One of the guardians of the Demon Hero, the Demon Hero - Cao Zhi

Cao Zhi (192-232), whose name is Zijian, is often called "Chen Siwang" and "Chen Wang" in later writings because of his title of King Chen and his nickname "Si". A native of Peiguo County (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province), the fourth son of Cao Cao, the third son of Bian's descendants, a famous poet of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, and the etymology of words such as Cai Gao Badou (Eight Bucket Talent) and Seven Steps into Poems.

His poetry had a great influence on later generations, and his talent was highly regarded by later poets, and he was known as the "Three Caos" along with his father Cao Cao and brother Cao Pi, but unlike his father and brother, Cao Zhi did not hold important military and political positions in his life.

Cao Zhi is the third son born to Cao Cao's main chamber Bian, and the younger brother of Cao Pi and Cao Zhang. Cao Cao once read the article written by Cao Zhi and asked him in surprise: "Ru Qianren yes (you asked someone to write it for you)?" Cao Zhi replied: "Words are spoken, written down, willing to be interviewed, but Qianren!"

In the winter of the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Cao Cao built Tongquetai, and the 19-year-old Cao Zhi wrote "Tongquetai Fu", which Cao Cao greatly praised and named him the Marquis of Pingyuan, and encouraged: "I used to be the Dunqiu Order, and it was at the beginning of the twentieth year. Now that you have grown up, you can't be reluctant!" Thinking that he "can set big things", Cao Cao in his later years, Cao Zhijin was named the Marquis of Linzi, and competed with his eldest brother Cao Pi for the status of heir. Coupled with his high talent, he was jealous of Cao Pi.

Soon after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he repeatedly tried to kill Cao Zhi, but was prevented by his mother, and it is said that Empress Dowager Bian once said, "You have already killed my king of Rencheng (Cao Zhang), and if you want to kill King Chen Liu, I don't want to live." Cao Pi still used Cao Zhi as "drunk and slow, robbing the messenger". demoted him to the rank of Marquis of Anxiang.

After Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rong ascended the throne, he intended to re-summon his uncle to the court, and Cao Zhi even drafted a good political strategy, but some courtiers warned Emperor Wei Ming that Cao Zhi "has always had great ambitions, and once he has a long-cherished wish, he may be difficult to become a minister", so in the end of the Ming Emperor, Cao Zhi still had no ambition.

In February of the sixth year of Taihe (232), Cao Zhi was renamed King Chen. It was the third time in 11 years that the capital was forcibly moved. He died of depression in the same year at the age of forty-one.

There is the tomb of Cao Zhi at the western foot of Yushan, 20 kilometers south of Dong'e County, Shandong Province in present-day northern China.

Cao Zhi was the first to warn about the Sima family's autocracy. He was extremely frightened by the fall of Emperor Wei Ming's power, and the above table admonished: "Those who take Qi are the Tian clan, not Lu Zongye, and those who divide the Jin are Zhao and Wei. Non-Ji surname also. "Today, the anti-Gong clan is alienated from different surnames. The ministers are confused. However, Emperor Wei Ming was relying on Sima Yi to resist the challenge of the Shu Han Northern Expeditionary Army. I didn't take my uncle's advice to heart.

Cao Zhi's more than 100 works, most of which are five-character poems, have been included in the "Collection of Chen Siwang" by later generations, and his works reflect the achievements and characteristics of Jian'an literature in a more comprehensive way.

Regardless of ancient poems and music. Cao Zhi was very accomplished, and he expanded the scope of five-character poems to Cao Zhi's pen, and wrote everything. Jian'an poetry gradually became literati from Yuefu, and when it came to Cao Zhi's hands, it obviously had the appearance of literati poetry.

In the early stage, Cao Zhi's poems were full of high-spirited spirit and cheerful and heroic due to favorable circumstances. The work is more than gorgeous, but not enough flesh and blood.

In his later years, his ambitions were frustrated, he was repressed and persecuted, and his poetic style turned to bitter anger and generosity, showing resentment against the oppressors and a strong spirit for liberation.

Cao Zhi's work "Extremely High Backbone", he has been constantly pursuing the ideal of making contributions throughout his life, and is good at expressing generous and tragic feelings with full strength, but also magnificent and magnificent images.

Cao Zhi's poems are rich in words, good at chaining characters, and the descriptions are profound and delicate. In terms of technique, Cao Zhi pays attention to duality and tone, belongs to the Seiko, the duality gradually becomes more sophisticated, and makes good use of rich metaphors, is good at entrusting things to rise, pays attention to the momentum at the beginning, and is good at using aphorisms to drive the whole text.

(seen in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"), but this poem is not found in Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and was first seen in Liu Yiqing's "Shishuo Xinyu and Literature" in the Southern Dynasty.

"Shishuo Xinyu" records that Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi was jealous of Cao Zhi's talent and learning, and ordered Cao Zhi to make a poem within seven steps, otherwise he would be executed, and there were strict requirements for the poem: the theme of the poem must be brotherhood, but the whole poem must not contain the word brother, Cao Zhi chanted in less than seven steps: "Boiled beans are held as soup, and the soybeans are used as juice." The beans are burning under the kettle, and the beans are crying in the kettle. This is from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?" But whether this poem was written by Cao Zhi is still controversial to this day.

Xie Lingyun, a famous poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, said, "There is only one stone in the world, Cao Zijian (plant) alone occupies eight buckets, I have one bucket, and the world is divided into one bucket." It is the highest evaluation of Cao Zhi.
