The Southern Dynasty Song dynasty scholar Xie Lingyun regarded himself very highly, and the person he admired most in his life was Cao Zhi Cao Zijian, who said that the talents of the world had a total of one stone (dan yin), (one stone is ten buckets), of which Cao Zijian had eight buckets, I Xie Lingyun occupied one bucket, and the remaining bucket was divided per capita in the world.
I'll take it, it's a jaw-dropping division.
Cao Zhi wrote "LuoshenFu", it is estimated that there are not many people familiar with it, and there are very few people who have studied it, but his seven-step poem is well known to women and children, the poem is: boiling beans and burning beans, beans crying in the kettle. Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other? But what is puzzling is that this poem is neither found in Cao Zijian's poetry collection, nor is it different from the record of Liu Yiqing's "The New Language of the World". The seven-step poem in the "New Language of the World" is six sentences: "Boiled beans are held as soup, and soy sauce is thought to be juice." The beans burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle. Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other? ”
The version passed down by the world has only four sentences, the first sentence is different, boiling beans and burning beans, and two or three sentences are missing. This makes it questionable whether the poem was written by Cao Zhi.
Thanks to the popularity of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the common people are familiar with this story. It is said that after Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to give way, he also killed his own brothers, and Cao Zhiwen flew high, not only seven steps into poetry, completed the harsh conditions, but also borrowed poetry to ironize. Later, the two brothers' mother-in-law, Empress Bian, also came out to play a crying scene, so Cao Zhi took advantage of this to save his life, was relegated to juanyin city in Shandong, and later changed the fiefdom several times, three years later Emperor Wen of Wei died, the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui did not reactivate his uncle Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi died of depression when his eldest nephew was in power for six years, and after his death, he was given the title of King Of ChenSi, and was finally buried in Dong'a County, Liaocheng, Shandong.
The story of these seven steps into poetry is really passed down from generation to generation, Cao Zhi's literary agility is so agile, and it is such a bleak ending, so for more than a thousand years, people's sympathy has been concentrated on Cao Zijian, who has never met Huai Cai, and Cao Pi Cao Ziheng is a water of disgust. In fact, the Wei Emperor Cao Pi occupies a pioneering position in the history of literary criticism and the development of the literati's Seven Words and Poetry.
It was still the literary and art critic Liu Xun who said a fair sentence, "Emperor Wen honored and reduced talent by his position, and Zi Jian was embarrassed by the price." In a sense, it was Emperor Wen's practice in people's hearts that made Cao Zhi famous in the literary world. Therefore, Xie Lingyun admired Cao Zhi's five bodies, and even Chi Zijian, a beautiful writer born in Mohe, Heilongjiang, paid tribute to Cao Zhi in his own name.
Guo Moruo, after carefully studying the poetry of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, believes that Cao Pi's contribution to Jian'an literature is no less than that of Cao Zhi. He even made a "Seven-Step Poem", which reads: "Boiled beans burn beans, beans are ripe and ashed." The cooks sit on the table, and the ash is made into tanaka fat. If you are not born for the same root, why are you willing to self-destruct? "This is actually lyrical from the standpoint of the thorn.
