Viewing the Canghai
Han Dynasty: Cao Cao
To the east is Jieshi to view the Canghai.
Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing tall.
There are many trees and lush grass.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
The journey of the sun and the moon, if it comes out of it.
The stars are as brilliant as if they came from within.
Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition.
Translation:
Go east and climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea.
The sea is so vast and vast, and the mountain islands stand high on the seashore.
It is very lush with trees and grasses.
The autumn wind blows the trees and makes a sad sound, and huge waves surge in the sea.
The movements of the sun and moon seem to emanate from this vast ocean.
The stars of the Milky Way are brilliant, as if they were produced from this vast ocean.
I am very happy and use this poem to express my inner ambition.

Creative background:
Wuhuan was a serious problem in the northeast at that time. In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206 years), Wuhuan captured Youzhou. , and captured more than 100,000 Han households. In the same year, Yuan Shao's sons Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi colluded with Tadun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border.
As a result, Cao Cao had to resolutely decide to go north for an expedition in the twelfth year of Jian'an (207). Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, Xiao used strategies. In a battle around August of this year, Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory.
This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear and laid the foundation for his move southward the following year in order to realize his ambition to unify China. And "Guan Cang Hai" was written when he passed through Jieshi Mountain after returning from the northern expedition to Wuhuan after victory.
Background events:
In order to eliminate the remaining forces of the Yuan family and consolidate the north, Cao Cao dug Pinglu and Quanzhou in the 11th year of Jian'an (206) to connect the Hutuo River and Baoqiu River. The two canals (today's north and south of Jin City) were used to transport military supplies.
In the summer of the following year, Cao Cao led his army out of Wujing (today's Jinji County) to attack Wuhuan in the east. The road was blocked by rain and waterlogging, Wuhuan's army guarded the main road, and Cao's army was blocked. Cao Cao adopted the suggestion of Tian Chou, a famous local scholar, to go out on remote roads to attack the enemy unprepared, so he returned to his army, falsely claiming that he would march in autumn and winter.
As a result, the Wuhuan army relaxed its vigilance. Cao Cao, with Tian Chou leading his troops as a guide, went up Xu Wushan (now east of Zunhua, Hebei), rode out of Lulongsai (now around Xifengkou, Hebei), and traveled hundreds of miles through the high mountains.
In August of the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), the two armies met at Bailang Mountain (southeast of today's Lingyuan). The Wuhuan army was large in number. At that time, Cao Cao's main force was still in the rear and had not yet reached the front line, and there was only a small number of troops around Cao Cao.
The officers and soldiers of Cao's army hope to wait for the follow-up troops and are afraid of the current dangerous situation. In the atmosphere where Cao Cao's army was "feared by both left and right", Zhang Liao opposed all opinions and opposed the heavy troops waiting in the rear, and tried his best to persuade Cao Cao to take advantage of the Hulu's unorganized formation.
Start the battle immediately and encourage them to fight vigorously and vigorously. Cao Cao admired Zhang Liao's heroic fighting spirit very much, and saw that Wuhuan's army had not yet formed a fighting formation, so Cao Cao adopted Zhang Liao's suggestion. Cao Cao personally granted the command he held to Zhang Liao for temporary use.
Ordered Zhang Liao to command the vanguard troops to go into battle. Therefore, Zhang Liao led his army to attack, defeated the Wuhuan army, and killed Tadun, the Wuhuan Chanyu, who was famous for his "valor" on the battlefield. Many people, including Tadun and Mingwang, died in front of the battle. More than 200,000 people from the Hu and Han Dynasties surrendered.
