Yan 'an, what does my backbone represent when I pursue you?

"Baota shan's indomitable backbone", literally speaking, Baota shan in Yan 'an is majestic and unyielding, just like a backbone. In a deeper sense, Baota shan represents Yan 'an and Yan 'an spirit. It is the spiritual pillar and backbone of our nation, and we must never lose it.

Just as "farewell" and "unforgettable" in the third section are in sharp contrast, "throw it away without hesitation" and "can't throw it away" in this section are also in sharp contrast. This repeatedly shows that backward production and living conditions should be changed, but the revolutionary spirit of Yan 'an should be carried forward.

Extended data:

One or two verses in the poem are devoted to the pursuit of Yan 'an spirit. The first section uses two metaphors to describe this pursuit: the pursuit of Yan' an is like the swallow's pursuit of the past spring, just like the young tree's pursuit of rain and dew and the sun. Swallows are migratory birds. They fly to the north in spring and to the south in autumn. It's cold in the north, but in spring, it's warmer and everything on the earth is full of vitality. So swallows should pursue spring scenery.

Rain and sunshine are very important to the growth of young trees, so young trees should pursue rain and sunshine. Here, the things described by the two metaphors themselves are not said and omitted. This is "We pursue Yan 'an". Yan 'an, in fact, refers to Yan 'an spirit, a vigorous spirit and an indispensable spirit for our healthy growth.
