[Brief analysis]

According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Cao Zhi's brother Cao Pi wanted to persecute Cao Zhi after he proclaimed himself emperor, so he ordered Cao Zhi to write a poem in just seven steps. As a result, Cao Zhi sang this seven-step poem. The poet used the metaphor of fried beans to accuse Cao Pi of cruel persecution of himself and other brothers.

The first two sentences, "Boil beans and burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle", describe the sharp contradiction between "beans" and "beans" and the cruel persecution of beans by beans. The last two sentences are "born from the same root, why speculate with each other!" Make the finishing point and prompt the theme of the poem. The word "the same root" is a pun. On the surface, it means that "glutinous rice" and "beans" grow on the same root. Actually, they were born to the same parents as xelloss, and asked xelloss why he was so anxious about his younger brother and sister.

The metaphor of this poem is very apt, simple and vivid. Although it is still difficult to determine whether this poem itself is really written by Cao Zhi, it reflects the internal contradictions of Cao Wei's ruling group with vivid images, and it is indeed a good poem.

Seven-step poem story

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are both sons of Cao Cao, born of Queen Bian, and are real brothers and sisters. Cao Cao once wanted to make Cao Zhian his heir, because his intelligence was higher than that of his younger brother Xelloss. After Cao Pi ascended the throne (formerly known as Wei Wendi), he still avoided Cao Zhi's ability and persecuted him. This poem came into being under such circumstances.

Beans, tofu and fermented beans are all forms of this plant, which can be said to be "born from the same root". The first sentence depicts the scene of cooking beans and using bean skin as fuel to make bean juice for us. The third and fourth sentences further reveal the relationship between them. Beans endure the suffering of tofu in the pot, and the voice of "glug" seems to be crying. This implies my brother's persecution and grief. The last two sentences, Zhang Xianzhi, the pawn, is not only controlling the demolition, but also resisting.

It is said that the whole poem is completed in seven steps, and the poet's emotion has also experienced a process from tenderness to generation. It is called Yin Wu, but it is actually an allegorical poem with irony. However, due to the special relationship between the poet and the object of condemnation, the poet's tone is euphemistic and deep, with reminders and exhortations in irony. On the one hand, this reflects Cao Zhi's cleverness, on the other hand, it also reflects Cao Pi's cruelty in persecuting his brothers and sisters.

Cao Zhi, a gifted scholar, is personable. This poem is emotionally progressive, using the technique of comparison and xing, from which we can also find the influence of Yuefu poetry. Some anthologies don't have two or three sentences, but this style is still obvious.

Cao Zhi's "Seven-step Poetry"

Cao Shi and his son were famous writers in the Three Kingdoms period, collectively known as the Three Caos, and left many immortal chapters in the history of China literature. Cao Zhi's Seven Steps Poetry is a much-told story, and its significance is no longer the value of the poem itself. It contains profound political connotation and has become a portrayal of brothers' struggle for status, power and property in the long river of history.

Boil beans and burn beans, and the beans cry in the pot. We are born from the same root, so why should we speculate with each other?

Needless to say, this is Cao Zhi's complaint against his younger brother Cao Pi.

Yes, Cao Zhi is indeed an old enemy of Cao Pi. He was especially loved by his father Cao Cao, who once wanted to abolish Cao Pi and make him a prince. It is reasonable to be jealous of xelloss. When Cao Zhi was a teenager, Cao Cao was a little skeptical when he saw Cao Zhi's article. He thought that Cao Zhi had someone write it for him, and Cao Zhi asked his father to test it face to face. After several interviews, Cao Zhi did "export and write it down." If it weren't for the strong opposition of some ministers, Cao Zhi would really be made a prince, and the struggle between Cao Pi and his brother Cao Zhi began from this era.

Once Cao Cao sent troops to fight, both Cao Zhi and Cao Pi came to see him off. Before leaving, Cao Zhi read aloud the flattering articles praising Cao Cao, which everyone appreciated. Cao Pi sent his father away with tears, which moved Cao Cao and made him cry. This small move narrowed the distance between Cao Pi and his father and deepened the relationship between father and son. It seems that what is needed is affection between father and son, not flattery.

On another occasion, Cao Cao wanted to send Cao Zhi to lead the troops to war. Leading troops to war is a symbol of mastering the military power and a symbol of Cao Cao's key training. Of course, Cao Pi was annoyed when he got the news. what should he do ？ Xelloss thought of a fatal trick. He took good wine and food in advance, drank with Cao Zhi and got him drunk. Cao Cao sent someone to preach Cao Zhi, but Cao Zhi was still sleepy after several reminders. Cao Cao was furious and canceled Cao Zhi's decision to lead the troops.

It seems that Cao Zhi only deserves to be an informal writer, but it is difficult to be a resourceful politician.

In the struggle between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, Cao Pi was the winner and eventually inherited the throne of Wei State. It stands to reason that Cao Pi's position and power have been basically consolidated, but the idea of hating Cao Zhi has not changed. How cruel and heartless this is.

In fact, Cao Zhi didn't commit any big crime, but someone accused him of drinking and swearing. He actually detained the emissary sent by Cao Pi, without any signs or signs of recruiting and plotting rebellion. This is not a crime. Cao Pi came up with a method of "seven steps into a poem" to punish his younger brother. Fortunately, exporting poetry is Cao Zhi's specialty, and this "seven-step poem" has become a life-saving poem. Xelloss had to take back his orders and lower Cao Zhi's rank.

Throughout thousands of years of history, it is very pitiful that emperors and their descendants live in harmony, tolerate each other and do not fight for power and profit. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Gong Zijiu and Xiaobai (Qi Huangong) of Qi, Fu Su and Hu Hai (Qin Ershi) of Qin, and the change of Xuanwu Gate of Tang ... There are countless examples of brothers killing each other.

In the feudal era, this phenomenon of fighting for power and profit and killing each other between brothers was the inevitable result of the social system. In that social system where power is everything, it seems normal to fight for power by hook or by crook. Overthrow the monarchy and establish democracy, how many brothers are missing. However, unless the privilege is abolished, the "seven-step poem" must be written by someone.
