Was there hip-hop in ancient China?

The earliest signs of ancient hip-hop music in China can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a large number of talented production groups and individuals appeared, which is also the time when people finally began to really pay attention to hip-hop music. At the same time, that era is generally regarded as the golden age of rap.

A young rapper, Cao Zhi, stepped onto the stage and started a new night of hip-hop music with his pen. Facing the threats of his younger brother Cao Pi in the imperial court, he was ordered to improvise within seven steps. Cao Zhi improvised seven-step poems with his strong improvisation ability, and saved his life with freestyle. This is also the earliest prototype of on-site freestyle recorded in history, so Cao Zhi is usually regarded as the father of freestyle.

Cao Zhi's seven-step poem occupies an important position in the history of ancient street dance in China, and another reason is that it has become one of the important works to trace the birth of the new school "Shoumai".

Why do you say that? Actually, it's not difficult to call Mai. First of all, you should skillfully use the words "I, he, this and that", and then you can rhyme on any poem. The first fusion is the "seven-step poem" with dynamic rhythm:

Knock, knock, boil beans, I'll burn a bean basket! Beans are here, crying in this kettle! Ben, the same root! Fried, why is he in a hurry!
