Chapter 29 Five Laws · General Dai Anlan

Foreign aggression needs people to defend, and the general Fu Caiwei. , won the tiger's prestige. , to drive away the wotang and return home. . This poem was published according to the register of elegiac couplets and elegiac poems of General Dai Anlan's memorial service in 1943.It was first unofficially published in the "People's Political Consultative Conference" on December 28, 1983. It was mentioned in an article explaining the allusion of this poem. This poem is a sincere condolence to a senior general of the Kuomintang army who gave his precious life to fight against Japan.It fully shows that the Chinese Communists stand on the standpoint of the whole nation and enthusiastically support the just actions of all patriotic forces against Japanese imperialist aggression. The "Southern Anhui Incident" set off another large-scale anti-communist upsurge, and the political selfishness of disregarding the interests of the nation and the overall situation of the War of Resistance formed a sharp contrast.

Judging from the subject matter, this poem is an elegy.If the object of the elegy is an old friend of the author, it is a different matter; if the author and the person being evaded have never met, then this type of elegy belongs to the practical essay of a purely social nature.This latter type of writing is valued in its simplicity, solemnity, fairness and decentness.Mao Zedong wrote this poem in such a normative style. "Foreign aggression needs people's protection, and the general Fu Caiwei." The first couplet of the two sentences begins with the beginning of the book, that is, when General Dai Anlan led his troops into Burma to fight against Japan.The two sentences are causal.In the face of national crisis, pillars are needed urgently; brave generals are ordered to go to the battlefield generously.As soon as the poet wrote the pen, he placed the tall image of the captured person in the background of the nation's anti-aggression war, with awe-inspiring righteousness, which enveloped the whole article. The three characters of "Fu Caiwei" use the classics of expedition to the enemy, which is precise and unwavering. In the narrative, it has a graceful and unobtrusive bearing, and in the writing, it has a profound and elegant style.

"The teacher's name is mechanization, and he wins the prestige of the tiger." The two sentences in the mantra, the law-abiding confrontation, highlight the military prestige of the 200th Division under the jurisdiction of General Dai Anlan.The above sentence says that its equipment is excellent, which shows that its division is a mechanized unit.However, although weapons are very important, the decisive factor in war is still people. Therefore, the next sentence immediately emphasizes the bravery of the soldiers of the division. The writing is very thoughtful, and it embodies the viewpoint of materialist dialectics.In ancient poems, tigers and brave beasts are often used to praise the brave army, but this article says "capture the power of the tiger", which is a double wording, which is more vivid than directly using tigers to describe the powerful army.These five characters are full of spirits, and they are also a warning policy for an article. "Machinery" and "Tiger", each of which is self-aligning in this sentence, is also quite neat.

"Blood-bathed winter melon guards, drives away Japanese tang and auspicious return." The two sentences of the neck couplet still keep the law and parallel.The meaning of the speech is to further describe the war history of the 200th Division in Burma. "Donggua" and "Tangji" are translated into poems with the names of foreign battlefields, which are called "history of poetry".Many of those who attended the memorial service for General Dai Anlan were soldiers of the 200th Division. The elegy specifically mentioned their combat experience in Burma, which was very kind to them.In this way, the elegy also received a very good political effect.

The two couplets and four sentences in the middle are no longer about General Dai Anlan, but about his troops.From the point of view of composition, it seems that it is not closely connected with the previous sentence "The General Fu Caiwei"; but by carefully analyzing the author's literary mind, one can understand the brilliance of his pen.Historical materialism tells us that the subject of historical activities is the masses of the people.No matter how outstanding a general is, without his soldiers, he cannot perform a wonderful live drama on the war stage.Mr. Lu Xun said in the article "Before Genius": "Napoleon once passed the Alps and said, 'I am taller than the Alps!' How heroic this is, but don't forget that there are many soldiers behind him; Bing, he can only be caught or driven back by the enemy on the other side of the mountain. His actions and words are beyond the boundaries of heroes, and he will be classified as a lunatic... If you want to have trees and flowers, you must have good trees. Soil; without soil, there would be no flowers and trees; so soil is actually more important than flowers and trees. Flowers and trees must have soil, just like Napoleon must have good soldiers." This is the truth.Mao Zedong knew this well, so he handled the functional relationship between the general and his troops well in his poems.This one.Second, when writing a dragon, you must use clouds, without clouds, waves, mist, and waves to set off. The so-called dragon is just a big reptile with horns, beards, scales, and claws. magic?The reason why the poet devotes half of the space to describe the elite might of the general's division and the hardships and hardships experienced in the battle is that, from the perspective of artistic dialectics, it is precisely what he does not write about the general.If the spirit of soldiers is like this, and the courage of battle is like this, then what is the hero of the commander and commander?The effect of this kind of profile is sometimes equal to or even surpassed that of the frontal description.

"Death on the battlefield, ambition is not violated." The last couplets are two sentences, and the writing returns to General Dai Anlan himself, mourning the death of him and his ambition, and handing over the theme of the elegy to mourn the deceased.The word "actually" expresses the poet's shock and regret after hearing the sad news of the star's fall. The imaginary characters are vivid and full of emotion.While regretting, thinking about General Dai Anlan's dedication to the world's anti-fascist struggle and the great cause of the Chinese nation's war of resistance, I feel that his death is more honorable and more important than Mount Tai, so the conclusion is to praise his ambition. If you violate it, you have a clear conscience, and the general's heroic spirit can smile in Jiuquan.The name here is actually the "aspiration" of Zhang Zhangxian: this "aspiration" is the aspiration of General Dai Anlan, the aspiration of the poet Mao Zedong, and the aspiration of the 400 million Chinese sons and daughters of that day.Confucius said: "The three armies can take the commander, but the man cannot take the ambition." ("The Analects of Confucius Zihan") The evil bullets of the Japanese invaders can penetrate the general's body, but they cannot destroy the general's spirit.The ambition of one man is still invincible, let alone the ambition of 40,000 people?In this sense, Mao Zedong's poem is nothing more than praising a general Dai Anlan to praise the great spirit of the entire Chinese nation, who is not afraid of bloodshed, sacrifice, and vows to fight the invaders to the end.The mourning of the country and the soul of the country are exalted, the pen is heavy!Its purpose is great!
