The first is Cao Cao. Anyone who has read Cao Cao's poems knows that Cao Cao's poems always reveal a calm atmosphere. Whether it is a trip to the sun and the moon, if it is out of it. Xinghan is brilliant, if you take it by surprise. "or" sing a song about wine, the geometry of life. "Every time I read these familiar sentences, I have to marvel at their heroism.
The whole world says that Cao Mengde is hypocritical and cunning, but even if a person can use Wei Zhuang to cover up his motives, he can't cover up his life style. Cao Cao was born and worked hard for a great political cause, but he became a great poet with no effort. His poems convey the powerful life in troubled times and have a heart in a vast space and time. In other words, Cao Cao has both full literary consciousness and high literary talent.
Followed by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. The relationship between the two brothers is awkward. There is a well-known legend that Cao Zhi was forced to write a seven-step poem, which was not good for Cao Pi. This legend, whose authenticity is not elegant, made Cao Pi leave a "cruel" impression on future generations.
Originally, Cao Pi's poems were worth reading. For example, his two poems Ge Yanxing are also of great literary value. Unfortunately, he has a father and a brother in the world. Such a comparison will knock him down. However, Cao Zhi's frustration in officialdom inspired him to become a sad poet. In the early stage of his poems, his son's heroic and elegant appearance was revealed, and in the later stage, he had an illusion of pure beauty because of his own experience. For example, his "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" is extremely high in character and adopts Hua Mao's words. It is very ornamental in literature.
For the literary achievements of the three men, Mr. Yu ranks them like this: First of all, it is indisputable that Cao Pi ranks third, because his father and brother are so excellent. As for the ranking of first and second, Yu Xiansheng's answer may be different from that of multi-genre literary historians. He will put Cao Zhi first, but Yu Xiansheng thinks that Cao Cao should be put first.
He thinks that Cao Zhi built a beautiful spiritual garden, while Cao Cao was cast of copper and iron on the reef. He thinks that Cao Cao's perception of life is higher than Cao Zhi's. Cao Zhi, a kind of sadness without strength runs through his life, and even causes doubts in his life. Destiny is suspicious, time is suspicious, everything is suspicious. Cao Cao regards life as "morning dew", making his limited life vigorous, but not enjoying vanity in the splendor. From here on, he is a strong man in life. The understanding of life is also higher than that of Cao Zhi.
Yu Xiansheng ranked Cao Cao, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi. Do you have any objections? In your mind, who do you think is the first?
