Jian 'an era is an era of great chaos, massacre, great exchange and great integration within the Chinese nation. Being in this era, "San Cao" has been in extensive contact with social reality, witnessed the social war and the pain of people's lives, and created a large number of poems closely related to the times with the ambition of making contributions, showing their abilities and clarifying jade. These poems naturally contain great significance.
First, based on a large number of facts about social chaos, the author reflects the endless disasters brought to the people by the chaos of the times and the infighting among warlords. Cao Cao's "A Journey to the Great Miles" truly reflects that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other warlords are fighting for power and profit for their own rights, and they are fighting with each other under the guise of begging Dong Zhuo, exposing the fact that "bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no crows in a thousand miles" caused by melee. A trip to the morning dew found that Luoyang, Kyoto, was in ruins under the burning and looting of Dong Zhuo's bandits. In Cao Pi's Ge Yanxing, the author describes the women's yearning for their husbands who are fighting in other places on sleepless autumn nights, reflecting the infinite sadness that husband and wife can't get together. The author of "The Rejuvenation of Kindness" described the sufferings of sailors profoundly and sharply. In Cao Zhi's novels,
Secondly, the author expresses his ambition with the thought of worrying about the country and the ambition of "saving the world and saving the country", and actively pursues the ideal of making contributions and reunifying the motherland. Cao Cao's poem Duijiu expresses his political ideal with generous and heroic words, hoping to achieve a prosperous and peaceful life for all through the way of "Zhi Ming of kings". In "Short Song", he said that "the mountain never tires of it" to recruit wise men, * * * to unify the great cause and make "the world return to the heart". In particular, although the tortoise lives a long life, he wrote a famous sentence, "The old horse lies dormant for a thousand miles, and the martyrs are courageous in their twilight years", expressing his determination to "be strong in old age". Cao Zhi also has many works that reveal his ambition. Parents don't care, how can you talk about children and wives? A hero who is famous for his strength can't take care of himself. He died of national disaster, sudden death, worrying about the country and his family. It's really his own heroic confession. In The Story of Pomfret, the author even expressed his great ambition to show his skill for the great cause of "Far Huairou Kyushu", and compared people who are keen on personal fame and fortune to vulgar villains such as Pomfret and Swallow.
Thirdly, the author used his own personal experience and feelings to shape the beautiful scenery of mountains and seas, satirize the luxury and enjoyment of aristocratic children, expose social injustice, and express personal resentment and sadness. Cao Cao's "Looking at the Sea" describes the magnificent scene of climbing the mountain and looking at the sea in late autumn, and shows the author's grand spirit of swallowing the universe. This work became the first masterpiece with landscape as its content in ancient poetry. No wonder Liu Xie's Poems of Cao Shi and His Son contains such rich and profound ideological content.
"Three Cao" poems have distinct and unique artistic characteristics. First of all, the author shows strong realism. In their poetry creation, they inherited and carried forward the dark realistic tradition of Han Yuefu folk songs at that time, and "wrote current affairs through ancient Yuefu" with their own experiences and witnessed reality, which was full of realistic life breath. Therefore, they created many realistic works that exposed the evils of war, criticized the warlords' melee, and sympathized with the people's sufferings and feelings at that time. It is called "the history of poetry" by later generations. Secondly, in their own creative practice, they should learn the form of folk songs in the Han Dynasty and write a large number of Yuefu poems, which make their works have obvious flavor of Yuefu folk songs, such as more than 20 poems left by Cao Cao, all of which are Yuefu poems. Thirdly, in their creation, they not only make their feelings come from the chaotic reality, but also express their sadness and sadness about the tragic and chaotic reality, and also express their generosity. These formed the unique sad and generous artistic characteristics of "Three Caos", which was called "Jian 'an Style" by later generations. However, due to the different pursuits, circumstances and status of Cao Shi and his son, the characteristics of his poems are also different. Cao Cao was an outstanding politician and strategist at the end of Han Dynasty. His thoughts are vigorous, hearty and heroic, and he has a strong mind and verve, so his poems show boldness. But his political vision and boldness of vision are far less than Cao Cao's, and his thoughts are not enterprising. Most of his life was spent in the banquet of moving to the palace, so his poems showed the artistic style of "literary spirit" and "feminine beauty", graceful, low tears and sad. Cao Zhi was favored by Cao Cao in his early days, and he was optimistic, ambitious and confident. Later, it was hit and suppressed by Cao Pi and Cao Rui, and the thought was hard to work.
Hope to adopt. Thank you.
