Among Chairman Mao's poems, "Qinyuan Spring" can be described as unique, the recognition rate of the Chinese people is extremely high, many people can recite it skillfully, and they are familiar with the stories related to it.
The name of the word "Qinyuan Spring" comes from an ancient story: "Qinyuan" refers to the princess's garden, the royal garden built by the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty for his daughter Princess Qinshui. Later, Princess Qinshui's uncle, Empress Dou's brother Dou Xian, was bullied and robbed the garden, and the impact was very bad, "Posterity wrote poems to chant its deeds, hence the name of this tune."
However, the old bottle of new wine, Chairman Mao's two "Qinyuan Spring" ("Qinyuan Spring Changsha" and "Qinyuan Spring Snow") have absolutely no personal grudges, no literati sour rot, no pretense, no tactful pity, but full of family and country feelings, single-mindedly for the country and the people, can be called no one who has never come after the ancients...
The poet is arrogant and ambitious, pointing directly to heaven and earth, counting heroes over and over again, saying, "Ask who is the lord of the vast earth?" "The earthquake is ancient and modern, resounding throughout the heavens, and it can be called a heavenly question." There is also the sentence "Count the popular characters, and look at this dynasty!" "How heroic, to fight for freedom for China, to seek the welfare of the people of our country, and to give up who I am?" It's a bloodthirsty read.
This phrase "counting the popular figures" does not expose the idea of the emperor and the general as Jiang Ren said, in fact, Chairman Mao issued a generous and heroic oath on behalf of thousands of people, and the popular figure refers to the proletariat.
Written in 1925, "Qinyuan Chun Changsha" is a summary of Chairman Mao's life in his youth. By this time Chairman Mao had become one of the early leaders of the Communist Party of China, 32 years old, talented, full of ambition, full of confidence in the prospects of the revolution.
From the words between the lines, we can vaguely see the strong figure of Chairman Mao and his classmates in the Hunan First Division studying and striving for progress, and we can vaguely see that he, together with Comrades Xiao Yu, Cai Hesen, and other comrades, went deep among the workers and peasants to run education, visited the sick and suffering, understood society, actively carried out social revolutionary activities, founded the Xiangjiang Review, and established the "New People's Society" ... He founded the Hunan Communist Group and participated in the First National Congress of the Party the following year.
At the time of the creation of "Qinyuan Chun Changsha", shortly after Chairman Mao attended the Fourth Party Congress, he went to Guangzhou to preside over the peasant movement lectures, passing through Changsha, revisiting his hometown, full of passion...
This poem is even more the text of Chairman Mao's lifelong struggle, and he sounded the clarion call of march with unparalleled heroic passion -- to hit the water in the middle of the stream, and the wave to suppress the flying boat!
We know that for Chairman Mao, "hitting the water in the middle of the stream" means unremitting struggle and indomitable fighting spirit. In his "Seven Sentences and Fragments" written in the summer of 1917, he said: "Confident life for two hundred years will be three thousand miles when the water hits." In the sinister old China, he chose to face the dripping blood, face the wind and split the waves, and show his great ambition with the heroism of "water hitting three thousand miles".
Chairman Mao continued to swim the Yangtze River until his old age, as evidenced by this:
"Only then did he drink Changsha water and eat Wuchang fish." Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River crossed, extremely eye Chu Tianshu. No matter the wind and waves, it is better to walk idly, and today you will be more than enough..." ("Water Tune Song Head Swimming")
"Striking water in the middle of the stream" shows Chairman Mao's desire for struggle and his belief in revolution.
In contrast, "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" is a song that has been sung for eternity and is a declaration of the victory of the Communists.
The word was written in February 1936, Chairman Mao led the Red Army through the Long March Road, eastward to resist Japan, to Yuanjiagou near Gaojie Village in Qingjian County, Shaanxi Province, when heavy snow fell in the sky, and the splendid mountains and rivers were wrapped in silver...
As evidenced by Chairman Mao's appendix when he gave Liu Yazi a message: "When I first went to northern Shaanxi to see the heavy snow, I filled in a poem that seemed to be slightly closer to Mr. Liu's words, and the record was submitted for correction. ”
The style of this poem is bold, the air swallows mountains and rivers, the artistic conception is lofty, the ancient and modern are shaken, the author's vast mind, extraordinary qi, the image of the great shore pointing out the rivers and mountains and the majestic momentum of the huge waves and waves jump on the paper, which makes people feel the five inners.
