1. Mao Zedong thinks that classical poetry and new poetry have their own disadvantages, and clearly wants to develop China's poetry on the basis of folk songs and classics.
China's classical poetry is an important carrier of chinese heritage, a treasure in world literature, and the longest-circulating style. However, after modern times, classical poetry gradually became rigid, full of cliches and moans prevailed. After the May 4th New Culture Movement, the New Poetry Revolution came into being. However, the development of new poetry is overkill, completely denying the fine tradition of classical poetry, and it seems that new poetry is incompatible with old poetry.
Secondly, Mao Zedong's poems have inherited the fine tradition of "expressing ambition with poetry" and expressed the great ambition of the producer of * * * to "transform China and transform the world".
1945 In September, during the negotiations in Chongqing, the poet Xu Chi asked Mao Zedong how to write poems and asked him to write an inscription. Mao Zedong happily wrote three big characters: "Poetry expresses ambition." 1957 When Poetry Magazine was first published, the editorial department asked Mao Zedong to write an inscription, and his inscription was "Poetry Expressing Aspiration". "Poetry Expressing Aspiration" comes from Historical Records and Biographies of Huo Zhi, which is the originator of China's poetics. Poetry works should express the poet's mind, express the poet's feelings, will, ideals and ambitions, and inspire people. Mao Zedong not only always advocated expressing ambition with poetry, but also practiced it. Wait a minute.
Character evaluation:
Although Mao Zedong made serious mistakes in his later years, as far as his life is concerned, his contribution to the China Revolution is indisputable, far greater than his mistakes. His contribution is the first, and his mistakes are the second. He is still revered by the people of China.
Five years after his death, the China * * * Production Party made a comprehensive evaluation of all his revolutionary activities and revolutionary thoughts in the form of a resolution of the Central Committee. As the development of Marxism in China, Mao Zedong Thought is still the guiding ideology of our party.
