Chapter 25 Qingpingle Liupan Mountain

The sky is high and the clouds are light, looking at the geese flying south. , 20,000 strokes. . , when will the Canglong be bound? This poem was first published in the January 1957 issue of "Poetry". This song "Qing Ping Le" was written by Mao Zedong in October 1935 when the Red Army crossed the last natural barrier during the Long March.The upper and lower lines of the poems are all about the scene first, and then express their aspirations, opening and closing vertically and horizontally, with a myriad of scenes, successfully connecting the magnificent and magnificent scene of Liupan Mountain with the heroic feelings in the author's heart, and complementing each other.

The opening sentence "The sky is high and the clouds are clear, looking at the geese flying south" is rich in meaning.It first conveys the author's resting state after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and breaking through the encirclement.At this time, Mao Zedong had already led his troops to the top of Liupan Mountain, got rid of the chasing and intercepting enemy troops, and also tricked the heavily guarded south of Hu Zong in Xi'an. Not far ahead, the Soviet area in northern Shaanxi was looming.Therefore, the magnificence and tranquility of the top of Liupan Mountain and the author's inner peace and comfort have the deepest fit at this time; "the sky is high and the clouds are light" just reflects this inner emotional relief.However, this relief is not a passive, thankful psychological expression, it contains the author's firm belief and extraordinary wisdom.From "Looking at the Southern Flying Geese", it can be seen that the poet is facing the long wind and looking far away. A posture overlooking the mountains and rivers and reaching the sky is vivid on the paper, which shows that the poet's ambition has not been affected by the hardships and hardships of the Long March. Mao Zedong, who walked out of the encirclement, is quietly appreciating the mountains and rivers, and his chest is still full of broad ideals.At the same time, "Looking at the South Flying Geese" also reflects the wisdom of the poet.Wild geese flying south and the Red Army going north are a direct comparison, but this comparison actually shows the strategic deal between the Red Army and the Kuomintang troops. In September 1935, Mao Zedong led the main force of the Red Army over the Minshan Mountains and arrived at Hadapu, a small town in Dangchang County, southern Gansu.Here, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai learned that there are still several Red Army units in northern Shaanxi, and there are red bases there.Therefore, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee decided to take northern Shaanxi as the direction and future base of the Central Red Army.However, Chiang Kai-shek thought that since the Red Army had broken through Lazikou, it might march towards Tianshui and threaten Xi'an, so he sent Hu Zongnan and other troops to concentrate troops to guard the front line of Tianshui to prevent the Red Army from advancing eastward. Liupan Mountain, go north.This is a face-to-face struggle between the strategic thinking of the two armies.The strategic shift of the Red Army was beyond Chiang Kai-shek's expectations.Therefore, there are too many deep meanings in the phrase "Looking at the Southern Flying Geese": there is a quiet moment to appreciate nature, a broad mind to tolerate the great rivers and mountains in the heart, and strategic wisdom to plan strategies.

In the second sentence of Shangyu, "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and you can travel 20,000 miles." With a change of pen, the poet recovered his high-spirited fighting spirit from a moment of rest and peace, and compared the Red Army's arduous Long March to a trip, a trip to the Great Wall travel.Indeed, the Great Wall Pass is in the front Soviet area.The poet took the Great Wall, a symbol of heroic spirit in ancient battlefields, as his goal, and performed a spiritual baptism for himself and the soldiers of the army after exhaustion and rest.Because, such a description makes the Long March no longer a passive transfer, but a poetic trip of the warriors to nostalgia. Because of the background of war, this kind of nostalgia can resonate historical memory and real revolution, and can make the Red Army The soldiers experienced the martial spirit and heroic sacrifice of the heroes of the past dynasties.Therefore, "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero", it not only shows the danger of climbing the Great Wall, expresses the pain along the way, but also makes people strengthen their heroic spirit in the memory of history and enhance people's spiritual realm. "Twenty thousand trips on the fingers of a finger" shows a kind of relaxed and unconcerned heroism, and all the difficulties and dangers seem to disappear with a snap of the fingers.The atmosphere of the poet is vivid on the paper, which can also bring spiritual sublimation to the readers.

The first sentence of the next line, "Liupan Mountain rises to the peak, and the red flag rolls across the west wind", is followed by the lyric and chanting of the last line of the last line, turning the place where the pen was written to the realistic scene of Liupan Mountain.Looking around, there are many peaks, far and near scattered, and you can have a panoramic view.However, this is not the crux of the picture. The crux is that the flag of the Red Army is flying on the mountain peak.This flag towers high on the top of the mountain, stretching and fluttering in response to the wild west wind.This is the power of faith, the power of persistence!During these most painful years, followers of the faith lived and died together, and finally got out of the siege.The word "manjuan" highly condensedly shows that the power of the revolution is still strong, still unrestrained and free, and still dares to fight it on the cusp of the storm, which symbolizes that the flame of hope for the revolution is burning brightly.Therefore, the first sentence of Xiayu returns to the reality of Liupan Mountain, which is by no means a repetition.The emotion it expresses has gone a step further than the first sentence of the last line. What we see is no longer peace and rest, personal mind and wisdom, but the lofty and respectable revolutionary collective and the strong vitality of revolutionary belief.The form has returned to the starting point, but the emotion has a new style.The last sentence of the next line "I have the long tassel in my hand today, when will I bind the Canglong", just like the last sentence of the last line, it starts from the real scene in front of me and directly expresses my inner feelings and ambitions.But there has also been an advancement in the content of the performance.The last sentence of the last sentence is to seek the spirit of martial arts and bravery between ancient and modern wars, talking and laughing, and lifting weights with the fingers; while the feelings and will expressed in the last sentence of the next sentence seem to have completed self-affirmation and self-sublimation, and have more For specific fighting impulses.The poet holds the "long tassel" in his hand, and a moment of rest and emotion is enough. The fatigue and distress have been swept away, and the passion and strength have long been restored.The poet is fully prepared for battle, just waiting for the "horn-blowing company" to go into battle to capture the dragon. The word "when" shows the poet's inner desire to fight at this time.

This poem has an open scene, rich connotations, successive transitions, and clear layers. It can be called a masterpiece in terms of artistic conception and artistic structure.It has been widely circulated in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. During the War of Liberation, Yan'an Radio Station often recited and played it.Even today, we can also appreciate the hardships of the years and the grandeur of the leaders in this work.
