Cao Zhi was a famous writer of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period and a representative of Jian 'an literature. His representative works include Luo Shen Fu, White Horse, Seven Wounded Poems, etc. Because of his literary attainments, later generations are called "Three Caos" with Cao Cao and Cao Pi.

A, Wen Ruo Chunhua, thinking like a spring.

From Wang Zhongyi, China: China by Cao Zhi. Thinking: Si Wen, inspiration. Articles are like spring flowers, and literary thoughts are like mountain springs. These two sentences praise Wang Shen, the "seven sons of Jian 'an", for his quick thinking, rich creation and exquisite poetry. Now it can be used to quote and praise other accomplished writers and poets in ancient and modern times.

Second, if you don't accept these shoes, Li can't be crowned.

From A Gentleman's Journey, it means don't bend over to lift your shoes when passing by Gua Tian. Don't raise your hand to tidy your hat when passing under the plum tree. Metaphor is to avoid arousing unwarranted suspicion.

Third, if you are in love, you will not lose money.

From Cao Zhi's "Wang Biao for a White Horse", it means: I love you, there is no time limit, no distance gap, and I love you deeply every day.

Fourth, there is no ultimate world, and life is like sunrise.

There is no end to heaven and earth. A person's life is like a rosy cloud in the morning. As soon as the sun comes out, it disappears. Generally speaking, it tells us that heaven and earth are eternal and life is short.

Fifth, the owl sings the yoke and the wolf is on the road.

See Wang Biao for Cao Zhi's White Horse. Owl: a fierce bird, which is a metaphor for a villain. Balanced rolling: balance, the crossbar in front of the axle; Roll, the bent wood that clamps the horse's neck under the crossbar. Qu: Road. The owl screamed in the car and the jackal ran wildly on the road.

Sixth, swallows play in firewood, and swans can swim?

Birds like birds are playing in the grass. How do they know the swan's great ambition?

Seven, although the vine is sweet, the stick will be folded; Although rhetoric is beautiful, it will be destroyed if used.

From Cao Zhi's "Jiao Zhi". Du cane: coarse cane. Although the thick sugarcane tastes sweet, it must be broken when used as a crutch; Sweet words sound comfortable, but if you follow them, you will fail. These words show that people should not only look at appearance, but also be practical, otherwise they will be cheated. This method of supplementing problems with metaphors is also worth learning.
