Red red couplets (1)

In a few days, the Communist Party of China will celebrate its 100th birthday. A century-old party that has gone through hardships and ups and downs, pick a few red couplets to remember the unforgettable years...

The word "Red Army" comes from a couplet. In November 1927, the Jute Uprising led by the Communist Party won the victory. Mr. Wu Lanyi, a famous calligrapher in the county, was very happy, that is, I wrote a couplet and posted it on the gate of the Huang'an County Farmers' Government. "Hate the soldiers in the green forest, pretending to be blue sky and white sun, burying the innocent in the darkness; regaining Huang'an County, seeing the blue clouds and purple air, the people support the Red Army." This couplet is neatly contrasted, neatly and cleverly embedded with "green, green, white, black, red" The ten words expressing colors, "yellow, green, purple, blue and red", are very emotional and aptly describe the situation at that time and the people's revolutionary passion. What is particularly rare is that the word "Red Army" is used in the couplet. This is the first person to call the army led by the Communist Party of China the "Red Army".

The ax and sickle on the party flag was originally intended to represent workers and farmers. It is made into a specific pattern, which not only means that workers and farmers are the true masters of the country and the creators of a better world, but also shows that our party is based on A political party based on the alliance of workers and peasants and leading millions of people to fight for the realization of great revolutionary ideals.

"The ax splits the new world? The sickle cuts the old world." This couplet is vivid, easy to understand, and has profound meaning. In October 1933, the Fourth Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army liberated Daxian County, Sichuan, and Li Xiannian and other comrades led the Red Thirty Army to station in Tongxiang. Comrade He Qize, chief of the Propaganda Section of the Political Department of the Fourth Red Army, created this couplet. The Red Army has a "Diamond Flower Team" that specializes in carving slogans on stones. In order to praise the new victory of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, they carved this majestic new couplet for the Political Department on the stone pillars on both sides of the gate building in Tongxiang. . It is majestic, easy to understand and remember, and has spread throughout China.

When the Eighth Red Army held a memorial service for the martyrs who died in Longzhou, Guangxi in 1930, the elegiac couplet hung was: "The deceased is long gone! Death can serve the people's will and the country's power, but death can still Immortal; what is the purpose of the living? Born to be a slave, a horse or a cow, and a living creature." This elegiac couplet not only praises the achievements of the martyrs, but also encourages and educates the survivors, and embodies the values ??of the communist fighters. The concept of life and death is explained very clearly.

The elegiac couplet written by Comrade He Bingyan in memory of Comrade Ye Ting in 1946 is: "Twenty years of revolutionary conquests, fighting in the north and south of the Yangtze River, wherever the sword points, invincible, the deeds of Yuan Rong will be remembered in history; a strange injustice in the south of the Yangtze River, behind bars Five years of career, great achievements, mighty and unyielding, typical example of the Jin Army." In just a few dozen words, he narrated the glorious experience of General Ye Ting's life and praised his noble sentiments, which is awe-inspiring.
