What are the characteristics of Chairman Mao's poems? What's your favoriate song?
Mao Zedong's poetry is characterized by great boldness of vision. Rooted in his imperial thoughts. Judging from the fifty Selected Poems of Chairman Mao published by People's Literature Publishing House, the development of emperor thought is very clear. 1925, I wrote "Changsha Qinyuan Spring", which has the ambition to compete with the Central Plains. "Ask the boundless earth who cares about ups and downs", and the subtext is: "I should care about the earth. From 1928 to 1933, most of the works are about war life and battlefield scenery, with the tone of a commander-in-chief who conquered the world. These poems are all big words and slogans, far from artistic conception. For example, I Stop, More Unity, The Wind Blows the Red Flag over the Pass, The Enthusiasm of Millions of Workers and Peasants, Arousing the Unity of Millions of Workers and Peasants, The Red Flag is Picturesque by the Wind, The Red Flag Leaps Over the Tingjiang River, A Thousand Troops Sweeps Like a Roll of Seats, and so on. The word "Heavenly Soldiers" was used twice: "Heavenly Soldiers were greedy in June" and "Heavenly Soldiers were furious and went up into the sky". The heavenly soldiers are the soldiers of the Jade Emperor, or the soldiers of the real prince. They are used to express the Red Army, and they are completely fighting for the master of the world. No wonder Lu Xun said it was "the poem of the mountain king" "1935 I wrote" Niannujiao Kunlun ",which is already an emperor's mentality: leaning on the sky to draw a sword and wanting to cut Kunlun Mountain to give it away. The tone is too loud for others to learn. 1936' s famous song "Chun Xue in the Garden" is even more imperial. And pretend to be better than all the kings before. 1949 "Seven Laws", the PLA occupied Nanjing, indicating that the country is basically in its own hands, and it is time for the enemy to pursue it. 1950' s Huanxisha and Liu Yazi fully showed the joy of the founding emperor. But the meaning of "500 million people are not reunited" is not clear. Does it mean that the civil war in the country has not been unified, or that 500 million people are separated? Actually, it's for rhyme I just want to say that the old society was not good, so I can barely make a sentence, whatever readers think. 1956, "water singing, swimming" wrote the grand plan of the founding emperor. 1956 The poem "Tune the tune and focus on Jinggangshan" reveals an interesting idea, saying that "you can spend nine days fishing for the bright moon, but you can go down to the five oceans to catch turtles. "Nine days is a ready-made allusion, and the five oceans were written by Du Fu. Obviously, there are only four oceans, and the Antarctic Ocean is Antarctica. I prefer the word "five" to "four oceans". You don't know that "Nine Days" is against "Five Seas", and the author is the one revered by Jiuwuli. 1956 The Bird Question and Answer went further, and the author claimed to be the leader of the world revolution. But the words "how can I get it", "have food" and "don't have to * *" are really indecent, much like the tone of a rogue emperor like Liu Bang. As far as skills and techniques are concerned, Mao Zedong's poetry level is not very high. The published works are uneven, and some of them are not like his hands at all. For example, 1927' s Xijiang Moon, Autumn Harvest Begins: "The army is called the workers' and peasants' revolution, and the flag is a sickle and an axe. It will not stop near Kuanglu, but go straight to Xiaoxiang. Landlords are tyrannical and all peasants are enemies. During the autumn harvest, dark clouds are gathering and violence is like thunder. "This word is only the primary level, and the second sentence of Shangque is almost completely wrong. The last sentence of Shangque must rhyme according to the word spectrum. Routine is the rhyme of the same voice, which is unconventional and has lost its charm. Mao Zedong's favorite adjectives are: vastness, vastness, recklessness and profundity. Explain that he always thinks about the world, mountains and rivers, and rivers and lakes with the feeling of being the master of the world; Describe the number, often thousands, hundreds, ten thousand, strong tone, people feel verve. On the other hand, language is monotonous and poor. Some of them are misused. For example, the song "Changsha Qinyuanchun" is full of excitement, victorious, eagle hitting the sky, diving into the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost fighting for freedom. Why "melancholy"? The word "vastness" refers to the usage of two other places: "Wan Li is frosted on the vast river" and "my dream", both of which mean loneliness and emptiness. (In addition, there is a note in the anthology: this word was written in 1925. But the historical fact is that Mao went to Guangzhou in August of that year. Changsha before August was by no means a "cold autumn" or a "frosty day", not to mention "the mountains were all red and the forests were all dyed". Some people say that this word is a combination of Mao and other friends before, so the meaning is not consistent. But even if it is a joint sentence, "I am disappointed, ask the vast earth, who is in charge of ups and downs?" "Three sentences must also be out of Mao, because he likes to use the words" broad "and" broad ". He didn't take into account the previous article, which only shows that the level is not high. ) Mao is a metrical poem, and the antithesis