Full poem:
Qinyuan Spring·Snow
Modern and Modern Times: Mao Zedong
Northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting .
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the river up and down suddenly stops flowing.
Silver snakes dance in the mountains, and they are like wax figures, hoping to compete with the gods.
On a sunny day, it is particularly charming to see the red clothes and plain clothes.
The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down.
I regret that Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han were slightly less talented in literature; Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Dynasty were slightly less elegant.
The genius of the generation, Genghis Khan, only knew how to bend a bow and shoot at giant eagles.
It’s all gone, let’s count the famous people, but let’s look at the present.
Interpretation:
The scenery in the north is covered with ice for thousands of miles and snowflakes floating for thousands of miles.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only endless white. The entire Yellow River immediately lost its rolling water potential.
The mountains are like silver snakes dancing, and the hills on the plateau are like many white elephants running. They all want to compete with God to see who is taller.
When it’s sunny, you can watch the red sun and white snow complement each other, which is particularly beautiful and beautiful.
Jiangshan is so charming that countless heroes fall in love with her.
Unfortunately, the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were slightly less talented in literary studies; the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and the Taizu of the Song Dynasty were slightly less talented in literature.
The great hero Genghis Khan only knew how to shoot eagles with a bow.
These figures have all passed away. To be called heroes who can make great achievements depends on the people today.

Extended information
Creative background:
In 1936, the Red Army organized the Eastern Expedition troops, preparing to cross the Yellow River eastward to fight against the Japanese army. When the Red Army set out from Zichang County and advanced to the Yuanjiagou area in Gaojie Village, Qingjian County, the troops rested here for 16 days. From February 5th to 20th, when Mao Zedong lived here, there was a heavy snowfall. The inside and outside of the Great Wall were covered with snow, and the raised Qinjin Plateau was covered with ice and snow.
The weather was so cold that even the normally roaring Yellow River was covered with a thick layer of ice and lost its former waves. Mao Zedong was staying at the home of farmer Bai Zhimin late at night. Seeing this scene, I was very moved and wrote this poem.
The first part of the poem describes the magnificent snow scenery of the North, stretching thousands of miles across, showing the majestic, broad-minded and heroic artistic conception, and expressing the poet's love for the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland. The second film is lyrical, focusing on historical figures, praising contemporary heroes, and expressing the proletariat's heroic ambition to be the true master of the world.
Mao Zedong fully affirmed the dominant position of new poetry. At the same time, he gave a fair evaluation to old-style poetry, and set an example to make old-style poetry shine again in the contemporary era. The revival of Chinese poetry has served as a pioneer and practical model.
In the practice of creating old-style poetry, Mao Zedong successfully used the creative method of combining realism and romanticism, and better reflected the main tone of boldness and the combination of boldness and gracefulness. Combined art styles.
Mao Zedong’s poetry is realistic in content, but in art it inherits the tradition of active romanticism such as Qu Yuan and Li Bai in ancient China, creating an artistic style that is more unique than its predecessors.
