Politics is spiritual and intangible, and poetry is mainly to express emotions by shaping artistic images, and it is more difficult to express intangible things with images. To solve this problem, we must return to the purpose and ** of literature. The source of literature and art is real life, which is higher than life and serves social life, and literature and art revolve around life. What politics is refers to the major affairs of the country, and our daily life is related to the major affairs of the country. Therefore, political poems can only write about life. If you leave everyday life, there is no poetry. What exactly to write and how to write it?
1. Write about specific political life. For example, the Communist Party of China is actually a concept, and the only things that exist in reality are the members of the Communist Party of China, the activities that the party members are engaged in, the things they have used, and the things they create. So, it is possible to write about politicians, things that politicians have used, things that have been created. For example, on the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, many contemporary famous artists wrote about the red boat of Nanhu, which is a writing object and a political symbol. **Long March" wrote, "Butterfly Loves Flowers. Answer: Li Shuyi" writer. Some wrote that they had joined the party. A certain poetry magazine has a poem "Feelings for the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China": "The party's leadership banner is fluttering, and entrepreneurship is hard. The merit is high and the history is high, and the social harmony is step by step. "There are few scenes in the whole article, and there is no author's affection, only political jargon. The root cause of its failure is that it is all about concepts, not about life.
2. Write about everyday life related to politics. Such as "Watching the Movie" ** in 1949". Write about visiting political attractions, such as watching the national flag raising, visiting the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, commemorating the National Memorial Day for the Dead Compatriots in Nanjing, and visiting Lugou Bridge.
IIIExpress your heart directly, but also build a life platform. For example, Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" "Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest." Raise your eyes and look up to the sky and howl, "It's a rainy day standing on a high place, looking far away from the railing." Xin Qiji's "Nanxiangzi. Dengjingkou Beiguting Youhuai" is Dengbeiguting, **Qinyuan Spring. Snow is to go out and watch the snow. If there is no platform, it will not become a poem, such as "August 1st Expression": "The sea of Diaoyu Island is rolling with wind and thunder, and the lion wakes up and is anxious to hear the war drums." The heroic soul of the first day turned the snow and shame, and the warriors of the Qin and Tang dynasties were puppets in the east. "The four sentences cannot be integrated, and the poem cannot be written, because there is no platform to stand on, and the castle in the air does not exist.
FourthWrite indirectly, and embody political thinking in daily life. For example, the method of travelogues, ancient masters wrote many travelogues, and many of them used them to write political themes. To commemorate the Xinhai Revolution, you can write a visit to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and visit the former residence of Soong Ching Ling. **Lang Taosha Beidaihe", Du Fu's "Shu Xiang" is such a travelogue method.
FiveUse daily life methods such as watching TV, surfing the Internet, reading books, and dreaming as a ladder to take the stage. For example, Liu Qinglin wrote "Watching the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China Live on TV": "The venue was moved to the knee and the scientific concept of development was taken." The rejuvenation of the national economy is the foundation of security, and the issue of people's livelihood is given priority. The flag has been guarded for a hundred years, and the avenue cannot be deviated from one step. Bursts of applause flew outside the room and turned into laughter all over the world." The 18 core contents are written out. Wang Yaxi's "Look" ** in 1949 "Feeling" "Two feet on the road of the wolf and tiger, one shoulder to bear the world's feelings." Aged clothes and shoes welcome guests, and the new moon and rising sun accompany the soldiers. "It's watching a movie.
6. Titles, gifts, and poems. "Sassy and heroic five-foot gun, the dawn of the first light on the military field." The sons and daughters of China have many strange ambitions, and they do not love red clothes and love arms". "And Comrade Zhou Shizhao", "Send Zong Yu Ichiro Eastbound", "To Comrade ***".
7. Make up stories. For example, "Kunpeng spreads its wings, 90,000 miles, and flips the horns." Looking at the green ** on the back, they are all human cities. The artillery fire was incessant, and bullet marks were everywhere, which frightened the canopy birds. What's the matter, oops I'm going to leap. By asking where you are going, the finch replied: There is Xianshan Qiongge. I didn't see the autumn moon of the previous year, and three treaties were made. There is also food, potatoes are cooked, and beef is added. No need to fart! Try to see the heavens and the earth turn upside down. "It's a man-made mood. Dreams are also a common method of fiction. Jin Yanzong of the Qing Dynasty "Dream from the Army" "According to the saddle grass, the bald thousands of millimeters, the ten thousand tents are silent and the Beidou is high." Please peek into the enemy base for the general, and the prancing horse in the snow and the night sword. "It's all a dream.
8. Don't list too many phenomena until the point is reached. Du Fu's "Shu Xiang" "Where to find the prime minister's ancestral hall? Outside Jinguan City, Parson. The green grass is from the spring, and the yellow oriole is hollow and has a good sound. Three visits to the world frequently, two dynasties to help the hearts of the old ministers. He died before he left the school, which made the hero cry. "The first two couplets are easy to write the scene, only the third one is directly written Zhuge Liang, the last sentence writes talent, the next sentence writes morality, both ability and political integrity, and the end is general. There are many poems that are written so realistically that they feel wordy and boring to read.
9. Write about the basic elements of life: time, place, people, and events. In this way, it will not be empty and have a sense of detail in life. It is difficult to write a story without the details of life, such as "National Day Expression": "China ushered in the spring of June 2, and the journey was arduous all the way. Stepping on the bumpy passage, the red banner raises the soul of the country. Like the previous "August 1st Expression", only political terms are piled up, and there is not a single element of life. It's equivalent to not writing anything, and I don't have any impression after reading it. "Although it is rhythmic, it is not a poem, and it is difficult to say that it is a poem. For example, in the first issue of "Yafeng" in 2014, "Commemorating the 120th Anniversary of the Birth of ***", please see some of the poems: "Ode to the Great", "Ode to the Great Man", "Ode to the Great Man", "Celebrating the Birthday of the Great", "Remembering the Birthday", etc. The topics are almost the same, big and empty, without personality, and you can't see a platform for foothold, and elements of life, so you can imagine how the poems are written.
In short, political poetry is also about life. Don't write out of thin air, don't pile up political jargon, and don't list the phenomena of political life. Write about political life, or about everyday life related to politics. Politics is inseparable from daily life, and the key is to perceive major events related to the country from daily life, or be good at implanting political emotions into the life mood created by poems.
