Graphical Abstract
Abstract
Morally, Cao Cao was a great evil man.But aesthetically, he was a perfect image with beauty and charm.Such beauty image originated from his heroism which was fully expressed in his early years.After the unification of central plains, due to his arrogance and indulgence in enjoyment, his heroism decreased.And this resulted in the change of his image from beauty to ugliness.His beauty in image had nothing to do with moral, went beyond kindness and showed his personality.
