At the end of 1964, Chairman Mao thought about the past and the present, and his thoughts were suddenly touched by something, and he wrote a poem with his hand, and then wrote a note for people to forward to his secretary Tian Jiaying.
In the poem, there is a sentence that "qi'er is under the wind and clouds tent, and there are many tears in front of the drum horn lamp".
The chairman's note stated that the poem was read in a book when he was young, "forgot who wrote it in he dynasty", and asked Tian Jiaying to check it.
Lao Qin interjected here, now we have to check something, just enter one or two keywords on the network, and then press the enter key, and the overwhelming answer is presented on the display. I have to say that we live in such an era, really happy.
Before the advent of the Internet, people had to look up information, one was to have sufficient knowledge reserves, and the other was to have a huge number of books to refer to, otherwise it was really difficult to move.
Although Chairman Mao forgot that the poem was "written by whomever generation and who wrote it," he was still able to write a poem that he had read by accident decades ago, which also showed that his memory was amazing.
Tian Jiaying is also a person who is full of poetry and poetry, and it is in the prime of the year, for the period of strong memory, he quickly found the answer: the poem is the Qing Dynasty poet Yan Suicheng's epic poem "Three Vertical Gang", and the chant is the story of Li Keyong and Li Cunxun's father and son in the Five Dynasties period.
Chairman Mao was ingenious in his ingenuity and skillful use of troops like gods, and he admired Li Cunxun's Battle of Sanzhigang and also felt a lot of feelings about Li Cunxun's failure to finally fulfill Li Keyong's last wish.
Li Cunxun has a nickname, named "Yazi".
As we all know, there is also a poet named "Yazi" in modern China - Liu Yazi.
Lao Qin remembered that when he was in the first grade of junior high school, the first lesson in the opening chapter of the Chinese textbook was Chairman Mao's "Huan Xi Sha and Liu Yazi".
It can be seen that Chairman Mao and Liu Yazi are a pair of poets who complement each other perfectly.
The friendship between Chairman Mao and Liu Yazi can be roughly traced back to 1926.
Liu Yazi wrote more than 7,000 poems and more than 200 words in his lifetime, and the poems are more exciting and more heroic.
He himself admired Lu You, Chen Liang, Su Shi, and Xin Shuyi, and always regarded himself as a "leader in the poetry world"; before he knew Chairman Mao, he promised himself to "overthrow the first generation of heroes and open up the hearts of all ages", and wrote poems such as "A generation of literary heroes should belong to me".
However, during the first period of Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, he worked with Chairman Mao in Guangzhou, inadvertently read Chairman Mao's poems, and immediately changed his mouth and rewrote it as "Except for Mao Gong, that is, Liu Gong, there are still remnants of the tiger and dragon."
He thought that Chairman Mao's poetry could be ranked first, and he was second.
He said to people privately: "The Xinhai Revolution has finally succeeded, but the poetry revolution has failed." ...... Mao Run's pen was indeed a divine hand that opened up the world, but unfortunately, he was worried about state affairs and had already put this prison behind his head. In this way, to close the old era and liquidate the old style poetry, maybe I am the one who should not give up! ”
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution and launched the "April 12" coup d'état. Liu Yazi openly opposed Chiang Kai-shek, so he was "wanted" and forced into exile, where he did not meet Chairman Mao for more than a decade. However, he heard that Chairman Mao led the Autumn Harvest Uprising, met with Zhu De at Jinggangshan, opened up the Jiangxi Soviet Region, and a series of earth-shaking deeds, and even more to Chairman Mao's five bodies, writing a poem saying that "100,000 troops rely on their mastery, climb the altar and look at Mao Lang."
Chairman Mao first met Liu Yazi, and because of Li Cunxun, he became fond of Liu Yazi's name "Yazi".
Regarding Liu Yazi's poems, Chairman Mao once wrote to Liu Yazi, praising them: "Mr. Liu's poems should be humbled, and he looks down on Lu You and Chen Liang. ”
It can be said that the two feel sorry for each other and respect each other.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chairman Mao flew from Yan'an to Chongqing on August 28, 1945, to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek in order to fight for domestic peace.
Liu Yazi led celebrities from Chongqing's cultural circles to visit Chairman Mao at chairman Mao's Guiyuan apartment in Chongqing, where chairman Mao was staying, and during the banquet, he occupied a poem entitled "Gifts to Mao Run's Old Friend", praising Chairman Mao for his "great courage and sincerity and ability", and also mentioned that he and Chairman Mao had "bid farewell to Yangcheng in the nineteenth autumn".
During that time, Liu Yazi was compiling the "Selected Poems of the Republic of China" and asking Chairman Mao for poems.
Chairman Mao's poetry is far more talent than the ancients, but the number of poems cannot be compared with Liu Yazi, so he had to transpose a poem he "filled in when he first came to northern Shaanxi to see heavy snow" "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" and gave it to Liu Yazi.
When Liu Yazi read this word, he could not make a sound, and after half a moment, he shouted, "This is a song that has been sung for eternity." ”
Looking back, Liu Yazi made the japanese words "Qinyuan Chun ci rhyme and Mao Run's Yongxue works", but the chant was repeated and had to be noted "not complete according to the original meaning".
Liu Yazi exhibited Chairman Mao's gift and his own words at the "Liu Poetry Painting Joint Exhibition" organized by the Sino-Soviet Cultural Association, and then sent the two words to Xinhua Daily.
Liu Yazi also wrote his comments on Chairman Mao's gift, saying that "although Dongpo and You'an are still stunned, it is even more difficult to say that the Southern Tang Dynasty xiaoling and the Southern Song Dynasty are slow words."
