The author of the Seven Steps Poem is Cao Zhi, a poet of the Three Kingdoms period. The gist of the poem is: the beans are boiling in the pot because they want to filter out the residue of the beans and leave the bean juice for soup; The bean stalks burn under the pot, and the beans cry inside the pot; Beans and bean straw originally grew from the same root, how could bean straw be so urgent to torment beans!
The first two sentences describe the daily life phenomenon of burning beans, and the latter sentence turns sharply, focusing on Cao Zhi's inner grief and indignation, and he is obviously questioning Cao Pi: You and I are brothers, why do you work so hard?

Seven-step poem [Three Kingdoms, Wei] Cao Zhi.
Boiled beans are used as soup, and the soybeans are used as juice.
The beans are burning under the kettle, and the beans are crying in the kettle.

Translation: Boiling beans to make bean soup, I want to filter out the residue of the beans, leaving the bean juice to make the soup. The bean stalks burn under the pot, and the beans cry inside the pot; Beans and bean straw originally grew from the same root, how could bean straw be so urgent to torment beans!
Appreciating this poem is purely in the technique of comparison, the language is simple, the meaning is clear, there is no need to explain more, only need to dredge up a little in individual words and sentences, and its meaning is self-evident. The poet's clever use of words, and the fact that he blurts out in an instant is truly breathtaking. The phrase "born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other" has become a common phrase for thousands of years for people to exhort people to avoid fraternal walls and cannibalism, indicating that this poem is widely circulated among the people.
Through the daily phenomenon of burning beans and boiling beans, Cao Zhi's inner grief and indignation are expressed.
The authenticity of the seven-step poem has always been disputed. Among them, Guo Moruo said more reasonably. He thinks Cao Zhi's "Seven Steps Poem":
If you look at it more closely, I am afraid that the elements of the annex will account for the majority. Mostly because later generations sympathized with Cao Zhi and were dissatisfied with Cao Pi, so it was created as this kind of **. In fact, if Cao Pi wants to kill Cao Zhi, why use forcing him to write poems as an excuse?
Zi Jian is talented, and he doesn't know it. And if you really want to kill him, you can still kill him after the poem is written, so why be 'deeply ashamed' just by being ridiculed?Therefore, the authenticity of this poem is relatively small.
However, because of writing this poem, Cao Zhi maintained a thousand years of sympathy, and Cao Pi was rejected for a thousand years. This is really the so-called 'who cares about right and wrong behind the scenes'. But his statement is also questioned, some people say that Cao Pi let Cao Zhi become a poem in seven steps was just an excuse to kill him, he thought that Cao Zhi would definitely not succeed, but he didn't expect that Cao Zhi was so talented, at that time, even Cao Pi himself was moved a little, and in order to keep his reputation and peace in the world, he let Cao Zhi go.
About the Author. Cao Zhi (192 232), also known as Zijian, was born in Xin County, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province. He is a famous writer of Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms and a representative of Jian'an literature. The son of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, and the younger brother of Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, was King Chen during his lifetime, and was nicknamed "Si" after his death, so he was also called King Chen Si.
Later generations called him and Cao Cao and Cao Pi together as the "Three Caos" because of his literary attainments, and Xie Lingyun, a writer from the Southern Song Dynasty, had the evaluation of "there is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian monopolizes eight buckets". Wang Shizhen talked about the poets who can be called "immortals" in the 2,000 years since the Han and Wei dynasties, Cao Zhi, Li Bai, and Su Shi.
This poem uses the same root and beans as a metaphor for the brothers who share the same father and mother, and uses the fried beans to metaphorize the elder brother who is the flesh and blood of the same brother to mutilate the younger brother, vividly and in simple terms reflects the cruel struggle within the feudal ruling group.
