On November 14, 1945, the poem "Qinyuan Spring Snow" was released to the public for the first time, which immediately amazed the entire Chongqing cultural circle, and even the literati and scholars also discussed it, saying that "Foggy Chongqing" may be renamed "Snow Chongqing" ......After listening to Chiang Kai-shek, who knew a little about poetry, he pondered silently for a long time, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this poem really written by Mao Gong himself?" ”
In the heavy snow of February 1936, the ranks of the Red Army faced the challenge of a large river. Although facing the predicament, Chairman *** did not feel flustered, but climbed the snow-capped mountain to overlook, and was shocked by the magnificent snow scenery and mountains and rivers, which inspired him to swallow the mountains and rivers of pride and poetry.
He sighed that the Red Army team escaped death from the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, and that he was moved by the beautiful scenery of the northern country.
The poem was not published to the public for the next nine years until it was published in Chongqing newspapers and periodicals by chance in 1945, which attracted widespread attention and heated discussions.
In 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party officially began. In August, in order to expose the true face of the Kuomintang's fake peace and real civil war, the chairman and the prime minister flew from Yan'an to Chongqing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek.
Although he knew that Chiang Kai-shek had a bad heart and was not sincere in negotiating, Chairman *** still remained calm and composed, and in addition to the peace talks, he also visited the literati and writers in Chongqing, and talked about poetry while greeting him.
The first literati the chairman visited in Chongqing was the chairman who took out a small scroll of paper from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Sun, and said modestly: "This is a slang poem, I wrote it myself, and I will give it to you." ”
Mr. Sun took the paper scroll, slowly opened it, and found that it was the manuscript of Chairman ***'s poem "Qinyuan Spring Snow", the pen is strong, and the poems complement each other, which makes Mr. Sun very amazed and repeatedly pondered this manuscript.
Mr. Sun, a brilliant writer and calligrapher, was very perceptive in his assessment of the manuscript. He believed that if such handwriting was considered "graffiti" and such poetry was regarded as "slang", then there would be no real masterpiece in the world.
After that, ** met the famous literati Liu Yazi during the first KMT-CCP cooperation. Liu Yazi has a deep passion for poetry and articles, and knows that the level of poetry is not only a must in the battle with the troops.
He couldn't help but ask for poems from ***, hoping to include them in the "Selected Poems" and frustrate the spirit of those "royal literati" who were called "reckless men" within the Kuomintang.
After Liu Yazi received the letter from ***, he found that it was not the "Long March: Seven Laws" that he was expecting, but a poem called "Qinyuan Spring and Snow". Despite this, Liu Yazi was deeply attracted by this poem, and her eyes stopped for a long time, and it was difficult to take them off.
He lamented that ***'s poetry attainments are so high, even if his works seem insignificant in front of ***. This letter not only allowed Liu Yazi to express his appreciation for ***'s poetic talent, but also gave him a deeper understanding and awareness of the treasures of Chinese literature.
Liu Yazi has a very high evaluation of ***'s "Qinyuan Spring Snow", and he thinks that this poem is difficult to surpass even Su Dongpo, Xin Qiji, etc., let alone Li Houzhu and Li Qingzhao.
Liu Yazi himself was a loyal admirer of Xin Qiji, and even changed his name to "Liu Qiji". For this "Qinyuan Spring Snow", Liu Yazi's mood could not be calmed for a long time, and he immediately found the seal carver Cao Li'an for the *** seal carving, he thought that only Cao Li'an's seal could be worthy of this poem that swallowed mountains and rivers.
With a poetic pen, Liu Yazi created a poem with the same word plate as "Qinyuan Spring and Snow", and sent it to the "Xinhua **" newspaper together, hoping to publish it.
However, the head of the newspaper told him that the poems needed the consent of *** before they could be published. In desperation, Liu Yazi had no choice but to publish his own peace words first. On November 11, 1945, Liu Yazi's words made their debut in the fourth edition of "Xinhua **", causing a sensation in the cultural circles.
