieve the sadness in the heart. Only wine is available. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao pacified the north and fought against Sun Quan with millions of lions. The night scene was beautiful at that time, so he put wine and music on the river. Poetry is written horizontally, which is generous.
I believe many people have heard the second poem, "An old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles", which has become the motto of many people. This poem comes from "Although a turtle lives for a long time", which says: Even if you are older than an ambitious person, you are still ambitious. This poem was written after he put down the rebellion in Wuhuan and got rid of the remnants of Yuan Shao, because these things made Cao Cao, who was 53 years old at that time, feel that the great cause of the motherland has not been unified, and it seems that such an important task still exists and cannot be relaxed.
"What is life for drinking wine?" It can be said that it is sung through the ages. This poem comes from "Short Songs", which means that you should sing in front of wine. After all, life is too short to disappear like morning dew. Eat, drink and be merry in time. In fact, Cao Cao wanted to express the poet's desire for virtue and his ambition to unify the world through the songs at the banquet. This poem can also be used in daily life to advocate people's positive and optimistic attitude towards life.
Cao Cao is not only very good at the art of war, but also expresses his ideological ambition and the sufferings of the people at the end of the Han Dynasty in his poems, leaving us a lot of spiritual wealth.
