Exercise: In the 'Côn Sơn ca' text by Nguyễn Trãi, the author praises the wonders of nature. How does Nguyễn Trãi's joy compare and contrast with Hồ Chí Minh in the poem 'Tức cảnh Pác Bó'
Comparing the wonders of nature in the 'Côn Sơn ca' poem and 'Tức cảnh Pác Bó'
1. Sample 1:
Nguyễn Trãi once praised the 'wild forest and stream' joy (the joy of living with the forest and streams) in the poem Côn Sơn ca. In this poem, Hồ Chí Minh also expresses that same joy. However, Nguyễn Trãi's 'wild forest and stream' is the 'wild forest and stream' of a helpless recluse before the societal reality, seeking to 'retreat within,' and finding a life of 'simplicity and enlightenment.' In Hồ Chí Minh, the 'wild forest and stream' is still associated with an active, soldierly person. The sincere character in the poem may have the appearance of a recluse, but in reality, they are a dedicated soldier striving for the independence and freedom of the homeland (Talking about the unyielding historical role of the Party).
2. Sample 2:
+ Similarities: Both Nguyễn Trãi and Uncle Hồ demonstrate a harmonious connection with nature, living a carefree and self-sufficient lifestyle, disregarding materialistic aspects, and emphasizing the nobility of spiritual life.
In pursuit of a different path, Nguyễn Trãi embarked on the realm of hermitage, forsaking wealth and prestige, retreating to maintain purity, yet turning away from the tainted world - an enigmatic recluse.
- Bác sought the sanctuary of wilderness to revolutionarily strive for the liberation of the people and the nation from the shackles of oppressive misery - Bác was a valiant warrior.
