[Edit this paragraph] Translation
The purpose of boiling beans is to filter out the residue of beans and leave the bean juice as soup. The beanstalk burns under the pot, and the beans cry in the pot. We are brothers. Why are you so anxious to hurt me?
note:
Lu believes that the "fermented grains" in the soup are not "black beans" as long as they are from the authentic Shi Shuo Xin Yu. As for other versions of poetry that have been handed down to this day, it can be noted that they should not be listed after the title of Shi Shuo Xin Yu.
There is a version of the word "Zi" with the same root and homology, which is suspected to be modified by modern people. It is not as good as the word "zi"!
There is a word "in" burning under the kettle, and there is a version of "in".
In addition, the seven-step poem consists of four sentences (revised by later generations), represented by Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The first sentence is "Boiling beans and burning beans" and the third sentence is "born from the same root".
Su Jiaoban Primary School Chinese, People Jiaoban Outline Chinese Textbook Volume 12 Lesson 10 Three ancient poems are "Boiling beans and holding soup, fermenting bean juice". Honey burns under the pot, and beans cry in the pot. We are born from the same root, so why rush to speculate with each other? "

In the Southern Dynasties, "Shi Shuo Xin Yu Literature" was published: Wendy wanted Dong to write poetry in seven steps, and if he failed, he would do Dafa. The answer is a poem: "Boil beans as soup and soak them as juice. Glutinous rice is burned in the kettle, and beans weep in the kettle; This is the same root, why rush to speculate with each other? " The emperor was deeply ashamed.
Cao Zhi, the youngest son of Cao Cao, was gifted since childhood and was deeply loved by his father. After Cao Cao's death, his younger brother Cao Pi became the emperor of Wei. Cao Pi is a jealous man. He was worried that his younger brother would threaten his throne and wanted to kill him. One day, Cao Pi called Cao Zhi to him and asked him to write a poem within seven steps to prove his talent in writing poetry. If he can't write it, it will be tantamount to deceiving the emperor and putting him to death.
Cao Zhi was sad and angry when he knew that his brother was going to kill him. He endured grief and thought hard ... Finally, he wrote a seven-step poem and read it out on the spot.
[Edit this paragraph] Appreciate
This poem was written in a purely metaphorical way. The language is simple and clear, and there is no need to explain it. Just a little dredging in individual words and phrases, its significance is self-evident. The "fermented glutinous rice" in the second sentence refers to the filtered cooked fermented soybean, which is used to make sauce. "Fen" refers to beanstalk, which is dried and used as firewood. The powder is cooked with beans from the same root. Metaphor brothers are too tight, give up on themselves and violate heaven, which is naturally unacceptable. The poet's clever metaphor and clever language blurted out in an instant, which was really amazing. For thousands of years, the word "born from the same root, why bother to fry each other" has become a common language to persuade brothers not to kill each other, which shows that this poem is widely circulated among the people.
Through the daily phenomenon of burning beans and boiling beans, Cao Zhi's inner grief and indignation were expressed.
This poem uses the seeds and beans from the same root to compare the half-brothers, and uses the seeds and beans to compare the brothers who killed their younger brothers, vividly and simply reflecting the cruel struggle within the feudal ruling group and the poet's own difficult situation and depressed and resentful feelings.
[Edit this paragraph] Author
Cao Zhi (192 ~ 232), a poet of Wei in the Three Kingdoms period, was born in Guo Peiqiao County (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province). He Zijian is the third son of Cao Cao's wife Bian Shi. Cao Zhi has been brilliant since he was a child. 10 is over 0 years old. He read hundreds of thousands of words of poems, articles and words, and wrote a chapter, which won the favor of Cao Cao. Cao Cao once thought that Cao Zhi was the "most important" among the philosophers, and wanted to make him a prince several times. However, Cao Zhi's laissez-faire behavior and repeated violations of law and discipline aroused Cao Cao's anger, while his younger brother, Cao Pi, was rather pretentious and finally gained the upper hand in the struggle to establish a reserve army, and was made a prince in the twenty-second year of Jian 'an (2 17). In the twenty-fifth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao died of illness, and Cao Pi succeeded to Wei and soon proclaimed himself emperor. Cao Zhi's life has changed fundamentally since then. He has changed from a noble son who lives a leisurely life to the object of being restricted and attacked everywhere. In the seventh year of Huang Chu (226), Cao Pi died of illness, and Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, namely Wei Mingdi. Cao Rui still keeps strict precautions and restrictions on him, and the situation has not fundamentally improved. Cao Zhi moved several times during the period of Emperor Wenming 12, and the last fief was in Chenjun. Cao Zhi died on 12, February 27, 232, so he was called "or" Chen ". Poetry is the main field of Cao Zhi's literary activities. The content of the early stage and the later stage is very different. Early poems can be divided into two categories, one is to express the leisure life of his noble son, and the other is to reflect his feelings of the times when he was born in troubled times and grew up in the army. In his later poems, he mainly expressed his grief and indignation under repression, and expressed his desire not to be abandoned and his desire to make contributions to the world. There are more than 80 poems by Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi has many innovations and developments in the art of poetry. Especially in the creation of five-character poems. First of all, most of the ancient poems in Han Yuefu are narrative, and it was not until Nineteen Ancient Poems that lyric elements occupied an important position in the works. Cao Zhi developed this trend, organically combining lyric and narrative, so that the five-character poems can not only describe the complex changes of events. It can also express tortuous psychological feelings, which greatly enriches its artistic functions. As a master of Jian 'an literature, Cao Zhi had a great influence on later generations. In the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was promoted to the position of article model. Cao Zhi edited 78 selected works before his death. After Cao's death, he collected more than 100 works, including 30 volumes of Sui Shu Classics, 1 volume of Ode to Women, and 5 volumes of Painting Praise. But it was originally hidden in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Cao Zijian 10, a six-year edition of Jiading, Southern Song Dynasty, has 206 poems, poems and essays. The Ming Dynasty, Wang Shixian and Zhang Yan each carved Chen Ji, which was based on the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Ding Yan's Comments on Cao Jiquan and Zhu's Textual Research on Cao Jikao were revised and revised in detail, and many missing sentences were added, which were two complete and precise works. Huang Jie has Cao Zijian's Poetry Talk, Cao Zhi's Poetry Talk in ancient times, and Zhao Youwen's Cao Zhi Collation today.
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.
Although this poem saved Cao Zhi's life, his situation has not been fundamentally improved. Wei still pursued the policy of strict imperial clan, and Cao Zhi died of depression.
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. How many brothers were missing when the monarchy was overthrown and a democratic republic was established? However, unless the privilege is abolished, the "seven-step poem" must be written by someone.
