In the end of 1935,The Red Army arrived in Shanbei through Long March.At the same time,Beiping (Peking)broke out the "12.9 Student Movement".During the day from 17th until 25th December,the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China hold the The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau,and formed "The central resolution on military strategy"and"The Central Committee of the CCP about resolution of political situation and the tasks of the party at present",and then raised The Anti Japanese national united front policy.A new turning of Chinese society was coming.Although the conditions were extremely hard that time,the fresh hope appeared.Mao Zedong,as a sensitive politics,felt this hope and by a simple short-legged table in a farmer's house in a village of In Northern Shaanxi,wrote the most brilliant poem:"Snow:to the tune of Chin Yuan Chun" See what the northern countries show: Hundreds of leagues ice-bound go; Thousands of leagues flies snow. Behold!Within and without the Great Wall The boundless land is clad in white. And up and down the Yellow River,all The endless waves are lost to sight. Mountains like silver serpents dancing.Highlands like waxy elephants advancing, All try to match the sky in height. Wait till the day is fine And see the fair bask in sparkling sunshine,What an enchanting sight! Our motherland so rich in beauty Has made countless heroes vie to pay her their duty But alas!Qin Huang and Han Wu In culture not well bred, And Tang Zong and Song Zu In letters not wide read, And Genghis Khan,proud son of Heaven for a day, Knew only shooting eagles by bending his bows. They have all passed away; Brilliant heroes are those,Whom we will see today! On this poet,many scholars had written down a lot of critics.However,I want to emphasize here that the significant factor of this poem is the affective impulse of Utopia and the ideal of Communism."They have all passed away;Brilliant heroes are those,Whom we will see today!"These lines not only possess the sense of eminence of Romanticism,but also holds a Value sense of superiority of being beyond history.From the idea and emotion of this poem,it can be concluded that the aesthetics of Mao Zedong contains a deep factor of Romanism. American scholar Ross Trier wrote in his "A Biography of Mao Tsetung","Snow is a poem of natural nationalism,and it is the magnificent mountains and rivers enable Mao such a strong idea that the current china was more powerful and great than any other time during the past 4000 years in history.Mao was trying to unite all people to establish the Anti Japanese United Front.His hero dream put china as his highest job and it was in th time when China faced the most critical time,which was even more severe than the time of Genghis Khan." In my opinion,Mao'e poem already contains the basic factor of"the Chinese dream"today we tries to establish and that is to make the revival of nationhood as the main goal and regard the realism as the base of the modern society and build the socialism as the aim of the Utopia impulse.These three cultural genes,under the
