Climb Jieshi Mountain to the east, and you can feel the sea.
How vast the sea is, and the mountain island stands high on the seaside.
Trees and herbs are clustered together and are very lush.
The autumn wind blows the trees and makes a sad sound, and the sea is rough.
The movement of the sun and the moon seems to start from this vast ocean.
The Milky Way is dotted with stars, as if it were born in this vast ocean.
Fortunately, let's use poetry to express our thoughts.
Cao Cao worked hard all his life and fought in the north and south, but he couldn't put it down and loved literature. His poems inherited the Book of Songs and the fine realistic tradition of Yuefu in Han Dynasty, wrote current events and expressed his feelings in Yuefu, which reflected the thoughts and feelings of a politician.
Cao Cao's poetic style is generous and sad, gloomy and vigorous, heroic and magnificent; Language is simple and vigorous, make good use of it. Cao Cao's prose is mainly a practical document with preface, which is rarely bound by tradition in content and form. It has a free, smooth and unpretentious style and is praised by Lu Xun as "the founder of transforming articles".
Seeing the sea is the first chapter for Cao Cao to walk out of Xiamen. During the Jian 'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao used Xu You's plan to defeat his main rival in the north, the great warlord Yuan Shao. The remnants of Yuan Shao fled to Wuhuan (a minority regime in Liaodong Peninsula at that time), hoping to get the support of Wuhuan in order to make a comeback. Cao Cao pursued the victory and conquered Wu Huan. In Jian 'an 12 of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in 207 AD, Cao Cao waved his whip to the north and defeated Wu Huan. On his way home, Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain (located in the southwest of Dongting County, Hebei Province). The mountain no longer exists, and it is said that it has sunk to the bottom of the sea. Watch the magnificent scenery of the sea. At this time, Cao Cao was full of ambition and high spirits, and wrote a book with a brush, so he had a poem "Watching the Sea".
To appreciate this poem, I think we can appreciate it according to the author's idea of "what did he see"-"what did he think"-"what did he express".
The first two sentences of the poem are "Jieshi sees the sea in the East". The sea, that is, the sea, means "I climbed Jieshi Mountain in the east to see the sea." These two periods show the place where the poet sees the sea-Jieshi Mountain, in which the words "pro" and "view" convey the poet's high-spirited spirit of foresight and indomitable spirit. At this time, Cao Cao was invincible, victorious, full of ambition, high-spirited, ambitious, and swallowed mountains and rivers. He was an image of a "retired talent" (far from being compared with the late Prime Minister Cao, who lost his mind after Battle of Red Cliffs's defeat).
