Heel, seal (tree) (艮, "heel", sole of the foot), heel, metaphor for the part of the tree that grows underground and makes it "stand firmly".

【The Story of the Word】
Seven-step poem
Wei Cao Zhi
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?
Translation: Boil the beans to make the bean soup, and the filtered beans make a juice. Bean stalks burn under the pot, and beans cry in the pot. Bean stalks and beans are originally grown from the same root, why should they be forced so hard to torture each other?
Interpretation: In the first month of the first year of the Huang Dynasty (220), Cao Cao died of illness at the age of sixty-six, and Cao Pi was promoted to the king of Wei by shizi; in October of the same year, Emperor Xian of Han was forced to give up the throne, and Cao Pi ascended the throne, calling the emperor Emperor Wen of Wei. Because of the experience of fighting for the title of crown prince, Cao Pi could not let go, and after he became emperor, he still had a grudge against Cao Zhi. Fearing that his learned and politically ambitious younger brother would threaten his throne, he thought of a way to get rid of him. Cao Zhi knew that his brother was intent on framing himself, but he could not excuse himself, so he had to respond to the poem within seven steps in extreme grief and anger.
This poem uses the same root and bean to compare the brothers who share the same father and mother, and the fried beans to compare the brother Cao Pi who mutilated his brother, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with Cao Pi, vividly and vividly reflecting the cruel struggle within the feudal ruling group and the poet's own difficult situation, deep and indignant thoughts and feelings.
