黄山松
The Pine of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)
好！
黄山松，我大声为你叫好，谁有你挺的硬，扎的稳，站的高；
九千里雷霆，八千里风暴，劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒！
要站就站上云头，七十二峰你峰峰皆到；
要飞就飞上九霄，把美妙的天堂看个饱！
不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭，你双臂一抖，抗的准，击的巧！
更不畏高山雪冷寒彻骨，你折断了霜剑，扭弯了冰刀！
谁有你的根底艰难贫苦啊，你从那紫色的岩上挺起了腰；
即使是裸露着的根须，也把山岩紧紧地拥抱！
你的雄姿像千古高峰不动摇，每一根针叶都闪烁着骄傲；
那背阳的阴处，你横眉怒扫，向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条！
Who else stands as hard, as firm, as high as you?
Nine thousand li of thunder, eight thousand li of storm—
They cannot split you askew, cannot hew you down, cannot blast you over!
If you stand, stand atop the clouds;
Of the seventy-two peaks, you reach every one.
If you fly, soar to the ninth heaven,
And feast your fill on the splendour of paradise!
Unafraid of the valley's chill wind that strikes from the side,
You shake your two arms—warding true, striking sure!
Still less do you fear the mountain snow, cold to the bone,
You snap the frost-swords, you bend the ice-knives!
Who else has roots so hard-tried and poor as yours,
That from the purple rock you straighten your back;
Even when your roots lie bare,
You clasp the cliff tightly in embrace!
Your proud form is like an ancient peak, never swaying,
Every needle gleams with pride;
Where the sunless shade falls, you sweep it with angry brows,
Toward the sunlight, you burst forth ten thousand vigorous branches!
Meaning
A celebratory object-poem (yongwu) in which the Huangshan pine stands for an unbending, upward-striving spirit. Through thunder, storm, frost and ice the poet extols resilience and pride, reflecting the confident, aspirational mood of China's nation-building era.
好！黄山松，我大声为你叫好，谁有你挺的硬，扎的稳，站的高；九千里雷霆，八千里风暴，劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒！要站就站上云头，七十二峰你峰峰皆到；要飞就飞上九霄，把美妙的天堂看个饱！不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭，你双臂一抖，抗的准，击的巧！更不畏高山雪冷寒彻骨，你折断了霜剑，扭弯了冰刀！谁有你的根底艰难贫苦啊，你从那紫色的岩上挺起了腰；即使是裸露着的根须，也把山岩紧紧地拥抱！你的雄姿像千古高峰不动摇，每一根针叶都闪烁着骄傲；那背阳的阴处，你横眉怒扫，向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条！
Appreciation
[Plain Paraphrase] The poem opens with a direct cheer for the pine, then stacks praise—hard, firm, high—before thunder and storm that cannot break it. It climbs to the clouds, reaches every peak, snaps frost-swords and bends ice-knives, and finally bursts toward the sunlight with myriad branches. [Structure] Beginning in apostrophe, the poem moves from praise to ordeal to triumph, each stanza raising the stakes. [Imagery] Personification carries the whole: the pine has arms, a back, angry brows, pride. Hyperbole ("nine thousand li of thunder") and parallel triplets ("split… hew… blast") create a marching, martial rhythm. The closing turn to sunlight resolves the struggle in exultation. As a representative "object-poem with stated intent" of the new era, it fuses natural grandeur with collective self-confidence.

Background
Zhang Wanshu (1938–2012), from Tongcheng, Anhui, was a contemporary Chinese poet who served as chairman of the Anhui Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles. "The Pine of Huangshan" is a free-verse object-poem written in praise of the famous twisted pines of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) in his native Anhui. Composed during the period of socialist nation-building, it belongs to a wave of "chant-the-object, state-the-ideal" poetry that used natural emblems—pines, peaks, rivers—to voice collective resilience and aspiration. Its vigorous, declamatory manner and optimistic militancy made it a staple of school anthologies.
《黄山松》为当代诗人张万舒所作诗。张万舒（1938—2012），安徽桐城人，当代诗人，曾任安徽省文联主席。此诗写咏物写景，为咏黄山松之作。诗中「好！黄山松，我大声为你叫好」写好！黄山松，我大声为你叫好；「九千里雷霆，八千里风暴，劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒」写九千里雷霆，八千里风暴，劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒；「要站就站上云头，七十二峰你峰峰皆到」写要站就站上云头，七十二峰你峰峰皆到；「不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭，你双臂一抖，抗的准，击的巧」写不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭，你双臂一抖，抗的准，击的巧；「那背阳的阴处，你横眉怒扫，向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条」写那背阳的阴处，你横眉怒扫，向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条。张万舒此诗以咏物写景、向着阳光迸出劲枝万千条写其写景之情，豪迈壮阔，是张万舒诗中的名篇。此篇《黄山松》在历代选本中多被收录，其艺术价值与流传之广，正可见此诗在同类题材中的重要地位。诗人以匠心独运之笔写寻常之情事，遂使此作历千载而犹有生气，为后人所称赏不绝。
Art
The poem's art lies in "grandeur and feeling carried by the object." It opens in direct address—"Hail! Pine of Huangshan"—establishing an apostrophic, oratorical tone. Parallel triplets ("split askew… hew down… blast over"; "warding true… striking sure") lend a drumbeat cadence suited to the subject's stubbornness. Personification is total: the pine possesses arms, a waist, angry brows and pride, so the tree becomes a standing hero. Hyperbole ("nine thousand li of thunder, eight thousand li of storm") inflates natural threat to mythic scale, against which the pine's victory feels epic. The middle section escalates from thunder to frost-swords and ice-knives, then to the bare roots embracing the purple rock—each image deepening the proof of endurance. The final turn ("toward the sunlight… ten thousand vigorous branches") releases the built tension in radiant affirmation. Tight, incremental structure and rousing prosody make the poem a model of militant lyricism.
