The scenery of the North Country is covered with ice for thousands of miles, and snow is drifting for thousands of miles.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing left but vastness;
The river is flowing up and down suddenly.
The mountain dance\silver snake, Yuanchi\wax figure, wants to compete with \Tiangong\.
On a clear day, it is particularly charming to see the red dress.
The country is so beautiful that countless heroes compete to bow to it.
It is a pity that Qin Emperor and Han Wu were slightly inferior to the literary talents;
Tang Zong and Song Zu were slightly inferior to the coquettishness.
Genghis Khan, a genius of his generation, only knew how to bend a bow and shoot eagles.
It’s all gone, count the romantic figures, and look at the present.

Solution to the problem On August 28, 1945, Mao Zedong flew from Yan'an to Chongqing and conducted forty-three days of negotiations with the Kuomintang. During this period, Liu Yazi repeatedly wrote poems to Mao, and on October 7, Mao wrote this poem in return. It was immediately published in Chongqing's "Xinhua Daily" and caused a sensation.
The word "Genghis Khan" in "Zhaofu" and the word "Li Tian San Chi San" in "The Sixteen Character Order" are not Chinese names, and the other is a direct reference to a folk song, so there is no need to stick to the rules.
In February 1936, Comrade Mao Zedong led the Red Army's Long March troops to Yuanjiagou, Qingjian County, northern Shaanxi Province, and prepared to cross the river to march eastward to the anti-Japanese front line. In order to inspect the topography, Comrade Mao Zedong climbed to the snow-covered plateau thousands of meters above sea level. When the great rivers and mountains "thousands of miles frozen" appeared before his eyes, he couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He became inspired by poetry and happily wrote this poem. The bold poem "Qinyuanchun·Snow". After the surrender of Japanese imperialism in 1945, Mao Zedong went to Chongqing to negotiate with the Kuomintang. In October 1945, at Liu Yazi's request, I personally wrote this poem praising snow and gave it to him. After the author returned to Yan'an, Chongqing's "Xinhua Daily" published Liu Yazi's lyrics. On November 4, Chongqing's "Xinmin Daily" published the transcript. Later, some newspapers reprinted it one after another. On January 8, 1951, the supplement of "Wenhui Po" printed and published the ink written by Comrade Mao Zedong as a gift to Liu.
Translation
The scenery in the north is covered with ice for thousands of miles and snowflakes floating for thousands of miles. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only boundless whiteness; the vast Yellow River up and down suddenly lost its surging momentum. The mountains are like silver-white pythons flying, and the hills on the plateau are like many white elephants running. They all want to try to compete with God. You have to wait until it's a sunny day to see the bright red sunshine and the white snow and ice complement each other, which is especially beautiful.
Jiangshan is so charming that countless heroes fall in love with her. It is a pity that Qin Shihuang and Han Wu Emperor were slightly less talented in literature; Tang Taizong and Song Taizu were slightly less talented in literature and governance. Genghis Khan, the man who dominated the world, only knew how to draw a bow and shoot at giant eagles. All these characters have passed away. To count the heroes who have made great achievements, we also need to look at the people today.
