It's a song about wine, life geometry.
expresses the short sorrow of life. The reason for the sorrow is that we can't get many "talents" to cooperate with him and make contributions together. Even Cao Cao, such a powerful person, is actually worried about seeking talents, and its propaganda function is self-evident.
The theme of Singing to Wine is very clear, that is, the author hopes to have a large number of talents for his own use. In his political activities, in order to expand his ruling base among landlords in commoners and crack down on reactionary hereditary powerful forces, Cao Cao once strongly emphasized that "meritocracy is the promotion", and for this reason, he successively issued the Order of Seeking Talents, the Order of Recruiting Scholars and the Order of Seeking Escape. And "Short Songs" is actually a "Song of Seeking the Virtue", and because it uses the form of poetry and contains rich lyrical elements, it can play a unique infectious role, effectively publicize his insistence and cooperate with the decrees issued by him. Extended information
A short line of songs is an old topic of Han Yuefu, which belongs to Xianghe Geci Pingdiaoqu. This means that it was originally the name of a piece of music. The singing of this music has been lost. However, in Yuefu's "Harmony Songs and Pingdiaoqu", there are also "Long Songs" in addition to "Short Songs". In Tang Dynasty, Wu Jing's "Interpretation of Ancient Poems in Yuefu" quoted the ancient poem "Long song is in full swing", Wei Wendi's Cao Pi's "Yan Ge Xing", "Short songs can't be long" and Jin Dynasty's Fu Xuan's "Yan Ge Xing" and "DuDu came to Long song to continue short songs".
At present, we can only understand the musical characteristics of A Short Song Line based on this material. The music "A Short Song Line" originally had a corresponding lyric, that is, "Yuefu Ancient Lyrics", but this ancient lyric has been lost. The earliest "Short Songs" that can be seen now is Cao Cao's "Two Short Songs", which is a quasi-Yuefu (using old Yuefu songs to supplement new words).
