Full text and notes of the Seven Laws Long March

Qilu long March

Modern: Mao Zedong

The Red Army is not afraid of expedition, and Qianshan is just idle.

Wuling makes waves, and Wumeng takes mud pills.

Jinsha River is warm in the clouds and cliffs, and Dadu Bridge is cold in the iron bars.

It's nice to see the snow-covered Minshan Mountains stretching for miles, and our warriors who crossed it showed a bright smile.

Note: Difficulties: Difficulties and obstacles. Leisure: Not afraid of difficulties, unstoppable. Wuling: Dayuling, Qitianling, Dupangling, Zhumengling and Yuechengling located between Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong. Winding: describes the winding and continuous appearance of roads, mountains and rivers.

Xiao Lang: The author explained: "Comparing a mountain to Xiao Lang or a mud pill means" doing nothing ". Wumeng: The name of the mountain. Wumeng Mountain is located at the junction of western Guizhou and northeastern Yunnan, facing Jinsha River in the north, and the mountain is steep. 1In April, 935, the Red Army's Long March passed through here. Mud ball: small mud ball, which means the steep Wumeng Mountain is at the foot of the Red Army soldiers, just like a small mud ball.

Three armies: Author's note: "The Red Army has one army, two armies and four armies." All smiles: The Red Army's Long March reached its destination, and they won, so everyone laughed.

Translation:

The Red Army is not afraid of all difficulties and hardships on the Long March, and regards Qian Shan's boundless waters as normal.

In the eyes of the red army, the continuous five mountains are just the ups and downs of microwave waves, and the majestic Wumeng Mountain is just a mud pill.

Jinsha River is full of turbid waves, flapping against towering cliffs and steaming. The cross frame of the dangerous bridge on the Dadu River is shaking the iron rope hanging high in the air, and a chill is coming.

What is more gratifying is that when we set foot on the snowy Minshan Mountain in Wan Li, everyone was smiling after the Red Army crossed Minshan Mountain.

Extended data

The first seven laws were written shortly after the Red Army soldiers crossed Minshan and before the end of the Long March. As the leader of the Red Army, Mao Zedong has withstood numerous tests. Now, dawn is coming and victory is in sight. He wrote this magnificent poem with passion. The Long March of the Seven Laws was written in late September of A.D. 1935 and finalized in June of A.D. 10.

Since the first couplet, the whole poem has developed two ideas and constructed two time and space. One is the objective reality: "expedition is difficult" and "buried hill" is full of risks; One is subjective and psychological: "not afraid" and "just idle" This constitutes a strong contrast, casting a vast physical space and magnificent psychological space of the whole poem, and laying the bold and broad tone of the whole poem.

This poem vividly summarizes the battle course of the Red Army's Long March and enthusiastically praises the heroic and tenacious revolutionary heroism and revolutionary optimism of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants.

There are more than 60 water-related poems in Mao Zedong's poems, either describing scenery, narrating, expressing ambition or Yan Yu. He is independent of Orange Island, and he is intoxicated with the purity and vitality of "flowing through rivers and rushing through thousands of obstacles". He praised Wan Li's icy scenery in the northland, and was deeply shocked by the silence and solemnity of "the river surges up and down".

Mao Zedong always transcends mountains and rivers, presenting his rich life feelings and philosophical thoughts with mountains and rivers, pinning his deep attachment to the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, expressing his lofty ideal of transforming society and nature, and showing his ambition and fighting pride of defying hardships and overcoming difficulties.

Mao Zedong successfully used the form of old-style poems to record the changes of the times artistically, reflecting the great progress of China's revolution and socialist construction, and eulogizing the people's historical subject spirit. Mao Zedong's poetic ideas such as "thinking in images", "writing some old poems" and "old poems can't be beaten for ten thousand years" have had a great and far-reaching impact on new poems and old poems, especially on the creation of contemporary poems in China on the road of rejuvenation.
