Extended data character evaluation;
Mao Zedong's evaluation of Cao Cao is positive, including not only the poem "A thousand years ago, Wei Wu wielded a whip and Jieshi stayed in the East".
1954 publicly praised Cao Cao, saying: Cao Cao was a great statesman, strategist and poet ... Cao Cao unified northern China and established the State of Wei. At that time, the Yellow River Basin was the central area of China.
He reformed many evil policies in the Eastern Han Dynasty, suppressed the strongmen, developed production and practiced the system of reclamation. He also urged land reclamation, advocated the rule of law and thrift, so that the devastated society began to stabilize, recover and develop.
Shouldn't these be certain? Isn't it amazing? It is said that Cao Cao is a white-faced traitor. It's in the book, it's in the play. People say so. It is the injustice caused by feudal orthodoxy. Those reactionary gentry, who are monopolists of feudal culture, write to maintain feudal orthodoxy.
