The whole poem consists of four parts. The first section depicts the land of vast expanse, a long and heavy history, a poor and humiliating nation through dense images, and expresses the poet's love for the motherland and the nation.
The second and third sections focus on a farmer who, like his ancestors, lived and multiplied in this land full of hardships and vicissitudes, worked silently, shouldered hopes and disappointments, and suffered countless pains and disasters. When the anti-Japanese bonfire ignited, the enthusiasm of young people infected him, and the idea of saving the country and protecting the family inspired him. He resolutely "put down the ancient hoe" and resolutely plunged into the torrent of the war of resistance. Obviously, the "peasant" is an image carefully set by the poet and a symbol of the awakened working people.
The last section is the re-expression of feelings, which is a deeper and wider praise to a nation that has stood up. At the end of the poem, the poet repeated the chapter with two words' However, a nation has stood up'. This is the sound of drums and the deafening sound of an ancient nation standing in the east of the world again. There are many images and rich emotions in the poems, which well shows the characteristics of Mu Dan's poems, such as "complex thinking and linear emotions".
The whole poem is large in scale and full of passion. Although it reveals a deep and sad mood, it is a deep love that runs through the whole article, which is the author's firm belief that "a nation has risen." The author sees the flash of the times and the turning point of the nation from the "people who are staggering in shame". The poet pinned his hopes on the peasants who risked their lives to protect their country and defend their country. When the war broke the peace in the countryside, farmers listened to the call of the times and embarked on the road of war. He is a person and a representative of a group of people, even symbolizing the whole Chinese nation.
In terms of poetic language, this poem gives full play to the flexibility of Chinese and is good at conveying complex poetry by using polysemy, complex sentence patterns and repeated singing. At the same time, modern Chinese related words are used from time to time to reveal the logical relationship between abstract words and skipping sentences and create a "style between spoken and written language". The moving part of Mu Dan's masterpiece is the bloody part of this song. Originally, unrestrained grief often degenerated into sentimentality, which was detrimental to heroic spirit, but Mu Dan did not. At the end of each poem, he suppressed the poem with the grand voice of "a nation has risen", making it strong in sorrow and powerful in pain. Everyone can sing hymns, but not many people can't sing bloody hymns.
