Red, orange, yellow and green in Mao Zedong's poems

Color is an important factor in the form of beauty, the nature decorated with colorful, glowing with infinite charm and vivid charm. The color in poetry makes the language full of image, makes the abstract emotion concrete and materialized, and expresses the poet's spiritual idea. The "red" of "human face peach blossoms set off each other red" is reverie, the "green" of "spring breeze and green river south bank" is fascinating, and the "black" of "black clouds pressing down on the city" is terrifying. Mao Zedong, who led the way, wrote poems and paintings. Mao Zedong's poems are not only sincere in emotion, profound in thought, majestic in momentum and powerful in artistic conception, but also the use and collocation of color words are distinctive, magnificent and magical, reaching the harmonious symbiosis of poetry and painting, showing strong emotional color, political color, color of the times and national color.

Colorful

Mao Zedong's poems are good at using different colors to reflect inner feelings, depict natural landscapes, and contrast social practice. Whether it is the emphasis of a single color, the contrast of different colors, or the harmony of a variety of colors, they are properly grasped, enhancing the expressive tension of language and image, profoundly revealing the inner nature of the object of description, and reflecting the brilliant light of aesthetics and philosophy.

Mao Zedong's sense of color is sharp and accurate, which not only conforms to the natural attributes of things themselves, but also conforms to people's aesthetic perception. "All over the sky is white", "clouds want to stand on the top of Baiyun Mountain", "white smoke rising from three Wu under the waves", "white clouds flying on Jiuyi Mountain", "white clouds flying under the pressure of snow" and "white waves" refer to water mist, clouds and snowflakes respectively, all of which have the characteristics of "white. "The song is unfinished, the east is white", "white" means bright as day. The "white" of "singing the cock and the world is white" contains a strong political color, which is a complete change to "the long night is difficult to see the sky in Chixian County", implying that the Chinese people have been liberated. The "white" of "there is a heap of fine bones" is full of contempt and hatred. The "black" and "ink" of "black hands hanging over the overlord's whip" and "all officials in Chongqing are ink officials" refer to the ferocity and despicability of the reactionaries.

Mao Zedong's methods of using color words are flexible and varied. Some are straightforward, "the leaves of Yuzhou are yellow" and use yellow leaves to refer to autumn. Some are implicit, "Yan 'an has no soil but no gold", which means that the wind is clear and the air is clear. Some poems do not show any trace of color words, but no "color" is better than "color", such as "snowflakes flying to Diaoyutai", "temples snow flying into waste", "snowflakes" is white spray, "temples snow" is white hair. The sentence "Reading Huazhang in the Season of Falling Flowers" shows that time is the season when flowers fall, but colorful colors are the meaning of it. However, among the "clear rivers", "vast rivers in Jiangxi", "vast mountains in Fujian", "more lush mountains", "more lush mountains", "more lush mountains", "four hundred spins of verdant trees" and "ancient clouds and sea green", the depiction of mountains and rivers is very simple and clear at first glance, but when considered carefully, it is hazy. It is full of words and infinite meaning, giving people infinite imagination.

A rainbow is a kind of light that appears when the sun shines on small droplets of water after rain.learning phenomenon. In ancient poems, poems depicting rainbows are not uncommon, such as "two waters with mirrors, two bridges with rainbows" (Li Bai), "on the first day of the incense burner, waterfalls spray into rainbows" (Meng Haoran), "Rainbow lies in the rain, and bright buildings in the middle of the night" (Zhao Shankuo), basically talking about things, which is slightly bland unremarkable. However, Mao Zedong's sentence "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, who holds the color to practice dancing in the air" is vivid and imaginative. Since the beginning of poetry, it is indeed a masterpiece of "color. "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple" has almost become the image of the rainbow.

There are pictures in the poem

When Su Shi commented on Wang Wei's works in the Tang Dynasty, he pointed out: "There is a picture in the poem of Taste Malone." "There is a picture in poetry" and "Poetry in painting" has always been an artistic method of classical poetry creation, and it is also an evaluation scale to measure the level of poetry works. In "Journey to the West", Mao Zedong recalled the situation of taking a still life sketch class when he was studying: "I often come up with the simplest things to draw, and leave the classroom when I finish painting hastily. I remember once I drew a straight line with a semicircle on it, which said, 'Half the wall sees the sea sun '. Another time, during the drawing test, I drew an oval and said it was an egg. As a result, I got 40 marks in the drawing class and failed." Mao Zedong was not good at painting and did not experience the exquisite skills of "poetry in painting", but the "painting in poetry" created by him with color and image is unparalleled and can be called a unique skill.

Mao Zedong's poems inherit and carry forward the traditional techniques of Chinese classical poetry creation. In a letter written by Mao Zedong to Chen Yi to talk about poetry, he mentioned "thinking in images" in three places in a row: "Poetry should use thinking in images, not as straightforward as prose." "Most people in the Song Dynasty do not understand poetry and use thinking in images, which is contrary to the laws of the Tang Dynasty". Mao Zedong's poems pay special attention to reflecting reality with images, expressing content in form, and frequently using color words or words with strong sense of color and light to set off rendering, depicting specific, sensible, radiant, and lifelike "pictures". Poetry and painting are integrated and complement each other.

