Jieshi looks at the sea in the east. Where is this Jieshi that Cao Cao boarded?

At that time, Cao Cao went to Jieshi Mountain to express his ambition, and Jieshi Mountain became a place for many emperors to follow suit. Everyone has different views on the location of Jieshi Mountain. According to the content of the poem, I think Jieshi Mountain is in Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province. The reason why it is Jieshi Mountain is because there is a Meng Jiangnv Temple, and there are two prominent boulders on the sea opposite this temple, where the remains of the Qin and Han Dynasties have been found.

The ancient Jieshi is a beautiful place. Many emperors have personally climbed Jieshi Mountain, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong have all been there, and they have also written poems on it. Looking at the Sea was written by Cao Cao on his way back from the northern expedition to Wuhuan. At that time, Cao Cao won the battle, defeated Yuan Shao with fewer victories, and defeated Wu Huan this time. Conquering Wu Huan is also Cao Cao's goal, because the cooperation between Yuan Shao and Wu Huan gave Cao Cao a good reason to punish him. After all, their combination is like a time bomb, threatening Cao Cao's life. But fortunately, Cao Cao, who was well prepared, won a decisive victory.

Because he got everything he wanted, he was happy and excited. After all, he finally pacified the north and became the strongest dynasty, which is not far from his next goal of unifying the world. So he wrote a poem with his own lofty aspirations in Jieshi Mountain, which has been passed down to this day. Later, Qin Shihuang even built the Jieshi Palace.

Cao Cao's "Looking at the Sea" outlines the magnificent scene of the sea devouring the sun, the moon and everything, and depicts the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and its grandeur. At that time, he also expressed Cao Cao's concern for the world.
