A four-character poem "Viewing the Sea" by Cao Cao, a poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The whole poem is as follows:
On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea.
The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea.
Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging.
The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.
Journey to the sun and the moon, if you go out.
Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
The translation is as follows:
Climb Jieshi Mountain to the east and enjoy the wonders of the sea. The waves are stirring, and the islands in the sea are listed and towering into the sky. Surrounded by lush trees and flowers, the bleak wind came, the vegetation shook, and the sea set off huge waves, rolling and whistling, as if to engulf the universe.
The ups and downs of the sun and the moon seem to come from the chest of the sea; The bright stars in the Milky Way also seem to emerge from the embrace of the sea. Ah, it's okay. It's wonderful. Let's sing and express our feelings freely.

Creation background
Wuhuan was a great disaster in Northeast China at that time. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (2006), Wu Huan invaded Youzhou and captured more than 100,000 Han people. In the same year, Yuan Shang and Yuan, the sons of Yuan Shao, colluded with Ta Dun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border, so that Cao Cao had to resolutely decide to conquer Wuhuan in the 12th year of Jian 'an (207). Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, he used tricks.
Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory in the great war in August this year. This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear areas and laid the foundation for the next year's conquest of the south, with a view to realizing the grand aspiration of reunifying China. "Looking at the Sea" is about the time when Wu Huan, who won the Northern Expedition, crossed Jieshi Mountain and returned to Li.
works appreciation
This poem was written by Cao Cao when he climbed Jieshi Mountain on his way to the victory class in Wuhuan. The poet used the magnificent scenery of the sea to express his ambition and broad mind. Judging from the genre of poetry, this is an ancient poem; From the way of expression, this is a four-character landscape poem.
The words "Jieshi is in the east, looking at the sea" point out the positioning of "looking at the sea": the poet climbed to the top of Jieshi, with a broad vision and a panoramic view of the sea. The following ten descriptions are almost all derived from this. The word "Guan" plays a leading role in the whole article, which embodies the characteristics of this poem's open artistic conception and vigorous momentum.
"The trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; If the stars are bright, if they come out from the inside, it is empty writing. The author wrote his lofty feelings with imagination. The previous description highlights the momentum and strength of the sea in front of readers; It shows the author's broad mind, open mind and grand ambition in rich associations, which implies a mind that the sea holds everything and holds the world in its own hands.
The tone of the whole poem is desolate and generous, and it is also a masterpiece of Jian 'an's character. The whole poem is concise in language, rich in imagination, magnificent, desolate and tragic.
