What is the second version of the seven-step poem? Why?

Because the earliest version of the Seven-Step Poetry belongs to the draft version, it was later adapted for neat writing, so there are two versions. The earliest version of the seven-step poem is that Cao Zhi cooks beans and holds them as soup and simmers them as juice. Honey burns under the pot, and beans cry in the pot. This is the same root, and we are too eager to fry each other. The second version is to cook beans and burn beans, and the beans cry in the pot. We are born from the same root, so why should we speculate with each other?

Whether the earliest version or the second version, the meaning is the same. Translated, boiled beans are used to make bean soup, and filtered beans are used to make juice. The beanstalk burns under the pot, and the beans cry in the pot. Beanstalk and beans are originally born from the same root. Why do they have to be tortured and persecuted?

The creative background of the seven-step poem.

The creation background of the seven-step poem is Cao Zhi's thinking step by step, which is how he completed the writing of the seven-step poem. But later people didn't read so many words in the arrangement, that is, two sentences were missing. So the first edition is the first draft of Cao Zhi. Although Cao Zhi wrote two versions, each version has its own characteristics, which are all masterpieces through the ages. It means very close, because this poem saved Cao Zhi's life.
