Cao Cao [Han Dynasty]
Singing to wine, life geometry!
For example, morning dew is much more difficult to go to Japan.
Be generous, and your troubles will be unforgettable.
How to solve your worries? Only Du Kang. (Only one work: only)
Qingqing is your collar, YY is my miss.
But for your sake, I've thought it over.
A herd of deer, yo, ate mugwort in Ye Yuan.
I have a group of good guests, playing the piano and playing the piano.
As clear as the bright moon, when can I forget it? (Ming Zuo:)
The troubles come from this and cannot be cut off.
The weirder, the more useless.
Talk about it, and remember the past. (chat? Op. 1: Talking about Banquet)
There are few stars on the moon, and blackbirds fly south.
Turn around the tree three times, what branches can you rely on?
The mountain is never too high, and the sea is never too deep.
The duke of Zhou vomited, and the world returned to the heart.
Translation:
Singing while drinking, how many years left in life.
Just like the morning dew is fleeting, so much time has passed!
The song at the banquet was impassioned, but the sadness in my heart was hard to forget.
By what to alleviate depression? Only drink wine.
Scholar, you make me miss you day and night.
It is because of you that I have been chanting deeply to this day.
Deer hummed in the sun and ate mugwort leaves in Yuan Ye.
Once talented people from all over the world come to our home, I will entertain guests in blowing sheng.
When can I pick the bright moon hanging in the sky?
Deep worries can't stop.
Guests from afar came to visit me across the criss-crossing fields.
Meet again after a long separation, have a heart-to-heart talk and relive the kindness of the past.
There are few stars in the moon, and a group of nesting magpies fly south.
Flying around trees for weeks without breaking their wings, where can they live?
The mountains do not hesitate to look at the towering rocks, but the sea does not abandon the trickle to see the grandeur.
I would like to be as courteous as the Duke of Zhou, and I would like the heroes of the world to submit to me sincerely.

Creative background:
There are five theories about the writing time of this poem in academic circles. 1. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, based on Su Shi's "Poem on Red Cliff", advocates that Cao Cao recite this poem "Drinking and Writing Songs" before the Chibi War, and the time is set at the end of the 13th year of Jian 'an (2008). The second is the theory of seeking talents, which comes from Zhang Keli's Chronicle of Three Caos: "While seeking talents, we express our eager desire to recruit talents." The time was in the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10). Third, cross-strait harmony and singing originated from ten thousand. He believes that this poem was written in the first year of Jian 'an in Han Dynasty (196), and Cao Cao moved the Emperor Gaozu to Xudu, and Cao Cao made friends with his confidants and sang it. Fourth, eat, drink, and be merry. The exact time has not been verified. This sentence is Shen Deqian's "The Source of Ancient Poetry" Volume 5: "A Short Song". It is also fun to say it in time. Fifthly, Wang Qing hosted Wu Wan Khan at a banquet in May of the 21st year of Jian 'an (2 16).
Appreciate:
"Short songs" is an old topic in Han Yuefu, which belongs to "harmony and flat tone". This means that it was originally the name of a song. The original ancient characters have been lost. There are 24 songs of the same name in Yuefu, the earliest of which is Cao Cao's. How to sing this song, of course, is unknown now. However, in Yuefu's Harmony Tune, there are "long tunes" as well as "short tunes". Jason Wu's Interpretation of Ancient Poems in Yuefu in Tang Dynasty quoted the ancient poems Long song in Full swing, Ge Yanxing and Short Songs Can't Grow by Wei Wendi Cao Pi, Ge Yanxing and Ge Yanxing by Fu Xuan in Jin Dynasty, and The Governor came to Long song to continue short songs. Now we can only understand the musical characteristics of "short songs" according to this little material. Of course, this song "Short Song" originally had corresponding lyrics, that is, "Yuefu Ancient Ci", but this ancient ci has been lost. The earliest short line that can be seen now is Cao Cao's quasi-Yuefu short line. The so-called "quasi-Yuefu" is to make up new words with old Yuefu songs. There are two short songs written by Cao Cao, and here is the first one.
The theme of this "short song" is very clear, that is, the author is thirsty for talents and hopes that all talents will come to him. In his political activities, in order to expand his ruling base among civilian landlords and crack down on reactionary hereditary forces, Cao Cao once strongly emphasized that "meritocracy means promotion", and for this reason, he successively promulgated the orders of seeking talents, promoting scholars and escaping. In fact, "short song" is a "song of seeking the virtuous", and it is precisely because it uses the form of poetry and contains rich lyrical elements that it can play a unique infectious role, effectively publicize his persistence and cooperate with his decrees.
Just like Cao Cao's other poems, such as Good Li Xing, Duijiu, A Bitter Cold Trip, etc. Song Xing is a highly political poem, which mainly serves Cao Cao's political line and strategy at that time. However, its political content and significance are completely integrated into the rich lyrical artistic conception. The whole poem gives full play to the specialty of poetry creation, accurately and skillfully uses metaphor, and achieves the goal of combining reason with emotion and touching. In the era of Cao Cao, he was able to achieve the expected social effect according to the special laws of lyric poetry, and this kind of creative experience is obviously worth learning. At the same time, because Cao Cao's emphasis on "meritocracy" at that time had certain progressive significance, his highly artistic performance on the theme of "seeking talents" should also be affirmed by history.
Cao Cao
Cao Cao (155-220 Gengzi in the first month), whose real name is Meng De, aunt Geely, born in Peiguoqiao (now Bozhou, Anhui), is of Han nationality. An outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After Cao Pi, the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms, proclaimed himself emperor, he was honored as Emperor Wu, with the temple name Taizu. Cao Cao is good at writing poems, expressing his political ambitions and reflecting the tragic life of the people in the late Han Dynasty. He is ambitious, generous and sad. Prose is also neat, which opens and prospers Jian 'an literature and leaves precious spiritual wealth to future generations. Historically, it was called Jian 'an Style, and Lu Xun rated it as "the founder of reforming articles". At the same time, Cao Cao is good at calligraphy, especially at carving grass. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaiguan named it a "wonderful flower" at the end of Shu.
