This book provides a translation of the complete poems and fu of
Cao Zhi (192-232), one of China's most famous poets. Cao Zhi lived
during a tumultuous age, a time of intrepid figures and of bold and
violent acts that have captured the Chinese imagination across the
centuries. His father Cao Cao (155-220) became the most powerful
leader in a divided empire, and on his death, Cao Zhi's elder
brother Cao Pi (187-226) engineered the abdication of the last Han
emperor, establishing himself as the founding emperor of the Wei
Dynasty (220-265). Although Cao Zhi wanted to play an active role
in government and military matters, he was not allowed to do so,
and he is remembered as a writer. The Poetry of Cao Zhi contains in
its body one hundred twenty-eight pieces of poetry and fu. The
extant editions of Cao Zhi's writings differ in the number of
pieces they contain and present many textual variants. The
translations in this volume are based on a valuable edition of
Cao's works by Ding Yan (1794-1875), and are supplemented by robust
annotations, a brief biography of Cao Zhi, and an introduction to
the poetry by the translator.