此诗艺术上以「豪迈壮阔、以物写情」见长。全诗共二十行，由好黄山松而九千里雷霆而要站就站上云头。起「好！黄山松，我大声为你叫好」写好！黄山松：好！黄山松，我大声为你叫好；「九千里雷霆，八千里风暴，劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒」写九千里雷霆：九千里雷霆，八千里风暴，劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒；「要站就站上云头，七十二峰你峰峰皆到」写要站就站上云头：要站就站上云头，七十二峰你峰峰皆到；「不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭，你双臂一抖，抗的准，击的巧」写不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭：不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭，你双臂一抖，抗的准，击的巧；结「那背阳的阴处，你横眉怒扫，向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条」写向着阳光：那背阳的阴处，你横眉怒扫，向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条。全诗以物写情，由好黄山松而向着阳光迸出劲枝万千条，豪迈壮阔，是张万舒诗中的名篇。通篇以少总多之法出之，章法严谨而用意深曲，意象凝练而情韵悠长，读之愈久，愈觉其构思之精与笔力之健，堪称同类诗作中不可多得之佳篇，足见诗人炉火纯青的艺术功力。
Allusions
Though a modern free-verse poem, it absorbs traditional motifs. The "nine-thousand-li thunder" and "eight-thousand-li storm" echo the cosmic weather of classical epic description. "Frost-swords" and "ice-knives" personify winter as weaponry, a trope reaching back to poetry that figures cold as blades. The "purple rock" (zise yan) draws on Daoist colour symbolism where purple marks sacred heights (purple palace, purple aura). Most importantly, the pine itself is a perennial symbol of constancy and gentlemanly virtue in Chinese literature (the "three friends of winter"—pine, bamboo, plum). Zhang Wanshu thus updates an ancient emblem: the Confucian "firm and unbending" gentleman becomes the modern, collective spirit that "snaps frost-swords" and "bursts toward the sunlight.
诗中「好黄山松我大声为你叫好」「谁有你挺的硬扎的稳站的高」「九千里雷霆八千里风暴劈不歪砍不动轰不倒」「要站就站上云头七十二峰你峰峰皆到」「要飞就飞上九霄把美妙的天堂看个饱」「不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭你双臂一抖抗的准击的巧」「更不畏高山雪冷寒彻骨你折断了霜剑扭弯了冰刀」「谁有你的根底艰难贫苦啊你从那紫色的岩上挺起了腰」「即使是裸露着的根须也把山岩紧紧地拥抱」「你的雄姿像千古高峰不动摇每一根针叶都闪烁着骄傲」「那背阳的阴处你横眉怒扫向着阳光你迸出劲枝万千条」等语，皆含典故故实。「好黄山松我大声为你叫好」写好黄山松我大声为你叫好；「谁有你挺的硬扎的稳站的高」写谁有你挺的硬扎的稳站的高；「九千里雷霆八千里风暴劈不歪砍不动轰不倒」写九千里雷霆八千里风暴劈不歪砍不动轰不倒；「要站就站上云头七十二峰你峰峰皆到」写要站就站上云头七十二峰你峰峰皆到；「不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭你双臂一抖抗的准击的巧」写不怕山谷里阴风的夹袭你双臂一抖抗的准击的巧；「更不畏高山雪冷寒彻骨你折断了霜剑扭弯了冰刀」写更不畏高山雪冷寒彻骨你折断了霜剑扭弯了冰刀；「你从那紫色的岩上挺起了腰」写你从那紫色的岩上挺起了腰；「你的雄姿像千古高峰不动摇每一根针叶都闪烁着骄傲」写你的雄姿像千古高峰不动摇每一根针叶都闪烁着骄傲；「那背阳的阴处你横眉怒扫向着阳光你迸出劲枝万千条」写那背阳的阴处你横眉怒扫向着阳光你迸出劲枝万千条。诗人以雷霆、风暴等语入诗，不着痕迹，而把咏物写景之情写得真切可感，是善于熔铸典故的体现。
Commentary
Readers and anthologists prize "The Pine of Huangshan" as a quintessential object-poem of the nation-building era. Its blunt, cheering opening ("Hail! Pine of Huangshan, I shout my praise") and its escalating contests with storm, frost and ice give it a declaratory energy unusual in the quieter classical yongwu tradition. Critics note that its value is less philosophical than rhetorical: it succeeds by transforming a mountain tree into a public emblem of perseverance. Set beside classical pine poems (which stress reclusive calm), Zhang's pine is assertive and collective, mirroring the era's optimism. For today's readers it remains a vivid document of mid-twentieth-century Chinese poetic militancy and a useful contrast case in the history of the object-poem.

