Glad u like it Spermy
Do lookout how Yi Zhong Tian compared Zhuge with Cao Cao in managing their own nation, episode 34 above.
For Cao Cao, his character is very broad and complex, Yi Zhong Tian said this kind of person are destined for greatness.
Dear Alamaking,
Thanks for your recommendations, I truly find that these seminars are a rare find. It does demystify many things, and acts as a good guide on the truth of RTK. Right now, I've just finished episode 3 of Professor Yi Zhong Tian's seminar, would be going through slowly of these treasures.
I really agree that intelligence, and wisdom of Cao Cao is of higher than most people of his time, and Cao Cao in his younger days deligently studies ART OF WAR, and MILITARY STRATEGY.
On episode 3, of Professor Yi Zhong Tian's seminar, he mentions that Cao Cao only wanted to be a Courtier with a small title of a General, however, at that time, 乱世时代, that pushed him to become 奸雄.
许劭 (Xu Shao) predicted that Cao Cao, when he was young, in his 20s, he could become a Courtier of average grade in time of peace, however, a 奸雄 (Cunning Hero), in times of turmoil, 乱世时代.
I really like this character Cao Cao, 可爱的奸雄, the probability of arriving at that kind of title is rather difficult, don't you think?
There was a line from Professor Yi Zhong Tian's seminar, that; Cao Cao love to laugh, and doesn't care the way he laughs, and Liu Bei only know how to cry.... hahaha... that's why I feel so disgusted about Liu Bei, truly an idiot.
I'll contribute what I've learnt from 易中天,教授(厦门大学). Thanks again Alamaking...
A discovery, Intelligence and Wisdom CAN be inculcated, Ambitions CAN be build upon, however, Characteristic and Tendencies are inborn.
