Ah, the Yellow River,

You are the source of infinity,

Irrigate the flowers of the motherland;

You feel like a mother,

Feeding children of all ethnic groups;

Ah, the Yellow River

You are a witness to history,

Witness the growth of five thousand years of culture;

You are like a giant;

With your strong arms,

Roll up mountains and seas;

You are Tianhe,

With your furious Tao Jin,

Establish a national barrier;

Ah, the Yellow River,

You raised the children in China,

Became the flower of the motherland;

You are a hero of the motherland,

Our role model,

We should learn from you,

Become another barrier behind you to protect the country;

……

I have always been influenced by the idea that there is a dream beauty in the east and the Yellow River in the west. This is a kind of carefree "sitting in front of the court and watching the flowers bloom and fall, looking up at the clouds in the west." This feeling is as chic as poetry and as charming as poetry.

When the moonlight soaked cinnamon in late autumn, and the dense drizzle whirled the banana by the river, I began to wander again. Leading my horse, walking on the endless ancient road of red leaves, let the evening breeze and sunset glow light up my slightly tired pace, and I can't help playing the flute and prodigal minor. The crisp melody drifted to distant places and happy places with my dreams. Because of the pursuit of dreams, I have strengthened the pace of wandering.

Pursuing dreams, coming and going like the wind, freedom like a cloud. Go to the ends of the earth and sing all the way. I want to sing my free and easy heart and my hope for tomorrow. I will never be lonely on this long road, because there are birds singing and flowers smiling at me. At this moment, even if there are two thousand gold, fame and fortune, what is it? It's a mirage, passing away-life doesn't bring death, so I can't wander the Jianghu and come freely!

Tired and sleepy, sit quietly by the west lake, enjoy the beautiful sunset and feel the leisurely breeze on the lake! It feels like watching the moon in the west and bathing in the Dongting! Finally, at the last moment of sunset, I went to look for a trace of reluctance-I was worried about my oriental beauty. I know I need this kind of sustenance, because there is the expectation that Yanzi's beauty, which I dream of, will come back in the distance. With this faint intoxicating concern, I embarked on a long road of wandering without regrets, and I will not lose my way or myself.

Wan Li dreams of rivers and lakes and walks alone in the snow. I choose, I like. After a quiet life, I want to pursue the passion of "a glass of luminous grape wine, I want to drink pipa at once"-an ethereal life, drunk on the battlefield. With that full of blood and that arrogant impulse, I turned on my horse and went to the border to fight. At this moment, I am no longer immersed in love; At this moment, I finally found my way back to life. On the battlefield, I fought to the death, holding a long sword, flying like a dragon to the sky, shaking off the dust of lofty sentiments and waving my heroic domineering. At that moment, even if I died in battle, it was also a kind of chic and carefree.

The best thing about coming back from the war is to have a drink. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. Following the direction of the little shepherd boy, I strolled into the drizzly Jiangnan alley. I chose a restaurant by the river, tied my horse to the willow tree on the shore, took off my hat and went up to the second floor, asking Xiao Er to serve a pot of fine "Daughter Red". I chose a window seat, put down my sword and drank happily.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter outside the window caught my attention. Looking around, there are some good girls playing on the small bridge. They are swaying dreamily on the small stone bridge with oil-paper umbrellas of peach blossoms and pear blossoms. In the misty rain, their figures appear and disappear from time to time, which makes me feel at a loss like a fairy ... I have been drinking for 70 years unconsciously, and I feel groggy and high!

When dusk fell, I woke up, only to know that everyone had left. At this time, it began to rain again, and I was the only one who left the west wing. At the moment, I think this poem is the only one that suits me best. Holding my horse, I left quietly. I didn't leave anything behind, and I don't want to take anything away. I just want to come and go freely and sing along the way.

Laugh at life, life is rare and chic. Let go of all love and hate, all fame and fortune, and happily sing that ancient love song-come, have a drink, I am the beauty of the East and the Yellow River of the West. ...

Appreciation of American Literature and Interpretation of the Yellow River

one

The Yellow River is a river.

Walking towards the Yellow River is a trembling awe.