The Xinhua Daily was very good at creating suspense, and first published Liu Yazi's words and Liu Yazi's comments on Chairman Mao's gifts, which satisfies the appetite of readers. After that, Chongqing's "Xinmin Bao" published Chairman Mao's original words in the supplement "Western Night Tan".
Originally, Chairman Mao's WuLuo Wentao was already admired by the whole country, and he disregarded his personal life and death, went to the meeting with a single knife, and flew to Chongqing, which aroused the attention of people from all walks of life and caused a huge sensation.
Therefore, the "Xinmin Bao" published Chairman Mao's original words, people took pictures of the case and appreciated it, everyone recited it, and copied it one by one, which can really be described as a tidal wave of praise, and the paper in the mountain city is expensive.
The famous playwright Wu Zuguang commented on the Xinmin Bao, praising: "Mao Runzhi's ability to poetry ... The boldness is unattainable. ”
For a time, Chairman Mao did his best to seize the limelight of the mountain city.
It is said that Chiang Kai-shek was so full of fire that he once let Chen Bray and a large number of other "royal" literati act as his gunmen, searching his stomach and stomach, racking his brains, and concocting more than a dozen poems.
The friendship between Liu Yazi and Chairman Mao can be seen from this.
In February 1949, Liu Yazi and other democratic parties and non-party democrats were invited from Hong Kong to Beiping to prepare for the Chinese Political Consultative Conference and the establishment of a new China.
Yanako was thrilled.
Lao Qin would like to add here that Liu Yazi joined the Chinese League Association and the Guangfu Association as early as 1906, and when Sun Yat-sen was the provisional president, he also served as the secretary of the provisional presidential office.
In this way, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party respected him as the "Elder of the Revolution."
However, Liu Yazi was essentially a scholar, and after only three days as secretary of the provisional presidential office, it was difficult for him to adapt to the life of the military and government organs, so he hastily bid farewell to Sun Yat-sen, hung up his boots, and went to Shanghai to run a newspaper.
But then again, Liu Yazi has been conceited all his life, and he has always refused to admit his bookish nature in his heart. At the end of 1947, he wrote an article entitled "From the Chinese Kuomintang Democrats", which for various reasons has not been published publicly. In the article, he said conceitedly: "To be honest, I am a first-class politician in China, and Mr. Mao is not necessarily much smarter than me, let alone others." ”
Liu Yazi arrived in Beiping on March 18, and he came with the dream of "entering the cabinet to worship the face".
Chairman Mao arrived in Beiping from Xibaipo on March 25.
On the evening of March 25, Chairman Mao hosted a banquet for Liu Yazi and others at the Yishou Hall of the Summer Palace.
Liu Yazi wrote three poems impromptu and recorded them to Chairman Mao, mentioning "three handshakes in twenty-three years" and fondly recalling his 23-year friendship with Chairman Mao.
However, Chairman Mao did not mention to Liu Yazi the arrangements for his work.
Thus, on March 28, Liu Yazi wrote a poem entitled "Seven Laws: Feelings to Chairman Mao", using six allusions in a row, euphemistically expressing his dissatisfaction with the personnel arrangements, talking about the idea of retiring, and asking people to submit them to Chairman Mao.
According to Xia Yan's recollection, before writing this poem, Liu Yazi complained: "Li Jishen followed Chiang Kai-shek closely after Chiang Kai-shek's rebellion and revolution in 1927; Fu Zuoyi was the most active in carrying out Chiang Kai-shek's orders after Chiang Kai-shek tore up the CPPCC resolution in 1946." They have all now become Chairman Mao's guests. I have always been opposed to Chiang Kai-shek and followed the Communist Party, but now I am letting me sit on the 'cold bench'. ”
As everyone knows, Chairman Mao has just entered Beiping, and there are many complicated state affairs, among which there are many things to discuss with Li Jishen and Fu Zuoyi in order to prepare for the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Republic.
However, Chairman Mao read Liu Yazi's poems and did not blame Liu Yazi, he took great care of Liu Yazi's emotions, and wrote "Seven Laws and Mr. Liu Yazi" in his busy schedule, and let people send them to Liu Yazi's residence in the Yishou Hall of the Summer Palace.
Liu Yazi read Chairman Mao's poems, and his whole body was full of Thai, like a spring breeze.
Chairman Mao's poems are easy to understand and are all vernacular; the first sentence, "Drinking tea in Guangdong and the Sea, we have not forgotten," means that we will never forget the time when we drank tea together in Guangzhou; the second sentence, "Suo Sentence Yuzhou Ye Zhenghuang," refers to the past when "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" was made public during the Chongqing Peace Talks; the third and fourth sentences, "Thirty-one years are still in the old country, and huazhang is read during the falling flower season," which refers to the return to Beiping after 31 years, which is the year of reading Huazhang. The key is in the last four sentences: "The complaint is too rich to prevent intestinal breakage, and the wind and objects should be looked at for a long time." The Modao Kunming pond is shallow, and fish viewing is better than the Fuchun River. "This is to persuade Liu Yazi to correct his mentality, look at it long, and come to Japan for a long time."
On another day, Chairman Mao took the time to invite Liu Yazi to take a boat ride on Kunming Lake and go to the Fragrant Mountain to pay tribute to Sun Yat-sen's crown tomb.
Chairman Mao's sincere treatment greatly touched Liu Yazi, who wrote "Ci Yun Feng and Chairman Mao Hui Poems," admitting his mistake and expressing acceptance of Chairman Mao's persuasion.
In this way, Chairman Mao's poetry to answer Liu Yazi became a good story for a while.
After the founding of New China, Liu Yazi served as a member of the Central People's Government and a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
