Who is the author of the seven-step poem that has been passed down through the ages?

Speaking of this poem "Seven Steps Poetry" left by Cao Zhi, everyone knows its famous reputation. Premier Zhou also used it in the Southern Anhui Incident, saying, "A leaf in the south of the Yangtze River is a strange injustice. In the same room, what's the hurry? " Why are you in such a hurry? From the seven-step poem.

But this poem may be, oh, no, almost certainly not written by Cao Zhi.

Let's look at the origin of this poem first. First of all, bean poems are not in Cao Zhi's personal portfolio. As a literary youth, publishing books at one's own expense is the only way, and Cao Zhi is no exception. He published two books in his life, one of which was edited by Cao Zhi himself. In Before Recording Autobiography, he said that he was very talented when he was a teenager and wrote many poems. Now he has cut some and finalized it. One was compiled by Wei Mingdi for Cao Zhi, saying that there were more than one hundred books. There is no description of "bean poem" in both of them.

Where did the bean poem come from?

There are several versions of Seven-step Poems on the market, all of which are from Shi Shuo Xin Yu. This is a collection of wonderful life since the Han and Jin dynasties, which is equivalent to the ancient version of Story Club. The above article, now, is equivalent to the spread of "the chairman kissed my grandfather" on the Internet. Judging from the authenticity, the historical value of Shi Shuo Xin Yu is far less than the official history. Mr. Lu Xun regards the novels Shi Shuo Xin Yu and You Ming Lu as the same stream.

Let's take a closer look. Shi Shuo Xin Yu described the "bean poem" and said that Cao Pi was difficult to go to East Asia, so he had the "seven-step poem". But in fact, Cao Zhi was made the King of Dong 'e only after the death of Cao Pi, so there is no need for the dead to open coffin boards to ask questions to the living.

After talking about the origin of poetry, let's talk about the relationship between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi. The creation scene of the seven-step poem is that two brothers meet after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne. However, according to historical records such as the History of the Three Kingdoms, the two met many times at this time. On one occasion, Cao Zhi drank fake wine and said some nonsense. After waking up, I felt that something was wrong, so I went to Cao Pi to confess and apologize. Xelloss's punishment for Cao Zhi is "cutting the rank and avoiding being Shu Ren". Ruling the country according to law, since Cao Pi is in the upper position, there is no need to play tricks at all, and public punishment is enough for Cao Zhi. And Cao Zhi's talent is recognized. The method of writing seven-step poems is stupid, isn't it bring disgrace to oneself?

What's more, the relationship between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi is not as bad as imagined. After Cao Pi reached the summit, Cao Zhi was extremely clever and gave Cao Cao many treasures for Cao Pi. Xelloss is also quite knowledgeable. When Sun Quan came back from the crusade, he passed by Cao Zhi's fief and also rewarded Cao Zhi with money. The two brothers are laughing and laughing, and the atmosphere looks quite harmonious.

The problem now is that this bean poem has never jumped out by itself. Why is it becoming more and more famous? It is related to two anti-Cao storms in history.

Many people who know the history of the Three Kingdoms may find out after contacting historical materials, I will go! In fact, Cao Cao is not sinister, which is related to the anti-Cao storm, and so is Dou Shi.

The first anti-Cao peak was in the Liu and Song Dynasties, that is, the Southern Dynasties. There was a man named Xi, who wrote a book "The Spring and Autumn Period of Han, Jin and Qing Dynasties", and proposed for the first time that Cao Cao was a "usurper". He listed Shu as orthodox and Wei as an anti-thief. Liu Song claimed to be a descendant of Hanwang, and Cao Cao seized the power of the Han Dynasty, which was equivalent to hitting his ancestors, so he was naturally unhappy. The author of Shi Shuo Xin Yu is Liu Song Wudi's nephew Liu Yiqing. He wrote a book, and he will certainly not have anything nice to say about Cao Cao and his son. In Seven Steps Poetry, besides describing the contradiction between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, Cao Cao and Cao Pi also wrote about their struggle for Zhen Ji, but these are not accurate.

In the Song Dynasty, Cao Cao's anti-thief image became clearer. The government took the lead in belittling Cao Shi. Later, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong wrote a seven-step poem and put it back to the seventy-ninth time. Due to the influence of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's image and seven-step poems are more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts, so the fake becomes true.

Looking back, the creation and spread of the seven-step poem is actually a political need, true or false, and what people want may be just an attitude. They think that the emperor is fighting for power and profit, and it is such a touching poem that it is enough to echo it. But facts are facts, fake or fake. ?
