Yan'an, the most beautiful word in the world(with an additional poem)

Gao Xuwang

Yan'an, the most beautiful word in the world

The root is deeply in northern Shaanxi

Highlighting the rhetoric and cultivation of the Loess Plateau

Don't forget, there was also a poet

From snowy mountains, grasslands, and Lazikou

In Yangjialing, Zaoyuan

He left wild cursive handwriting for Chinese calligraphy

Leading the younger generations

To create the right path


To the north, Yan'an

Yan'an, in the north

This miraculous ancient city

It closes to the sun

Again and again, over and over

It starts from the Chinese dictionary

And keeps on going under the Baota Mountain

It revises and supplements on both sides of the Yanhe River

Even invites the sun, the moon and stars to discuss

The origin and constitution of the word

And its birthplace and name

And the connection with the heaven, the earth, and the people

Reflecting the context and poetry of northern Shaanxi in mother tongue


Starting from Xi'an, to the north

I always read the past and present of the word

In other words, it's called love

Approaching the roots

Listening to the dialogue between millet and jujube in Northern Shaanxi

And watching the whispers of Yanhe water weed and well-nourished fish

A pile of secrets slips from the wind

Traveling through space

I am near the root of words

I advocate the practice of Chinese characters

Yan'an, the most beautiful word in the world

Is flying in the rhythm of The East Is Red

There is only one direction in my life

There is only one direction in my life, Yan'an

Growing in the blood, praying in the soul

The yeak was not abandoned

Dark days left sadness

Confusion, blood and lostness

Even grassland, snow mountains and knives

Only the fire left by the faith

And the fine lakes and mountains left by millet and pumpkin

Stubbornly chased birds'songs, butterflies and

The clear Yanhe River

And communicated with the divine Baota Mountain


Since then, Yan'an between the gap of Chinese characters and native language

Has been highlighting a light that became a word

It is growing up and down in the big river and inside or outside the Great Wall

It spreads into the root of the word, entangling, contending

Rushing to the place where the sun is breeding

Then jointing, flowering, fruiting


Only one direction: Yan'an

Yan'an, is the only direction

Like the Shandandan of Jinggangshan rising

With the jujube flower of northern Shaanxi

Only the retained, such as a bird

Just for flying, it grows wings

Another example is that

The vessel is holding the flow for the river


There is only one direction in my life, Yan'an

What was sent away is the distance

What was left is hometown
