  Actually I'd argue Cao Cong more well known than Cao Pi.
  
  'cos there is this famous story in chinese about Cao Cong weighing an elephant. You all heard of it?
  
  It is entitled "Cao Cong weighing elephant". Whereas the poem story is entitled "7 Steps Poetry" and readers are not immediately told of the names of the two brothers involved.

  anyway, as for JJ's Cao Cao song, i think if vincent fang (the guy who always writes song for jay chou) were to pen the song, it'll definately sounds better.
