Extended information:

"Qinyuan Spring·Snow"

The scenery of the northern country is covered with ice for thousands of miles and snow drifting for thousands of miles. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the river up and down suddenly stops flowing. The silver snake dances in the mountains, and the original wax figure wants to compete with God. On a sunny day, it is particularly charming to see the red clothes and plain clothes.

The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down. I regret that Emperor Qin and Han Wu were slightly less talented in literature; Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Dynasty were slightly less elegant. The genius of the generation, Genghis Khan, only knew how to bend a bow and shoot at giant eagles. It's all gone, let's count the famous people, but let's look at the present.

Translation

The scenery in the north is covered with ice and snowflakes for thousands of miles. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, all that is left is boundless white; the vast Yellow River up and down suddenly lost its surging momentum.

The mountains are like silver-white pythons flying, and the hills on the plateau are like many white elephants running. They all want to compete with God. You have to wait until it's a sunny day to see the bright red sunshine and the white snow and ice complement each other, which is particularly beautiful.

Jiangshan is so charming that countless heroes fall in love with her. It is a pity that Qin Shihuang and Han Wu Emperor were slightly less talented in literature; Tang Taizong and Song Taizu were slightly less talented in literature and governance. Genghis Khan, the man who dominated the world, only knew how to draw a bow and shoot at giant eagles.

All of these characters have passed away. Whether they can be called heroes who have made great achievements depends on the people today.

Creative background

In 1936, the Red Army organized the Eastern Expedition troops to prepare to cross the Yellow River eastward to fight against the Japanese army. When the Red Army set out from Zichang County and advanced to the Yuanjiagou area in Gaojie Village, Qingjian County, the troops rested here for 16 days.

From February 5th to 20th, when Mao Zedong lived here, there was a heavy snowfall. The inside and outside of the Great Wall were covered with snow, and the raised Qinjin Plateau was covered with ice and snow. The weather was so cold that even the normally roaring Yellow River was covered with a thick layer of ice and lost its former waves. Mao Zedong was staying at the home of farmer Bai Zhimin late at night. Seeing this scene, I was very moved and wrote this poem.

"Qinyuan Spring·Snow" was first published in Chongqing's "Xinmin Daily Evening Edition" on November 14, 1945, and later officially published in the January 1957 issue of "Poetry Magazine".
