On April 24, 1970, China's first artificial satellite, Dongfanghong I, was successfully launched. On April 25, Xinhua News Agency broadcast the "Press Communiqué" to the world, and from 8 p.m. on the same day, the Central People's Radio continuously broadcast the "Dongfang Hong" music uploaded from satellites. When the good news came, Qian Changzhao, Zhu Kezhen, and Weng Wenhao, three old friends, were also immersed in joy and celebration like the people of the whole country. They could not suppress their excitement, their thoughts gushed like a spring, the wind and thunder in the pen, and the rockets on the paper took off. The poems of the three old friends on the occasion of the satellite landing in the sky sang and left a good story in the literary world.
Qian Changzhao, Zhu Kezhen, and Weng Wenhao were officials or engaged in scientific undertakings together during the Republic of China period, and there were many intersections in their work; after the founding of New China, the three of them respectively served as important advisors and practical workers, all of whom were known for their important contributions, and the relationship between the three was relatively close. Qian Changzhao's son, Professor Qian Shixiang of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, once recalled: "Uncle Weng and his father also got a lot closer, and Weng often showed Qian the poems he wrote. At that time, my father's best friend was Zhu Kezhen, vice president of the Academy of Sciences."
The poetry singing and singing of the three old friends, in addition to similar life experiences and common interests in poetry, also has a certain basis for ideological understanding and poetry creation. When Qian Changzhao was launched on China's satellite, there were also two "Rocket Exploration Moon" and one "LinjiangXian Artificial Satellite". As early as 1958, soon after Mao Zedong put forward the call that "we must also engage in artificial satellites," Zhu Kezhen wrote a poem entitled "Wishing for the Success of the Launch of Artificial Satellites." On the evening of May Day of that year, Zhu Kezhen also climbed the Tiananmen Tower to watch the ceremony and witnessed the warm scene of the military and people in the capital cheering the first artificial satellite into the sky. On May Day, Weng Wenhao also expressed his emotions with the words "Man Jiang Hong". The poems and poems of the three old friends reflect from one side the patriotic intellectuals of the older generation, an affirmation of the great achievements of China's aerospace industry, and a praise for China's scientific and technological progress. Their poems, either lyrical or verbal, or realistic, or biching; if we leave aside the specific language of the time, in terms of their ideological and artistic nature alone, it is equally exciting to read today.
Zhu Kezhen
echo each other
Singing and harmony were first initiated by Qian Changzhao. On May 8, 1970, Zhu Kezhen recorded in his diary: At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Zhiyuan came and brought Qian Yiquan's poem "Singing the Praises of China's Artificial Earth Satellite to heaven", cloud: "Spiritual matter becomes each other, and miracles are still charming." Around the earth red stars and heavens, the human world is full of songs. "Shen Shengyuan is Qian Changzhao's wife, and Yi quan is Qian Changzhao's character." At the beginning of the construction of people's power, Qian Changzhao, as a special representative, attended the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and after the founding of New China, he served as a member of the Financial and Economic Committee of the State Council and deputy director of the Planning Bureau. Qian Changzhao's poetry has long been commented on by scholars, and he was the president of the All-China Poetry Society. Mao Zedong once commented on Qian Changzhao's poems such as "Lutainong" and "Gaocheng Rural Areas": "These poems are good." Qian Changzhao praised the satellite to the heavens, from spirit to matter, from miracles to rays, especially "around the earth and the red star in the sky, the world is full of songs", the words are easy to understand, lyrical and colorful, quite the wind of the year!
On the same day, after Zhu Kezhen got Qian's poems, he composed "And Qian Yiquan Ode Satellite Poems and Follow the Original Rhymes": "Shenzhou Entrepreneurship Ben Tiancheng, rockets take off in the Song Dynasty. Today's song is around the silhouette, and the deeds of the people have a precursor. And added clouds: "The satellite on the sky is the dust after the gunpowder is lit up in the sky, and gunpowder was first invented by my Song Dynasty." In fact, the "rocket take-off" that Zhu Kezhen talked about here is technically, that is, to achieve the technical indicators of "going up". China is the hometown of rockets, and ancient Chinese science and technology have laid an important foundation for modern flying, but today it is far beyond the achievements of the ancestors, which will have the exclamation of "Song Dynasty Surprise" in the poem. Zhu Kezhen is a famous meteorologist, who served as vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences after the founding of New China, and has participated in the planning and demonstration of satellite projects "581" and "651" missions, and has a lot of feelings for the satellite cause. On May 17, 1958, shortly after Mao Zedong issued the great call of "we must also engage in artificial satellites", on June 9, Zhu Kezhen followed the original rhyme of Mao Zedong's "Seven Laws and Long March" and wrote a seven-law poem "Wishing for the Success of the Launch of Artificial Satellites": "How difficult is it to call the wind and rain, driving the fog and clouds has been idle." Three sections of long rainbow chasing jade rabbits, a round of sunset silver pills. Rushing the bull fight in the mountains and the sea, wearing the moon and wearing the star into the cold. This goes to everyone's wonderland, don't ask about white hair and red face. In the poem, the process of lifting the rocket to the sky, and even the technical scheme of dividing the rocket launching the satellite into three stages, were "revealed", and Chinese myths and legends were also written. Such a beautiful piece of Jiashi, vivid and vivid, refreshing. This is "one song and one harmony".
