Mao Zedong
Look at what the northern countries have shown: a hundred miles of frozen Go; Thousands of miles of snow.
Behold! Within and without the Great Wall, the boundless land is clad in white. And up and down the Yellow River, all the endless waves are lost to sight.
The mountain dancing silver snake, originally a wax elephant, wants to compete with God.
When the weather is fine, look at the sunny market. What a charming sight!
This land is so beautiful that countless heroes bow to their knees.
Unfortunately, Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, literary talent is slightly inferior; Emperor Taizong, Song Taizu, slightly less civil servants.
Genghis Khan, the hero of the throne, only knows how to draw a bow and shoot arrows.
These characters are gone, a few heroes who can make contributions, look at today's people.
Translation:
Northland scenery, thousands of miles frozen, Wan Li snowflakes floating. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only boundless whiteness left; The Yellow River, which is wide up and down, suddenly lost its surging water potential. Mountains are like flying silver pythons, and hills on the plateau are like many white elephants running. They all want to try to compare with God. On a sunny day, it's especially nice to see red sunshine and white ice and snow complement each other.
Jiangshan is so charming that countless heroes compete for beauty. Unfortunately, the literary talents of Qin Shihuang and Liang Wudi were slightly inferior; During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Song Taizu was a little less than Sandwich. Genghis Khan, the hero of my life, only knows how to shoot an eagle with a bow. These characters are all in the past. Counting the heroes who can make contributions depends on today's people.
Appreciate:
This poem is magnificent in scenery, artistic conception, emotion and momentum. It is the most outstanding snow poem in China, with the following artistic features:
First, borrowing scenery to express feelings is meaningful. From Scenery of the Northland to Lost Flow, on the surface, it is a panoramic description of the northern part of the motherland in the middle of winter, but in fact it implies the sinister situation of China at that time. Inside and outside the Great Wall, there is no vitality. The Yellow River is covered with ice and snow, so it stops flowing, and the north of China seems to be asleep. Around 1936, there were wars inside and outside the majestic Great Wall. The Japanese army occupied Northeast China, threatened North China, and the fire of aggression was directed at Ping Jin. The mighty Yellow River will be another life-and-death struggle. The Kuomintang assembled the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Central Army, clamoring that Chiang Kai-shek, who "decided the outside world first", would kill the Central Red Army, which had moved to 25,000 miles. Standing on the top of the mountain, braving the heavy snow all over the sky, the poet has superhuman insight, dancing mountains and plains, and has heroic spirit higher than the gods, suggesting that the people's army armed with advanced Marxist thought will surely overcome all difficulties and obstacles, all reactionary forces and the revolution will finally succeed. With a flick of a finger, the clouds open and the sun rises; Between talking and laughing, the strong shackles will disappear, and the motherland under the red regime will be particularly enchanting. ?
Second, the feelings are hot and contain philosophy. The magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland have urged countless heroes to make contributions and inspired many people with lofty ideals to love their country and their people. Genghis Khan, the ancestor of Emperor Wu of the Qin Dynasty and Emperor Zongsong of the Tang Dynasty, established his own dynasty and ruled his own people. They are outstanding representatives in the feudal history of China and wrote their unique stories in the history of China. But after all, they are deeply bound by their own times and limited by their thoughts, and their political groups cannot be compared with the proletariat armed with advanced ideas. Only the red regime, where the people are the masters of the country, can truly understand the way of rejuvenating the country by the army and the people.
Third, echo before and after, forming a history of poetry. As early as his student days, Chairman Mao was determined to serve the country and tried to find ways to save the country and the people. 1925 10 month, he wrote "Qinyuanchun? Changsha issued the question of "vastness, ask the boundless earth, who is in charge of ups and downs"; 1936 February, after nearly ten years of civil war, he finally found the answer, in "Qinyuanchun? Snow made the answer that "the past is all over, counting romantic figures depends on the present". The two words have the same epigraph, similar structure, related themes and connected meanings, and they echo each other from a distance by asking and answering questions. Looking at all Chairman Mao's poems, we can easily find that the poems of great men are a history of revolution and construction of China people, and great men write history with poems. No wonder foreigners commented on him, saying that "a poet won the New China".
