Ants on the locust tree assume a great nation s\Magger And mayflies lightly plot to topple the giant tree. The west wind scatters leaves over Changan, And the arrows are flying, twanging. So many deeds cry out to be done, And always urgently; The world rolls on, Time presses. Ten thousand years are too long, Seize the day, seize the hour! The Four Seas are rising, clouds and waters raging, The Five Continents are rocking, wind and thunder roaring. Away with all pests! Our force is irresistible. February 5, 1963 Line 6: In the short story prefect of the southern Branch by Li Kung-tso, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, a man dozing under a rocust tree dreami that he married the princess of the Great Locust Kingd.om and was made prefect of the southern Branch. when he awoke, he found that the kingdom was an ants,hole under the tree. Line 7: In one of his poems Han Yu (768-824), a distinguished writer of the Tang Dynasty, sarcastically compared people over-reaching themselves to "mayfiies which attempt to shake the giant tree.,' Line B: An allusion to the famous lines of Chia Tao (779?-B4B), a Tang poet: The rarest wind sweeps over the waters of Wei And everywhere leaves are falling in Changan.

In the great proletarian cultural revolution a revolution which is shaking the nation and the whole ',vorld, there has been an unprecedented new upsurge- in the creative study and application of Chairman Mao's works among the commanders and fighters of .the Chinese People's Liberation Army arld the hundreds of millions cf the revolutionary masses of China. Chairman Mao's close eomrade-in-arms Comrade Lin Piao not long ago called on the whole army to study Chairman Mao's "three constantly read articles" (Sente the Peaple, In Memory of Norrnafl Bethune and ?he Eoalish Olil Man Wh,o Remooed, the Mounta,ins). He said: "We must study the 'three constantly read articles' as maxims. These must be studied at all levels. We must apply what we stuciy so as to revolutionize our thinking." Warmly responding to this call, the revolutionery masses are diligently studying and applying these three brilliant works, making great efforts to remould their thinking, destroying self-interest and prornoting devotion to the public interest, and revolutionize themseh.es to the very depths of their souls- In response to requests from many of our readers, we are starting with this issue to publish Chairman Mao's "three constantly read articles." We will also carrlz comments on them and other material to assist in their study.