Weng Wenhao
Anti-singing and anti-harmony
Perhaps the aftermath of the shock of the satellite on the sky has not gone, or it feels that the intention is not over, after breakfast on May 9, Zhu Kezhen looked at Qian Changzhao's "Singing the Praises of China's First Satellite to the Heavens" and said, "Because I also want to try it", he meditated for more than an hour, and made seven absolutes as follows: "One from the red color of Chi County, everywhere people sang Mao Zedong." This song should also be in heaven, so the flying drum is taught to go around the long sky. And added clouds: "Recently, satellites have mostly made cylindrical shapes like waist drums, so they are called flying drums." This poetic use of the poem Saint Du Fu is a divine stroke, and the artistic conception is lofty. Du Fu's "This song should only be in heaven" is a beautiful instrumental tune, but today Zhu Kezhen said that "this song should also be in heaven", and advocated for the satellites of the Chinese people to heaven. The one-word change shows the original intention of Chinese "Dongfang Hong" sung in the form of folk songs, which should be heard by people all over the world. In the course of the demonstration of the first artificial satellite, the relevant departments of the central government put forward at least four technical instructions: "you can go up", "you can catch it", "you can see it", and "you can hear it". China's satellites emitting familiar music highlight China's scientific and technological progress than the first satellites in other countries that only sent telegram codes back to the ground.
The he poems written by Zhu Kezhen were not immediately handed over to Qian Shi for review, but made some modifications himself. A few days later, on May 18, Qian Changzhao personally came to Zhu's house. Zhu Kezhen recorded in his diary: "Four points of money yiquan came. Yoon Min-min and I wrote "Celebrating China's Artificial Satellite in The Heavens" written by him and me. Qian Changzhao was worthy of the true color of a poet, and the day after he got the poem, he filled in a new poem and inscribed the poem "Hezhu Lotus". Zhu Kezhen's diary records that on the afternoon of May 19, "Shen Shengyuan came, gave me the second poem on the heavens with Yi Quan and my artificial satellite", "The wisdom of the workers and peasants is infinite, and the whole world cheers Mao Zedong." Heaven and earth are the same song, and the satellite is brilliant over the long sky. "The same song in heaven and on earth" is beautiful, elegant, romantic and free. The author has turned the "heavenly human world" separated by heaven and man in li Yu's "Langtaosha Nostalgia" of the Southern Tang Dynasty into a "heavenly song" cheered by the people on the satellite, and also changed the "heaven" and "earth" subscription in the first poem to a co-writing, condensing it into "the unity of heaven and man", singing people's excitement about the satellite at that time, which is actually one of the best sentences in the poem "Heavenly Man". The poetry singing of the two old friends can be regarded as an interesting event in the literary world in the process of the people of the whole country celebrating the history of the satellite on the sky, which is "anti-singing and anti-harmony".
Three people singing and
It doesn't end there. Due to the appearance of another old friend, it added another episode to this literary anecdote. Because of the appearance of Weng Wenhao, a common old friend of Qian and Zhu, the singing and "duet" between the two evolved into a "small chorus" of three people singing and harmony.
Weng Wenhao is also very concerned about the satellite in the sky, as early as April of that year, he left a good sentence of "the most joyful song, the satellite is majestic, and praises the world". On May 1 of that year, he composed the words "Manjiang Hong, The First Artificial Earth Satellite", which included "a moment of bureaucratic feudal suffering, the liberation of the nine xiaoxiao ships" and "the universe welcomes the mission, and the space is far away from the state song", which is also a work left in the world. In May, there was also the reputation of "the satellite in the sky shocked the world, and Shenzhou was not idle", which also expressed the general voice of the people at that time.
