There came social unrest and transition in the East Han Dynasty. The Confucian ideology began to collapse and it made creative writing achieve its own emancipation from restraints. The literary works which were full of real sentiments were flourishing. San Cao is the representative of the Jian An poets. They are influenced by the Book of Songs and Yuefu Songs of the Han dynasty and wrote plenty of remarkable poems. On the other hand, there would be no guarantee for the people's lives in such exceptionally tense wartime conditions in the East Han Dynasty. San Cao began to reflect on their fate and life. So in their poetry, except some lyrics, there were plenty of life consciousnesses in their works. Their life consciousness is different from each other in the different time.The life consciousness is a synthesis. It carries off spiritual horizons, psychological state and life quotient of author in different stages of life. And these factors are connecting to author's life experience and creative writing. The life experiences and style of Sancao are different from each other, so the life consciousness of them is not similar. There were three steps through Cao Cao's life consciousness: awaking in his youth, resisting during warfare and returning to the common after transcending himself. The life consciousness was smooth in the third step. Cao Cao's life consciousness is a integrated system: from rethinking his fate to release his will to life and from dispelling anxiety to self-ease.There are discrepancies between Cao Cao and his sons in life consciousness. There was a harmonious relation between their responsories and passion during their Ye Zhong life. They didn't experience so much anxiety but indulged in joviality and auto lesion leisurely and comfortable. Cao Pi and his young brother's destiny changed a lot after Cao Pi got the throne. Because of the power, Cao Pi's life consciousness was full of delight. Then the sense of loss replaced the delight after a short time. His life consciousness had been in low tide till he died. On the other hand, Cao Zhi's tragic fate was coming after his old brother got the throne. He lost his passion and Dionysian spirit after a list of political persecution. And he fell into a kind of circle of destiny which likes Sisyphus's life. His life was fulfilled dismay and clinging until his death. San Cao's life consciousness keeps changing in the wake of their life experience and destiny. Like dancer's body moving along with the pulse of the music, their life consciousness rhythm was inextricably linked with their survival state.