is not very exciting. There are only a few examples, such as "Seeing off the God of plague" and "The Long March". For example, "You should be brave enough to chase the poor bandits, but you should not learn from the overlord" and "The golden monkey makes a thousand moves, and Yuyu clarifies Wan Li's feelings". Others, such as: "returning to my motherland 31 years ago, reading the Han chapter when the flowers fall, complaining more to prevent heartburn, and watching the scenery", are not neat. Thirty-one years, complaining about the scenery and preventing heartburn, it is very reluctant to see the scenery. There are other sentences, such as "the sky is rolling and the cold current is rushing, the earth is slightly warm" and "the bamboos shed a thousand tears and the flowers are covered with heavy clothes". Although the literal confrontation is acceptable, the meaning is not very good. There is a cold current at high altitude and there is usually no warm wind on the ground; Since Xia Hong is blooming, how can it be like a hundred heavy clothes? "How many things, don't worry, heaven and earth turn, time is pressing. Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. " Six sentences, 21 words, only one point: do things to buy time. Shang Xun: "Little Atlas, some flies hit the wall, humming, screaming and sobbing." Five sentences only show that the flies on the earth moan. Neither concise nor subtle. Su Dongpo once criticized Qin Guan and said, "A dozen words only make one person go downstairs." If he saw the word Mao Zedong, what would he say? Another characteristic of Mao Zedong is that he likes to use numbers. Of the 43 selected works, only 5 do not contain figures. There are as many as seven sentences beginning with the word "one". They are: once a year, the autumn wind is strong; When a rooster sings, the world becomes white; Not a single piece of Wang Yang was seen; The wave of sadness and joy disappeared; A mountain flies along the river; A storm rises from the earth; And read an article, the snow fell. There are many other six-sentence, five-sentence and four-sentence words that begin with the word "one". In addition, the seven-character quatrains from "two" to "ten, hundred, thousand and ten thousand" are all except "eight", and some are more than one sentence. For example, "Five-state Rebellion, the trend of thunder", "Five Ridges Swing, Blue Waves Ripping", "Five Emperors are the saints of Huang San" and so on. There are many figures between sentences, such as "80,000 Li", "Thousand Rivers", "Nine Schools", "Three Rivers", "Wan Li Snow", "Wan Li Frost", "Wan Li Mourning", "Thousand Li Snow" and "Hundred Li Ice" and so on. This feature is probably related to his usual thinking and speaking habits. The ethos of telling things with numbers advocated by him has become a feature of "Party culture". When a master writes a poem, he will avoid overlapping words except overlapping words and parallelism. But Mao Zedong's works are very careless. For example, his two favorite songs, Qinyuanchun, contain many heavy words. ? Changsha? Among them, there are three rivers and thousands of valleys, and two mountains and rivers flow for years. ? Snow? There are three "winds", two "big", "mountain", "look", "sky" and "outside" In addition, "Look inside and outside the Great Wall" and "Look at plain clothes wrapped in red" are not heavy words, but they are both "introductory words" with the same meaning, which is also a gap. In short, it is still not enough. People who say that Mao Zedong's poetry is "the highest realm" are: First, some scholars who know poetry are too frightened to make a statement against their will; Second, a cynical layman who doesn't understand poetry at all, has lived in a false and empty language environment for a long time, and when he sees rhyming slogans, he thinks it is the highest realm of poetry. 1On September 9th, 978, People's Daily published a report claiming that Mao Zedong's poem "Seven Laws in Memory of Comrade Luo Ronghuan" written in February 1963 seemed to criticize Lin Biao. However, 1963 Lin Biao was still the Minister of National Defense, and it was time to "hold high and walk low" Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong couldn't have written such a poem. If this poem was really written by Mao, it should have been written after September 13th and before his death. Published on the anniversary of Mao Zedong's death in 1978, the purpose may be the same as publishing a letter to Jiang Qing: to show that great leaders have insight into everything. In other words, someone is simply pretending and forging. This poem does not express feelings for the dead, and its style is not high, let alone its skill. Among Mao's ci poems, I think there are two better ones: Qin, Die, Answer, Divine Operator, followed by Bodhisattva Xia, Yellow Crane Tower, Caisang Zi, Chongyang, E, Loushanguan, Niannujiao, Kunlun and Langtaosha. In the Seven Laws, "Long March", "Send away the God of plague" and "The People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing" are all right. In the field of ci poetry, they can be a family, relying on the advantage of "writing by people" and are not easily forgotten. I'm afraid other works with little appreciation value can hardly be circulated as "literary works" and can only remain in Mao Zedong's historical biography. Of course, people have different choices when appreciating poetry. However, there is no doubt that Mao Zedong's poems are not up to standard in every capital.
