Описание к видео The Song of a True Confucian Prince: the Ballad of White Horse 白馬篇 by Cao Zhi 曹植

A well-known poem by Prince Cao Zhi is translated and analysed in this video. This poem is the first one with the title of Ballad of White Horse 白馬篇. This poem inspired many poets to compose poems with the same or similar title and content including Li Bai 李白, Yang Guang 楊廣, and Wang Wei 王維.
This video also tells the tragic story of Cao Zhi. He was a true belieber of Confucianism. His failure to become the heir of his father Cao Cao also represented the failure of Confucianism as the state ideology. It just breaks one's heart to read this inspirational poem after learning how he never realized his political inspiration!!
