He was angry, leaning against the railing, and the rain stopped. He looked up at the sky and let out a long, passionate roar. Thirty generations of fame and success are like dust, and the clouds and the moon are eight thousand miles away. Don't waste your years and add to your sadness!

The shame of Kangguo has not been washed away. When will the hatred of the ministers end? Riding a fine horse, he trampled the Helan Mountains flat. "I am hungry, I ate the meat of the barbarians and drank the blood of the Xiongnu." He wants to start over and wash the old mountains and rivers again.



Why is Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong" still recited by later generations? First, it is because Yue Fei died for his country, and second, it is because his poems are very powerful and infectious.

As soon as "Man Jiang Hong" was released, it received rave reviews, letting everyone know the story of Yue Fei and making everyone feel the heroic spirit of "Man Jiang Hong: Nu Fa Chong Guan" again.



Chairman Mao once used Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong" to write a calligraphy. Chairman Mao's calligraphy works include 40,000 to 50,000 kinds, but those with ancient poems as the theme are rare.

He selected Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong" and wrote it in his best cursive style, which shows Chairman Mao's admiration for Yue Fei.



Chairman Mao was best at cursive writing, which was bold and unrestrained, complementing Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong". The most important purpose of the ancients in judging a piece of calligraphy was to see the fit between the meaning and the artistic conception.

Yue Fei's poem "Man Jiang Hong" is full of vigor and ambition, and every word is sonorous, which makes people's blood boil; Chairman Mao's calligraphy is based on Yue Fei's poem. His brushwork is fast and fierce, and the words he typed are also well-organized, with an unstoppable momentum. It seems that only this kind of cursive script can match these two words.



Chairman Mao was also an outstanding poet, and he wrote a poem "沁园春·雪", which, like Yue Fei's "满江红", is full of heroism. Perhaps, Chairman Mao wrote "满江红" in cursive script to better understand Yue Fei's mood and feelings at the time.

Chairman Mao used two pages to write a poem "Man Jiang Hong". Although it was small, it was not restrained at all. Compared with writing with large fonts to show the grandeur, writing with small fonts to show the grandeur requires a pair of skillful hands and a broad mind.



Yue Fei was also a good calligrapher. The four characters "Return my rivers and mountains" were widely sung during the Anti-Japanese War, inspiring the soldiers who fought against the Japanese invaders. Stone carvings written by Yue Fei can be seen in more than 400 Yue temples across the country.

The most famous of Yue Fei's calligraphy is the cursive "Departure to the Imperial Academy", which is more than 700 characters long, with each stroke bigger and stronger than the last, and each stroke is full of blood and tears. From this point, we can also see that Yue Fei's calligraphy style is in the same vein as his style.



Yue Fei's poems and calligraphy, like Chairman Mao's calligraphy and poems, are so bold and unrestrained. This is what is called "the writing reflects the person" and "the handwriting reflects the person". If "Man Jiang Hong" was written by Yue Fei, wouldn't his handwriting be more reminiscent of it?
