浅论曹植立嫡之争

On CAO Zhi's Participation in Competition of Crown Prince

一直以来,人们多把曹丕对曹植横加迫害的原因归于曹植曾经与曹丕进行过激烈的立嫡之争,这实际是一个"冤假错案"。仔细考察历史记载和曹植的诗文,结合曹植的思想个性,不难发现所谓"立嫡之争"只是曹丕在和曹操的选择及曹植的依附者进行竞争,而曹植本人根本不曾有争夺之意。

Many people have long ascribed the cause that CAO Pi willfully persecuted CAO Zhi to CAO Zhi＇s cutthroat competition of the crown prince. This is practically a miscarriage. This article, based on careful analysis of historical records and CAO Zhi＇s poems together in light of the political character of CAO Zhi, finds that the so-called ＂competition of crown prince＂ didn＇t carry out between CAO Pi and CAO Zhi, but between CAO Pi and CAO Cao and the followers of CAO Zhi. CAO Zhi himself has never had the thought of becoming the crown prince.
