J led the third anti-Japanese drama team, crossed the Yellow River from Hukou, Yichuan County, Shaanxi Province, and transferred to Luliang Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area. On the way, I visited dangerous beaches, swift eddies and reef waterfalls, witnessed the Yellow River boatman's struggle with the stormy waves, and listened to the long and powerful boatman's song. After arriving in Yan 'an in June 5438+the following year 10, The Yellow River Cantata's poems were brewed and created. This poem is the second in a series of eight poems.

The Yellow River Cantata is a modern poem written by a modern poet 1939 years ago. This poem is a lyric poem reflecting the theme of resisting Japan and saving the nation. It is also an ode to the Yellow River sung by the poet, which eulogizes the magnificent momentum of the Yellow River with surging enthusiasm and has a long history.

The birth and great protection of the Chinese nation praised the unyielding national spirit of the Chinese nation and expressed the strong determination and courage of the Chinese people. The whole poem is bold and unrestrained in language, broad and lofty in artistic conception, magnificent and full of strength. Reading in one go, full of passion, gives people a strong spiritual shock.

This poem was later selected as the text in the textbook "The Second Volume of Chinese for Grade Seven" of People's Education Edition.

Ode to the Yellow River should be a modern poem reflecting the theme of resisting Japan and saving the nation. It is a mourning poem, which is mainly about "mourning" and is closely related to the first chapter of the group poem "Song of the Yellow River Boatman" in structure. "The Yellow River Boatman Song" describes: "Dark clouds are gathering in the sky, and the stormy waves are lapping on the shore. The Yellow River boatmen fought in the wind and rain and finally reached the other side after hardships. " This symbolizes that our great nation and people have broken through the difficulties of the storm and finally won a brilliant victory. "

So in the second chapter "Yellow River Fu", the poet appeared as a singer of the times. Standing on the top of the mountain, he sang the Yellow River ode on behalf of the hero's motherland, eulogized the magnificent momentum and long history of the Yellow River with surging passion, and gave birth to and great protection to the Chinese nation. He also expressed his determination to learn the spirit of the Yellow River and make it as great and powerful as it. The whole poem expresses the thoughts and feelings of defending the Yellow River and China with heroism and strong determination.

hierarchy configuration

At the beginning, the poet directly called the readers "friends" by addressing them, which was the need for the poet to express his feelings, directly revealed the image of the Yellow River and its national spirit, and pointed out the theme of "praising the Yellow River". Then there is "Looking", which depicts the surging waves, "turbid current" and mighty momentum of the Yellow River.

Then praise the Yellow River in three levels: praise the Yellow River for nurturing the Chinese nation; Praise the historical contribution of the Yellow River, like a natural barrier to defend the Chinese nation; Point out the geographical advantages of the Yellow River and praise the Yellow River for nourishing the spirit of the Chinese nation. Finally, from reality to fiction, he praised the vast territory of the Yellow River and benefited all living beings, and issued an oath to learn from it on behalf of the people of China.

Next, I put pen to paper, and the description of the image of the Yellow River originated from my imagination, which led to the content of "the Central Plains is divided into two", which is both realistic and magnificent, clear and rigorous:

First, the close-up shot-"the waves are rough,/set off a huge wave"; Then there is the general writing method of overlooking the panorama-"Turbid flow turns around,/forming a zigzag chain"; Then it describes the flow direction of the Yellow River vertically-"from the foot of Kunlun Mountain/to the Yellow Sea"; Finally, it spread horizontally to both sides of the Yellow River basin-"splitting the Central Plains in two". It can be said that the level is clear and coherent, which lays a good foundation for the later "Fu".

Ode to the Yellow River has a passionate melody, great momentum, strong impact and shocking power, which shows the unruly blood of the Yellow River and the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation. Writing has several characteristics.

First, the use of metaphor and symbol. Ode to the Yellow River is unfolded through three metaphors. At first, the author compared the Yellow River to "the cradle of the nation" and "the cradle of 5,000 years of ancient culture", and highly praised the role of the Yellow River in the process of historical development. "How many heroic stories are staged around you." Take a point and highlight the great influence of the Yellow River in the historical process. Then the author compares the Yellow River to a "national barrier" and writes the image of the Yellow River as "like a giant".

"Building a barrier for our nation" embodies the protective role of the Yellow River. Finally, the author compares the Yellow River to "the great spirit of the nation" and "a torrent, a mighty river", and writes that the unstoppable momentum of the Yellow River will grow and develop under your nurturing, which reflects the spiritual nourishment of the Yellow River to the Chinese nation. Praise the greatness of the Yellow River from these three aspects.

Second, the rhyme is bright and vigorous, with distinct rhythm and loud syllables. The whole poem is mainly composed of short sentences and long sentences, which are combined with length, free and unrestrained, and patchwork. In rhyme, every two or three sentences rhyme to form a natural and harmonious rhythm. For example, three "ah! Yellow River! " Repeated appearance, combined with the following figurative sentences, reflects the emotional tone of the whole poem.

The artistic power of Ode to the Yellow River first comes from the literary beauty of expression. The whole article is full of literary talent, and the ancient style still exists, showing its unique style. The poet properly absorbed some beautiful and concise classical Chinese words, which made the language colorful and vivid, thus forming a grand and magnificent artistic feature.

The sentence length of the whole article varies greatly, ranging from three words to seventeen words. The language rhythm produced by this kind of free verse sentence pattern is strong and changeable, which freely and fully expresses the specific emotional content. The whole language has a loud rhythm and is catchy to read.