It's just that people in different camps, people with different characters, hearts, and patterns, will read the opposite taste.
In 1945, during the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communists, Liu Yazi asked Chairman Mao for a poem called "The Long March", which Chairman Mao gave him. Liu Yazi was directly shocked, and immediately embarrassed to write a song and words himself, and at the end he also followed the chairman's artistic conception: "Jun and I, we must go to heaven and earth and grasp this dynasty." ”
His evaluation of this poem is also quite high: "After reading, I sighed that I was the first to do it since China had a word, although Su and Xin Yu failed to resist the hand, but yu Zihu? "Qinyuan Spring" is a song, Yu Tui is a song for thousands of years, although Dongpo and You'an, they are still stunned, not to mention the Southern Tang Xiaoling and the Southern Song Dynasty. ”
A song that has never been sung in ancient times!
When Wu Zuguang published this poem, he also added a passage of words, and what he could perceive was also "the greatness of courage".
As soon as this poem was published in Chongqing, it immediately caused a sensation in the mountain city, and the harmonists were like clouds, and the four seas competed for songs. Not only that, but this poem also triggered a public opinion war, in which the Kuomintang and progressives launched a "polemic" in the form of harmony words and writings, which was very lively and extraordinary, and the scenery was different.
A poem by a great man set off the storm of the times and became a good story in history.
At that time, Jiang Mou was also shocked, and he asked Chen Bray: "Is this song really good?" ”
Chen Brei replied truthfully: "The momentum is magnificent, the air swallows mountains and rivers, and it can be called the best of the world." ”
Jiang displeased: "I see that he is ambitious, has imperial thoughts, and wants to go backwards." You quickly organize a group of people to write articles in the name of commenting on Mao Zedong's poetry, criticizing his 'imperial thought', and let the people of the whole country know that he did not come to Chongqing for peace talks, but to claim the title of emperor. ”
As a result, newspapers and periodicals successively published dozens of articles attacking "Qinyuan Spring and Snow", many of which directly attacked the so-called "imperial thought". Of course, there are also many imitation words.
Sun Sunquan, principal of the Beiping Girls' School, Wang Xinming, chief writer of the Central Daily, and Yi Junzuo, a scholar of military and political circles, all went into battle shirtless and worked hard. Wang ridiculed our side as a "hero of reckless grass" and ordered that "the cliff of Lema be deliberately carved" and "the butcher's knife should be put down and become a Buddha in this dynasty"; Yi Junzuo was known as "Three Xiang Talents", and used words to hide the killing machine. "Kill the official Huang Chao, the pit soldiers are white, how many times have you seen the demon descending the higher the Dao?" We have compared ourselves to the yellow nest and tried to impose the crime of breaching peace on our heads. Look at this sentence: "A thought is uneven, a thousand autumn sins, qingshi selfless and meticulous carving."
Similar harmony words, supported by the criticism, Guo Moruo Liu Yazi and other progressive people also criticized, even Chen Yi, who was far away on the battlefield, could not resist anger and even wrote three japanese words to publish.
The two factions of "Qinyuan Spring" fight in the delicate Chinese land of the times, and it is clear at a glance which is right and wrong. Chairman Mao, who was far away in Yan'an, only smiled slightly at this and replied: "The crows are noisy and the cicadas are noisy, and they can spray rice."
Great people are bold and consistent.
Two "Qinyuan Spring", two eras, two peaks. When he created "Qinyuan Spring and Changsha", Chairman Mao was full of style and high morale... As one of the young leaders of the young party, he blew the clarion call of battle...
Chairman Mao was 43 years old when "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" was written, and at this time, he was already the savior in the hearts of the people and the leader of the Chinese revolution... Under the guidance of a wise helmsman, China's ship, which has suffered many disasters and difficulties, is bypassing the reef and running toward victory!
This is also the reason why Chairman Mao gave Liu Yazi the word: he once wrote a letter encouraging Liu Yazi that "the future is bright, and the road is tortuous... As long as we have the conviction of victory, the victory of the revolution is only a matter of time."
Faced with the fate of the nation and the prospects of the revolution, Chairman Mao issued a declaration of victory.
Two "Qinyuan Spring", two monuments of the epoch-making era!
