Small and big(with an additional poem)

Nie Quan

Yangjialing, the former dwelling place of Mao Zedong

A cave

1938.11-1943.10

One desk and one chair

Two rocking chairs for guests


Zaoyuan, the former dwelling place of Mao Zedong

Cave

1943.10-1945.12

Is still with

One desk and one chair


The war room displayed situation map of the enemy and ourselves

A cave

Is also a small room


Just like cooking a small delicacy

Liberation which gave people happiness

Was a perfect art

Just as going within palm

It showed a big world by an inch of land

It fought with the big by smallness, it conquered the giant by puniness

It defeated the modern equipment by simple weapons

Picture of Yan'an

Cave, loess

Plants, the stretching hills


They are not eye-catching, but like standing water

Running deeply, like Yellow River

Keeping its countenance

But passes thousands of miles


Hukou, when it needs to turn, suddenly

It falls intensely

Rushing vehemently

Without an end


In the picture of Yan'an

Every tiny ordinariness

Contains

Chinese old cultural spirit
