According to Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu · Wen Xue of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Emperor Wen ordered the king of Dong'e to write poems in seven steps, but if he failed, he would follow the great method. In response to the poem, he said," cook beans and hold them as soup, percolate them as juice; the Osmunda burns under the cauldron, and the beans cry in the cauldron; they are born of the same root, so why is it too urgent to fry each other? " The emperor is deeply ashamed. Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei Dynasty, once ordered Cao Zhi, the king of East Asia, to write a poem within seven steps. If he could not, he would be executed. Cao Zhi wrote a poem in response to the voice: "boiled beans serve as a soup, and percolated beans serve as juice. The pan is burning under the cauldron, and the beans are crying in the cauldron: "this is born of the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other?" Emperor Wei Wen was deeply ashamed.

At this time, Cao Zhi, the fourth younger brother, was left, whom Cao Pi deeply hated. He ordered Cao Zhi to walk seven steps above the main hall, and then wrote an impromptu poem on the title of brothers. However, the word "brother" could not appear in the poem. If it was successful, it would be a killer. Without thinking about it, Cao Zhi blurted out immediately: "boiled beans are served as soup, and wet beans are served as juice.

The couple and the couple are united, and the rain and the wind irrigate the jade field. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang was the capital. Cao Zhi, the third son of Cao Cao, the prime minister, was the most famous writer in the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Zhi has been intelligent since he was a child. He was able to read hundreds of thousands of poems, essays, and Fu when he was more than 10 years old. His speech is his theory, and his writing becomes a chapter. He is deeply loved by Cao Cao. Cao Cao once thought that Cao Zhi was "the most important one" among all the scholars, and he wanted to make him his son several times. However, Cao Zhi's behavior was laissez faire and he repeatedly violated the law. At the same time, Cao Pi, his brother and his mother, was able to act on their own and gradually gained the upper hand in the struggle for the establishment of a crown prince. In 217 A.D., Cao Pi was elected the son of the emperor. In the 25th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (220 AD), Cao Cao died of illness. Cao Pi succeeded the throne of Wei, and soon ascended the throne of God. He established his capital in Luoyang as Emperor Wen of Wei. Fearing that some of his younger brothers would compete with him for the throne, Cao Pi took the military power of Cao Zhang, the second younger brother, and forced Cao Xiong, the fourth younger brother, to hang himself. Cao Zhi's life has changed fundamentally since then. Under Cao Pi's suspicion and suspicion, he has changed from a noble son who lives a happy life to an object who is restricted and attacked everywhere. Once, Cao Zhi was denounced for drinking and swearing, and he detained the envoys sent by Cao Pi. But he didn't commit any serious crime, and he didn't recruit any soldiers. He wanted to punish him for conspiracy and rebellion, and he couldn't convince the public. Cao Pi came up with a way to cure him. Cao Pi summoned Cao Zhi from the fiefdom to Luoyang, pointed to an ink painting on the main hall that "two cows fight under the wall, one cow falls into the well and dies", and ordered Cao Zhi to write a poem within seven steps, but the words "two cows fight under the wall, one cow falls into the well and dies" were not allowed in the poem. If he failed to do so, he would be severely punished. after Cao Zhi agreed, he wrote a poem before he finished seven steps: "two meats walk in the same way, with concave bones on his head. We met at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly we started to see each other. The two enemies are not all strong, and one flesh lies in the earth cave. It's not as good as strength Cao Pi and other officials were surprised. Cao Pi said, "it's still slow to make a poem in seven steps. I want you to write it in response to the voice." Cao Zhi said, "please make a proposition." Cao Pi said, "you and I are brothers. We are not allowed to use the word" brother "on this topic." Cao Pi thought, if you succeed, you'll be killed. He didn't expect that without thinking, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in response: "boiled beans serve as soup, and percolated beans serve as juice. Osmunda in the kettle burning, beans in the kettle crying. We are all born of the same root. Why should we fry each other too soon? " In the poem, Cao Pi was accused of fraternity by using the metaphor of "boiling beans and burning Osmunda". After hearing this, Cao Pi was deeply ashamed. Maybe he was afraid of being ridiculed by the world. In order to keep his reputation, he only demoted Cao Zhi as Marquis of Anping. Cao Zhi escaped the disaster with his outstanding literary talent. Although the seven step poem saved Cao Zhi's life, his situation did not get a fundamental improvement. The state of Wei still pursued the policy of strict restrictions on the patriarchal clan. Cao Zhi finally died at the age of 40. However, because of the writing of this poem, Cao Zhi has been sympathized for thousands of years, and Cao Pi has been denounced for thousands of years. But there is also a saying that Cao Zhi made a mistake, Cao Pi deliberately let him go, knowing that Cao Zhi had the ability to compose poems in seven steps, so he ordered him to compose poems in seven steps. There are two versions of Cao Zhi's seven step poem. The seven step poem recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu contains six sentences. Later, it was condensed into four sentences in mansou Shi Hua and the romance of the Three Kingdoms: "boil beans, burn ferns, and the beans cry in the cauldron.". They were born of the same root. Why are you in such a hurry to fry each other? " later generations often use the metaphor of brotherhood to satirize those who do not cherish brotherhood. While "boiling beans and burning Osmunda" and "what's the urgency of each other" are used to describe brothers' pressure, and "seven steps into a poem" is used to describe the quickness of humanistic thinking. As a matter of fact, Cao Zhi's talent is far more than seven steps into a poem. His Luoshen Fu also has a far-reaching influence and has become a famous romantic piece that has been handed down through the ages. It is said that when Cao Zhi was young, he saw Zhen's love. After Cao Pi became emperor, the Zhen family was granted imperial concubine, and finally died miserably. After Zhen's death, Cao Zhi went to Luoyang to see his brother. When he saw Zhen's son, he felt very sad. When he returned to the fiefdom, Cao Zhi stayed in the boat at night. In a trance, he saw Zhen's coming from the distance. He woke up with a start, and his literary thoughts were agitated. According to the scene of meeting with Zhen in Luoshui in his dream, he wrote a "Gan Zhen Fu", which was later known as "Luo Shen Fu".
