Luo Shen Fu is a famous work by Cao Zhi. Is it about his sister-in-law?

There are different opinions about Luo Shen Fu. One view is that Cao Zhi created an ideal image of Luo Shen to commemorate his late sister-in-law, while the other view is that Cao Zhi did not commemorate his sister-in-law, nor did he specifically name anyone, and there is no clear record in history.

Cao Zhi's fate is not very good, although Cao Cao likes him very much, and because he grew up in a military camp, he is smart and knowledgeable. But because he is bohemian, loves freedom and drinks. Once, he drank too much and began to argue with xelloss about who should be the prince. As a result, Cao Pi gained the upper hand. After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he naturally had a hard time with him, so he began to give Cao Zhi a hard time and was constantly demoted.

Cao Zhi really liked his sister-in-law. After Zhen's death, Cao Zhi went to Beijing. Seeing Zhen's relics, he couldn't help but feel sad and began to cry again. Because I miss Queen Zhen so much, coupled with the hard work on the road, my mind is a little unclear, and I have the appearance of Queen Zhen in front of me, so I picked up a pen and wrote this song "Luo Shenfu". So, who is this poem for?

Although many people think it's for Zhen Empress, I don't think so. Because it was immoral to like sister-in-law in the social environment at that time, it was impossible for Cao Zhi to write such a poem in public to commemorate sister-in-law.

At that time, Cao Zhi described a beautiful infatuation in Luo Shen Fu, but it was suspected because of mutual distrust. Being framed repeatedly, I feel hopeless. You can't be with the person you like.

So it seems that this work is more like a metaphor written by Cao Zhi.
