1. "Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei"
Mao Zedong
Wind and rain send spring home, and flying snow welcomes it. There are already hundreds of feet of ice on the cliff, but there are still beautiful flowers and branches.
Qiao doesn’t fight for spring, she only repays it. When the mountain flowers were in full bloom, she smiled among the bushes.
The pretty and gorgeous plum blossoms are blooming, proudly facing the wind and snow.
Although the plum blossoms are pretty and blooming, they do not compete with anyone for the splendor of spring. They only forecast the message of spring to all the flowers. When the mountains and fields are covered with colorful flowers, plum blossoms smile among the fragrant flowers.
2. "Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei"
Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty
Beside the broken bridge outside the post office, it is lonely and ownerless. It is already dusk and I am sad alone, and it is even more windy and rainy.
I have no intention of fighting for spring, and I will let everyone be jealous. It fell into mud and was crushed into dust, but only the fragrance remained the same.
Translation:
The lonely and ownerless plum blossoms bloom beside the broken bridge outside the post house. It was sunset and dusk, and she was feeling sad and sad alone. Waves of miserable wind and rain kept beating on her body.
She did not want to occupy Chunfang at all, and allowed Baihua Qunyan to slander her out of jealousy. Even if she falls to the ground piece by piece, and her body is crushed into dust, her fragrance will remain in the world forever.
3. Ode to the Plum Blossoms
The Zuohe River
The clouds bloom in the cold field, and the flowers blossom without relying on the east wind.
Victory over ice and snow, and winning peaches and apricots to the end of the world.
Translation:
In the season when thousands of trees are withering, plum blossoms are lonely in the cold wilderness, acting as beautiful clouds; Will and pride bloom on their own without relying on the east wind to bring warmth.
As time goes by, the plum blossom has defeated the wind, rain, ice and frost, and is fighting the final battle with the snow;
It is not pursuing its own fame and fortune, but to attract peaches and apricots. Waiting for the flowers to bloom in spring, China will be beautiful.
Appreciation
By shaping the beautiful and persevering image of plum blossoms, this word expresses the bravery, humility and uprightness of the Chinese nation and the Chinese Communists, who despise all kinds of things. The difficult feelings inspire the whole party and the people across the country to adhere to the truth of Marxism, fight unrelentingly against revisionism and all reactionary forces, and strengthen the confidence that the ideal communist society will inevitably be realized.
This poem borrows the original tune and title of Lu You, but the artistic conception reflected in the whole poem is completely different. Therefore, the author said: "Read Lu You's poem about praising plum blossoms, and use it contrary to its meaning." The small preface before the poem shows that this poem is about reverse thinking and making a reverse argument. Mao Zedong fully affirmed the patriotic theme of Lu You's poem about plum blossoms. "Opposite its meaning" mainly means to oppose sadness and pessimism, which means positive, optimistic and enterprising revolutionary feelings; to oppose loneliness and no way out, it means the fighting spirit of daring to fight and dare to win; to oppose self-admiration and personal struggle, it means Mao Zedong once said in a letter: "A recent poem about plum blossoms is anti-revisionist." This shows the subjective intention of creating this poem. .
