我一贯认为科技是振兴国家的一种手段,而“诗词乃民族灵魂之一缕”。诗词能反映和焕发一个人的精神面貌,特别是在某一特定的生活状态或工作过程中。我就是在我的生活和研究工作遇到困难或获得进展时吟诗的。大家知道我是研究三峡工程水轮机的,搞了四五十年了,但做诗却是“文革”中在牛尾巴后面真正开始的。请听:牛尾吟诗事已奇,若非文革我无诗,长河神女容相识,代画双眉漫笑痴。在向阳湖上放牛时。看到牛尾部那两个涡和牛尾巴的摆动使我联想起苦苦研究的水轮机中的“双涡”。只有解散“双涡”才能使水轮机运转稳定。“文革”后我继续研究,推导了公式。1955年3月,我应机械工业部邀请去德阳参加“三峡程机组设计研讨会”,主持会议的梁维燕院士在预备会议上说: I have always regarded science and technology as a means of rejuvenating the country, and “poetry is a ray of national soul.” Poetry can reflect and rejuvenate a person’s mental outlook, especially in a particular state of life or work process. I was singing poetry in the face of difficulties or progress in my life and research. We all know that I was studying the turbine of the Three Gorges Project. I did it for forty or fifty years, but it is the poetry that really started behind the ox tail in the Cultural Revolution. Please listen: Oxtail poem has been odd, if the non-Cultural Revolution I have no poetry, the river goddess deja vu, painting Shuangmei Manzhuo. In Xiangyang Lake when cattle. The sight of the two vortices in the oxtail and the swing of the oxtail reminds me of the “double vortex” in the turbines that I worked hard to study. Only the dissolution of “double vortex” can make the turbine run stably. After the Cultural Revolution, I continued to study and deduced the formula. In March 1955, at the invitation of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, I invited Deyang to participate in the “Design Workshop for the Three Gorges Project”. At the preliminary meeting, Academician Liang Weiyan, who chaired the meeting, said:
