2. The second half focuses on lyricism. By describing autumn scenery in Changsha and recalling the revolutionary struggle life in his youth, he put forward the question of "Who is in charge of ups and downs", and expressed his optimistic attitude towards the future of the Chinese nation and his lofty ambition of taking the affairs of the world as his own responsibility.
Qinyuanchun Changsha was written by Mao Zedong in the autumn of 1925. The original poem is as follows:
Independent cold autumn, Xiangjiang River north, Orange Island.
You see the mountains and plains, and the layers of forests are all dyed; The river is full of water, and hundreds of people compete for the flow.
The eagle strikes the sky, the fish is shallow, and all kinds of frost fight for freedom.
Lonely, ask the boundless earth, who is in charge of ups and downs?
I took a hundred couples on a trip to reminisce about the past years.
Just a classmate and teenager, in full bloom; Scholar spirit, Fang Qiu.
Pointing out the maze, inspiring words, the dirt in Wan Huhou that year.
Remember hitting the water in the middle stream and the waves stopped the speedboat?
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: In late autumn, I stood in Orange Island and watched the Xiangjiang River slowly flow northward. Look, all the peaks have turned red, the woods seem to be stained with color, the river is crystal clear, big ships are braving the wind and waves, eagles are soaring in the vast sky, fish are swimming in the clear water, and everything is vying for the free life of Qiu Guang. Facing the boundless universe, I want to ask: Who decides to dominate the rise and fall of this boundless earth?
In retrospect, my classmates and I often come here together. Talking about state affairs together, countless extraordinary years still haunt me. Students are in their youth and prime of life; Everyone is full of ambition, commenting on state affairs, writing these magnificent and clear articles, and treating the warlords and bureaucrats at that time as dirt. Do you remember we swam in the rapids together? At that time, the waves were big enough to stop the fast-moving ships.

China people's leader, Marxist, great proletarian revolutionist, strategist, theorist, main founder and leader of China Production Party, China People's Liberation Army and People's Republic of China (PRC), poet and calligrapher.
"Qinyuanchun Changsha" is a long tune, reflecting the content of modern life in a traditional way, which is quite creative and shows the poet's ingenuity. The independent cold and autumn pictures, the Qiu Jingtu of Xiangjiang River, the picture of eventful years and the picture of hitting the water in the middle stream described in the ci are combined into a colorful and lively panoramic freehand brushwork landscape painting.
The last three sentences show the heroic ambition of the author and "100 couples", and also show people that this fearless revolutionary spirit is necessary to realize the great revolutionary ideal of "ups and downs".
