About
Cao Pi (187 – 29 June 226[1]), formally known as Emperor Wen of Wei, was the first emperor of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Born in Qiao County, Pei Commandery (present-day Bozhou, Anhui), he was the second son of the late Han Dynasty warlord Cao Cao.Cao Pi, like his father, was a poet. The first Chinese poem using seven syllables per line (七言詩) was the poem Yan Ge Xing (燕歌行) by Cao Pi. He also wrote over a hundred articles on various subjects.
Cao Pi was the eldest son of Cao Cao and his concubine (later wife) Lady Bian. Of all his brothers, Cao Pi was the most shrewd. Instead of studying hard or conducting military affairs, he was always in the presence of court officials in order to gain their support.[citation needed] He was mostly in charge of defense[clarification needed] at the start of his career. After the defeat of rival warlord Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu, he took the widow of Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi, Lady Zhen, as a consort, although eventually she lost his favor and was forced to commit suicide. After he became emperor, his other favorite, Guo Nüwang, became empress.
In 220, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian, last ruler of the Han Dynasty, to abdicate and proclaimed himself Emperor of Wei. Cao Pi continued his father's war against the rival states of Shu Han and Eastern Wu but was unsuccessful. Unlike his father, he concentrated most of his efforts on his home country. During his reign, he formally established Chen Qun's nine-rank system as the base for civil service nomination, which drew many talents into his government. On the other hand, he drastically reduced the power of princes, stripping off their power to oppose him, but at the same time, rendering them unable to assist the emperor if a crisis arose within the state.
My burning fighting spirit calms my fever. With my back leading the way, I shall control the vicious tides. I do not wish to run or hide. I was born in order to complete The endless dream beyond the horizon. The phoenix does not sleep. I was Born to be brave. I make even pain my ally And break through the sky. When I overcome the towering wall, Inside of my heart Tomorrow will reflect, and the morning sun will rise
A blue silence and a closed door I challenged to open it with a persistent fighting spirit. These feelings I won't give up will even pierce through the heavens. Above my resolution is the path I move down. I suppose I shall bring out my true strength. I will just erase the fools in my way In order to rule over heaven and below. With my polished life, I'll Ride on the age. Accepting the tempest, drenched by the rain I run through the present.
Inheriting power was the fate I have carried. I open up a new age with my own hands. I just continue my military rule, getting covered in blood. I will not waver. I will not look back. You should bow down to me right here. Everything I do is so that I am superior. I release my soul That freezes the battle field. Fly high! I make even pain my ally And break through the sky. When I overcome the towering wall, Inside of my heart Tomorrow will reflect, and the morning sun will rise.
