| | Cao Mao Information |
 | | Cao Mao was born in 241, the son of Cao Lin (曹霖), the Prince of Donghai, who was the son of Cao Wei's first emperor Cao Pi, making him the cousin of Cao Fang, the emperor at the time of his birth. |
 | | In 244, at age three, in accordance with Cao Wei's regulations that the sons of princes (other than the first-born son of the prince's wife, customarily designated the prince's heir) were to be created dukes, he was created the Duke of Gaoguixiang. |
 | | It was at this time that Cao Fang's stepmother Empress Dowager Guo (the wife of Cao Fang's adoptive father, Cao Rui (Emperor Ming)) made a last ditch attempt at preserving Cao Wei's imperial authority, by injecting herself into the process of selecting the next emperor. |
