works appreciation
This is an epic that exposes the dark reality of old China and praises the great national unity of new China. This is the grand bell at the end of the old era and the beginning of a new era. First of all, the whole word comes from the warm scene of the gala, which is linked with the tragic scene of old China; Then, with a change of pen, he praised the strong atmosphere at the National Day party, which heralded the bright future of great unity and prosperity of the people of all ethnic groups in New China.
Uptown exposed and criticized the long-term dark rule of old China. "It's hard to know the sky in the long night in Chixian County." Chixian shenzhou has been dark for thousands of years, and three mountains are oppressive. What time does the night end? Who can save people from the mire? This elegy artistically reproduces the aspirations of the suffering people in China who are unwilling to be humiliated and unwilling to perish. Even if the night is long, they should unite and struggle. A word "long" and a word "difficult" show the author's heavy mood.
Hundred Years of Magic Dance opens a bloody modern history. During the hundred years from 1840 to 1949, the people of China suffered unprecedented hardships, both from Eight-Nation Alliance's aggression and the white terror and cruel rule of the Kuomintang reactionaries. These "foreign ghosts" and "local ghosts" dance wildly, polluting the sky in China more and more dark. China was reduced to a semi-colonial country by a series of unequal treaties, such as treaty of nanking, which ceded land and paid reparations time and again. Ethnic minorities, in particular, are suffering even more under the rule of Kuomintang reactionaries. The Kuomintang reactionaries have created one bloody incident after another, killing and suppressing ethnic minorities. It is the devil who runs rampant and the people suffer. The tragedy in China has reached its climax, and people's anger and resistance have come out.
"500 million people are not reunited." In this reality, all ethnic groups are divided, so they can't live a stable life, and the 500 million people in China can't get together. Due to the invasion of imperialism and the separatist regime of warlords, the great rivers and mountains of China have been divided into pieces, and the country is no longer a country. Coupled with the tragic situation of "looting, burning and killing everything" in the Japanese-occupied areas, taxes in the Kuomintang-controlled areas are heavy, spies are rampant, prices are soaring, people are poor, and hunger is everywhere ... The situation is tragic and inexhaustible. Although it is only three sentences, it artistically reproduces the darkness and suffering of old China, and makes us feel that today's happy life is hard-won. People of all ethnic groups should join hands to create a bright future for the motherland. Only when the country is strong can the people "reunite".
In the afternoon, the poet's thoughts returned to the joyful scene at the grand ceremony. People of all ethnic groups sang and danced to celebrate the National Day, showing the people's happy, peaceful and happy new life and the brilliant prospects of the new China. "A rooster sings the world white" is an inverted sentence of "A rooster sings the world white" by Li He. The rooster crowed for a long time, reporting that it was dawn in China, and the word "singing" was louder and stronger, as if it was the passion that poured out from people's hearts, which exhausted people's happy mood of getting rid of the long night and welcoming the dawn of the red sun. It shows that the revolutionary armed forces led by China's * * * production party are great. From the establishment of workers and peasants' armed forces to the 25,000-mile long March, from the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to the great victory of the war of liberation, the people of China finally established the Republic of China, and the people of China stood up from then on. Looking up at the sky, I feel particularly sunny, and the joy of the people being masters of the country is between the lines.
"Wan Fang's Music Played in Khotan", people of all ethnic groups played joyful music at the birthday celebration of the motherland, including the sweet songs of the sons and daughters of Xinjiang. This sentence was written by people of all ethnic groups to praise the victory of the China revolution and the new life, which made us imagine a beautiful picture of all the prosperity and people living and working in peace and contentment in new China. Song of Khotan is just the tip of the iceberg. From this, we can think of the grand occasion of the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in the country, the party celebrating the whole country, and the ancient miracle that New China created a new situation in China's history ... How can we not let the poet be inspired and write happily?
"Poets are more prosperous". The poets here refer not only to Liu Yazi, but also to the poets themselves, and more generally to literary and art workers all over the country. The poet's interest is unprecedented. On the one hand, it shows that poets should perceive and praise new life, which is an affirmation and encouragement to literary and art workers including Liu Yazi; On the other hand, it shows that the poet firmly believes that China in the future will be greater and more magnificent than at any time in history, and the prosperity, stability and unity of new China are unprecedented.
This word skillfully uses the contrast technique to vividly write the contrast between heaven and earth in the old and new societies. The first half is about old China, and the second half is about new China, echoing each other. The author compares the "white world" of the new society with the darkness of the old society, the festive songs and dances and chaotic dances of people of all ethnic groups, and the national unity of the new society with the disintegration of the old society. Such a strong contrast is shocking.
