Qiuluhang
However, in the twenty-two years of the Han dynasty, it was not good.
Wash a monkey crown, know small and strive for strength.
Hesitant, afraid to break through, because the inaugural king.
Bai Hong is also the first to bear the brunt of Japan's infiltration.
Thieves and ministers hold the national handle to kill the Lord and destroy Yujing.
Swing through the emperor's inheritance, the ancestral temple was burned.
Spread all over the west and cry.
Looking at Belo City, I am very sad.
Translation:
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the 22nd emperor of the Han family, is really inappropriate in employing people. Braise is like a monkey in a coat and hat. He has no wisdom but wants to plan such a big event as killing eunuchs. As a result, because he was indecisive and didn't dare to do it, the emperor was taken out by Zhang Rang and others. Finally, He Jin was killed by Zhang Rang and others. Then Dong Zhuo, the thief, entered Beijing and gained the right of the country. After killing Emperor Han Shao, he also destroyed Luoyang. He completely overthrew the regime of the Han Dynasty and burned down the Liu ancestral hall. So, wrapped in Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu moved officials and people from one place to Chang 'an, with bones everywhere and crying everywhere. Looking at the battlements in Luoyang, I feel extremely sad like a child.

The laurel of "History of Poetry" is often dedicated to Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, this creative tendency to record reality and show history with poetry did not begin with Du Fu, but Cao Cao showed outstanding performance in this respect. As a companion piece of Hao, this "Autumn Record" is about the cause and effect of Dong Zhuo's rebellion at the end of Han Dynasty. Reading it is like browsing a historical picture at the end of the Han Dynasty, showing the specific features of major historical events and complex social life at that time, and expressing the poet's sadness and sigh at the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the people's suffering from chaos.
The sentence "Only Emperor Han Ling is twenty-two, and he is dishonest" first shows the scene of Emperor Han Ling's death, the appointment of non-human, the eunuch in power and the control of state affairs. At that time, General Blade had the intention of regaining power and killing eunuchs. The first two sentences first explain the background at that time, and also point out that this is the source of unrest.
The irony of "bathing a monkey with a crown, knowing small but striving for strength" is beyond words. Cao Cao thinks that He Jin is a superficial person, just like a macaque in a hat, pretending to be a human being, but in the end it won't be a human being. He's careful machine and those who seek great things will only end up in ruin. Later, "Hesitance did not dare to break, because he was the king" showed that He Jin was hesitant to do things, which led to the young emperor being robbed and failing.
The four classics describing He Jin do not elaborate on how he planned miscalculation, hesitated and acted carelessly, but only describe his incompetence in four sentences, in which the strong emotional color not only expresses his understanding of the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty, but also makes this poem different from the objective narrative of history and has touching power.
Then, the sentence "Bai Hong suffered for a long time, and he suffered first" wrote an ominous scene from the sky, and the blade ended up being killed. It can be seen that the first eight sentences mainly review the history of the late Han Dynasty with He Jin as the main line. Cao Cao laughed at blades' lack of strategy and indecision. Although he wanted to get rid of eunuchs, he lost his country and hurt the people, resulting in the situation of being forced to surrender to the Han Dynasty. These eight sentences are not only a record of history, but also Cao Cao's own distinct view of history, reaching a historical theory.
"Thieves and ministers hold the national handle, kill the Lord and destroy Yujing" and then turn to Dong Zhuo for rebellion. "Swing the emperor's inheritance, ancestral temple was burned. In four sentences, the tragic scenes such as overthrowing the Han Dynasty, burning Luoyang, the emperor moving westward and the suffering of the people were all told. Readers have to admire the conciseness of the poet's pen and ink and his ability to use language. His boldness of vision and broad vision are even more obvious. These six sentences exposed the disaster that Dong Zhuo brought to the country and people.
"Looking at Belo, I am very sad." In the conclusion, Cao Cao condensed his complex feelings on the cross, expressing his sadness and sigh at the collapse of the Han Dynasty.
On the whole, Lu Luxing was originally a song sung by the ancients at the funeral. Cao Cao used this ancient tune to write current events, creating an atmosphere for ancient Yuefu to write new content. Shen Deqian in the Qing Dynasty said: "Writing current affairs through the ancient Yuefu began with Cao Gong." This is a very insightful point of view. The reason why Cao always bottled new wine is because Yuefu itself has the characteristics of "life", which is suitable for recording historical facts and expressing emotions. At the same time, the autumn deer star itself also has the meaning of mourning the death of princes and nobles. Cao Cao used it to lament the chaos of the country, the suffering of the king and the suffering of the people.
Cao Cao's poems were considered sad and generous by his predecessors. Ochi said: "Wei Wudi is like a veteran of Youyan, full of charm." (Taosun Ao's Poetry Review) The same is true of this poem. The style of this poem is simple and simple, and there is no detailed description. Instead, it can integrate the social changes of the past few years into these crosses in a highly summarized language, and its artistic value can already be seen.
There is also a poem written by Chen Mingzuo about Cao Cao: "There is no universal language, which is rooted in temperament, so it is sad and detached from itself. Fine style, Meng Dequan is a China sound, and the cockroach plants are much louder. " It also shows that the ups and downs of Cao Cao's poems are based on his profound sincerity and simple expression. This is the difference between China's poems and those of later generations. If we compare China's poems by voice, they are natural, but after Wei and Jin Dynasties, they are confused with people, so we don't need to strive for success. The natural and muddy style is not as good as China's poetry. In this comparison, we can see that Cao Cao's poems are rare and simple.
