Cao Cao paid him a visit in hopes of receiving the evaluation that will earn him political reputation. When asked, Cao Cao replied, "I have never had such illness, but I lost the love of my uncle, and therefore he had deceived you." Henceforth, Cao Song ceased to believe the words of his brother regarding Cao Cao, and thus Cao Cao became even more blatant in his wayward pursuits.Īt that time, there was a man living in Runan named Xu Shao who was famed for his ability to evaluate one's potentials and talents. Cao Song rushed out to see his son, who then acted normally. To counter this, Cao Cao one day feigned a fit before his uncle, who hurriedly informed Cao Song. According to the Biography of Cao Man, Cao Cao's uncle often complained to Cao Song regarding Cao Cao's childhood indulgence in hunting and music with Yuan Shao. In the fictionalized Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's father was originally a Xiahou and was adopted into the Cao family.Ĭao Cao was known for his craftiness as a young man. Some historical records, including Biography of Cao Man, claim that Cao Song was originally surnamed Xiahou (thus making Cao Cao a cousin of Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, two of his most prominent generals). His father Cao Song was a foster son of Cao Teng, who in turn was one of the favorite eunuchs of Emperor Huan. This event raised criticism, a reaction from a feudalistic society.Ĭao Cao was born in the county of Qiao (譙, present day Bozhou, Anhui) in 155. One of his opponents, Kong Rong, a political opponent, a warlord and a twentieth generation descendant of Confucius, was executed by Cao Cao. His modern view, however, was a challenge to others in a Confucian feudalistic society. Partly due to lessons he learned through hardships he experienced by his social origin, Cao Cao promoted people according to their abilities regardless of their social status determined by birth. The novel also describes his "lower" social status as a grandson of a eunuch. The story has been adapted in numerous forms, including films, television series, manga and video games.The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a historical novel by Luo Guanzhong, describes Cao Cao as a villain.
