Guide reading
Cao Cao (155—220) was born in Mengde, Peiguoqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). An outstanding politician, strategist, writer and poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty (Liu Xie) first joined the crusade against Dong Zhuo. In the first year of Jian 'an (196), he welcomed Xian Di to move the capital to Xuchang and served as general and prime minister. Politically, Cao Cao eliminated many separatist forces in the north, restored the unification of northern China, and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order. Culturally, under the impetus of Cao Cao and his son, Jian 'an literature represented by Cao Shi and his son (Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi) was formed, which was called "Jian 'an Style" in history and left a glorious stroke in the history of literature.
Cao Cao is not only an outstanding politician and strategist in the history of China, but also an outstanding writer. He is the author of military works such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Tzu's Brief Explanation and Sun Tzu's Art of War, as well as immortal poems such as Hao, Autumn Deer Journey, Short, Bitter Cold, Watching the Sea, and Though Returning to Life. Later generations compiled Cao Cao Ji.
Cao Cao's poems can get rid of the shackles of classicism, draw nutrition from folk literature, and have a generous and sad style, which is a portrayal of that turbulent era. He wrote two short songs, * * *, which is the first one, expressing the depression that time flies and the idea of recruiting talents to help make contributions. The whole poem is full of emotion and strong sadness, which is one of Cao Cao's representative works.

Friends should sing when they raise their glasses and drink.
Thinking about life. How many years can it be?
Like dew in the morning, it dries easily.
Those lost days have suffered too much.
I feel uncomfortable, I feel warm and generous,
Worrying about the world is unforgettable.
What method is used to alleviate the sadness in my heart?
Only holding high the wine of Du Kang.
A saint bachelor in a blue-collar dress,
I've been thinking about you for a long time.
Just because I often miss you,
I have been humming "Ji Zi" until today.
Flocks of deer chirp in the mountains,
Vilen ate mugwort leaves.
There is a distinguished guest in my family.
I'm going to play Thule blowing sheng to welcome them.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky,
You won't stop running for a minute;
It's like I'm worried about wanting talent in my heart.
Even at any time, it will not break.
Listen, the saint bachelor came to my door,
Thank you for coming all the way to express my condolences.
Reunited after a long separation, like a bosom friend, gulp it down.
Talking about old feelings is higher than mountains and deeper than the sea.
The moon is bright in the night sky, and rare stars shine.
I saw black magpies flying south in droves.
They fly around the branches,
I don't believe that there is no branch to rely on.
There are green hills, and there is no fear of firewood.
Not too deep to accept all the rivers.
I must treat the wise like Duke Zhou,
In order to get the whole world to join in, you are finished.
Make an appreciative comment
This poem is one of Cao Cao's representative works. In his poems, he expressed his great ambition of recruiting talents and making contributions. The poem is four words, profound in content, solemn and elegant, and full of emotion.
The whole poem is divided into four sections: every eight sentences and * * *. The first eight sentences are the first section, in which the poet expresses his feelings and sadness about the short life and wants to drown his sorrows by drinking. On the surface, it is personal emotion and sadness, as if indulging in doing nothing and eating, drinking and having fun in time. In fact, it is the broad mind of a politician who cherishes time and hopes to make achievements. Next, the next eight sentences in "Qingqing Suburb" are the second paragraph, which is more profound and touching. The poem Qing Jin is the original sentence in The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Zi Jin. The poet expressed his thirst for talents with this ancient poem. Next, I quoted four sentences from The Book of Songs Xiaoya Luming Literature to describe the banquet scene. The following eight sentences are the third section, which is the focus and care of the first two sections and sixteen sentences. In other words, the four sentences starting from "bright as the moon" are about sadness, emphasizing and taking care of the first section; The four sentences starting from "crossing the street" are about being polite to talents, and the second paragraph is about emphasizing and caring. This emphasis on reference makes the whole poem have a low, cadence and repeated chanting effect. Finally, the following eight sentences are the fourth section, which further deepens the thoughts and feelings of seeking talents. The four sentences of "moonlight" are not only accurate and vivid descriptions of the scenery, but also metaphorical. Finally, the four sentences in Duke of Zhou make the finishing point, hoping that the talents will come to yield and point out the main idea of the whole poem.
Short songs have strong expressive colors. In ancient poetry, the meaning of "drinking to relieve sorrow" was first advocated, and "sorrow" runs through the whole article. Through a series of novel and vivid metaphors and innovative allusions, the poet repeatedly expresses his feelings, combines imaginary writing with real writing, and turns the abstract feelings of thinking about and seeking for the virtuous into concrete and sensible images, which makes poetry have strong artistic appeal.
