theme

This poem describes the beautiful posture of plum blossom, which is arrogant, cold and open. The plum blossom described by the poet, first of all, the plum blossom itself, shows the characteristics of the plum blossom-not afraid of the cold, opening on the ice cliff, but not limited to the plum blossom itself, symbolizing the revolutionaries. Xiaque shows its spiritual character, showing the moving scene of plum blossom not afraid of cold from the outside to the inside. The whole poem expresses a man's revolutionary optimism and his determination and confidence to overcome all difficulties with Mei Yan's ambition.

Distinguish and appreciate

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.

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. Lu You's ci emphasizes the word "sorrow", while Mao Zedong's ci emphasizes the word "smile". In sharp contrast, both authors have experienced hardships and different faces and moods.

"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 give the whole article a sense of time flow, but also prepare for the following description of plum in the snow, with tall and straight words and high momentum.

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 plum blossoms are very beautiful on this cliff in Baizhang, Ivylinna Lee. The word "Qiao" not only depicts the gorgeous form of plum blossom, but also shows the spirit and characteristics of plum blossom, which is tall and straight, heroic in flowers and not afraid of cold. 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, and the former Soviet Union provoked the Sino-Soviet debate and exerted political, economic and military pressure on China. At this time, China's national strength is going through a severe test before it becomes rich. "This is a cliff full of ice" is a symbol of the political environment at that time. As the leader of China, Mao Zedong wrote this poem for me, which shows the determination of the people of China, never giving in in a sinister environment, and bravely meeting the challenge until the final victory. Although "it is a cliff full of ice", "there are still beautiful flowers"-China * * * is a plum blossom standing proudly in frost and snow. It is a beautiful "flower branch".

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 among the bushes" vividly describes the joy of plum blossom and mountain flower sharing spring scenery, especially the word "laugh", which shows the charm of plum blossom-the spirit of modesty, elegance and generosity, and 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 of * * * people who struggle first and enjoy the future.

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 cheerful personality. A word "Qiao" becomes a bridge of transition and naturalizes the realm of ci.

Make an appreciative comment

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 Operator Yongmei is based on Lu You's Yongmei Ci, which is quite different from that written by Lu You. 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.

Year after year, the wind and rain send spring back, but the snow is flying all over the sky. Even though there are hundreds of ice ridges on the precipice, plum blossoms still stand out in the face of such a grand and cold winter scene. Of course, poets proudly express their feelings with poems and borrow plum blossoms. In this grim juncture of "the sky is crisp and the cold current is urgent" (that is, the natural disaster in China for three years at that time and the fierce struggle against imperialism and revisionism was going on), the poet encouraged himself and comforted others with plum blossoms in full bloom in the dead of winter, and should learn from them. Under such steep circumstances, he bravely met the challenge and showed his chic. 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 people of China. How many layers of profound meaning does this "Qiao" contain? It is aggressive and never gives in.

In the following film, the poet deeply guided the image of plum blossom. Although it is beautiful, it does not deprive us of the beauty of spring. It is just the messenger of spring, bringing us the information of spring. However, when the cold winter passed and spring was everywhere, Meihua was alone, living in seclusion among the flowers, giving a happy laugh. Plum blossoms, in the eyes of poets, are soldiers. It fights the cold, just to win the spring, announce the coming of spring, and then retreat. It does not deprive the beauty of spring. This image is selfless and silently dedicated. Here, the poet greatly deepened the image of Plum Blossom, making it an image of an international communist fighter, and changed from a revolutionary in China to a revolutionary in the world. In New China, the image of plum blossom has become more plump and tall after being shaped by poets.

Appreciation 2

In China literature, there are countless poems praising plum blossoms. From emperors, nobles to civilian scribes, Yongmei's works emerge one after another. Yongmei people may fall in love with the fragrance of plum blossoms and focus on depicting their graceful charm; Or admire its noble quality and inject some personal feelings into the description. Rich and powerful people can go to Yongmei to show their ease and elegance, or carve chapters and sentences to show their talents. Poor and unlucky people also use plum to express their feelings, or to express their grievances, or to express their desire to be free from vulgarity. Therefore, plum blossom appeared in China's ancient poems with its colorful features, either graceful and touching, or self-pity, or sad and depressed, or arrogant, or charming, or elegant and smart, or gorgeous. In short, because the author's creative environment and intention are different, he has different forms and personal interests. Mao Zedong's Yongmei was written in 1966543.