Weng Wenhao was the first doctor of geology in China and contributed to the construction of national resources. After the founding of New China, Weng Wenhao returned to China from abroad and soon became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In April 1956, Mao Zedong mentioned Weng Wenhao in "On the Relations of the Ten Congresses", saying that he was a "patriotic Kuomintang military and political personnel". From Weng's poems, we can also read his fist and patriotism.
The Collected Poems of Weng Wenhao includes Weng Wenhao's he poems, as well as Qian Changzhao's original poems and Zhu Kezhen's he poems. The title of the poem is "Seven Absolute Two Songs, Joyful Songs of Our Country's Newly Created Satellites and the Original Rhyme of Brother Yi Quinoa". The first song: "The miracle ascension to heaven is at stake, and the song is far away from the world." The United States and the Soviet Union listened to new songs day and night, and the doctrine was grand and grand. The second song: "The people's consciousness is infinite, and they surround the earth in the west and east." The weight range is far beyond a hundred countries, and the red light flashes in the sky. Obviously, due to the existence of the four poems of qian Changzhao and Zhu Kezhen, Weng Shi actually stood on the shoulders of others, and naturally looked farther away. From Weng's poems, "the world is shocked" and "west and east", we can feel the vastness of the poet's vision; from the descriptions of "the United States and the Soviet Union" and "Hundred Countries", we can also feel the shock and exclamation caused by the Chinese satellite in the sky in the world; the so-called "weight" cloud in the poem involves a technical indicator of the satellite, that is, China's first satellite weighs 173 kilograms, which is greater than the sum of the weight of the first satellite in the Soviet Union, the United States, France, and Japan. As for the day weng Wenhao's peace poem was written, check the relevant literature and only sign "May", which is ominous.
The singing and harmony of the three old friends is an expression of their hearts for the great achievement of the satellite to the heavens, and it is also an explosion of sincere emotions. In fact, the three of them, singing and before and after, have been from the unique perspective of the poet, on the moon and the impact it brings, in observation, in understanding, in chanting, in singing.
During this period, Qian Changzhao wrote two poems of "Rocket Exploration of the Moon" and one of them, "Linjiang Xian Artificial Satellite", among which there are also good sentences, such as "In the coming year, the rocket will add new wings and carry tourists to the Moon Palace", "The universe is secretly and diligently discussed, and the world is just"; here there are both future expectations and rational elaborations, which are amazing to read; in June of that year, Weng Wenhao lamented in his poems that "the satellites in the sky are vast, and the righteous qi in the world has been from the Mountain", and praised "turning around the satellites around the earth, and the world is full of strange deeds." More than half a year later, Weng Wenhao died of illness at his home in Beijing on January 27 at the age of 82. On January 27, 1971, on the new year of Xinhai, Zhu Kezhen wrote in a poem remembering "the revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen": "The clouds are not enough, and the cold can roam." The author's thoughts are still a great praise for the achievements of the satellite 8 months ago. This also shows how strongly China's first satellite shocked people's hearts.
China's first artificial satellite Dongfanghong No. 1 went to the sky, the people of the whole country rejoiced, Qian Changzhao, Zhu Kezhen, Weng Wenhao, three old friends sang and celebrated with poetry, one after another, you came and went, sang and harmonized, interpreted a set of aerospace carols, leaving a good story in the poetry world.
Around May 8, 1970, Qian Changzhao sang this and wrote a poem praising the seven songs of the satellite in the sky; Zhu Kezhen followed closely behind, and wrote a poem to harmonize it on the same day; on the 9th, Zhu wrote another poem, or sang another poem; on the 18th, after Qian received Zhu's harmony and sang two poems, on the 19th, he continued the front string and made another song; Weng Shi, after receiving Money, Zhu Er's singing and four songs, made two more songs in one go. The poems between the three old friends sang harmony, each person two seven absolute, a total of six songs of the Oriental Red Satellite Absolute Sentence Liu Fang, it can be said that Qian's one singing, Zhu's one harmony; Zhu's anti-one singing, Qian's re-harmony; and further, Weng's two singing and two harmony. Qian's one sings strong reality, Zhu's one and yong history; Zhu's anti-singing is graceful, Qian's harmony and love are also strong; Weng's two poems in a row write two poems to harmonize, and Harmony is even more emotional and radiant. From May 8, when Zhu Shi received Qian's poems and weng shi completed 2 Japanese poems, in just over 10 days, three old friends came and went, singing and harmonizing, leaving 6 famous poems in the Chinese poetry world, and achieving an interesting story in the Chinese poetry world.
This singing can be called an anecdote in the history of science and technology, a happy event in the history of culture, and a beautiful thing in the history of poetry!
