Three Kingdoms Chaos Cai Wenji's "Poem of Sorrow and Indignation"

Cai Wenji's "Poem of Sorrow and Indignation" is relatively long, saying that the Three Kingdoms are in turmoil, and we intercept the following sentences, which can fully see the darkness and despair of the world at that time.

"Cut off without a single body, the corpses resist each other." The horse hangs the man's head on the side, and the horse carries the woman behind. ”

"Or there are flesh and bones, and they dare not speak." Frustration is a few slight, and the words are inferior. To be a pavilion blade, I Cao will not live. How dare you risk your life, and you can't bear his scolding. Or add a cane to the stool, and the poisonous pain ginseng is combined. Dan wept, and the night sat in sorrow. If you want to die, you can't get it, and you can't live if you want to live. ”

"The city is mountainous, and TingYu is born of Jing'ai. White bones do not know who, vertical and horizontal can not be covered. There was no sound outside, and the jackals barked and barked. Cocoon to the lonely scene, the liver and lungs. ”

An innocent man was beheaded by the rebels, and his head hung on a war horse. Poor women, plundered by the rebels, tied to the back of a carriage ... These painful descriptions not only express Cai Wenji's feelings of worrying about the country and the people, but also illustrate the chaos of society and the hardships of the people.

Later scholars in addition to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a statistic, in 156 AD, the population was about 50 million, but by 280 AD, the population was only about 16 million.

What a miserable scene, what a tragic time!
