中国处处有文化,文化中也时时讲述着中国。有的人从语言中了解中国,有的人从饮食中了解中国,有的人从音乐中了解中国……我却偏爱中国的古诗词。对我而言,中国诗词就像是古人写给我们的信,虽然穿越了千年,却仍然蕴含着许多的智慧与道理。
今天,就请大家与我一起,看看诗词里的中国吧!
诗词里有民间的人生百味。我曾读过“谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦”,脑海中浮现的是劳动人民在田间劳作、汗水滴入土地的辛苦场景。我疑惑,在今天,一个拥有14亿多人口的国家,怎么做到人人丰衣足食、生活幸福美好?老师告诉我,有一位智慧的中国老人叫袁隆平,他用双手培育“超级稻”,用双脚丈量土地,不仅为中国更为全人类带来金色的收获,“稻花香里说丰年,听取蛙声一片”。
在这里,我看到,人民丰衣足食、安居乐业的中国。
诗词里有诗人情感的肆意挥洒。我曾读过“蜀道之难,难于上青天!”,仿佛亲眼看到高山拔地而起、小路蜿蜒艰险。我想,这样的地方人民怎么生活?但是如今,一座座桥梁、一条条隧道连通巴蜀大地,让当地的特色产品“走出去”,让外面的丰富资源“运进来”。我感叹“中国速度”,更感动于“中国速度”背后的努力!
在这里,我看到,以人为本、飞速发展的中国。
诗词里有磅礴的大好河山。我曾读过“大漠孤烟直,长河落日圆”,想去那里领略沙漠落日的美景,又害怕那里荒无人烟。但现在,中国通过退耕还林、科学治沙,让沙漠中生出绿洲,建造人与自然和谐共生的美丽家园。
在这里,我看到,天人合一、绿色和谐的中国。
诗词里还有中国人民对未来的无限向往。我曾读过许许多多与“月亮”有关的中国古诗词,但最喜欢“俱怀逸兴壮思飞,欲上青天揽明月”。古往今来,穿越时空,天与地的距离都无法阻挡人们对未知的向往!“嫦娥号”飞天,“月兔车”登月,一代代中国人的探索,让这些浪漫的神话形象带着古人的梦想飞向太空。

There is culture everywhere in China, and culture always tells stories about the nation. Some people understand China from language, some from food, and some from music... But I prefer Chinese ancient poetry. To me, Chinese poetry is like letters the ancients wrote to us. Although a letter has traveled through thousands of years, it still contains a lot of wisdom and truth.
Today, please join me and take a look at China in poetry!
Poems contain various tastes of folk life. I once read “Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is laborious?” What came to my mind was the hard work scene of working people in the fields, sweat dripping into the land. I wonder, today, in a country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, how can everyone has enough food and clothing and lives a happy and beautiful life? The teacher told me that there was a wise old Chinese man named Yuan Longping. He cultivated “super rice” with his hands and measured the land with his feet, bringing golden harvests not only to China but to all mankind, “The fragrance of rice flowers and the sound of frogs tell of a good harvest”.
Here, I see a China where the people have enough food and clothing and live and work in peace and contentment.
Poems contain poets’ wanton expression of emotion. I once read, “The road to Shu (Sichuan) is as difficult as climbing to the sky!” It was like seeing the mountains rising from the ground and the winding and dangerous roads with my own eyes. I thought, how do people live in a place like this? But now, bridges and tunnels connect the land of Bashu and Sichuan, allowing local specialty products to “go out” and rich resources from outside to “bring in”. I was amazed by the “China Speed” and was even more moved by the efforts behind the “China Speed”.
Here, I see a people-oriented and rapidly developing China.
Majestic rivers and mountains in the poems. I once read “The lonely smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river”. I wanted to go there to appreciate the beauty of the sunset in the desert, but I was afraid that it would be deserted. But now, through returning farmland to forests and scientifically controlling desertification, China has created oases in the desert and built a beautiful home where human and nature can coexist harmoniously.
Here, I see a China where human and nature are one, green and harmonious.
Poems contain Chinese people’s infinite yearning for the future. I have read many ancient Chinese poems related to the “moon”, but my favorite one is “Everyone is full of joy and wants to fly, to go up to the sky, and to embrace the bright moon”. Throughout the ages, traveling through time and space, and the distance between heaven and earth cannot stop people from yearning for the unknown! The Chang’e lunar probe flew into the sky and the Moon Rabbit lunar rover landed on the moon. The exploration of generations of Chinese people has allowed these romantic mythological images to fly into space with the dreams of the ancients.
