2. Original text
In the cold autumn of independence, the Xiangjiang River goes north , Orange Island Head. See the mountains all red, the forests all dyed; the rivers full of green, with hundreds of boats competing in the current.
The eagle strikes the sky, the fish flies on the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost compete for freedom. With a melancholy outline, I asked the vast land, who is responsible for the ups and downs?
I brought hundreds of couples on this trip to recall the glorious past. Qia's classmate is a young boy who is in his prime; he is a scholarly student and scolds Fang Qiu.
To point out the country and inspire the words, the dung is like thousands of households. Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle of the current, the waves stopped the flying boat?
3. Translation
On a crisp day in late autumn, I stood alone at the head of Orange Island, looking at the clear water of the Xiangjiang River flowing slowly northward. Look at the thousands of mountain peaks all turning red, the layers of forest seem to be dyed with color, the river is clear and blue, and the big ships are riding the wind and waves, vying to be the first.
Eagles fly in the vast sky, fish swim in the clear water, and everything is vying to live a free life in the autumn light. Facing the boundless universe, (thousands of thoughts came to my mind at the same time) I want to ask: Who will decide and dominate the rise and fall of this vast earth?
Looking back on the past, my classmates and I often came here to play together. Those countless extraordinary years spent discussing national affairs together still linger in my heart. The students are in their youth and in their prime; they are full of ambition, unrestrained and powerful.
Commenting on national affairs and writing these articles that stirred up the turmoil and promoted the pure, the warlords and bureaucrats at that time were treated like dirt. Remember? At that time, we were swimming in a deep and fast river, and the waves almost blocked the speeding boat?

1. Creation background
"Qinyuan Chun·Changsha" was written by Mao Zedong in the late autumn of 1925, when he left his hometown Shaoshan and went to Guangzhou to host a peasant movement workshop. He passed through Changsha , written when revisiting Orange Island. At that time, facing the beautiful and moving natural autumn scenery on the Xiangjiang River, the author recalled the revolutionary situation at that time and wrote this poem.
2. Appreciation
Mao Zedong’s poetry is good at integrating natural beauty and social beauty, and expresses the content of social beauty through lifelike and vivid artistic images of natural beauty. Through the description of the autumn scenery of Changsha and the memory of the revolutionary struggle life in his youth, this poem expresses the spirit of optimism about the future of the Chinese nation and the lofty ambition to take world affairs as his own responsibility.
The whole poem raises the question of "who is in charge of the ups and downs" through the description of the autumn scenery of Changsha and the memories of the revolutionary struggle life in his youth, and expresses the heroic and fearless revolution of the poet and his comrades in order to transform old China. The spirit, ambition and lofty sentiments implicitly give the answer to "who is in charge of the ups and downs": those who control the fate of the country are the revolutionary youth who take the world as their own responsibility, despise the reactionary rulers, and dare to transform the old world.