People began to wonder what kind of words "Qinyuan Spring Snow" would be. At that time, many literati came to visit Liu Yazi, hoping to see the true face of "Qinyuan Spring and Snow".
So, Liu Yazi shared the original words privately with his friends. This sharing inadvertently contributed to the publication of "Qinyuan Spring Snow". Wu Zuguang, the editor of "Western Night Story", learned of the news and began to inquire around.
In the end, he obtained three manuscripts, each with some omissions, but when they were stitched together, it happened to be a complete "Qinyuan Spring and Snow". On November 14, 1945, Wu Zuguang first published this article "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" in "Western Night Tales".
According to statistics, more than 50 poems related to "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" were published in various newspapers and periodicals, which was an unprecedented grand occasion.
Is this really *** written by himself? ”
Chen Bui expressed unreservedly: "It is difficult for others to create. Chiang Kai-shek asked, "What do you think of this?" Chen Bui sighed lightly and praised: "The words and sentences are appropriate, the style is noble, the language is bright, and the meaning is far-reaching." ”
His sigh seemed to feel both sorry for this talented man in the Communist Party and admiration for this amazing poetic talent.
Chen Bui added: "Now there are many people who are attracted by the song of ***, whether it is ** or civilians, whether it is friends or enemies, they are all singing and harmonizing. ”
"Foggy Chongqing" is about to become "Snow Chongqing", Mr. think about it, our negotiations have not yet been completed, ** although he left, but he has attracted widespread attention and attention in Chongqing, isn't this result worth thinking about? ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded contemplatively, but asked with a hint of doubt: "Isn't there something wrong with it?" Chen Bui shook his head, without the slightest denial.
The bearing is extraordinary, which is a rare masterpiece in today's poetry world. Chiang Kai-shek's inquiry seemed to be seeking answers, but in fact he was deceiving himself. Although Chiang Kai-shek's poetry skills are good and he likes to write poetry since he was a child, his poetic talent is not high, so much so that many people call his poems "smooth mouth".
Despite this, he can still see that "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" is a superior work. However, how could Chiang Kai-shek be easily satisfied, he immediately convened a meeting of the Propaganda Department of the People's Republic of China, convened a group of royal literati to create "and words" and "heavy money for words", and vowed to surpass the words.
According to Chiang Kai-shek's request, thousands of literati of the Kuomintang began to participate in the creation of "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan" for the first time in history. These royal literati racked their brains, pieced together words and sentences, and wantonly misinterpreted every sentence of "Qinyuan Spring and Snow".
However, in the ** propaganda office, despite the flood of submissions, none of the poems can compare to the original. Looking at these "waste papers" that were begged for a lot of money, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but have a headache.
In 1984, the Kuomintang of Tainan Theological Seminary, a teacher, undoubtedly failed in its siege of the poem "Qinyuan Spring and Snow".
**The chairman received the response of his "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" in the mountain city of Chongqing in Yan'an. Comrade Wang Ruofei, who stayed in Chongqing, collected the provocative words and commentaries in the newspaper and sent them to Yan'an.
Didn't reply immediately because he thought the things in front of him were more important than these little things. Until December 9, ** responded to the matter, and his attitude showed that he did not take the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang poetry to heart, but treated it with a normal heart.
He likened these poems to the noise of crows and cicadas, and said that although the Kuomintang royal literati thought they were brilliant, they were actually nothing more than that.
* General, one of the top ten marshals of our country, has profound poetic attainments. In February 1946, when the snow was drifting in Shandong, he improvised a song of "Qinyuan Spring Snow", which complemented Mao Anying's original words and was poetic and elegant when recited.
* The general's artistic conception is outstanding, which can be called a masterpiece in the word, and it is a strong support for "Qinyuan Spring Snow". Subsequently, Liu Yazi, Guo Moruo and others also joined this "snow battle".
Why are the talents of the Kuomintang so scarce? The 114-character poem "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan" has far more influence than itself, and although the author has passed away, its story will live on forever.
Since 1945, the internal contradictions of the Kuomintang have become increasingly intensified, and the people's will has gradually lost.
