From: Mao Zedong's Seven Laws Long March

Original poem:

Qilu long March

Mao Zedong

The red army is not afraid of the expedition, and Qianshan is just idle.

Wuling makes waves, and Wumeng takes mud pills.

Jinsha River is warm in the clouds and cliffs, and Dadu Bridge is cold with the cross rail.

I'm glad to see that Minshan Mountain is covered with snow and stretches for miles. Our soldiers crossed it and showed a bright smile.

Explanation:

The Red Army is not afraid of all the difficulties and hardships on the Long March, and regards Qian Shan as ordinary.

In the eyes of the red army, the continuous five mountains are just the ups and downs of microwave waves, and the majestic Wumeng Mountain is just a mud pill.

The Jinsha River is full of turbid waves, patting the towering cliffs and steaming. The cross frame of the dangerous bridge on the Dadu River is shaking the iron rope hanging high in the air, and the chill bursts.

What is more gratifying is that when we set foot on the snowy Minshan Mountain, everyone was smiling after the Red Army crossed it.

Extended data

1934 10 The Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants started the world-famous Long March from Ruijin, Jiangxi, in order to crush the encirclement and suppression of the National Government, preserve its own strength, go north to resist Japan and save the nation from peril.

The first seven laws were written by Red Army soldiers after crossing Minshan Mountain and shortly before the end of the Long March. As the leader of the Red Army, Mao Zedong has withstood numerous tests. Now, dawn is coming and victory is in sight. He wrote this magnificent poem with excitement.

The first couplet comes straight to the point, praising the revolutionary spirit of the Red Army, which is not afraid of difficulties, brave and tenacious. This is the central idea of the whole article and the artistic tone of the whole poem. It is the beginning of the whole poem spirit and the end of the whole poem artistic conception.

The four sentences "Zhuanlian" and "Jinglian" describe the Red Army's victory over difficulties from two aspects: mountain and water, which are inherited from the above "Qianshan" and "Wanshui". According to the route of the Red Army's Long March, the poet selected four typical place names, all of which are famous natural disasters, and highly summarized the "Qian Shan Wanshui" on the way of the Red Army's Long March.

In his works, Mao Zedong does not worship historical celebrities or praise contemporary heroes, because he stands at the highest point of historical development and uses the latest historical materialism, which makes his comments on ancient times have unprecedented great "qi". This feature is that the imperial poets Cao Cao and Su Shi, who are famous for their great boldness of vision, can't compare with him.

Mao Zedong's poems combine rich imagination, clever metaphor, bold exaggeration, historical stories, myths and legends, creating a unique artistic image and showing the writer's rich emotions and inner world with thousands of gestures.

In Mao's poems, ancient poems are often used to give new ideas and play an unexpected role in expression. For example, the poem "Man Jianghong and Comrade Guo Moruo" and "West Wind Stay in Chang 'an" is the poem "Autumn wind gives birth to Wei River, fallen leaves cover Chang 'an" written by Jia Dao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Described the end of the international anti-China forces at that time. Autumn wind and fallen leaves are also vivid and reminiscent.

Mao Zedong's poems cast a beautiful palace in the reader's mind; This natural beauty is Mao Zedong's artistic tolerance and spiritual sublimation of the beauty of nature and social life.
