"Seven Absolutes: Photographs of the Immortal Cave of Lushan Mountain taken by Comrade Li Jin" is a seven-sentence poem written by Mao Zedong on September 9, 1961. The poem was first published in the December 1963 edition of Chairman Mao's Poems by the People's Literature Publishing House. It is not difficult to imagine that the people of the whole country were groping in the dark, climbing on the rugged paths, seeking the truth of governing the country and strengthening themselves in difficulties and obstacles, and showing the backbone of haohao's arrogance.
The twilight sky looks strong and loose, and the chaotic clouds are still calm. [Pine trees stand proudly on the cliffs in the twilight sky, and a series of chaotic clouds fly calmly.] 】
Born a fairy cave, unlimited scenery in the dangerous peak. [A fairy cave built by heaven and earth can appreciate the infinite beautiful scenery on this steep mountain.] 】
From late August to late September 1961, the CENTRAL Committee of the Communist Party of China held a work conference in Lushan to discuss issues such as industry, finance and trade, education, and science and technology, so as to thoroughly implement the eight-character policy of "readjustment, consolidation, fullness, and improvement, and the national economy can get out of its predicament." Due to the "three years of difficulties" at that time, on the one hand, there were international anti-China forces blocking and exerting pressure on our country, and on the other hand, due to the author's own mistakes in the previous period, the author's mentality at this time was more complicated and the situation was quite difficult. The day of the poem is the thirty-fourth anniversary of the "Autumn Harvest Uprising" that the author is proud of. Therefore, although the author has a sad and desolate element in his heart at this time, it is more of a tenacious and confident personality in the author's personality and the spirit of struggle that is not afraid of pressure. The poem was written on September 9, 1961, and was first published in the December 1963 edition of Mao Zedong's Poems.
The first two sentences of this poem: "The twilight sky looks strong and loose, and the chaotic clouds are still calm." "That is to say, in the twilight of the sky, you see the strong green pine, allowing the churning clouds to pass by, and it is still calm; the clouds that fly in the sky also seem calm. These two sentences write Jinsong's indomitable fighting posture.
"Twilight Sky" depicts the temporal and spatial environment in which "Jinsong" is located, and is used to symbolize a temporary chaotic situation. From 1959 to 1961, there were successive serious natural disasters, a large number of grain production was reduced, imported grain was blockaded, there was a serious shortage of rations, and people's hearts were unstable. Coupled with the rapid decline in industrial production, people felt panic for a while, the future was uncertain, lost their way, in the case of "twilight and darkness", those birds also hid in their nests, only the indomitable "Jinsong" sent away how many "twilight" nights, "chaotic clouds flying across" is the real scene at that time, depicting the ferocity of chaotic clouds, it symbolizes the pressure from foreign reactionary political forces at that time.
Specifically, the Chiang Kai-shek clique, supported by US imperialism, frantically clamored to counterattack the mainland; the reactionary forces of various countries also launched a wanton attack on China's socialist system; and the Soviet leaders provoked a Sino-Soviet polemic and turned the polemic between the two parties into a state dispute, exerting tremendous political, economic, and military pressure on China. In the face of the chaotic clouds in the twilight, Jinsong still stood there calmly and unswervingly; in the face of the anti-China chorus of reactionaries from all over the world, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people armed with Marxism-Leninism were not intimidated, but they also carried out a tenacious and effective counterattack, withstood tempering, and won victory. "Still calm" means the great courage of not being afraid of danger, not wavering, daring to struggle, and daring to win.
"Born with a fairy cave, infinite scenery in the dangerous peak." The Cave of the Immortals is natural, and its infinite scenery is above the steep peaks. These two sentences contain deep philosophies. If you want to see the infinite beauty, you must climb the most dangerous peak. By extension, if we want to win the victory of the revolution, we must overcome many difficulties and sweep away the obstruction of all kinds of reactionary forces. In order to win the great victory in socialist construction, we must summon up all our energies and strive to go upstream, and we must exert great efforts and sweat in order to create rich material and spiritual wealth. Then for a person, if you want to become a "jinsong", you must withstand all kinds of hardships and tests.
Through vivid depictions of Jinsong and Xianren Cave, the poem celebrates the indomitable fighting spirit of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people for the great cause of socialism.
The artistic features of this poem are mainly expressed as allegories and scenes. According to the content of the photographs and the actual situation of life, Mao Zedong first created two main images: "Jinsong" and "Immortal Cave". Then create secondary images such as "twilight", "chaotic clouds", and "dangerous peaks", which appear in the poem as a background, thus constituting the artistic realm of the "infinite scenery" of Lushan Immortal Cave. It is not only vivid, magnificent, and deeply infected, but also contains a profound philosophy between the lines, so that people can get inspiration: for each of us, whether it is doing business or learning, in order to achieve the ideal to unremittingly pursue, struggle; or when we are frustrated in the journey of life, in adversity, we should be full of confidence in victory, unremitting efforts, dare to climb dangerous peaks, to win the final victory. Therefore, this poem has become a masterpiece of the people who are attached to the scenery and allegorize to the scenery.
