The moral of "Xijiang Yue Jinggangshan" is: the battle flag is swaying at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of gongs and drums resounds through the hills.

1, the creative background of Xijiangyue Jinggangshan

This word should be written by Comrade Mao Zedong, praising the victory of Huang Yangjie's defending war. According to the known reference materials, the time is around September 5th in Dafen, Suichuan. When reporting the situation of defending the war to Mao, I felt it, and I happily wrote "Xijiangyue Jinggangshan".

2. Appreciation of Xijiangyue Jinggangshan

"Xijiang Yue Jinggangshan" was first disclosed in the article "Four Poems by Chairman Mao" published by Jiang Xijin in the special issue of "Commemorating the Party's Birthday" published in the July issue 1948 of Knowledge magazine sponsored by the Propaganda Department of Northeast Bureau. It was officially published in poetry magazine 1957 in June.

This word is the earliest widely recited ode to the people's revolutionary war in Mao Zedong's poems. In the glorious epic of Jinggangshan revolutionary road, this poem "Xijiang Moon" expresses the strongest sound of eulogizing the victory of "the armed regime of workers and peasants" in the form of poetry.

Although the title of "Xijiang Yue Jinggangshan" is Jinggangshan, it actually describes how Huang Yangjie won the battle of defense by winning more with less under the unfavorable situation that the enemy was strong and we were weak. On August 30th, 1928, four regiments of the enemy Xiang army Wu Shangbu and Jiangxi army Wang Junbu launched an attack on Jinggangshan when the main force of the Red Army was still in southwest Jiangxi.

The defenders of the Red Army, with less than one battalion, resisted the powerful enemy of Huang Yangjie and defeated the invading enemy in one day, thus preserving this new revolutionary base. In September, Mao Zedong led the army back to Jinggangshan, and he was very happy to hear the news of the battle of Huang Yangjie. He wrote the poem "Xijiang Moon Jinggangshan", praising the victory of the Red Army.

This is a hymn to the battle of Huang Yangjie in Jinggangshan, a glorious epic describing the revolutionary struggle in Jinggangshan, and the earliest word in many poems about revolutionary war in Mao Zedong. The title of this poem is Jinggangshan, but the content is not to describe the mountain scenery, but to write the key battle of the second anti-"suppression" war between the army and the people in Jinggangshan revolutionary base area-Huang Yangjie Defence War, and enthusiastically praise the victory of the people's armed struggle in Jinggangshan.

At the turning point of China's history, while the Communist Party of China (CPC) people are trying to explore new revolutionary strategies, Mao Zedong, as an outstanding politician, integrated his political thoughts into the imagery of poetry, and his lyric logic contained his revolutionary vision in military struggle. This is one of the most epochal and individual features of Mao Zedong's poems in Jinggangshan period.
