　　悲憤之下，曹植急中生智，作出七步詩，是的意思就是“本來就是親兄弟，為什麼要這樣步步緊逼，傷及感情?”

　　Tsau Jr was very intelligent and loved to study. He wrote many outstanding articles which showed his artistic talent and earned him the admiration of many people. One scholar said of him: "Heaven gave the world ten decalitres of talent, and Tsau Jr alone has eight of them."
