Appreciation of the works of Qijue·Guanchao

In the poem "Qijue·Guan Tide" written by the poet, the momentum is like a rainbow from beginning to end. This not only describes the momentum of the Qiantang tide, but also writes the consistent momentum of the poet's own heart. . The inner atmosphere and the exterior scenery are coupled at the same time, which can be described as a true natural creation. The majesty of the country meets a bosom friend who can truly understand it. Of course, the storm in the heart of this bosom friend (that is, the poet) can only be accommodated by the country thousands of miles away.

In the poet's eyes, the Qiantang tide has a magnificent lineup, rushing back and forth, with the potential of "gold and iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger". It is true that only a great poet like Chairman Mao could achieve such a majestic and joyful work in one go.

"Thousands of miles of waves rolling in, snowflakes flying towards the Diaoyutai," the poet closely followed the word "guan" in the title "Guan Tide" to describe the momentum of the Qiantang River tide in detail: "Thousands of miles" refers to the width of the water area; "Rolling in" refers to the rapidity of the waves. Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Ascend the High": "The wind is strong and the apes high in the sky whistle and mourn, and the white birds fly back in the clear sand of Zhugong. The boundless falling trees rustle, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in. The sad autumn of thousands of miles is often a guest. , who has been sick for a hundred years and has been on stage alone. He has endured hardships and suffered from frost on his temples, and his wine glass has become dull and dirty. "

"Diaoyu Tai" is located on the Fuchun River in the middle of the Qiantang River. According to legend, it was the birthplace of Yan Guang in the Eastern Han Dynasty. (Ziling) Live in seclusion at a fishing place. "Snowflakes fly to the Diaoyutai" refers to the waves formed by pushing back and flying towards the Diaoyutai, describing the majestic momentum of the tidal wave, moving up the river and being unstoppable. Cao Rong, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem in "The River is Red: Watching the Tide in Qiantang" that says "the chaotic waves pass through Yantan to rest", which means the same as "snowflakes fly to the Diaoyutai".

“The crowds of people praised the vastness of the lineup, and the iron horses calmly killed the enemy.” The crowds of spectators praised the vastness of the surging tide, just like the mighty army returning in triumph and being cheered and supported by the people. welcome. "Mountain of people" describes that there are many people watching the tide, not only standing densely, but also standing on top of each other in uneven heights, forming a mountain of people; "Many praise the vast lineup" means that the people watching the tide are praising the formation of the tide. It is vast and majestic. "The crowds of people praised the large lineup," highlighting the reactions of other spectators.

"Iron horse" is an ancient war horse equipped with iron armor, and also refers to a powerful army. During Mao Zedong's military life, he naturally thought of "the sound of a hundred thousand troops" from watching the tide. The word "calm" expresses calmness and fearlessness.

The poem "The iron horse calmly kills the enemy and returns" is derived from Lu You's "I lie down at night and listen to the wind and rain, and the iron horse dreams of the glacier people" ("The Storm and Rain on November 4th"), This is Mao Zedong’s overall feeling and imagination of watching the tide.

Creative background:

On September 11, 1957, Mao Zedong was inspecting work in Hangzhou and it happened to be the traditional tide watching festival of Qiantang River. , Mao Zedong and his entourage dressed in casual clothes went to Yanguan Town, the best place for tide watching. There were so many people here that they had to go to the outskirts of town to watch the tide instead, near the Qili Temple. On that day, the weather was sunny and hot, and Mao Zedong took a nap in a small temporary tent set up by the guards. When the Qiantang River surged, Mao Zedong stepped out of his tent and looked out.

I saw the surging tide, the seawall colliding, and the layers of waves, like thousands of piles of snow. Mao Zedong pondered deeply until the river surface gradually calmed down. Then he returned to his chair and asked the guards how the tide was formed. He also told them the theory of lunar tides and said: "In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Qiantang River could Until Hangzhou, then we can stand on Wushan Mountain to watch.

Now the Qiantang Trumpet has become smaller due to sediment accumulation, so we have to go to Haining. In a few hundred years, we will also watch it in Haining. The tide is gone." Later, he stared at the Qiantang River and thought about it, and composed the song "Qijue·Guan Tide".
