In Mao Zedong's "Langtaosha Beidaihe", "In the past thousands of years, Wei Wu waved his whip and Jieshi was left to the east." Wei Wudi in the novel refers to Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the "legacy" refers to Cao Cao's Watching the Sea.
Viewing the Sea is a four-character poem written by Cao Cao, a poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This poem is a magnificent picture of the sea when Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain and watched the sea with a lot of romantic passion. It depicts the magnificence of the motherland's rivers and mountains, not only the magnificence of mountains and seas, but also the enterprising spirit of the poet who lives by heaven and cares about the world.

"Looking at the sea" original:
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:
Go east, climb Jieshi Mountain and enjoy the boundless sea. How vast the sea is, and the mountain island stands high on the seaside. Trees and herbs flourish.
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 emanate from this vast ocean.
The Milky Way galaxy is full of stars, as if they were born from this vast ocean. I am fortunate to use this poem to express my inner ambition.
Creative background:
Wuhuan was a great disaster in Northeast China at that time. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (2006), Wu Huan invaded Youzhou and captured more than 100,000 Han people. In the same year, Yuan Shang and Yuan, the sons of Yuan Shao, colluded with Ta Dun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border, so that Cao Cao had to resolutely decide to conquer Wuhuan in the 12th year of Jian 'an (207). Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, he used tricks.
Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory in the great war in August this year. This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear areas and laid the foundation for the next year's conquest of the south, with a view to realizing the grand aspiration of reunifying China. "Looking at the Sea" is about the time when Wu Huan, who won the Northern Expedition, crossed Jieshi Mountain and returned to Li.
