Boiled beans burn beans, wet sauce for juice. The beans burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle. Born from the same root, He Tai anxious---- Cao Zhi's "Seven-Step Poem"
Cao Zhi's "Seven-Step Poem" has always been praised by people, one is that Cao Zhi used his talent and wisdom to persuade his imperial brother to put down the butcher's knife, become a Buddha on the ground, and let himself have a way of life; second, it originated from the clever metaphor in the poem, borrowing beans to metaphors people, and vaguely exposing the violence and helplessness of brothers. The third is that this poem is a work that suits the scene, and it is completed in seven steps at the time of great trouble. Let people sigh: the genius teenager known for his wisdom is not a waste of time.
In the poem, boiled beans and burned beans are believed by most people to refer to Cao Zhi himself and Cao Pi. In fact, this understanding is somewhat narrow. If Cao Pi had thought the same at that time, then Cao Zhi must have died on the spot: it would be a great disrespect to accuse the monarch of scolding the locust and borrowing boiled beans to rebuke the monarch. For Cao Pi, who had committed Cao Zhi to his death, it was tantamount to obtaining evidence of guilt. Some people say that killing Cao Zhi in that way is a bit far-fetched, but for the feudal emperor who "wants to add to the sin and has no excuse", "the king told the subjects to die and the subjects had to die", there is nothing far-fetched to say.
What really made Cao Pi put down the butcher's knife was definitely not brotherhood, nor was it the "family affection" between the beans and the beans. It is the selfishness and greed of human nature reflected in the boiled beans. Ben is born from the same root, and it is too urgent to fry! The beans in the kettle are complaining about the beans, so is boiling the beans the original intention of the beans? In fact, it is not, after all, while the beans are cooked, the beans will also be reduced to ashes. Originally the same end, what kind of pleasure does The beanweed have? In fact, Dou Bao also has the helplessness of Dou Bao, and he is only the tools and materials for boiling Bean People. Dou Xuan spent his whole life to deliver nutrients to raise beans honestly and fullly, but in the end he wanted to use his dying body to cut off the life of the beans, which is tantamount to "hand blade parenting". Maybe this is the helplessness of the bean. Behind the boiled beans, the most denounceable, the most hateful is the boiling bean people!
Cao Pi's throne did not come so naturally. First there was Cao Chong in front, who was brilliant since childhood, deeply loved by Cao Cao, and was the first choice to inherit Cao Cao's throne as king of Wei, but unfortunately died young. Cao Cao said to Cao Pi: The death of Chong, the misfortune of mine, the great luck of yours. It can be seen that Cao Cao never looked up to Cao Pi. Later, there was a Cao Zhi, who was also a teenager with wisdom and quite a style of Cao Chong. Cao Cao loved it very much. Later, regarding the matter of the heir apparent, a dispute between the Pi Party and the Zhi Party was formed. Later, because of Yang Xiu's death, coupled with Cao Zhi's gradual "loose nature and excessive drinking", Cao Cao was gradually displeased. The balance gradually shifted to the side of Cao Pi. Since ancient times, the royal family has no father and son, and Cao Pi, who was born in the family of the emperor and the general, is also well aware of the helplessness of "eryu me cheating, becoming a king and losing a Kou".
Cao Zhi's "Seven-Step Poem" rekindles Cao Pi's thinking about human nature and life. When he raised the butcher's knife over his brother, who seemed to pose a threat to his throne, someone had already quietly pointed his sword blade at him behind his back! This is the helplessness of life, like the "Oedipus King" who can never get out of bad luck.
Since life is like this, the world is impermanent, it is better to let the brothers have a way to live, and at the same time cook beans and burn beans, and wet soy sauce as juice. The beans burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle. Born from the same root, He Tai anxious---- Cao Zhi's "Seven-Step Poem"

Since life is like this, and the world is impermanent, it is better to let the brothers have a way to live, and at the same time let themselves have a way to live. The "boiling bean people" who should be killed the most are often hidden in the invisible, but they exist in the underworld, you and I do not know, but may be in a certain corner of the heart. This is human nature, good and evil, contradictions in the union. Half angels, half devils.
