"Moon Dan Review" is a famous cultural column during the Three Kingdoms period, similar to today's forums or interviews with people.
The founders of the "Yuedan Commentary" were the critics Xu Shao and Xu Jing, and the cousins were The Ru Nan Ping People, "Ru Ying Duoqishi." At the time of the Han and Wei Dynasties, the Ruying culture developed rapidly, and the Ruying area was the cultural center.
At that time, Xu Shao XuJing was very famous, they liked to comment on local people and things, or poetry and painting, every month to update the topic, gradually, the Runan region formed the custom of "Yuedan Review", no matter who it was, once on this column, it was doubly valuable, and history called it "the first comment in the world".
Historical records: Tai Shi Ci returned from Liaodong and crossed the river to Qu'a to see his hometown of Yangzhou to assassinate Liu Sui. At this time, it happened that Sun Ce called over. Someone advised Liu Sui: "Tai Shi Ci is very powerful, so it is better to send Tai Shi Ci as a great general." Liu Xuan said, "Tai Shi Ci is too young, Xu Shao will make fun of me." It can be seen from this that people at that time cared about and attached importance to the evaluation of The Monthly Dan.
Many people have been commented on through this column, famous bamboo drapery, meritorious green history. Xu Shao was very level for commenting, Xu Shao once said to Liu Shao: "Yuan Highway and his people are jackals, and they can't stay for a long time!" At that time, he advised Liu Xuan not to defect to Yuan Shu. It turned out that Xu Shao was very accurate, and Yuan Shu was ultimately defeated by Cao Cao.
After Xu Shao saw Liu Ye, he commented that Liu Ye "has the talent of the world". Later, Liu Ye became a major vassal of the Three Dynasties of Cao Wei.
Xu Shao commented on Xun Jing and Xun Shuang: "These two are like jade, Xun Jing is outer lang, Xun Shuang is in the inner run. ”
The influence of the Monthly Dan Review is very large, so it has received a lot of attention. Among them was Cao Cao.
In his youth, Cao Cao had the ambition of a great bird, and before he became famous, he often went to see Xu Shao with rich gifts, modestly and respectfully, and asked: "How am I like a person?" Hope to get Xu Shao's evaluation.
Historical records say that "if you are ugly and ugly, you have no virtue." Cunning and cunning, good chaos. It can be seen that Cao Cao's reputation is not good, and there are many negative news. After Cao Cao became a eunuch, in the general environment at that time, the scholar and the eunuch were the opposite, and Cao Cao's identity did not conform to the aesthetic standards of the scholar. The more this happened, the more anxious Cao Cao became to wash his whites.
Although the Yuedan appraisal is a local review, it is so famous that it also undertakes the function of recommending talents. Cao Cao was proficient in the art of power, and he also had the dream of Kuang Fu Han Room, and he hoped to get the recommendation of the famous scholar Xu Shao, so as to step into the circle of positive energy.
Xu Shao didn't like Cao Cao very much, and he really didn't want to judge him. Cao Cao found an opportunity to threaten Xu Shao, and if he did not comment, he would be killed, and Xu Shao was forced to be helpless, saying to Cao Cao: "The son can rule the world, and the adulterous male of the chaotic world." "Meaning: You are a capable vassal of the world of peace, a traitor in the world of turmoil.
Xu Shao's comment is very clever, full of the art of language, neither against himself, nor to offend Cao Cao, as for whether he is a capable minister or a traitor, let Cao Cao choose it himself.
For Cao Cao, the words of the powerful minister who ruled the world were enough, but what did it matter to the adulterous male of the chaotic world? If the world is in turmoil, why be afraid of the name of the adulterous male? As long as you can complete yourself, why not be a good time? Cao Cao said he was very happy. Therefore, this sentence has become the most appropriate summary of Cao Cao by posterity.
Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian treated Xu Shao with courtesy, and Xu Shao said: Tao Gongzu is not a righteous gentleman. Inconsistencies in appearance, he was kind to me for the time being, and he would become false and mean in the future. I might as well leave him early. So he went to Qu'a County to join Liu Sui in Yangzhou. Xu Shao was right, and later, Tao Qian arrested all the scholars and doctors who lived in Xuzhou.
"Yuedan Review" is actually a superb skill column, which requires a super brain, sober cognition, and appropriate speech, and will benefit each other by getting the approval of the other party, and once the mistake will be ruined, after all, what needs to be commented on is a big figure like Cao Cao.