好！黄山松，我大声为你叫好，
Bravo! Huangshan pine, I shout my praises loud for you,
起句写好！黄山松，起笔即见其赞。「好！黄山松」写好！黄山松，「好」写好、「黄山松」写黄山松；「我大声为你叫好」写我大声为你叫好，「我大声」写我大声、「为你叫好」写为你叫好。两句一写好！黄山松、一写我大声为你叫好，以好黄山松写叫好、以我大声为你叫好写为你叫好，写尽好！黄山松、我大声为你叫好之情。以赞起兴，豪迈而壮阔，是「以赞起兴」的妙笔。
The poem opens with a cheer. Bravo! Huangshan pine, I shout my praises loud for you. The opening is already applause, the poet addressing the tree directly rather than describing it; the loudness and the direct address declare that this is not landscape poetry but an ode to character. The Huangshan pine, rooted in cliff cracks, is a national symbol of defiance, and the cheer introduces it as such. To have said I admired the pine would be quiet; the shouted bravo is the admiration.
劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒！
They cannot split you askew, cannot hew you down, cannot blast you over!
劈不歪，砍不动，轰不倒！
You cannot be split crooked, cannot be felled, cannot be blasted down!
此句写劈不歪，是全诗写松骨之态的关键。「劈不歪」写劈不歪，「劈」写劈、「不歪」写不歪；「砍不动，轰不倒」写砍不动，轰不倒，「砍不动」写砍不动、「轰不倒」写轰不倒。一句写劈不歪砍不动轰不倒，以劈不歪写劈不歪、以砍不动轰不倒写轰不倒，写尽劈不歪、砍不动，轰不倒之情。以骨写情，豪迈而壮阔，是「以骨写情」的点睛之笔。
The three negatives are the poem's spine. You cannot be split crooked, cannot be felled, cannot be blasted down. Three verbs of human violence—the axe, the saw, the explosion—each fails against the tree. The escalating force (split, fell, blast) measures what the pine survives. It is written as a credo, and the parallel three-bar rhythm is meant to be recited. To have said the pine was unbreakable would be an adjective; the three failed weapons are the unbreakableness.
你折断了霜剑，扭弯了冰刀！
You snap the frost-swords, you bend the ice-knives!
你折断了霜剑，扭弯了冰刀！
You have snapped the swords of frost, bent the knives of ice!
此句写你折断了霜剑，是全诗写折剑之态的关键。「你折断了霜剑」写你折断了霜剑，「你折断」写你折断、「霜剑」写霜剑；「扭弯了冰刀」写扭弯了冰刀，「扭弯」写扭弯、「冰刀」写冰刀。一句写你折断了霜剑扭弯了冰刀，以你折断了霜剑写折霜剑、以扭弯了冰刀写扭冰刀，写尽你折断了霜剑、扭弯了冰刀之情。以剑写情，豪迈而壮阔，是「以剑写情」的点睛之笔。
The next turn is counterattack. You have snapped the swords of frost, bent the knives of ice. The weather, which should threaten the tree, is itself defeated: frost becomes a blade the pine snaps, ice a knife the pine bends. The personification reverses expectation—the victim disarms the elements. This is the pine's toughness as active rather than passive. To have said the pine survived frost and ice would be endurance; the snapped swords and bent knives are the victory.
向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条！
Toward the sunlight, you burst forth ten thousand vigorous branches!
向着阳光，你迸出劲枝万千条！
Toward the sunlight you burst forth in tens of thousands of sturdy branches!
结句写向着阳光，是全诗立意的落点。「向着阳光」写向着阳光，「向着」写向着、「阳光」写阳光；「你迸出劲枝万千条」写你迸出劲枝万千条，「你迸出」写你迸出、「劲枝万千条」写劲枝万千条。两句一写向着阳光、一写你迸出劲枝万千条，以向着阳光写阳光、以你迸出劲枝万千条写万千条，写尽向着阳光、你迸出劲枝万千条之情。以光写情，豪迈而壮阔，是全诗最动人处，也是「以光写情」的点睛之笔。
The closing turns from defiance to growth. Toward the sunlight you burst forth in tens of thousands of sturdy branches. The burst is sudden and proliferating: after surviving everything, the pine does not merely endure but multiplies, throwing branches toward the light. The word for forceful burst is the whole optimism of the ode—resistance ending in abundance. To have said the pine grew toward the sun would be passive; the burst of ten thousand branches is the vigor.
