From Jian 'an, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, to the early years of Huang Dynasty in Wei Wendi? 196-226? , is a golden age in the history of China's poetry. Under the advocacy of Cao Shi and his son, the realistic spirit of "feeling sad and happy, starting from something" in Yuefu poems in Han Dynasty has been inherited and carried forward. A group of poets who met after a long separation, witnessed hardships, and were willing to face up to reality, not only wrote the social truth into the pen, but also injected their own true feelings.
The most valuable literary works in this period, besides reflecting the war and people's suffering, are chapters expressing the ideals and ambitions of making contributions to the country. The representative works in this field are Cao Cao's Gui Although Shou and Cao Zhi's White Horse Piece. If Ghost Blows the Lamp is a "song of a strong man" who lives in seclusion, then "White Horse" is an "ideal song" of a heroic teenager. The poem depicts a white horse hero who is good at martial arts and loyal to the country.
