During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's three fathers and sons were all very famous poets, especially Cao Zhi's poems were very famous, writing famous poems such as "LuoshenFu" and "White Horse". So did this object, who had been suppressed by his brother Cao Pi, spend the rest of his life well?
In 220 AD, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and Cao Zhi wrote "Shangqing Wendi Receiving Zen Table" and other praises for Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi certainly could not forget the matter of Cao Pi's competition with Cao Pi for the position of crown prince, and keeping Cao Zhi was a threat to his throne. It was only Cao Pi's mother, Bian Shi, who obstructed it, and had no choice but to degrade Cao Zhi again and again, and the brother who drank and wrote poetry all day became the object of suppression all day, which made Cao Zhi very depressed.
In 222 AD, Cao Zhi was sealed in Juancheng. When passing through Luoshui, he had the feeling to write "Roselle Endowment", which fictionalized the love story of a beautiful woman and his pursuit of her, and expressed his feelings of pursuing the disillusionment of his ideals. However, there are also folklore, this "Roselle Endowment" was written by him for Zhen Mi, expressing his admiration for Zhen Mi.
After Cao Pi's death, Cao Zhi repeatedly wrote to Cao Rui to ask for his reuse, although Cao Rui superficially agreed to it, but in fact he still strictly guarded against Cao Zhi. In 232, Cao Zhi was given the title of King of Chen. Cao Zhi, who was not reused by the imperial court, was even more melancholy and angry, and died in November of the same year.
