Elon Musk publishes ancient poetry of the Three Kingdoms, making waves in the cryptocurrency community

According to Bloomberg news, billionaire Elon Musk recently published a 7-step poem, also known as “seven poems” by poet Cao Shi during the Three Kingdoms period, causing many people to speculate about their meaning related to Dogecoin. and Shiba Inu in the cryptocurrency market.

In the Three Kingdoms period, after Cao Cao’s death, Cao Phi succeeded his father as King of Wei. However, due to suspicion that Cao Shi’s younger brother intended to compete for the right to take the throne as well as jealous of his literary talent, Cao Phi ordered Cao Shi within 7 steps to write a poem on the topic of his brother, but he was not allowed to do so. Use these two words, or you will be executed.

After 7 steps, Cao Shi borrowed the image of a bean plant to refer to the fact that brothers of the same bloodline and origin would harm each other. Legend has it that after hearing this poem, Cao Phi was ashamed and forgiven Cao Shi’s death.

Translation of the poem:

Boil beans to make soup,

Filter beans to get water,

Bean sprouts burned under the pot.

The beans in the pot cry,

Capital born from one root,

Why burn each other so fiercely?

Poetry translation- Source: Phan Ke Binh

Cook beans, burn bean sprouts,

Beans in the pot cry.

Born from the same root,

Why burn each other?

Returning to the story of Elon Musk, this world’s richest billionaire titled the poem “Humankind” before quoting Cao Shi’s 7-step poem.

Some people on Twitter have speculated about the relationship of the poem alluding to the two cryptocurrencies currently attracting attention, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. Both use the Shiba Inu dog symbol and are in fact created by a joke. However, the Shiba Inu coin was built later but increased in price, surpassing Dogecoin in terms of total market capitalization, thereby creating comparisons and quarrels about these two coins.
