There is a famous family in the history of China. Father Cao Cao is not only a strategist and poet, but also his two sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are very accomplished in literature. Father and son are also called "Three Caos", among which Cao Zhi's literary achievements are the highest.
Cao Pi is a literary critic, and his Dian Lun Wen is an epoch-making work in the history of China's literary criticism. Cao Zhi, the second son of Cao Cao, was outstanding in talent, especially in literature, and was the most outstanding poet of that era.
After his elder brother Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he was very jealous of his younger brother Cao Zhi's talent. Once, because of a trivial matter, Cao Pi planned to punish Cao Zhi unless he could write a complete and rhythmic seven-step poem. Cao Zhiming knew that his brother was deliberately embarrassing himself, but xelloss is now the emperor, and he can only do what he wants. Cao Zhi felt extremely sad and indignant at the thought that the persecutor was his own brother. For a moment, he recited four poems: "Boil beans and burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. The two are born from the same root, so there is no need to rush to speculate with each other. " Emperor xelloss felt ashamed when he heard this poem, so he stopped hurting his brother.
Cao Zhi's greatest achievement lies in his poetry creation. During the Three Kingdoms period, wars continued and society was depressed. As a nobleman's son, Cao Zhi expressed his deep concern and sympathy for refugees with his poems, and the tragic scene in troubled times also inspired his enthusiasm for serving the country. In a poem, he wrote the famous sentence "I died in a national disaster, and I suddenly felt that I was going to die."
Although Cao Zhi had high attainments in literature, he always wanted to make a difference in politics, which led to the emperor's suspicion and persecution, so Cao Zhi's life was full of twists and turns. In his works, he expresses the anguish that this ideal can't be realized, but he can't write it directly, so an interesting phenomenon appears, that is, Cao Zhi describes a large number of beautiful women in his poems, such as "beauty" and "beauty in the south", in which women are not only beautiful and talented, but also noble and ideal. The author pinned his feelings on this. One of the most famous works is Ode to Luoshen. Luoshui is a river near Luoyang, the capital of Wei State. Taking Fu Fei, the God of Luoshui, as the theme, Cao Zhi created a beautiful and affectionate woman, expressing her love for God and her disappointment that God could not communicate with human beings. Although he is a virtual hero, the author has described the graceful posture of Luo Shen with superb skills and exquisite vividness, which has been praised for thousands of years.
Cao Zhi is a brilliant poet. Although he only lived for 4 1 year, he had a great influence on later literature. Now, as an idiom, "seven steps into poetry" is also used to describe a person's high literary talent.
Being able to write a poem in seven steps ―― sharp intelligence.
