A historical essay on Cao Cao's 8-word title-Cao Cao, a hero in troubled times
Cao Cao's objective evaluation-All rivers run into the sea, and tolerance is the greatest. Cao Cao is a figure who has to be said when talking about the Three Kingdoms. In the eyes of everyone, nine times out of ten people will think that he is a traitor, cunning and treacherous, and seeks to usurp the throne, and the most heinous thing is his famous saying: "I would rather lose the world than the world!" “。 In fact, this is basically the folk image and literary image of Cao Cao. When Luo Guanzhong wrote The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he praised Liu and belittled Cao Cao, exaggerating the characters of Liu Bei and his generals. As a negative foil, Cao Cao naturally became a cunning man. Folk art performances are basically based on Romance, so these characters are deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people with the image of Romance. In addition to understanding the above two kinds of characters, in fact, we should also understand another historical image, that is, the historical image. That sentence was said by Cao Cao after he killed the Lv Boshe family. First of all, killing is indeed killing, but it is manslaughter, which is recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so it should be a historical fact. Secondly, in the two versions, Cao Cao said this sentence in a different tone. What is described in Romance is justness, killing is killing, which is hopeless rape; But in the reflection, Cao Cao said with a sigh, what is done is irreversible, and he can only comfort himself, because he is a general, and he needs to serve the public, so he must find a reasonable reason for himself, not to mention considering the current situation ... At the same time, it also shows Cao Cao's frankness, he is a real villain, and imagine how many hypocrites there are in the world ... The above explanation can't completely cover up Cao Cao's treacherous side. But objectively speaking, Cao Cao is not just a traitor, but a unified contradiction. Cao Cao has a treacherous and fierce side, killing Xu You and cutting the side ... can be seen; But he is sincere and open-minded. It is also very telling to release Wei Zhong and Chen Lin. Cao Cao is sometimes cruel, and sometimes he is affectionate. His last will fully demonstrated this point. He has done a lot of good and bad things in his life, and many careers that have influenced the current situation and even history, but they have all been brushed aside. They are full of nagging about a lot of housework, and he still misses his ex-wife Ding Furen, afraid of losing face to see his eldest son Cao Ang. Su Dongpo said: "A traitor is a fake all his life, and the truth is seen when he dies." . In fact, it embodies Cao Cao's atmosphere, as the saying goes: "Only heroes can be true, and it is true celebrities who are romantic." Needless to say, in a word, from Cao Cao, we can see different personalities and different faces, which are both contradictory and unified. It can be said that they are extremely clever, stupid, cunning and treacherous, frank and sincere, open-minded, suspicious, generous, narrow-minded, everyone's demeanor, villain's face and heroic spirit, children's feelings, Yan's temper and Bodhisattva's heart.
