Creative background and appreciation:

Mao Zedong's poem was written in 1929. The first reader should be Marshal Chen Yi. The calligraphy of this poem is a masterpiece after entering the city. At that time, Mao Zedong was on his way to western Fujian, which coincided with the Double Ninth Festival.

Its literal meaning is not difficult to understand, and its ideological depth should be said to be unique in the field of poetry, unprecedented and unprecedented.

Mao Zedong's first poem created a grand and open artistic realm. He looked at the big picture, got rid of personal gains and losses, and expressed the author's lofty aspirations from the height of history, universe and mankind.

His first poem is cursive, which is the icing on the cake. In recent years, yin flourishes and yang declines, and small skills prevail. I reread this word on the Double Ninth Festival and felt deeply.