As the mother river of the Chinese nation, it has a total length of more than 5,400 kilometers and a drop of 4,830 meters. It has gathered more than 40 main tributaries, 1000 streams and rivers, crisscrossing things. It flows through 9 provinces and regions and spans 23 longitudes, with a catchment area of over 750,000 square kilometers. The population of the basin exceeds 1 100 million, and the cultivated land is 300 million mu. With an average annual diameter of 58 billion cubic meters, it is responsible for 15% of the country's cultivated land, 12% of the population and dozens of large and medium-sized cities.

No river in the world is so muddy. There are six buckets of mud in one stone. Every year, there are 4,000 tons of soil erosion and 5.5 million mu of cultivated land are destroyed. However, 654.38 billion tons of sediment are transported to the estuary every year, with a net area of tens of square kilometers. The average annual sediment is used to build a wall with a width of 1m and a height of 1m, and its length is twice that of the earth to distance to the moon and 27 times that of the equator.

No other river in the world is so difficult to control. The river swings at will, with a width difference of dozens of miles; The riverbed or layers are uplifted, and the depth is exposed for several feet, or the silt is infinitely high, hanging in the air of the city; The flood burst its banks and flooded hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, turning millions of Lebanon into fish and insects, only between day and night.

For China, the Yellow River is a river that cries all the year round.

Countless disasters, countless patience, countless hopes and setbacks, countless inexplicable irritability, countless unspeakable pains and worries, panic and confusion have been flowing with this river. Raise the cloudy sky and look forward to the roar that comes back again and again. The big dipper thundered, and the green grass and gold surged in the dream.

Lonely smoke in the desert, sunset in the long river, how magnificent Xiyue is, the Yellow River comes like silk, the Kunlun Mountain comes from the west, the Longmen touches a roar, the East China Sea falls from the sky, and the Wan Li sand twists and turns. Send Kunlun five-color stream, and a yellow turbid river runs through Zhongchuan. I want to cross the Yellow River, but ice will block the ferry and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow. In poor autumn, the wilderness is deserted. Who is the head of the horse in the East?

The mighty river, the river full of joys and sorrows, the crying river and the rickety river have brought ups and downs from generation to generation. Seasonal scenery circulates in the turbid waves. How many dynasties were overthrown, how many palaces were buried, how many princes and nobles were down and out, how many princes and ministers could submit to humiliation, how many beggars whined, and how many beautiful girls died.

Hedong Hexi Henan Hebei, head brazier bow down to the holy source. When the stone is broken into powder, when the bone is rotten to the ground, when sorghum drips into blood, when tears condense into ears of wheat, holding a copper pot to warm a river of tears and the Yellow River, you are still the song that people who have suffered a lot want to sing most!

Look at Jincheng by the Yellow River.

Thousands of years ago, the poet Li Bai sang: "Look, how the water of the Yellow River flows down from the sky and into the ocean, never to return." At this moment, I am also standing on the bank of the Yellow River, standing on the "First Bridge of the Yellow River in the World" as I wish, listening to the surging river flowing eastward to the Yellow River and feeling the charming charm of Jincheng Lanzhou.

Everyone who has never been to the bank of the Yellow River has an urgent desire to witness the mother river with his own eyes. When I was a child, I always liked to look through my father's photos and listen to his stories. Most photos are older than me. One of the photos attracted me very much, which was taken by my father standing on the iron bridge. I learned from my father that the bridge was called "Zhongshan Bridge", commonly known as "Zhongshan Railway Bridge" and "Yellow River Railway Bridge". Later, it was changed to "Zhongshan Bridge" in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It is located in the middle section of Binhe Road in Lanzhou, the provincial capital, at the foot of the beautiful Baita Mountain. It is the first real bridge on the Yellow River, so it is called "the first bridge on the Yellow River in the world". The nature under the bridge is the Yellow River, the mother river of our Chinese nation. Since then, I have been thinking about when I can stand on this iron bridge like my father and look at the mother river and our provincial capital Lanzhou.

