Explanation of Shu embroidery lyrics

What is interesting about the single "Shu Embroidery" is that the lyrics of this single were written by Guo Jingming, a famous writer born in the 1980s. Although "Shu Embroidery" uses elegant words and outlines the image of an embroiderer who has a deep love for her lover who is fighting for the country. It's sincere, but the overall style is very similar to Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain".

Yesterday, Guo Jingming posted the lyrics of "Shu Embroidery" on his blog, not afraid of being questioned by netizens for his lack of creativity. After reading the lyrics, Bashu ghost genius Wei Minglun said euphemistically: "Shu embroidery has a profound culture, but the lyrics do not fully express it. It looks like a child talking with a white beard."

The lyrics have too little "Shu" flavor

"Except for the word 'Hibiscus City' in the first sentence, there is no clue that the lyrics are about Shu embroidery." Wei Minglun said that he and Guo Jingming are both from Zigong. As a fellow countryman, I have always paid close attention to Guo Jingming's works. Although the wording of "Shu Embroidery" is quite reminiscent of Song lyrics, Xiaoling and Yuan people's Sanqu, it is full of poetry and is much better than ordinary saliva songs, but this song does not have the "Bashu" flavor enough. strong.

Wei Minglun said that Shu embroidery became world-famous during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and people often used Shu embroidery as a token of love. In the 1970s, almost every household in the rural areas of western Sichuan had female celebrities and needleworkers. However, the lyrics of "Shu Embroidery" do not express these characteristics of Shu embroidery: "Scenes such as 'silk threads sewing Shaohua, red dust and thousands of tents' lights' mentioned in the song can also be used in Hunan embroidery, Su embroidery, and Cantonese embroidery."< /p>

Details cannot withstand scrutiny

"The lyrics of this song look like they were written by a child, and many details cannot withstand scrutiny." Wei Minglun gave an example, "For example, the lyrics' The sound of peonies dyeing copper bottles and the sound of herding flutes all over the city is not describing Chengdu at all. Chengdu is not a place where nomadic people live. Therefore, how can there be the sound of herding flutes all over the city? "

In addition, Wei Minglun also said that some words in "Shu Embroidery" are also somewhat unclear. For example, the lyrics "Watching the iron horse treading the glacier, meeting the youth with silk threads, and the lanterns thousands of feet in the world of mortals" are a bit confusing. not understand. As for whether it is appropriate for Li Yuchun to sing "Sichuan Embroidery", Wei Minglun only said: "Anyway, Li Yuchun is also a Chengdu girl, so she can sing if she likes!"
