Hello! I am an international student, temporarily in Shanghai. Want to ask a question! What did Cao Cao mainly do in his life? Cao Cao's poems can be divided into several categories according to their contents.
Cao Cao's life story: Cao Caopei, a native of Qiao County, Han nationality. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms. Conquering the Quartet in the name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty eliminated the separatist forces such as Er Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao and Han Sui at home, surrendered the southern Xiongnu, Wu Huan and Xianbei abroad, unified the northern part of China, and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order, which laid the foundation for the establishment of Cao Wei. Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty before his death, then Wang Wei, and after his death, posthumous title became King Wu. After his son Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he was honored as Emperor Wu, with the temple name Mao.
There are more than twenty poems by Cao Cao, all of which are Yuefu poems. The content can be roughly divided into three categories. One is related to current affairs, the other is mainly to express ideals, and the other is poetry about immortals.
Going out of Xiamen is the first category, which is related to current events.
"Short Songs" shows Cao Cao's thirst for talents and his wide acceptance of talents in order to achieve great things.
