(People's Education Edition) Post Spring Festival couplets (Hongyan)

Prison party is an excerpt from chapter 16 of the novel Red Rock. Red Rock reflects a special struggle between light and darkness on the eve of national liberation. The things described in the novel happened between the end of 1948 and the end of 1949. Across the country, the people of China won a brilliant victory in their liberation struggle, and ushered in the birth of a new China. But judging from Chongqing, where the story happened, the mountain city was occupied by Kuomintang reactionaries at that time. They set up secret prisons and frantically arrested, imprisoned and slaughtered party member and the revolutionary masses. Especially in the Sino-US Cooperation Office, including Zhazidong and Baigongguan, the dark forces are persecuting every revolutionary with a hundred times madness and cruelty. In other words, on the whole, the revolutionary forces are in an advantage; On the other hand, the revolutionary forces are still at a disadvantage. This forms a huge contrast in the novel. Every revolutionary is facing the test of life and death, and may be killed by the enemy at any time. It is in this special environment that the novel fully shows the producer's lofty revolutionary dedication and revolutionary optimism.

"Prison" refers to the scum hole in the Sino-US Cooperation Center set up by Kuomintang reactionaries under Geleshan in the suburb of Chongqing on the eve of liberation. The text is about the party held by revolutionaries in the enemy's prison on the first day of the New Year (1949). At that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries were defeated like a mountain, and they had to play the trick of "armistice" to get a break, so as to accumulate strength and fight back. In this context, the agents in Zhazidong also made a little relaxed attitude towards the imprisoned revolutionaries on the surface. Our revolutionary predecessors took this opportunity to hold a special New Year's party to celebrate the victory of the national revolution and to examine the revolutionary forces in prisons.

The text can be divided into four parts according to the process of the parties' imprisonment. The first part is about singing. On the morning of New Year's Day, before dawn, everyone sang revolutionary songs to their heart's content, which kicked off the party. The second part is about exchanging gifts. Although these souvenirs are simple, they have profound meanings, showing the ingenuity and deep determination of the revolutionaries. It can also be seen that the conditions in prison are extremely difficult. The third part is to write couplets. The words in the couplets include the vigorous brushwork of the old man and the tortuous handwriting of "children's body". All couplets are neat and natural, full of optimism and humor. The vivid and humorous couplets fully embody the revolutionary's ingenious art of struggle, and let readers see the embarrassing and helpless situation of the spies. The fourth part is about performance programs. The revolutionaries in prison suffered inhuman torture and danced yangko in chains, which was unique. The heavy chains tinkled and became a powerful accompaniment. They are full of confidence in the victory of the revolution regardless of life and death. They celebrated the birth of the new China with joyful songs and dances, expressing their great contempt for the dark forces. In a word, the text is narrated according to the progress of the party, focusing on two parts: "posting Spring Festival couplets" and "performing programs", which highlights the revolutionary optimism spirit of revolutionaries and the ingenious writing of the art of struggle, making the full text clear, coherent, focused, vivid and implicit, and intriguing.

(1) The cave has been in the world for thousands of years and only a few months, describing the rapid development of the revolutionary situation. The banner "Zhuan Gan Kun" means heaven and earth, and "Zhuan Gan Kun" means overthrowing reactionary rule.

(2) To read the revolutionary truth of Marxism-Leninism in the enemy's prison in Geleshan, and to realize Zen in the scum cave is to persist in learning and understanding the revolutionary truth. "Geleshan" refers to the location of the muck cave. The banner "Elysium" shows the optimism of revolutionaries in mastering revolutionary truth.

(3) Looking out of the window, the old scene in the cave is the Spring Festival. "Old scene" refers to the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, and "Spring Festival" refers to the prospect that the revolution will soon win in the whole country. Together with the banner "All difficulties are coming", it expresses the revolutionaries' belief in the imminent victory of the revolution and their vision for the future of the revolution.

All love can't keep almonds out of the wall. He borrowed the poems of the ancients, which not only expressed his contempt for the reactionaries (it was futile to stop the revolutionary victory), but also expressed his hope for victory (an apricot went out of the wall). The banner of "Spring Back to the Earth" vividly summarized the revolutionary situation at that time.

(5) Two skylights, a vent, a damper and an extension. "Two skylights" and "one damper" summarize the life behind bars of revolutionaries and people. The banner of "enjoy it" expresses the revolutionary feelings of revolutionaries who enjoy suffering, and it is also a clever exposure of reactionaries persecuting revolutionaries.
