"Qinyuanchun·Changsha"
Author Mao Zedong? Modern dynasty
In the cold autumn of independence, the Xiangjiang River goes north to the head of Orange Island.
Look at the mountains covered with red, and the forests all dyed;
The river is full of green, and hundreds of boats are vying for 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 in charge of the ups and downs?
I brought hundreds of couples on this trip to recall the glorious past.
The boy who was my classmate was in his prime;
The scholar was angry and scolded 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 boat?
Vernacular 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 woods seem to have been 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; we are full of ambition, unrestrained and powerful. Commenting on national affairs and writing these articles that stirred up the turmoil and promoted the Qing Dynasty, 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?
