Mao Zedong, December 1961
Read Lu You's words about plums, and use them in the opposite way.
Mao Zedong's handwritten poem "Plum" was sent back in the wind and rain,
the snow to welcome the arrival of spring.
It is already a cliff of a hundred feet of ice,
but there are still pretty flowers.
The first thing you need to do is to get the ball rolling, and the second thing you need to do is to get it out of the way.
When the flowers are in full bloom,
she is laughing in the bushes.
The poem was translated into Chinese and used occasionally
The wind and rain have just sent the spring away,
and the snow on the sky has brought the spring back.
The cliffs of the city are full of ice,
but the flowers are still blooming.
The cold and the beautiful do not compete with the beauty of spring,
but only to report the spring weather.
When the mountains are full of flowers,
she is happy to laugh in the flowers.
Appreciation of plum blossoms is the subject of a thousand years of chanting by ancient Chinese literati and writers. The Song Dynasty Lin Hejing, the great hermit who appreciated and loved plum blossoms, had poems that constantly sang about plum blossoms. To "wife plum son crane" feelings in the plum blossom, can be said to love the most of the literati plum. Chairman Mao here based on Lu You's words about plum blossoms and used them in the opposite way, "Bu San Zi" (卜算子) is indeed similar to Lu You's words about plum blossoms. Wing Plum" is indeed very different from what Lu You wrote. Lu You wrote about the loneliness and purity of the plum blossom, and how its solitary fragrance attracted the envy and jealousy of the flowers. But the chairman of the poem is written about the beauty of the plum blossom, positive, chaste, not sad but smiling, not lonely and proud but with the integrity and pride of the revolutionaries of the new era. China wrote countless poems about plum, the general mood and tone are more or less the same; Chairman Mao is indeed a generation of great poets style, out of the ordinary, a poem of plum power to sweep the past literati that kind of grief, decadence, the air of seclusion, to create a new landscape and a new meteorology, breathtaking, convincing.
Year after year, the wind and rain to send the spring back, but the sky snow will spring back. Only to see the cliffs and cliffs of a hundred feet of ice, but in such a cold and harsh environment, the plum blossom is a unique, proudly blossomed. The poet, of course, also follows the ancient teaching, and uses the plum blossom to express his will. The poet uses the plum blossoms blooming in the winter to encourage himself and persuade others that they should learn from the plum blossoms, and bravely meet the challenge to show their own beauty in such a dangerous situation. The poet's use of the word "pretty" is excellent, and the image of the plum blossom that has never appeared before has appeared in this one word. This is the image of the joyful one, the image of the confident one, the image of the victor, of course, this is not only the image of the plum blossom in the poet's eyes, but also the image of the Chinese people. How many layers of profound meaning does this word "beautiful" contain, to be aggressive and to never give in?
The next section, the poet and the image of the plum blossom to the depth of the guide, it is beautiful but not to plunder the beauty of spring, just a spring messenger, to send us the message of spring. And when the winter is gone, when the spring is full of light, the plum blossom is alone hidden in the bushes of all flowers to send out a happy smile. Plum blossom, it is a warrior in the eyes of the poet, it fights with the cold, it is only to win the spring, inform the arrival of spring, and then retreat, and does not force the beauty of spring. This image is the image of selflessness and silent devotion. Plum blossom in the new China, its image has been shaped by the poet, more full and tall.
This word before the quote: "read Lu You plum words, against its intention and use." Indicates the opportunity for creation. "The wind and rain sends spring back, the snow welcomes spring." The opening line of the poem shows a different mindset and vigor from Lu You's, with the momentum of a robust brush. The words "wind and rain" and "flying snow" point out the change of seasons and the change of time, while the words "spring returns" and "spring arrives" focus on the movement of things. Focusing on the movement of things, both to the whole piece created a sense of flow of time, but also for the next write the plum in the snow for the preparation of the vicissitudes of life, the words and phrases upright, the momentum is high.
