The connotation of Jian 'an should at least include the following aspects:
1. Jun Qing. Cao Cao ruled the world with the curse of criminal name, and pommel horse wrote poems. His writing is concise, sharp and vigorous, with few quotations and straightforward expression, so his writing style is distinct and strict, giving people a sense of neatness.
2. Connect and disconnect. Cao Cao conquered the world on horseback, and he had a profound understanding of life and death. At the same time, as a Han minister, he finally took the position, and it is not too much to judge him by daring to break the tradition. For example, "Let the princess know her own story" pours out her life's worries with simple writing, which has the majestic boldness of a politician and the edge of struggle. The article said: "If the country is not alone, I wonder how many people will be emperors and how many will be kings." These words are beyond Cao Cao's power. All these require a kind of courage or a different attitude towards life, which is manifested in him as getting rid of the atmosphere, being strong and stirring. (Tongtuo's modern Chinese dictionary is interpreted as: accessible but refined, not eclectic. )
3. Good words. During the Jian 'an period, there were few ideological constraints, and poets spoke freely, trying to fully express themselves, and they talked about everything. For example, Cao Zhi's Exposed Articles said: "I would like to make progress and lose to Mingjun. With this Wang Zuocai, he is generous and unique. "
4. Huami. In Jian 'an poems, the magnificent wind began with Cao Zhi, and the seven sons began after. For example, Cao Zhi's "Beauty Map" imitates China Yuefu Shang Mo Sang, but its meticulous description and gorgeous rhetoric are quite different from Shang Mo Sang, showing this tendency. On the one hand, it embodies the consciousness of literature and the formation of self-artistic style, on the other hand, it also lays the groundwork for Taikang's later extravagance.
5. sadness. When the independence of poetry is a special literary form, it is basically sad and depressed, and grief and indignation can produce good poetry. Moreover, the national strength and national conditions of Jian 'an period and Hanwu Tang Zong are completely incomparable, and the significance of expedition is completely different. Jian 'an's war is called war, and everyone is living in troubled times. During the Han and Tang dynasties, "whoever commits my big fellow will be punished for thousands of miles" and "Tiankhan" spread all over the world. This is the real generosity. Then, the tone of the literature in troubled times during the Jian 'an War can be imagined. The people are in an uncertain state, and these poets, as people who have the opportunity and ability to change their own destiny, face real life, make positive contributions and are full of optimism. Represented by the image in Cao Zhi's early "White Horse", they created a patriotic brave image with high martial arts, eager to make contributions to the country and even willing to sacrifice themselves, full of heroic optimism: "Feathers come from the north and horses climb high." The dragon drove to the Huns, and the left looked around and led Xianbei. ..... died of national disaster, sudden death. "But at the same time, it is difficult to hide the uneasy psychology of impermanence of fate and short life. For example, in Cao Zhi's later masterpiece "Wang Biao for a White Horse", "Change in the future, who can hold it for a hundred years" reveals the poet's precarious tension.
