When you were in school, you must have learned two poems with the same title - "Fortune Operator-Yongmei", one of which was written by the Song Dynasty poet Lu You, and the other was written by Mao Zedong. Lu You is a famous patriotic poet in the Song Dynasty, and I have read many of his works, which are indeed very good. Compared with Mao's poems and Lu poems, who is better.
Lu You was born in a family of eunuchs, but his life was in troubled times. He was born at a time when the Jin army invaded south. So most of the Lu poems I read are worried about the country and the people, and the tone of sentimentality and sadness. The article "Fortune Operator-Yongmei" even rendered his mentality to the peak. said that it was Yongmei, but in fact, it was to write about herself lyrically.
Outside the post on the side of the broken bridge, lonely and ownerless, it is already dusk and alone, and there is more wind and rain. has no intention of fighting for spring, a group of people are jealous, scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant. A plum blossom, outside the post station and on the edge of the broken bridge, blooms alone, and no one appreciates it. It was already dusk, but it was alone and sorrowful, and there was another storm coming. Plum blossom has no intention of competing with Qunfang, but suffers from Qunfang's jealousy. However, even if the plum blossom withers and is crushed to dust, its fragrance remains the same. This poem, which uses objects to metaphorize love, not only shows the author's lonely and bitter state of mind, but also shows his noble temperament of preferring jade to be broken rather than complete.
After reading it, I will look at Mao Zedong's "Fortune Operator-Yongmei", which is also a metaphor for love. But this spirit, how can the word "strong" be obtained. The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring, which is already a cliff with a hundred feet of ice, and there are still flowers and branches. Pretty does not compete for spring, only reports the spring, and when the mountains are full of flowers, it laughs in the bushes. The wind and rain send spring away, and the snow ushers in spring again. Although it is a cold winter with steep cliffs and hundreds of feet of cold ice, there is still a plum tree, which is unique in the cold. Plum blossoms are not to monopolize spring, but to tell everyone that spring is coming, and when the flowers are blooming, plum blossoms hide alone in the flowers and snicker.
Look at Mao's spirit. Spring refers to a beautiful society, that is, a socialist society, and plum blossoms are Mao Zedong and the revolutionary army led by him. Although the wind and rain will temporarily break the beautiful society, the beautiful society will still come, which is an unbreakable reincarnation. Even though the current situation is grim, our revolutionary army is still like a plum blossom, stubbornly blooming and fighting. We are not fighting to monopolize this society, but to allow our society to flourish and a hundred schools of thought to contend. When that day comes, our revolutionary army will retreat into the background, quietly admiring this beautiful new society, and having fun for ourselves.
Look at Mao Shi's spirit. When the country was facing ups and downs, they stepped forward, and when the country was prosperous, they went to hide their merits and fame. This kind of positive and optimistic spirit of active struggle is not comparable to Lu You's negative and pessimistic mentality.
Why the revolutionary army led by Mao Zedong was able to achieve victory is all in this poem. If he had written poems of the same level as Lu You, would the Chinese Revolution have succeeded?
