“The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles.” The author begins with a magnificent description of the snow scene in the North, depicting a vast and majestic snow scene with a vast and far-reaching artistic conception.
"Qinyuan Spring·Snow" was written by the modern poet Mao Zedong.
Excerpt from the original text: The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow. ?Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the river up and down suddenly stops flowing. The silver snake dances in the mountains, and the original wax figure wants to compete with God. ?It must be a clear day, and it is particularly charming to see the red clothes and plain clothes. ?
Translation: The scenery in the north, thousands of miles of frozen ice, thousands of miles of snowflakes floating. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, all that is left is boundless white; the vast Yellow River up and down suddenly lost its surging momentum.
The mountains are like silver-white pythons flying, and the hills on the plateau are like many white elephants running. They all want to compete with God. You have to wait until it’s sunny to see the bright red sunshine and the white snow and ice complement each other, which is particularly beautiful. Extended information
The first part of the poem describes the magnificent snow scenery of the North, stretching thousands of miles across, showing a 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.
The whole poem combines description of scenery, discussion and lyricism. It has a magnificent artistic conception, great momentum, unrestrained emotions and a bold mind, which can quite represent the bold style of Mao Zedong's poetry.
Creative background: In 1936, the Red Army organized the Eastern Expedition troops to prepare 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 living in the home of farmer Bai Zhimin late at night. Seeing this scene, I was very moved and wrote this poem. "Qinyuan Chun·Snow" was first published in Chongqing's "Xinmin Daily Evening Magazine" on November 14, 1945, and later officially published in the January 1957 issue of "Poetry Magazine".
