One: Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei, December 1961
Wind and rain send spring home, and flying snow welcomes spring. The cliff is already covered with hundreds of feet of ice, 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.
Appreciation of the work:
There is a quotation before Mao Zedong's poem: "Read Lu You's poem about praising plum blossoms, and use it contrary to its meaning." It shows the creative opportunity. "Wind and rain send spring back, and flying snow welcomes spring." The beginning of the poem uses a strong pen to soar into the clouds, showing a clearly different mind and courage from Lu You. "Wind, rain" and "flying snow" point out the changes of the four seasons and the replacement of time. "Spring Return" and "Spring Arrival" focus on the movement of things, which not only creates a sense of flow of time for the whole article, but also provides a sense of flow for the following. Writing Plum in the Snow has gone through many vicissitudes of preparation, with straight words and high momentum.
The next sentence, "The cliff is already covered with hundreds of feet of ice," describes the harsh living environment of plum blossoms in the cold winter. But in the formidable environment and sinister atmosphere, there are still "flowers and flowers." "Cliff" shows that the environment is so dangerous, "Baizhang of ice" shows that the cold power is so fierce, and the plum blossoms are blooming beautifully on this steep cliff with hundreds of feet of ice. The word "Qiao" not only depicts the beauty of the plum blossoms The shape further reflects the proud and straight plum blossoms and the heroic spirit among the flowers. The plum blossoms described by the author are full of pride. Hard ice cannot damage their bones, flying snow cannot hide their beauty, and dangerous situations cannot destroy their aspirations. This is similar to the image of plum blossoms written by Lu You as "lonely blooming without an owner" and "sorrowful alone at dusk". A sharp contrast.
Based on the background of Mao Zedong’s writing of this poem, the author’s portrayal of the image of plum blossoms has profound political implications. At that time, China suffered three years of natural disasters. The leaders of the former Soviet Union provoked a Sino-Soviet debate and exerted political, economic, and military pressure on China. It suffered from internal and external troubles, and the Soviet Union suffered severe consequences. test. "It's already a cliff with hundreds of feet of ice" is a symbol of the political environment at that time. As Mao Zedong, the leader of the Communist Party of China, this poem was originally written by Tomei to express his determination to show the determination of the Chinese Communists to never give in in the dangerous environment and to bravely meet the challenges until they achieve the final victory. victory. Although "the cliff is already covered with hundreds of feet of ice", "there are still beautiful flowers and branches" - the Communist Party of China is the plum blossom that stands proud of the frost and snow. It's that pretty "flower branch".
Year after year, wind and rain send spring away, but heavy snow in the sky welcomes spring back. Even if there are hundreds of feet of ice on the county cliffs, facing such a grand and cold winter scene, the plum blossoms still stand alone and stand proudly. Of course, poets also follow ancient teachings, express their ambitions with poems, and also express their ambitions through plum blossoms. At this critical moment when "the sky is rolling high and the cold current is rushing" (i.e., China's three years of natural disasters and the fierce anti-imperialist and anti-revisionist struggles at that time), the poet encouraged himself and comforted others with the plum blossoms blooming in the middle of winter. We should learn from plum blossoms and bravely face challenges to show off our beauty in such dangerous situations. The poet uses the word "Qiao" very well. The image of plum blossoms that have never appeared appears in this word. This is the image of a happy person, a confident person, and a winner. Of course, this is not only the image of plum blossoms in the poet's eyes, but also the image of the poet himself and the Chinese Communists. This "Qiao" contains so many profound meanings, being proactive and never giving in.
In the next film, the author compares plum blossoms to the messengers of spring and further warmly praises them. The British poet Shelley sang in "Ode to the West Wind": "The severe winter has come, can spring be far away?" The plum blossoms blooming in the severe winter are the earliest messengers of spring. , this selfless and desireless character makes the image of plum blossoms fuller.