The next sentence, "It's already a cliff of a hundred feet of ice", depicts the harsh environment of the plum blossom in winter. However, in the forced environment and the sinister atmosphere, but also "still have a flower branch pretty". The word "cliff" indicates that the environment is so dangerous, and "100 feet of ice" shows that the cold is only so intense, but the plum blossoms are beautifully open on this ice condensation of 100 feet and cliffs, a "pretty" word that not only depicts the plum blossoms' harsh environment in winter, but also their beauty. The word "pretty" not only depicts the colorful form of the plum blossom, but also shows the spirit of the plum blossom's arrogance and uprightness, and the spirit of the flower's heroic temperament. The poet's plum blossom is full of pride, the ice can not damage its bones, snow can not hide its pretty, the danger can not destroy its will, which and the Lu You pen "lonely open without a master", "dusk alone sad" image of the plum blossom, forming a sharp contrast.
Combined with the writing background of Mao Zedong's words, the image of the plum blossom so portrayed by the wordsmith is a profound political allegory. At that time when our country suffered three years of natural disasters, the former Soviet Union leaders have provoked the Sino-Soviet war, political, economic and military pressure on China, internal and external difficulties, **** and the country was severely tested. The phrase "a hundred feet of ice on a precipice" symbolizes the political environment at that time. Mao Zedong wrote this poem to express the determination of the Chinese people, who would never give in to the vicious environment and would bravely meet the challenges until the final victory. Although "the precipice is already a hundred feet of ice", "there is still a pretty branch of flowers" - the Chinese people are the plum blossom that fights against the frost and snow. The Chinese people are the plum blossom that fights against snow and frost.
The next piece, the author of the plum blossom metaphor for the messenger of spring, further warm praise. British poet Shelley sang in the "Ode to the West Wind": "Winter has come, spring will be far away?" The plum blossom in the harsh winter, is the earliest messenger of spring, "pretty also do not fight for spring, only the spring to report", this selfless and uninterested character, so that the image of the plum blossom is more full.
Finally, the lyricist ended with "when the flowers are in full bloom, she smiled in the bushes", which pushed the realm of the word to a higher level. Spring has come, the earth is full of soft warmth, the cliff is finally full of mountain flowers, a gorgeous. The plum blossom ushered in the splendid spring with its own sincerity. At this time, the original branch alone, proudly erect plum blossoms, without the slightest jealousy, but very pleased and peaceful hidden in the rosy spring colors. "Laughing in the bushes" three words, with the pen to write out the plum blossom and mountain flowers *** enjoy the joy of spring, especially the word "laugh", wrote out the charm of the plum blossom - both humble and unassuming, but also The word "smile", in particular, brings out the charm of the plum blossom - both humble and unassuming, but also open-minded and generous in spirit, greatly sublimating the artistic realm of the word. In Lu You's original lyrics, the plum blossom is envied by "all the flowers" and is in opposition to all the others, and it is "as fragrant as before", which expresses his feelings of being a loner and a loner. Mao Zedong, the end of this word, highlighting the plum "smile in the bush" style, from the perspective of self-metaphors, containing his personality aspirations of the externalizer; and then further extended, it is a manifestation of the struggle in front of the *** producers to enjoy the noble virtues and dedication of the spirit of the latter.
The plum words, the structure is exquisite and harmonious, in shaping the image of the plum blossom, the upper part of the focus on writing the background, the background to contrast the object, so that the plum blossom has a clanking iron bone and the spirit of the challenge; the lower part of the ink and write the object, highlighting the plum blossom willing to be hidden in a hundred flowers of the sentiment, so that the plum blossom has a bright and cheerful to the rigid and desireless character. A "pretty" word, become a bridge of transition, so that the realm of the word is natural.
2:Wing goose Luo Binwang
é é é
Goose, goose, goose,
qū xiàng xiàng tiān gē
The curved neck sings to the sky.