Lanzhou, the provincial capital, is the geometric center of the geographical map of the motherland and the only city penetrated by the Yellow River. With the mother river passing through the city, the civilization history of Lanzhou can naturally be traced back to far away places. Although there are not many ancient crossings, it is actually an ancient city. I have seen the urban sculptures on Binhe Road, and the most beautiful "Yellow River Mother" among them. "Mother of the Yellow River" undoubtedly symbolizes the endless and indomitable mother of the Yellow River who has nurtured the Chinese nation and the happy and prosperous Chinese descendants. I think the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and Lanzhou, and she will always take care of it. For Lanzhou, the Yellow River is a kind and smiling mother in the sculpture, and Lanzhou has become a naughty and lovely baby boy in the mother's arms.

I remember once asking a classmate in Hainan what is the difference between facing the Yellow River and facing the sea. His answer was unclear, but he was deeply impressed by the occasional dusty weather in Lanzhou. At that time, I just smiled and told him that the dusty weather filled with loess really made Lanzhou feel a little "Huang Jincheng", but it was caused by the region, just like Hainan would encounter a typhoon, which was beyond our control. However, each has its own advantages. Hainan's summer is not long in winter, and it is humid all the year round, while Lanzhou has a continental climate with a large temperature difference, less precipitation, no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. Especially in summer, there is a saying that "Modao Lanzhou is near Yangguan, and Xiabi Kunming City".

As for why Lanzhou is also called "Jincheng", it is worth exploring, but there is no unified answer to this question. It is generally believed that Lanzhou is called "Jincheng" because it means "indestructible". According to Records of Historical Records, in the second year of founding ceremony (BC 12 1), a title of generals in ancient times Huo Qubing was ordered to "ride ten thousand horses out of Longxi". On the way to the victory of the Xiongnu in the Western Expedition, he crossed the Yellow River to the south on the north side of Xigu, and ordered his porter Li Xi to preside over it, thus building the first castle in Lanzhou history on the south bank of Xigu Yellow River. The words "Jin Cheng Li" in Jia Yi's On Qin Dynasty, "Jin Cheng Tang Chi is invincible" and "Gold" in Han Shu Jing Tong Zhuan are all used to symbolize the solidity of the city. However, the situation in Lanzhou is dangerous, with Longyuan in the east, Yangguan in the west, Bashu in the south and Shuofang in the north.

In the sixth year of Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty (8 1 BC), because Guangbian Village and Fan Qiang were enemies, two counties were selected from the three counties of Tianshui, Longxi and Zhangye established by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to establish Jincheng County (later increased to thirteen counties). During the reign of Emperor Yangdi Huang Kai, Emperor Wendi abandoned the county and set up the Lanzhou General Government (named "Lanzhou" because of the towering Gaolan Mountain in the south of the city). At this point, the name of Lanzhou began to appear in history books. At the beginning of the great cause, the government was abolished and Jincheng County was changed. From then on, people called Jincheng and Lanzhou together. There is also a legend that "Jincheng" was named after digging up gold when it was built. The Geography of Hanshu records that "the city was built with gold at the beginning, so it is called Jincheng", or that the city is located in the west of Chang 'an (Jin 'an), the capital city, and is named after the word "gold" in the five elements.

The poet is too white to remind people of wine. He is not only a genius of poetry, but also a genius of drinking and tasting wine. For Taibai, a poem and a glass of wine have made him a complete world. In Lanzhou people, you can also feel their special feelings for wine. If you have a good drink with them, you will find that what is precipitated in the strong wine culture is their frankness and boldness, their rough and simple enthusiasm and their infinite love for life. It is under the continuous struggle of all industrious and intelligent Lanzhou people and the great baptism of reform and opening up that Lanzhou, which has the reputation of "Gaolanshan Science City", has completely turned into a prosperous modern city, and the ancient battlefield filled with smoke has always been a thing of the past. Before liberation, the scene of "no wind, three feet of soil, rain and mud all over the street" has long been a distant memory. Now, under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, she is growing up and moving towards the northwest financial center. I believe that at this moment, on the railway bridge of the Yellow River, on the banks of the Yellow River, among the bustling crowd enjoying the city, some people are lamenting her prosperity and development. The Yellow River mother just silently and persistently witnessed all this.

Looking at the rushing Yellow River water on the bank of the Yellow River, looking at this "heart of the land", I can't help feeling. Time often flies like a blink of an eye, and the stars have shifted several times. Lanzhou, which is presented to me at this time, is very different from when my father left a photo. The water of the Yellow River is still flowing and will always witness the changes of this city.
