Cao Cao invented an idiom to express death beautifully. Which idiom is it referring to?

“The moon waxes and wanes, and people are born, old, sick, and die.” These are natural laws that none of us can escape. But Chinese people are very taboo about the word "death". When it comes to death, they usually say "a hundred years later." The idiom "a hundred years later" comes from Cao Cao's "Military Order". "A hundred years later" means after a person's death.

For people, death is a sad thing and makes people feel naked. But Cao Cao used "a hundred years later" to describe death, which made it profound and beautiful, and his fear of death seemed to be reduced. Cao Cao was a military strategist, a politician, and a well-known writer. He was very good at articulating words.