White fur floats on green water,

This little poem is said to have been written when Luo Binwang was seven years old. The first three lines of the poem are about three geese, which expresses the surprise of the children when they first saw the geese. The next three lines bring the geese's demeanor to life. The group of white geese swam leisurely, and were squawking with their necks high, as if they were talking about the sky, as if they were singing, and even more as if they were singing to the sky. They swim around in the water, white body floating in the green water, red goose palms backward gently flicked the clear river water, ripples. This is a picture of how easy, happy, free, how innocent and beautiful ah! This is the world in the eyes of the children, is the beginning of their understanding of life, especially like a bird rushing to nature, how joyful. It allows us to experience the childishness of a child's heart and purity of our mind.

Appreciation
This is an aria poem about the willow in early spring and February.
This is a poem about the willow in early spring. There is no doubt that the beauty of its image lies in its long and slender branches. Once a year, it grows new green leaves, silk down, in the spring breeze, has a charming attitude. This is anyone can appreciate. In classical poems, this image of beauty is borrowed to describe and compare the slim figure and graceful waist of a beauty, which is also what we often see. This poem takes a different tack and flips it on its head. "In the first line, the willow appears as a beauty: "Ten thousand threads of green silk tapestries hang down", and these thousands of threads become her skirts. The word "high" in the first line sets off the beauty's elegant posture; the word "hanging" in the second line suggests the slender waist swaying in the wind. There is no "willow" or "waist" in the poem, but the early spring willow and the beauty incarnated in the willow tree are brought to life. According to the Southern History, Liu Rangzhi, as the governor of Yizhou, offered several willows in Shu, "with very long strips that looked like strands of silk." Emperor Wu of Qi planted these willows in front of the Yunhe Temple in Taichang, playing and enjoying it, said it was "lovely and elegant". Here, the willow is said to be "green silk ribbon", which may be an allusion to the famous allusion to the willow. But this is the use, can not see a trace of.
"Jasper made up" leads to "green silk tapestry", "green silk tapestry" leads to "who cuts out ", and finally, the view of the invisible and elusive "spring breeze", was also used "like scissors" figuratively depicted. This "scissors" cut out the tender green and bright red flowers and grasses, to the earth for a new makeup, it is the symbol of natural vitality, is the spring to give people the revelation of beauty. From "jasper" to "scissors", we can see a series of processes in the poet's artistic conception. A series of images appear in the poem, is a ring closely linked to a ring.
Perhaps some people will be skeptical: China's ancient times there are a lot of famous beauty, Liu, why do you want to use Jasper alone to compare? I think, this has two meanings: one is the name of Jasper and the color of the willow related to the "blue" and the next sentence of the "green" is mutual development, complement each other. The second is that Jasper will always leave a young impression in people's minds. When people think of Jasper, they will associate it with the widely circulated Jasper Song "When Jasper Breaks the Melon", as well as poems such as "Jasper's Little Daughter" (Xiao Dai's "Lotus Catching Fugue"). Jasper in ancient literature, almost become a general term for young and beautiful women. Jasper to the willow, people will imagine that the beauty has not yet reached the age of the full-fledged hang down; the willow is still early spring willow, not to the time of the dense leaves hide crows; and the following "fine leaves" "February spring wind" and is linked.
"Jasper makeup into a tree high, ten thousand hanging down the green silk tapestry", y grasping the characteristics of the willow, in the eyes of the poet, it seems to be the embodiment of beauty. Tall trunk, like her pavilion style, drooping willow, like the ribbon on her skirt. Here, the willow is the person, the person is the willow, as if there is no distinction between the two. Moreover, "Jasper" has a double meaning. Both literally with the willow tree's emerald color, but also refers to the young and beautiful girl, and the following "February spring breeze" echoed - this is the early spring of the weeping willows, not yet to the summer and fall when the pavilion as a cover, the shade of the clear round time. However, the following two lines are even better: "I don't know who carries the fine leaves, but the February spring breeze is like scissors." Before He Zhizhang, who had ever thought that the spring wind was like scissors? By transforming the first warm February spring wind from intangible to tangible, it shows the magical dexterity of the spring wind and makes "Winging the Willow" an exemplary work of aria poetry.
No appreciation of the following .

But if I don't have to cut it, I will see you in the clouds.
