1, "Zhongshan is stormy, and millions of heroes cross the river." These two poems depict the grand scene of 1949 when the People's Liberation Army crossed the river to capture Nanjing. The storm in Zhongshan hinted at the fierceness and difficulty of the battle that decided China's fate. Million Heroes shows the great strength and firm determination of the PLA. Through this picturesque description, we can feel the tension and bitterness of the wars in those years, and we can also see the courage and tenacity of the China People's Liberation Army.
2. "The dragon plate of the tiger is better than in the past, upside down and generous." These two poems describe the new look of Nanjing after liberation and the scenes of people's celebration. Living in Longpan is a geomorphological feature of Nanjing and a symbol of Nanjing's history. On the other hand, it vividly expresses the changes in Nanjing after liberation. These two poems not only express the author's expectation and confidence in the new China, but also show the author's high fighting spirit and heroism.
3. "It's better to pursue hard than to learn from bullies." These two poems use allusions to warn all soldiers and civilians to cherish the revolutionary achievements and not give up halfway. The "poor bandits" here refer to the remnants of the Kuomintang, and the "overlord" refers to Xiang Yu. Taking Xiang Yu's failure as a mirror, Mao Zedong emphasized that the People's Liberation Army must pursue the remnants of the Kuomintang in order to achieve the goal of complete elimination. This also reflects Mao Zedong's military thought of attaching importance to the enemy strategically and despising the enemy tactically.
4. "If the sky is sentimental and old, the world will be vicissitudes." These two poems express the author's feelings about the vicissitudes of history and his firm belief in the bright future of new China. If there is love in the sky, there will be old age. This is a poem by Li He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, which means that even the heartless sky will grow old with the passage of time.
Here, Mao Zedong uses this sentence to express that the vicissitudes of history are unstoppable, the old world will eventually pass, and the new world is coming. The right path in the world is vicissitudes of life and a firm belief in the revolutionary road, which means that social progress and development can only be achieved through revolution.
5. "Ask Wen Jun where to go, and the paper boat will burn like the sun." These are the last two sentences of the poem, which mean, excuse me, where are you going? We will burn you completely with paper boats and candles. This is Mao Zedong's expression of disdain and contempt for the Kuomintang reactionaries and all reactionary forces with ancient poems, which shows the great ambition of the People's Liberation Army not to be afraid of strong enemies and dare to fight and win.
