Original text:

The mighty nine factions flow to China, and the heavy line runs through the north and south. Misty and rainy, turtles and snakes lock the river.

Does the yellow crane know where to go? There is room for tourists. Soak the wine and a rising tide lifts all boats!

How many rivers run through China, and a hidden railway connects the north and the south. Clouds and rain are chaotic, and Guishan Sheshan locks the Yangtze River. Where did the old yellow crane fly? Only a few tourists pass by here now. I will pour wine into the river to show my generosity. My heart is stronger than the rolling waves of the Yangtze River.

Extended information 1. Creation background

Bodhisattva Man's Yellow Crane Tower is a word written by Mao Zedong in 1927. The background of this word is that China is in troubled times and the Great Revolution is at a low tide. Although the Northern Expedition has achieved some victories, warlords and various forces still exist. Chiang Kai-shek is in power and actively opposes * * *.

Second, appreciate

At the beginning, the whole word focuses on the big picture, from far to near, spreading at different levels, including accurate geography, implying the author's careful layout and latitude and longitude, all of which are handled cleanly and concisely. Then the next turning point reveals the poet's feelings about the vicissitudes of the world and the snow mud. The past has been passed down from generation to generation, and now the poet is one of the tourists who sing in a low voice.

In the last two poems, the poet poured wine into the river to express his ambition. The surging emotion was like a raging wave, and he immediately felt a strong desire to be in the center. Poetry reached its final climax here, and reached the core of poetry expression with persistent thoughts and generous singing.

The title of this word is only a wisp, and the whole article has only 44 words. But the breath of the times, class struggle, line struggle and surging feelings are as complicated as a long story. The whole poem closely follows the landing scene, highlighting the image of the great river, and natural philosophy, political struggle and revolutionary passion complement each other. The theme is particularly concentrated, profound and touching.
