Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are both sons of Cao Cao, and both were born to Empress Dowager Bian. They are true siblings. Cao Cao once wanted to make Cao Zhi his heir because he was more intelligent than his brother Cao Pi. After Cao Pi ascended the throne (initially known as Emperor Wen of Wei), he was still jealous of Cao Zhi's ability and persecuted him. This poem was produced under such circumstances.
Beans, beans, and tempeh are all various forms of the bean plant. It can be said that they "originally grow from the same root." The first sentence describes for us the scene of cooking beans, using bean sprouts as fuel to make bean juice. The third and fourth sentences further reveal the relationship between the two. The beans endured the torment of the beans in the pot, and the sound of "gudu" seemed to be crying. This alludes to the persecution of her by her brother and her own grief and anger. The last two sentences show the ambition, which is both control and resistance.
The entire poem is said to be completed in seven steps, and the poet's emotions also experienced a process from gentle to bursting out. It's called Yinwu, but it's actually a satirical allegorical poem. However, due to the special relationship between the poet and the object of his condemnation, the poet's tone is tactful and profound, with reminders and exhortations included in the sarcasm. On the one hand, this reflects Cao Zhi's intelligence, on the other hand, it also reflects Cao Pi's cruelty in persecuting his brothers.
Cao Zhi is a man of great talent and a handsome and vigorous writing style. This poem advances the emotions layer by layer and uses Bixing techniques. The influence of Yuefu poetry can also be found in it. Some selections do not have two or three sentences, but the style is still obvious.
