How to write a paper on national studies

In a flash the semester is coming to an end and I am in the final stages of my National Studies elective. As a science and engineering major, the elective course provided me with more opportunities to get in touch with literature and some liberal arts students. In this semester's Chinese Studies class, Mr. Lu introduced us to traditional Chinese culture in chunks, poetry, ceramics, architecture, and so on. Today I'm going to talk about my favorite poems, the Magnificent category.

From elementary school to now, I have always loved those catchy and bold poems and words. Because such poems always make people's mind open up and full of fighting spirit when they read them. First of all, Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao - Red Cliff Huai Gu":

The great river goes to the east, the waves have been exhausted, the ancient wind and current characters. The west side of the old fortress, people are, the three Zhoulang Red Cliff. The rocks are piercing through the air, the waves are beating against the shore, and a thousand piles of snow are being swept up. The river is like a picture, how many heroes.

Reminiscing about the time of Kung Jin, Xiao Qiao was married at the beginning of his life, and he was very handsome. The fan, the towel, talk and laugh, the boom and the scaffolding is gone. The old country is traveling, the love should laugh at me, early hair. Life is like a dream, a libation.

This song is an outstanding representative of Su Shi's bold words, which was made by Su Shi when he visited the Red Cliff Rocky during his relegation to Huangzhou. The opening lines of the poem are lyrical and express the feelings of the past and present, spanning thousands of kilometers. "The Great River goes east, the waves have exhausted all the heroes of the past": facing the Yangtze River, the author associates it with countless heroes and heroines who have gone away. Their achievements have also been gradually forgotten with the passage of time, becoming traces of history, just as the "waves have exhausted" refers to. "West of the old fortress, the human way is, the three Zhou Lang Red Cliff": pulls our vision to a specific place - Zhou Lang Red Cliff. Here was a war full of wisdom, but also appeared a number of heroes and heroines. Su Shi wrote this to set the stage for the following remembrance of Zhou Yu. "Rambling stones piercing through the air, waves beating the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow": this sentence focuses on the majestic and magnificent scenery of the Red Cliff. The rocks on the steep cliffs overlap into the clouds, and the huge waves beat against the riverbank with such force that they roll up millions of piles of snow waves. History has gone far away, and the scenery of Red Cliff is still so magnificent. With a few sentences, the author instantly brings us to the scene of Red Cliff. "The rivers and mountains are so picturesque, how many great men and women are there at one time": summarize the above and lead the following. The author above has given us a wonderful picture, showing the majesty of Red Cliff, the Yangtze River's unceasing flow, and the spirit of the land and people. In the Three Kingdoms, all kinds of heroes and heroes came out, the wind and clouds. "Think back to the time of Gongjin, Xiao Qiao first married, handsome. These two lines focus on Zhou Yu, the representative character of the Battle of Red Cliff. Zhou Yu's talent is emphasized by the fact that he is called a hero by his beauty. At the same time, Zhou Yu's calm posture and elegant demeanor in commanding before the battle show that he has very high military skills. These two lines show Zhou Yu's characterization to the fullest, and the heroic figure in the author's mind is perfectly expressed. "The old country is a godly place, and the sentimental should laugh at me for being born with Chinese hair early": from here the author begins to lament his own self. The author treats what he saw and thought in front of the Red Cliff as if he had traveled back to the Three Kingdoms. Then he thought of himself as having gray hair even before he had established his career, and he could not help feeling disappointed and laughing at himself. Time goes by and never returns, he has come to the twilight of his life, the career path is bumpy, the ambition is not rewarded is to make the author feel regret. "Life is like a dream, a libation river moon": after some inner thinking, the author suddenly realized. Since life is like a dream, why don't you let go of your mind and get drunk? Su Shi's whole word is a big ups and downs, first write heroes, and then write their own sad life. The hero's life is full of legend, his own life is also full of difficulties, both life is like a dream. The whole word is also catchy to read. It is full of infinite thoughts about life, philosophical, and gives people education between history and reality, which makes them never tire of reading it.