Lu You was a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, who wrote a lot of poems in his life. Many of his poems express patriotic feelings, and at the same time, because his patriotic thoughts have been suppressed, there are also bumps and setbacks in his works. This poem entitled "The Sailor of Yongmei" is an example. In ci, Lu You compared himself to plum blossom, showing a desolate state of mind of narcissism. Although the plum blossoms in the ci are extremely fragrant, they are envied by "everyone", destroyed by "wind" and "rain", and finally "smashed into mud and ground into dust", only the fragrance remains the same. The plum blossom here is undoubtedly a portrayal of Lu You's own situation and personality, which not only reflects his lofty and aloof unwillingness to conform to the world, but also reflects his loneliness and helplessness after being hit. The whole poem is full of tragic atmosphere, including "broken bridge", "dusk", "wind" and "rain", which makes people feel gloomy and depressed. The tragedy of the times and personal misfortune cast a deep shadow on Yongmei described by Lu You.

Mao Zedong's Yongmei is written in the original tune of Lu Ci after reading Lu You's works. Similarly, as the author said in the preface, Yongmei "used it against his will". The plum blossom image in his ci and its poetic style are completely opposite to Lu You's original ci. In Yongmei's ci, Mao Zedong is unique.

The first two sentences "Wind and rain send spring home, flying snow welcomes spring" point out the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom. At this time, winter is about to pass, and the god of spring is coming. Although there are "wind and rain" and "flying snow" in the sentence, it gives people a feeling different from the coldness and depression of Lu Ci, but it is for joy, especially "flying snow to welcome the spring", which sets a lively tone for the whole poem. "The cliff is already a hundred feet of ice, and there are beautiful flowers." The earth is still covered with silver, the traces of the severe winter have not faded, and there are still hundreds of feet of hard ice on the cliff that have not melted, but the breath of Kechun has emerged early, that is, plum blossoms proudly blooming in the snow and ice. These two sentences show that plum blossom is not afraid of cold in cold environment, which effectively highlights the characteristics of plum blossom. The white snow sets off the pretty image of plum blossom more brightly, and at the same time, the frozen environment also points out the "early" of plum blossom opening, paving the way for the next plum blossom spring.

Plum blossoms spread the message of spring returning to the earth to people before flowering, so there is a saying that "beauty does not compete for spring, but only reports spring". It is conceivable that people who have experienced the cold winter will be surprised and excited when they suddenly see beautiful plum blossoms in the snow and ice. This "beautiful flower" is undoubtedly the messenger of spring, a symbol of life, and the first petal sown by the goddess of spring wherever she goes. Compared with Fang Qun, she was the first person to get this kind of atmosphere, so she also attracted attention. However, she is so humble that she is not in a hurry to give, just silently and humbly smiling, without any arrogance. What a big tolerance! The author fully personifies the plum blossom here, endowing her with lofty character, which makes people feel more cordial to read. "When the flowers bloom, she laughs among the flowers", and the last two sentences make the image of plum blossom more perfect. The footprint of the goddess of spring has finally spread all over the earth, and everywhere she goes, flowers are like brocade, which is particularly gorgeous. Plum blossoms, like many mountain flowers, are laughing in the spring breeze at the moment. She doesn't care about gains and losses, nor does she pursue fame and fortune, and she doesn't want to get ahead and monopolize the spring scenery. This is the magnanimity of an open-minded person and a true portrayal of selfless devotees. The author excavated this noble quality from the characteristics of plum blossom.

The style of the whole word is light, and the anthropomorphic writing highlights the distinctive and vivid character of plum blossom. The language is also plain and fluent, which looks beautiful and natural, without the spirit of carving agriculture and animal husbandry. The artistic conception is lofty and intriguing, which makes people feel noble sentiments while enjoying plum blossoms. Among the numerous Yongmei Ci poems in past dynasties, this one is novel in conception, unique in style, rich in the flavor of the times, and gives people a unique aesthetic feeling.