"The sky is white, and the military situation in the snow is even more pressing." YesA picture of the heroic Red Army marching forward bravely in the snow. "Cangshan is like the sea, the setting sun is like blood" is a magnificent and majestic, vigorous and tragic mountain sunset map. "Red rain turns into waves, green hills turn into bridges" is a warm and delicious spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. "The red flag rolls up the serfs to find them, and the black hand hangs high over the overlord's whip" is a picture of the struggle situation with strong contrast and clear love and hate. "Sassy and heroic five-foot gun, dawn first shines on the military field" is a picture of a vigorous and heroic heroine. "When the mountain flowers are blooming, she smiles in the bushes" is a picture of a hundred flowers blooming with bright colors. "Bamboos a thousand tears, red clouds a hundred heavy clothes" is a picture of Xiangfei legend that is also true and illusory, coordinated and pleasing to the eye.

The most concentrated, comprehensive and wonderful paragraph of Mao Zedong's poems is the upper Que of the two "Qinyuan Spring". The conception is strange and bold, the environment is open and grand, the colors are diverse and unified, and the ink is fine and smooth. It is like a long scroll of poetry and painting of magnificent rivers and mountains. "Qinyuan Spring Changsha" Shangtan draws a picture of "all kinds of frost competing freely" in the autumn scenery of Hunan. From a distance, "the mountains are all red, and the forests are all dyed", which is comparable to "the frost leaves are red in February flowers"; from a close look: "the river is transparent, and a hundred boats compete for the flow", it can be described as "the autumn water is the same color as the sky". Looking up: "Eagle strikes the sky", cloudless autumn sky, eagles spread their wings and fly high; overlooking: "Fish flying shallow bottom", sparkling underwater, fish swimming leisurely. "Qinyuan Spring Snow" in Shangtan, the poet extremely eyes, extraordinary momentum to outline a "thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow floating" of the northern landscape. "Inside and outside the Great Wall, but more than reckless", stretching the boundless border; "the river up and down, suddenly lost surging", showing the beauty of tranquility. "Mountain Dance Silver Snake, Original Chi Wax Elephant", turning static into dynamic, vivid. "Red dress is wrapped in plain clothes, especially enchanting", red and white are harmonious, demon but not flattering, colorful but not vulgar, Rao and zhi.

have a soft spot

"The thick green branches are a little red, and the touching spring scenery is not much." As far as aesthetic experience is concerned, red means warm, exciting, warm and bright. Red is the background color of Mao Zedong's temperament and character, which melts his appreciation preference and aesthetic ideal, constitutes the main theme of all colors in Mao Zedong's poems, and expresses distinct ideological connotation and emotional charm. Facing the rainbow of "red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple", his intuition first caught the "red" color. Terms such as "crescent sun is like blood", "red makeup", "red rain", "Hongxia", "Zhaohui" and "dawn" have appeared again and again.

When Mao Zedong conceived colorful pictures, he often used red as the main color. He either uses a variety of colors as a foil to highlight red, or uses red as a background to make scenery and objects shrouded in red. "Look at the red mountains, the forests are all dyed", "the frost of the trees is red and the sky is brilliant", "the frost of the few rivers and the sky is full of infinite passion, contains the great power to turn the world around, and shows the broad mind of optimism and open-mindedness. Give people a sense of forge ahead, unrestrained and bold.

Mao Zedong is a poet and politician, a poet and a politician. He has a special liking for red, which fully reflects his true character as a politician. In terms of political meaning, red symbolizes revolution and heralds victory. "The Red Army is not afraid of expeditions", the color of the revolutionary army is red. "The red corner over the Jiangxi water", the color of the base area is red. Li Dazhao predicted in The Victory of Bolshevism: "The alarm bell of humanity has rung! The dawn of freedom has appeared! Try to see the future of the world, it will be a world of red flags." Because of this, Mao Zedong's poems show "red flags" in many places, such as "the red flag leaps over the Tingjiang River", "the wind shows the red flag as picturesque", "the wind rolls the red flag over the big pass", "the red flag rolls over the west wind", "the red flag rolls up the serf halberd" and "the red flag floats and shines on the wall. The flag is the direction, the flag is the image. The red flag raised Mao Zedong's revolutionary will, and the red flag declared Mao Zedong's revolutionary ideal.

It is worth mentioning that in the sentence "do not love red clothes and love arms", "red clothes" refers to gorgeous clothes. Mao Zedong hopes that "the sons and daughters of China have more wonderful aspirations" and sends a message to young women not to learn from Lin Daiyu, but to learn from Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying. Mao Zedong's expression of the derogation of red is a special case.
