Who is flying in the sky with this rainbow?

Creation background

1929, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and Chen Yi led more than 3,600 main forces of the Red Army and left Jinggangshan in early spring this year to attack Gannan. Because of the enemy's heavy encirclement and pursuit, and because they came to other places and were strangers, GongSiJun lost all five wars along the way. On the Lunar New Year's Eve this year, as soon as the Gongsijun arrived in Ruijin, the Kuomintang Jiangxi Army followed. Seeing that the number of the enemy was small, Mao Zedong decided to fight again. The fighter plane has arrived. Good luck. The Red Army calmly deployed troops and laid a pocket array in Mazi 'ao, Dabaidi, about 30 kilometers north of Ruijin. From 3 pm the next day until noon the next day, we finally defeated the enemy and won the first major victory since the battle. The place of victory is the place of cypress trees.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/933, Mao Zedong came to another big cypress country, and this time he was in a bad mood. 1932 After the meeting of C.O. Ningdu in the Soviet area in mid-June, Mao Zedong was rejected by Wang Ming's "Left" adventurism line, and was dismissed as a member of the General Political Committee of the Red Army, so he went to the local area to preside over the Chinese Soviet Union. This summer (1933), he led the field investigation movement in the Central Soviet Area and returned to Dabaidi because of his research work. Facing the battlefield of the former Kingoma Railway, he wrote this poem emotionally.

works appreciation

This is a poem recalling the war, but there is no fierce grief and indignation, and there is no bloody war scene. Only the beauty of mountains and rivers is vivid. Memories are beautiful, as long as they become the past, they will become cordial memories, especially when poets rely on the battlefield of victory in the past, and the beautiful scenery around them in summer dusk is quiet and green. It seems that grateful nature now understands the poet's happy mood.

Mao Zedong, a poet, didn't express his poems on the spot to denounce the enemy with the fierce feelings of "the heavenly soldiers will be angry with the people" like the two "fishermen's pride" who wrote "Dead Hua Lian from Tingzhou to Changsha" or the first and second big "encirclement and suppression". Instead, it is easy to stop and look closely, miss the scene and look back.

The poet broke the old pattern and content, described the battlefield scenery with optimistic and heroic passion and revolutionary romanticism, and praised the fearless fighting spirit and revolutionary heroism of the soldiers and civilians in the revolutionary base areas.

From the beginning, this word is used to describe the clear landscape after the rain in summer evening. First of all, it was written from the evening sky at sunset. First, the seven-color characters, each of which is abrupt and strange, have the feeling of surprise. At the same time, it also gives us a vivid picture of a beautiful summer night. Then the second sentence is bolder and more implicit. Who is dancing with a rainbow in his hand? It seems that the poet has been integrated into it; Who will describe and master this picturesque scenery? What makes people read is the poet himself. He is the painter of this kind of beautiful scenery, the changer of this kind of beautiful scenery, and the real master of this kind of "red rain turning waves at will".

Then from the sky to the sunset glow and green hills in front of us, the mountains are particularly green after the rain at dusk, and the beautiful twilight shines against the setting sun. Of these three or four sentences, the third sentence uses the phrase "sunset after rain" written by Huajian poets, but it does not fall into the graceful and restrained style of Huajian poets. One of the words "Fu" is more weighty and confident than the word "Que", but the word "Que" is more euphemistic and lighter. Moreover, the scenery in the fourth sentence is also magnificent, especially the word "burst", which has a terrible spread. The word "Guanshan" also begins with an image, and the last word "Cang" is full of charm and boundless feeling.

The first two paragraphs of the second half sentence clarify the theme of this poem, and the first half sentence is about today's scenery (that is, the scenery of Dabaidi in the summer of 1933). The fierce fighting in those days has now become a mass of smoke, only after the rain, there are still some bullet holes on the wall. These memories are not random, but will immediately create a new artistic conception for us: "Decorate this mountain and look better today." This is indeed an unprecedented new discovery of beauty, because in the eyes of ordinary people, bullet holes are ugly things, but in the eyes of poets, everything is happy. Use these bullet holes to decorate the rivers and mountains of the motherland. It looks particularly beautiful in the clear sky after the rain at dusk in summer. Because it shows a new landscape, the poet also foresees a new world here.
