The Seven Laws Long March is a seven-character poem selected from Mao Zedong's poetry anthology.

The Long March

Modern: Mao Zedong

The red army is not afraid of the 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.

I am glad to see that Minshan Mountain is covered with snow and stretches for miles. Our soldiers crossed it and showed a bright smile.

Translation:

The Red Army is not afraid of all the difficulties and hardships on the Long March, and regards Qian Shan as ordinary. In the eyes of the red army, the continuous five mountains are just the ups and downs of microwave waves, while the majestic Wumeng Mountain is just a mud pill.

The Jinsha River is full of turbid waves, patting the 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 the chill bursts. What is more gratifying is that when we set foot on the snowy Minshan Mountain, everyone was smiling after the Red Army crossed it.

Creative background:

1934 10 The Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants started the world-famous Long March from Ruijin, Jiangxi, in order to crush the encirclement and suppression of the National Government, preserve its own strength, go north to resist Japan and save the nation from peril.

Along the way, the Red Army soldiers defeated the enemy countless times. They crossed mountains and rivers, crossed the rolling five ridges, broke through the natural barrier of Wujiang River, crossed Chishui River and crossed Wumeng Mountain.

Skillfully crossing the Jinsha River, flying over the Luding Bridge, crossing the snow-capped mountains, crossing the grasslands, and finally crossing the Minshan Mountain, passing through eleven provinces, and reaching northern Shaanxi at 1936 and 10, with a total journey of more than 25,000 miles, is a major event in human history.

Behind the story:

In the process of creation, dissemination, revision, interpretation and publication of this poem, some anecdotes were left behind. 1935 September 18, Mao Zedong led the Central Red Army (but so do dungans detachment) to leave Lazikou and head for Hadapu.

On the way, you have to climb the Minshan Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round and stretches for 30 miles, with steep mountain roads. That day, Mao Zedong climbed the mountain with everyone on crutches. He encouraged everyone to say: climb hard, don't stop, you will get frostbite if you stop, and persistence is victory!

At 3 pm, the Red Army successfully climbed to the top of the mountain. Mao Zedong looked up at the paradise in the west, and his mood was high. This is the last snow mountain that the Central Red Army climbed on the way to the Long March. On the third day after crossing Minshan Mountain, on the morning of September 20th, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai led their troops to Hadapu, a small town in Gannan.

The masses warmly welcomed the Red Army and dragged it into their homes. Mao Zedong said: "The Long March is full of twists and turns. I don't know how many times success is less than difficulties, and I feel gloomy. After crossing Lushan Mountain, I was suddenly enlightened and turned to the opposite side. "

Mao Zedong wrote the Seven Laws Long March, Three Sixteen-character Orders, Niannujiao Kunlun and Qingpingle Liupanshan successively. At that time, the reconnaissance company seized a batch of newspapers from Hadapu Post Office, including Ta Kung Pao published in Tianjin.

Mao Zedong learned from Ta Kung Pao that "there is almost no county in northern Shaanxi that is not red" and that "there are 700,000 people in northern Shaanxi who are red, of whom more than 200,000 are organized as Red Guards and 20,000 are Red Army soldiers". "Liu Zhidan, commander of the bandit troops, commanded the third division" and "more than 10,000 guns".

It is also reported in this newspaper that Xu Haidong has joined two Red Army units in Liu Zhidan. Go to northern Shaanxi! After seven adjustments and changes, the goal and foothold of the Red Army have finally been determined!

Mao Zedong suddenly felt "a bright future" and "suddenly enlightened" and wrote the above poem. Mao Zedong's "Seven Laws Long March" was written between September 20th and 29th in 1935. Why did the later published Poems of Mao Zedong mark the writing time of this poem as June 1935?

This is because, according to the convention, the length of poems is short, and the writing time is subject to the revision and finalization time. For novels, papers and other long articles, the words "first draft", "second draft" and "revised and finalized" are often marked at the end of the article.
