煮豆歌(曹植, 七步诗)

煮豆燃豆萁,豆在釜中泣:本是同根生,相煎何太急?

Song of cooking beans(Johnson K. Gao translated in English from Cao Zhi’s poem with only 20 Chinese characters, which was composed in

seven walking steps.)

Cooking beans uses the fire from the beanstalk.

Beans are crying in the metal wok (cauldron).Both of them grew from the same root.

Why the flame is burning so hot?
