Poetry: "Looking at the Sea" Han Dynasty: Cao Cao
On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea. The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea.
Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging. The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.
A trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise. I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
Translation:
The poet climbed to the top of Jieshi Mountain, overlooking the sea, with rough waves, towering islands and panoramic views of the sea.
Although the autumn wind is bleak, the vegetation is withered and the waves are rough, the island is lush with trees and rich in herbs, giving people a poetic feeling. I am very happy, so I use this poem to express my inner ambition.

Creation background
Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain on his way back to Wuhuan Northern Expedition. As a commander-in-chief, Cao Cao climbed the Jieshi, and Qin Huang and Wu Han also climbed the Jieshi, feeling as uneasy as the sea. Therefore, I wrote this poem, integrating my grand ambition and broad mind into the poem and expressing it through the image of the sea.
This poem is full of scenery, in which there is no direct expression of feelings, but reading the whole poem can still make people feel the feelings deeply entrusted by the poet.
Through the poet's vivid description of the rough sea, readers seem to see Cao Cao's great ambition and grand mind of forging ahead and unifying the world, and touch the ideological and emotional flow of Cao Cao as a poet, politician and strategist in a typical environment.
