[Epoch Times November 02, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Chen Ting comprehensive report) Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a song on social media on Tuesday (November 2) Ancient Chinese poems have caused a large number of netizens to speculate on the meaning behind the tweet.
Musk has always been known for his mysterious Twitter posts. On Tuesday, Musk wrote “Humankind” in English on his official Twitter and Weibo accounts, and then posted a four-sentence version of Cao Zhi’s Chinese poem “Seven Steps” “Cooking beans and burning beans, beans in the cauldron Weeping. It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious to fry with each other”, and did not explain much.
This poem with profound meaning describes the story between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi in the Cao Wei family during the Three Kingdoms period. There are two versions of this poem, four sentences and six sentences. Among them, the four-sentence version is particularly popular and is seen in the novel “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. Although this story is not recorded in official history, almost all students in the Chinese world will learn this poem that gave Cao Zhi the reputation of “seven steps into a poem”.
Discussions on how to interpret Musk’s posts have aroused great repercussions on the Internet.
According to Reuters, many people believe that Musk may be alluding to two dog-themed cryptocurrencies: shiba inu and dogecoin. He has been mentioning these two competing cryptocurrencies on Twitter this week.
Some netizens said that Dou Ji may be a homophonic of “doge”.
Although cryptocurrency trading is prohibited in China, Musk’s tweets often affect the cryptocurrency market.
Some people also think that this post may be an expression after Musk and the United Nations World Food Program had an intense exchange on the issue of donations.
Earlier, the director of the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) David Beasley called on the super-rich to take action and specifically named Musk and Bezos to donate US$6 billion to the famine.
Musk said: “If WFP can explain clearly how the US$6 billion solves the world famine, I will immediately sell Tesla shares and donate.” He added that the public must clearly see how the money is spent.
