On Cao Cao's literary common sense

Cao Cao, whose real name is Meng De, is from Geely, fine print and Guo Peiqiao County. 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. Cao Cao's literary works 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:

1. Works related to current affairs to some extent include Lu Luxing, Good Li Xing, Bitter Cold Journey, Walking Out of Xiamen Journey, etc. They expressed their political ambitions and reflected the miserable life of the people in the late Han Dynasty, with great boldness of vision and generosity.

1, two songs by Qiu Lu Xing and Hao, written in the early years of Jian 'an. The foregoing reflects that He Jinmou murdered eunuchs, and Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang for insurrection. The second article is about the states and counties in Kanto, each with its own ambitions, fighting with each other, and keeping pace with each other in content. Poetry writes this historical process in concise language, so it is known as "a true record of the late Han Dynasty, an authentic work of poetry history".

2. The Journey to Bitter Cold was written in the 11th year of Jian 'an. The poem describes the coldness, desolation and precipitousness of Taihang Mountain in winter, with vivid images, and also writes the poet's inner complex feelings.

3. "Step out of Xiamen" was written in the twelfth year of Jian 'an, when three counties levied Wuhuan. This poem includes "Yan" (prelude) and four explanations. Yan concentrated on the poet's complex mood when he went to war. Explain "Watching the Sea" and write the impressions when marching through Jieshi; Second, explain Winter in October. Third, write about what you saw and heard on your way home. Fourth, explain "although the tortoise lives long" and write about the ideological activities after winning this important battle.

2. The poems that mainly express ideals are Du Guanshan, Duijiu, and Short Song.

1, the first two articles are about political ideals. His vision of peace and prosperity is the politics of virtuous monarch and good minister, which combines Confucianism and law with kindness and prestige. This is undoubtedly of progressive significance under the realistic background of social destruction in the late Han Dynasty.

2. The theme of "Short Song" is to be thirsty for talents. With poems such as "the mountain is not too high, the sea is not too deep, the duke of Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to the heart", he expresses his desire to seek talents, recruit talents and achieve his great cause.

In addition, Cao Cao has many other articles handed down from generation to generation, such as please add Guo Jia's feudal list to make counties self-evident, write books and kings, and offer sacrifices to the old Taiwei Bridge. Simple words, vivid feelings, fluency and frankness.

Extended data:

1. Cao Cao is a good writer, but probably because he is busy with war and politics, he has no chance to write, so there are few ink circulating around the world. Zheng Qiao in Song Dynasty only included a big tablet written by Cao Cao in The Story of the Stone. Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty only talked about the River Festival Table written by Cao Cao in the Yuan Dynasty. Qing Ye Yibao said in Jin Shilu that Cao Cao had written the words "worshipping Tai Tai" on the side of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang.

2. When Cao Cao was in Hanzhong, the word "Xue Kun" written on a big stone of Nanbao River in Shimen has now moved into Hanzhong Museum. ? The word "Xue Kun" in Bozhou's "Cao Cao's Underground Troop Transport Road" is based on the extension for a moment; The two small characters "Wang Wei" engraved on it were blurred because of their straightness and were imitated by later generations.
