. . . Throughout the ages, the Yellow River has flowed across the land of China with its majestic momentum, nourishing generations of Chinese people. Praising the Yellow River is praising our great Chinese nation.

The "Yellow River Cantata" is a collection of poems written by the famous poet Guang Weiran (Zhang Guangnian) to accompany the large-scale national symphony created by the musician Xian Xinghai. In 1938, after the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese invaders trampled on the land of North China. The anti-Japanese and national salvation movement set off a climax across the country. It is the wish of many progressive writers and artists to reflect the real struggle and inspire the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people across the country through the artistic images they create. The poet Guang Weiran once composed the lyrics "Flowers of May" in August 1935. The song sang: "The flowers of May are blooming all over the wilderness, / the flowers cover the blood of the patriots. / In order to save this dying nation, / they He fought tenaciously and never stopped..." The lyrics were widely sung after being composed. After the poet arrived in Yan'an in 1939, he created a larger poem "Yellow River Cantata" which is larger in length and scale. "Yellow River Cantata" has eight movements, namely: "Yellow River Boatman's Song", "Yellow River Ode", "Yellow River Water Coming from the Sky", "Yellow River Dialogue Song", "Yellow Water Ballad", "Yellow River Resentment", "Defend the Yellow River", "Yellow River Cantata" Roar, Yellow River". The majestic imagination and realistic scenes in the poem are intertwined to form a magnificent historical picture, singing about suffering and struggle, depicting the image of the Yellow River, and reflecting the real scenes of the heroic sons and daughters of the Chinese nation in the war of resistance. Xian Xinghai praised it as "full of beauty, full of realism, resentment, and tragic emotions, making people who have never crossed the Yellow River feel the same way as those who have." The lyrics themselves have tried their best to describe the great Yellow River for thousands of years. history".

"Ode to the Yellow River" is an ode in terms of genre, focusing on "singing". In terms of structure, it is closely inherited from the first chapter of the poem "The Song of Boatmen on the Yellow River". "The Song of Boatmen on the Yellow River" describes: "The sky was full of dark clouds and the stormy waves were crashing on the shore. The boatmen of the Yellow River fought in the storm and finally reached the other shore after untold hardships. This symbolizes that our great nation and people have broken through the stormy waves. Despite many difficulties, we finally achieved a glorious victory." So in the second chapter "Ode to the Yellow River", the poet appears as a singer of the times. He stood on the top of the mountain and sang an ode to the Yellow River on behalf of the heroic sons and daughters of the motherland. He praised the Yellow River's majesty and long history, and wanted to learn from its example and be as great and strong as it

Attachment: Postscript to the teaching of "Ode to the Yellow River"

Poems value image thinking and pay attention to implicitness.

When a poet describes something, his purpose is often not to say what the thing is like, but to express his own thoughts and feelings; when describing a scene, he expresses his feelings through the scene, and when he chants about an object, he expresses his ambition through the object. Whether these images or emotions, they all depend on the expression of poetic language. Therefore, when teaching poetry, we must not move from "abstract" to "abstract" again. Teachers can make full use of the appeal of expressions and movements; the intuitiveness of teacher's blackboard drawings; the use of recorded soundtracks and CAI courseware... to turn "abstraction" into "image". All aesthetic activities in poetry teaching begin with students' direct perception of aesthetic objects, and are continuously enriched and deepened in the process.

1. With the help of aesthetic reading

The so-called "esthetic reading" refers to "reading with rhythm and emotion" (Ye Shengtao's words). Poetry is mainly about experiencing the beauty of language and artistic conception through rhythmic and emotional reading.

To read modern poetry beautifully, you must first grasp its ideological content and determine the emotional tone based on the ideological content. Establish speaking speed according to emotional needs. "Ode to the Yellow River" sings about the thundering power and roaring sound of the Yellow River, and also writes about the spirit of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of hardships and dangers, has the courage to explore and move forward courageously. Combined with the characteristics of the times, it reads passionate, vigorous and tragic! Then according to the artistic conception of the poem, determine the light reading, stress reading and long sound and short sound, and read the charm of the poem. The form is flexible and diverse. Teachers can read it as a model. Students can read individually, in groups, or together...

2. With the help of music

The ancients said: "Every sound comes from the human heart." Also. "People's experience of music is a spiritual feeling, but ordinary literary works may not produce spiritual resonance. The music of "Ode to the Yellow River" is majestic, passionate and profound. It expresses dangerous rapids in gorges, raging waves and whirlpools, and reef waterfalls, praising the majesty and long history of the Yellow River. After the students listened, they were filled with passion and uncontrollable emotions. They were agitated and edified by it.

In short, we must not only explore aesthetic objects that provide rich aesthetic value, but also use all feasible means, such as using images, pictures, music, aesthetic reading, empathy, etc., so as to Enrich students' aesthetic perception, enable students to have a profound understanding and enlightenment of the ideological content of poetic works, and create a strong emotional resonance, dyeing the author's emotional tone. Therefore, when we teach poetry, we must fully explore the beauty of poetry itself, so that students can feel that even "boring philosophy" is beautiful, and they can accept the beauty. Only then can the entire poetry teaching process be enveloped in a specific atmosphere and mood created by teachers and students, so that students can perceive and appreciate beauty in a harmonious, enthusiastic, lively and aesthetic classroom atmosphere.