If ancient poetry is far away from us and has become history, then Mao Zedong's poetry can be considered very close to us. Mao Zedong's poems are also classics in the grandiose, with the background of the times, read in a grandiose manner, and they are also my very favorite poems. A masterpiece, "Qinyuanchun - Snow":

The scenery of the north country, thousands of miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow drifting. The Great Wall and beyond, but the rest of the reckless; River up and down, lost the torrent. The mountains are dancing with silver snakes, and the plains are waxing with wax elephants, so I want to compete with the God of Heaven. The first thing you need to do is to look at the sunny days and see the red dresses, which are alluring and enchanting.

The mountains and rivers are so beautiful, attracting countless heroes. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. A generation of pride, Genghis Khan, only know how to bend the bow to shoot a big eagle. All the past, the number of people, but also look at the present day.

The words were made by Mao Zedong in February 1936 when he first saw heavy snow in northern Shaanxi Province. "The scenery of the northern country, a thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow drifting": these three lines write the snowy scenery of the northern country, and the endless snow brings the reader into a vast silver world. Ice, snow, a combination of static and dynamic; thousands of miles, ten thousand miles, a broad context. "Looking at the Great Wall inside and outside, but the remaining mangmang; big river up and down, suddenly lost": here there is the meaning of ascending high and looking far away, and there is a great component of imagination. The poet is facing such a magnificent scene, and his heart is full of heroic feelings. The poet saw the Great Wall, saw the Yellow River, saw the mountains and rivers of the great motherland. The words "lost" also show that the weather there is cold, everything is covered in silver, a silence. "The mountains dance with silver snakes, the plains run like wax elephants, wanting to compete with the heavenly lord": a dynamic description, the mountains and the plains seem to become vibrant and lively after putting on the sacred silver clothes. The poet's emotion is also enlivened by this, watching the mountains and the plain rise and fall in his eyes, as if he wants to compete with the God of Heaven. "It must be a clear day, to see the red dress, enchanting": the author imagines the scene of a clear day after the snow, according to the snow scene he saw. It must be a red sun shining, the snow is reddish, and the scenery is very beautiful. "The mountains and rivers are so beautiful, attracting countless heroes to compete": these two sentences are a summary of the above scene at the same time and the transition for the following discussion. Because the motherland's mountains and rivers are so beautiful, there are so many ancient and modern heroes and heroes to fight for the unification of it and struggle. "The Qin Emperor and Han Wu, a little less elegant; Tang Zong and Song Zu, a little less popular. A generation of pride, Genghis Khan, only know the bow to shoot a big eagle": these sentences began to write the heroes of the past generations, as unfolded a historical picture scroll. A "pity" word, set the tone of comments on historical figures, full of regret. The poet also pays great attention to the fairness of the evaluation, using the "slightly less elegant", "a little inferior to the style". In the evaluation of Genghis Khan, but also used the desire to inhibit first, pointed out that Genghis Khan only rely on martial arts do not understand the rule of literature. These lines at the same time also have alluded to the poet himself will be different from them. "All gone, count the wind and stream of characters, but also look at the present day": this is the last sentence of the whole word, pointing out the theme. The poet passes over the history of feudal society and turns to the present age in which he lives. In a new era, new characters will emerge. The new man of the hour will surely live up to his historical mission, surpass his predecessors and create even greater achievements. This fully demonstrates the poet's self-confidence and great ambition. Mao Zedong's majestic and bold lyrics were praised by Liu Yazi, the head of the Southern Socialist League, as a song for the ages.

Love the bold poetry, which attracts readers with its bold style, majestic momentum and far-reaching mood. Each capital expresses a specific emotion, exudes its own ambition, shows a magnificent momentum, each capital is a classic. The national studies represent the great civilization of the Chinese nation, and poetry is an important part of the national studies. We have been exposed to poetry since we were young, and it is poetry that makes us embark on the road of learning Chinese culture. Among the ancient and modern poems, the bold poems are the most influential on human behavior. There are only three things that come into play when a person acts. One is intuition, the other is habit, and the third is emotion and mood. Magnificent poetry will influence us invisibly and make us look at life with a more positive attitude. Nowadays, with the general neglect of Chinese studies, Chinese education has become very important. There is only one significance of learning Chinese studies, which is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We should pay more and more attention to the study of Chinese studies, starting from the bold poetry.
