What does Mao Zedong mean by "Yongmei"?

Flying snowflakes are welcoming the arrival of spring again.

It's already coldest when it's frozen,

There are beautiful plum blossoms on the edge of the cliff.

Plum blossoms are beautiful, but they don't show off.

Just to tell people that spring is coming.

When the flowers are in full bloom, she will feel extremely gratified.

Operator Yongmei.

Author: Mao Zedong

Original text:

Read Lu You's Yongmei Ci, and use it in reverse.

The spring departed in wind and rain; With flying snow it’s back again.

Although the icicles on the cliff are still hanging for miles. There is a sweet flower in it.

Joe doesn't fight for spring, he only reports it.

When the flowers bloom, she laughs in the bushes.

Note: 1, divination symbol: epigraph name, several names used in Luo poetry, called divination symbol. The word "like holding, selling divination" means selling divination. 2, the wind and rain send spring home: Xin Qiji's "Fishing", "can eliminate several storms, spring back."

Translation:

Wind and rain send spring,

Flying snowflakes are welcoming the arrival of spring again.

It's already coldest when it's frozen,

There are beautiful plum blossoms on the edge of the cliff.

Plum blossoms are beautiful, but they don't show off.

Just to tell people that spring is coming.

When the flowers are in full bloom, she will feel extremely gratified.

This was written by Mao Zedong after reading Lu You's inscription. It was written in 196 1 65438+February, and was first published in People's Literature Publishing House196365438+February. Plum blossoms written by China literati are often symbols of individuality or directions of interest. Due to different aesthetic tastes and different moods when reciting, the charm and taste of plum blossoms in their works are different.

Plum blossom is the eternal theme of ancient literati in China for thousands of years. Lin Hejing, a great hermit in Song Dynasty, loved plum blossoms and kept singing plum blossom poems. With the feeling of "wife plum crane" in plum blossom, he can be said to be a scholar who loves plum blossom most. Chairman Mao's Yongmei Ci is based on Lu You, which is quite different from Lu You's Ci. Lu You's lonely and noble description of plum blossoms attracted the envy and jealousy of flowers. Chairman's poem, however, describes the beauty, positivity and loyalty of plum blossom, smiling without worry, but with the integrity and lofty sentiments of revolutionaries in the new era. There are countless poems written by China about Mei, and the great artistic conception is similar to the great one. Chairman Mao made an extraordinary move with the demeanor of a great poet. A poem by Yongmei swept away the sadness, depression and seclusion of literati in the past, creating a new landscape and atmosphere, which is amazing and convincing.

There is a quotation before the word Mao Zedong: "Read Lu You's Yongmei's Ci, and use it in the opposite direction." It shows the opportunity of creation. "Wind and rain send spring home, flying snow welcomes spring." The first sentence of the word is like a clever pen, showing a mind and boldness obviously different from that of Lu You. "Storm" and "Flying Snow" point out the changes of the four seasons and the replacement of time. Spring Return and Spring Solstice focus on the movement of things, which not only creates a sense of time flow for the whole article, but also prepares for the following description of plum in the snow. The words are tall and straight, and the momentum is high.

Next, the phrase "It is already a cliff full of ice" depicts the harsh living environment of plum blossoms in the cold winter. But in the sinister environment and sinister atmosphere, even "there are beautiful flowers." "Cliff" shows that the environment is so steep, "Baizhang Ice" shows that Han Wei is so cool, and the plum blossoms on Baizhang Cliff in Ivylinna Lee are beautiful. The word "Qiao" not only depicts the gorgeous form of plum blossom, but also embodies the spiritual temperament of plum blossom that is tall and straight and heroic in flowers. The plum blossom in the author's works is full of lofty sentiments, the hard ice does not damage its bones, the flying snow can't hide its beauty, and the obstacles can't ruin its ambition, which is in sharp contrast with the plum blossom image "narcissism" and "loneliness at dusk" in Lu You's works.

Combined with the writing background of the word Mao Zedong, the author's portrayal of plum blossom in this way has profound political implications. At that time, China suffered three years of natural disasters. The leaders of the former Soviet Union provoked the Sino-Soviet debate and exerted political, economic and military pressure on China, which severely tested the country. "This is a cliff full of ice" is a symbol of the political environment at that time. As the leader of China * * * production party, Mao Zedong wrote this poem for me, which shows the determination of China * * * production party, never giving in in a sinister environment, bravely meeting the challenge until the final victory. Although "it is a cliff full of ice", "there are still flowers and branches"-the producer of China * * * is a plum blossom that stands proudly in frost and snow. It is a beautiful "flower branch".

Year after year, wind and rain bring spring back, but heavy snow welcomes spring back. Even though there are hundreds of ice ridges on the cliffs of the county, plum blossoms stand out from the crowd in the face of such a grand and cold winter scene. Poets, of course, also follow the old adage, expressing their aspirations with poems and sending their aspirations through Mei. In this grim juncture of "the sky is crisp and the cold current is urgent" (that is, there were three years of natural disasters in China at that time, and the struggle against imperialism and revisionism was fierce), poets encouraged themselves and comforted others with plum blossoms in full bloom in the dead of winter, and should learn from them. In such a steep situation, they bravely met the challenge and showed their handsomeness. The poet uses the word "Qiao" very well, and the plum blossom image that has never appeared here appears on this word. This is the image of a happy person, a confident person and a winner Of course, this is not only the plum blossom image in the poet's eyes, but also the image of the poet himself and the producer of China. How many layers of profound meaning does this "Qiao" contain? It is aggressive and never gives in.

In the following film, the author compares plum blossom to the messenger of spring and further praises it enthusiastically. The English poet Shelley sang in ode to the west wind: "Winter has come, can spring be far behind?" Plum blossoms in full bloom in winter are the earliest messengers of spring. "Joe doesn't fight for spring, he only reports spring." This selfless and unrequited nature makes the image of plum blossom more full.

Finally, the author concludes with "When the flowers bloom, she laughs among the flowers", which pushes the realm of ci to a higher level. Spring has come, the world is full of soft and warm breath, and finally the mountain flowers on the cliff are brilliant and gorgeous. Plum blossoms ushered in a splendid spring with their sincerity. The original plum blossom stands out from the crowd, proudly tall and straight, without the slightest jealousy, but very gratifying, peacefully hidden in the brilliant spring. The word "Laughter in the Bush" vividly describes the joy of plum blossom and mountain flower enjoying spring scenery, especially the word "laugh", which shows the charm of plum blossom-both humble and refined, and open-minded, which greatly sublimates the artistic realm of the word. In Lu You's original words, plum blossom is "envied by many people". Contrary to many flowers, he pretends to be lofty with "fragrance as usual", showing his feelings of narcissism. At the end of the word, plum blossom's demeanor of "laughing in the bushes" stands out. From the perspective of self-metaphor, it includes the externalization of his personality interest; Further extension shows the lofty virtue and dedication that party member enjoyed after struggling first.

The structure of this Yongmei Ci is exquisite and harmonious. In shaping the image of plum blossom, the first film focuses on the background, comparing the object with the background, so that plum blossom has a strong challenge spirit; The following film takes the object as the center, highlighting the sentiment that plum blossom is willing to hide in the flowers, and giving plum blossom a bright and cheerful personality. A word "Qiao" becomes a bridge of transition and naturalizes the realm of ci.
