Among Chairman Mao’s poems, the most shocking one is the poem “To Shaoshan”, which reads: “I have been away from Sichuan for thirty-two years. The red flag rolled up the flag of the serfs, and the black flag raised the whip of the tyrant. To achieve the goal, no matter the consequences.” Looking at the thousands of acres of rice and beans, there are heroes under the setting sun. Among them, “For the sake of sacrifice, there are many ambitions, and we dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky”, I think everyone can feel the power of these two sentences, which is an incomparable heroism, a feeling of pointing to the mountains and rivers. This is also a poem that many people often take out now. Combined with calligraphy, it is a higher realm. Let us appreciate it together.



The poem "To Shaoshan" not only has a majestic momentum, but also has a unique charm. In the poem, many words, no matter the shape or strokes, have a sense of soaring and a strong momentum. At the same time, we see the words "evening", "smoke" and "garden". These words look a bit exaggerated, but not abrupt, making people feel very close and natural. This is a very natural sense of closeness. At the same time, we also find that the font of Chairman Mao's poem is very compact, not only the font, but also the line spacing is very compact.



Another poem by Chairman Mao, "Climbing Mount Lushan", is of another style, especially the mood in it, which is even more breathtaking, "A mountain is on the bank of a big river, leaping four hundred miles. Looking at the sea coldly, the wind blows and rain falls on the river. The yellow crane clouds are across the nine factions, and the white smoke is in the three Wus." "Where is Tao Ling, can he farm in the Peach Blossom Spring?" The charm is different, the font is also different, Chairman Mao's calligraphy is even more breathtaking. If you put "Going to Shaoshan" together, there may be a big difference, but it is still breathtaking.



These two pieces of calligraphy are really rare. I think you will be surprised. Some people say that these two pieces of calligraphy represent Chairman Mao’s highest achievements in calligraphy and art. Do you agree? Let’s share our views and opinions.
