Only the great explosive power of lightning can make the land of China exude vitality, but the social and political situation is not angry, but a kind of sadness.

I suggest that God stand up again and give full play to his talents.

translate

If such a big China wants to regain its vigor and vitality, it must rely on reform. After all, it is heartbreaking to have a million horses. I advise the emperor to rally, don't stick to certain specifications, and send more talents.

This is an excellent political song. The whole poem has distinct levels and is divided into three levels: the first level describes the lifeless real society in which thousands of troops and horses are silent and the ruling and opposition parties are silent. On the second level, the author points out that to change this dreary and decadent situation, we must rely on the great power like a storm. For example, China must undergo magnificent social changes in order to be full of vitality. Thirdly, the author believes that such strength comes from talents, and what the court should do is to recommend talents in an exceptional way. Only in this way can there be hope for China. Subjective images such as "Kyushu", "Lei Feng", "Wanma" and "Heavenly Palace" are chosen in the poem, which are profound and magnificent.

The first two sentences of this poem use two metaphors to express the poet's views on the situation in China at that time. Under the decadent and cruel reactionary rule, the metaphorical thought of "ten thousand horses together" was imprisoned, talent was stifled, and drowsiness, vulgarity, ignorance, silence and suffocation were everywhere. "Wind and thunder" is a metaphor for emerging social forces and sharp and violent reforms. Looking at the overall situation and the overall artistic realm is magnificent and profound. The last two sentences of the poem, "I urge God to be energetic again and drop talents in an unconventional way", are well-known sentences. The poet expressed his ardent hope with his peculiar imagination. He looked forward to the emergence of outstanding figures, forming a new "storm" and new vitality in the general trend of reform, sweeping away the dullness and depression that enveloped Kyushu, exposing contradictions, criticizing reality, looking forward to the future and full of ideals. It is unique, unique, calling for change and the future.
