original text
Qin Yi e Lou shan Guan
Mao Zedong [Modern]
The west wind is strong, and the geese in the sky are called frost morning moon. First frost morning, horseshoe broken, horn swallowed.
Xiongguan road is as iron as iron, and now it is still one step away from the beginning. From the beginning, Cangshan was like the sea and the sunset was like blood.
translate
The west wind is fierce, and flocks of geese fly south in the sky, singing in waves, frost flowers everywhere, and the moon is waning in the sky. The day is about to break, the sound of horseshoes is fragmentary and complicated, and the sound of bugles is gloomy and low.
Don't say that Loushanguan is as hard as iron, let's rally now. Castle peak ups and downs, like the waves of the sea, the sunset is bright red, like the color of blood.
To annotate ...
Recalling Qin E: The epigraph name comes from the word "Qin E Dream Breaking Qin Louyue" written by Li Bai. Disyllabic, rhyming, 46 words. The first name of this inscription is Li Bai's "Qin Yi E Xiao Shengyan". This piece of music has many aliases, including Qin Louyue, Jade Cross, Blue Cloud and Double Lotus Leaf, and Qin Louyue has the same name as the first sentence of Qin Yi E.
Loushanguan: Also known as Louguan and Taipingguan, it is located on the highest peak of Dalou Mountain in the north of Zunyi, Guizhou, and it is an important pass for northern Guizhou to enter Sichuan, about 60 kilometers away from Zunyi City. Loushanguan terrain is dangerous. Guizhou Tongzhi said that "the peaks and peaks are inserted into the sky, and the first line of Zhongtong". It is a traffic tunnel between Sichuan and Guizhou. There are many peaks here, and the first line of reunification is very dangerous, which has always been a battleground for military strategists. Loushanguan is a natural disaster on the way of the Red Army's Long March, and the fighting here is related to the life and death of the Red Army.
The west wind is fierce: fierce, fierce, fierce; The west wind is strong.
The geese in the sky are called frost morning moon: under the reflection of frost morning and waning moon, there are geese singing in the misty sky. These two sentences are about the dawn scene of the successful end of the battle of Loushanguan.
Frost morning and moon: overlapping, similar to harmony in melody, has a chain effect. For details, see the inscription E of Qin Yi.
The hoofbeat is broken: broken, broken, broken.
Trumpet throat: Trumpet, a wind instrument, is a bugle. Swallowing, whimpering, choking, low voice due to obstruction.
Xiongguan Road is really like iron: Xiongguan, Xiongguan, refers to Loushanguan. Say it for nothing, say it for nothing. It is vain to say that Loushanguan is as hard as iron.
Now start from the beginning: go, go, stride. The first jump is the first jump. Zhang Xiang's lexical explanation of poetry and lyrics: "The head is still a cloud from the beginning, or the beginning." It means to start over. It is about striding across Xiongguan from the beginning, but it vaguely reveals that the strategic task was frustrated at that time, and the Long March plan had to be deployed from the beginning, and there was unshakable confidence in winning.
Cangshan is like the sea: the green hills rise and fall like the waves of the sea.
Sunset is like blood: the sunset is bright red, like the color of blood.
Creation background
This word was written in1February, 935, and was first published in Poetry Journal, 1957+0.
1Mao Zedong's leading position was established at the Zunyi meeting in June, 935. After the meeting, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Wang Jiaxiang formed a military command group. In order to continue the Long March, the Red Army went north through Loushanguan and prepared to cross the river between Luzhou and Yibin. However, when encountering obstacles, Mao Zedong resolutely decided to cross Chishui and return to Zunyi, so he crossed Loushanguan again.
In the early morning of February 25th, the Red Army advanced to Loushanguan, where it joined forces with the Guizhou Army. Gwan Chin fought in panic and retreated to the pass. The Red Army launched a fierce attack along Panshan Road, and finally held Xiongguan in its hands in the evening, enabling large troops to pass smoothly and move towards a successful future. Because of the significance of this battle, the poet was very excited and wrote this word soon after the battle.
Make an appreciative comment
Throughout the poem, the first half is about scenery, and the second half is about mood. There are feelings in the scenery, and there are also scenery in the feelings. The scene is integrated and harmonious. And its structure is unique, the upper part is gloomy and the lower part is passionate. The upper part is cold and the lower part is warm. Color contrast is strong, and emotional contrast is also strong. The sharp contrast between the upper and lower parts reflects the author's optimism and boldness of vision as a great generation. There are only forty-six words in the whole article. Although the length is short, it is magnificent, solemn and stirring, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Only a few strokes, "weight" is very heavy, like a stick figure written by a master. The brushwork is concise and endless, outlining a magnificent winter night March, showing the author's calm tolerance and mind in the face of failure and difficulties.