Finally, the author concludes with "When the mountain flowers bloom, she laughs in the bushes", pushing the realm of the poem to a higher level. Spring has arrived, the world is filled with soft and warm atmosphere, and the mountain flowers on the cliff are finally blooming and gorgeous. Plum blossoms usher in the brilliant spring with their sincerity. It turns out that the plum blossoms stand out and stand tall and tall without any jealousy, but they are happy and peaceful hidden in the brilliant spring scenery. The three words "Laughing in the Cluster" vividly express the joy of plum blossoms and mountain flowers enjoying the spring scenery. Especially the word "Laughing" expresses the charm of plum blossoms - both humble and refined, yet open-minded and generous. The spiritual style greatly sublimates the artistic realm of Ci. In Lu You's original poem, plum blossoms are "jealous of the crowd" and are in opposition to other flowers. They claim to be aloof because of their "scent as before", which reflects his mood of self-admiration and isolation from others. The end of the word highlights the plum blossom's "laughing in the bush" demeanor. From a self-figurative point of view, it contains the externalization of his personality and interests; further extended, it shows that the Communists are fighting at the forefront, Enjoy the noble virtues and devotion behind you.
This poem about plum blossoms has a delicate and harmonious structure. When creating the image of plum blossoms, the first part focuses on the background and uses the background to contrast the object, so that the plum blossoms have a strong and challenging spirit; the second part focuses on the object with heavy ink and color. , highlighting the plum blossom's willingness to hide among the flowers, giving the plum blossom a bright and cheerful character to a desireless character. The word "Qiao" becomes a bridge of transition, making the realm of the word natural.
Two: Divination Suanzi Yong Mei
Author: Lu You
Beside the broken bridge outside the post, it is lonely and ownerless. It is already dusk and I am sad alone, and it is even more windy and rainy.
There is no intention of struggling for spring, and once everyone is jealous. It fell into mud and was crushed into dust, but only the fragrance remained the same.
Translation:
Outside the post pavilion, near the broken bridge, flowers bloomed lonely and lonely, but no one made the decision. Whenever the sun sets in the west, there will always be a feeling of loneliness in my heart, especially when it is windy and raining.
I don’t want to spend all my time fighting for beauty, and I just want to let the flowers be jealous. Fallen and withered, turned into mud and crushed into dust, only the fragrance remains the same.
Brief Analysis
Lu You loves plum blossoms because it symbolizes integrity. His poem "Falling Plum Blossoms" said: "The snow blows in the wind and becomes more awe-inspiring, and the integrity of the flowers is the strongest. When the time comes, they will drift away, and I will beg for mercy from the East King." When the plum blossoms bloom, they are not afraid of the cold, but when they fall, they do not love the spring. Bright, go with an open mind. What struck Lu You's heart was the noble character of plum blossoms. He even fantasizes about "where can I transform into a hundred billion, a pair of plum blossoms and a free man" ("Plum Blossom Quatrains"), hoping to be with plum blossoms for life. This poem about plum blossoms actually uses the character of plum blossoms to express one's thoughts and feelings. Feelings about the film. The two sentences "Yiwai" say that the plum blossoms have been displaced and live in a different place; the two sentences "already" say that the plum blossoms have been damaged by wind and rain and encountered the wrong time, highlighting the misfortunes that the plum blossoms have encountered. In the next piece, "Yong Mei" went through many hardships and left with a fragrant fragrance. It is not difficult to see the reflection of the author's life experience and personality. Lu You was deposed in his early years because his patriotic remarks offended Qin Hui, and later he was removed from office because he "strongly persuaded Zhang Jun to use troops." In the peaceful environment of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was always under the taboo of the times, but his patriotic fighting spirit never faded, and even grew stronger as he grew older. This poem may have been written by him in his later years, and he expressed his unswerving patriotic stance and political integrity by chanting plum blossoms. Although there are unavoidable negative elements of self-mourning and self-injury and self-admiration, the main spirit is positive. In his poems, he expressed his feelings towards the dirty environment around him, the despicable behavior of jealousy of "women" and the various persecutions he suffered. The high degree of contempt is also admirable. The most important thing in chanting words is "neither separate nor close" and "never stick to each other", so as to convey the meaning of the object and integrate the object and myself.
This poem does not carve out the shape of plum blossoms, but focuses on absorbing its charm and using it to portray oneself. It is an excellent work of praising plum blossoms
