Poets use things to express their ambitions, and write indomitable plum blossoms with fresh sentiment, which means that life is bumpy but indomitable, reaching the realm of unity of things and me. Delicate and meaningful brushwork is the swan song of Yongmei's ci.
2. Mao Zedong's "Yongmei" portrayed plum blossoms beautifully and tenaciously, expressing positive and optimistic revolutionary feelings.
The whole word is conceived by reverse thinking, combined with symbolism, personification, contrast, metaphor and exaggeration, which is implicit and intriguing to read.

1. The creative background of Lu You's Yongmei;
Lu You loved plum blossom all his life and regarded it as the spiritual carrier of praise. In his works, plum blossom has become a symbol of unyielding image. It is not difficult to understand Lu You's life, and the plum blossom in his ci is the portrayal of the author himself. Lu You's life is full of ups and downs. He was born in the seventh year of Xuanhe (1 125), when the Northern Song Dynasty was teetering and the Jin people were waiting for him.
In the 23rd year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong (1 153), Lu You went to Lin 'an to take the Jinshi examination, and was awarded the first prize for his outstanding talent. However, Qin Gui's grandson was ranked behind Lu You, which angered Qin Gui. He actually exempted the Ministry of Education examination in the second year. It was not until Qin Gui's death that Lu Youfang began to enter the official career. After that, Lu You's career was not smooth sailing and experienced ups and downs.
Although Lu You's patriotic enthusiasm has been hit hard, his patriotism has never wavered. This is fully reflected in his poems. It is not difficult to understand that his Yongmei is Mei Jizhi's masterpiece. Plum blossoms, which are "smashed into mud and ground into ashes, have only one fragrance", are an image portrayal of the poet's unremitting struggle against evil forces and his unswerving character for his ideals throughout his life.
2. The creative background of Mao Zedong's Yongmei:
This poem was written in 196 1 and first published in1963+Poems of Chairman Mao published by People's Literature Publishing House in February. 19611February, Mao Zedong planned the upcoming enlarged working meeting of the Central Committee in Guangzhou. At that time, the international environment facing China was the blockade of Europe and the United States, and the Soviet Union turned its face; The domestic environment we are facing is economic difficulties and disasters.
Faced with difficulties and pressure, Mao Zedong wanted to show party member's attitude and fighting spirit, so he planned to write a word. He read Lu You's Yongmei, and thought his handwriting was good. But what is depressing is that he can only borrow its form, not its meaning, so he wants to read Yongmei's ci which is different from Lu You's ci style.
The main idea of this word is to encourage everyone to despise difficulties and dare to overcome them. Mao Zedong borrowed the original tune of Lu You in his first poem, but the artistic conception embodied in the whole poem is completely different, so the author said, "Reading the word Yongmei by Lu You is just the opposite of what it means."
