Cao Pi "Classic Theory" Cao Pi is the one with the highest literary achievement among the three Cao Cao. "Classical Essays" states that poetry should not simply pursue gorgeous rhetoric, but should focus on Qi. Cao Pi's articles are particularly easy to read. For example, his poem "Yan Ge Xing" can be collected on Baidu. Many of us dislike Cao Cao and Cao Pi due to the influence of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In fact, Cao Zhi just failed in the political struggle. There is no right or wrong at all.
