曹丕

Cao Pi was an important figure of the late Han and Three Kingdoms period and one of the representative writers of Jian'an literature. This site carries five of his works, including Dianlun - Three Kingdoms, The Complete Works of Cao Pi, Selected Poems of Cao Pi (New Edition), Selected Poems of the Cao Family (3 volumes), and Records of the Strange, spanning literary criticism, poetry, and tales of the strange; common categories include Eastern philosophy, literature, and classical poetry. His poems often concern travel, banquets, and personal feeling, with a clear, restrained style and subtle emotion. The critical passages in Dianlun show a self-conscious reflection on the value of writing and have influenced later literary criticism, while Records of the Strange belongs to early tales of the strange, indicating the breadth of his interests. Public information on his exact life, dates, and nationality is limited, so this introduction makes no inferences and presents his writing only through the works and categories held here.
