Boiled beans are held as a soup, and wet as juice. The beans burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle. Born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry? This poem is estimated that everyone should be able to recite, once more is our primary and secondary schools are learning a poem, this poem is called the seven-step poem, it is estimated that everyone is still relatively familiar, the author is the famous poet Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi also once wrote the Luoshenfu that has been passed down through the ages, is a famous literary scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Caizi, he and his father are called Jian'an wind bones.
Cao Zhi's father is estimated to be very well understood, this person is Cao Cao, Cao Cao as a generation of tyrants, but also a famous literary artist, as Cao Cao's son absolutely can not be a common man, but why cao Zhi wrote this poem, why is it called the Seven Steps Poem? The reason for all this is related to Cao Zhi's brother Cao Pi, who, after Cao Cao's death, inherited Cao Cao's throne as king of Wei, and later became emperor and established the state of Wei among the three kingdoms, as Emperor Wen of Wei.
At that time, after Cao Pi inherited the throne of The King of Wei, he called his brother Cao Zhi over, in order to say that Cao Zhi was detached in literary style, could write poems within seven steps, let Cao Zhi compose poems on the spot, if Cao Zhi did not write poems after seven steps, then Cao Pi would kill Cao Zhi, to put it bluntly, Cao Pi was to find an excuse to kill Cao Zhi, and after seven steps Cao Zhi composed a poem, became this seven-step poem, and successfully let himself escape.
The reason why Cao Pi will target Cao Zhi is because cao zhi, when Cao Cao was alive, competed with Cao Pi for the position of heir, to put it bluntly, Cao Zhi was once restless, and also wanted to become the king of Wei, become Cao Cao's heir, is Cao Pi's opponent, and even several times almost let Cao Pi die, so cao Pi will definitely retaliate against Cao Zhi after he is on the throne, of course, Cao Pi is more jealous of Cao Zhi.
If it wasn't for Cao Pi to get drunk on Cao Zhi and let Cao Zhi drive on The White Horse Road, Cao Zhi would not have lost his position as heir, so Cao Pi was also worried that Cao Zhi would move himself down and then ascend to the throne, so he had this seven-step poem, if not Cao Zhi was really talented, and the last two sentences of this poem, originally the same root and fried He Tai anxious, moved out of the family affection, it is estimated that Cao Zhi has long become a ghost under the knife, and has no life.
