Learn the Chinese Poem Seven Steps Verse with ShaoLan

Poet 曹植 (cáo zhí) was a prince 1,800 years ago, and his father was
the famous warlord, King of Wei Cao Cao, 曹操 (cáo cāo). One day, Cao
Pi, Cao Zhi's oldest brother, made up an excuse, summoned Cao Zhi
to the court. Cao Pi issued a request to Cao Zhi to compose a poem
within seven strides or be executed. As talented as he was, Cao Zhi
came out with this quatrain within seven steps. That's how the
title of this poem came from.
