Articles about combining Tang poetry and Song lyrics with life

Original thesis: The ancient rhyme complex of male singers in the pop music world

——The application of Tang poetry and Song lyrics in pop songs in recent years

Foreword: "The role of Tang poetry and Song lyrics in recent years "Usage in popular songs" is not a new academic topic. Many careful people have already done professional research on the use of metamorphosis in Tang poetry and Song lyrics. Therefore, repeating any theory will inevitably fall into the trap of clichés. I want to study this year's music scene. Popular songs should not be far behind, so the scope of this paper has been narrowed. First, the main research object is songs from the pop music scene in the past two years. Secondly, the additional research object is male singers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China. The study of singers and songs is inseparable, just as poets and poetry are inseparable. In addition, when it comes to "retro songs", the concept of retro in this article is different from the current concept of "retro" in retro clothing and retro makeup. I’m very confused as to why the style elements of the European courts are called our nation’s “retro” art in current fashion elements. Regardless of whether it’s right or wrong, the “retro songs” I mentioned are songs with an ancient feel.

A group of more talented young male singers appear in today’s music scene. Those who can write will always write a few classical songs to show off their classical literary background. This is exactly the fact. , no matter how beautiful or numb the vernacular lyrics are, it is really not as effective as a few classical lyrics. After all, that is the essence and classic of Chinese culture. Compared with the more famous batch of songs that became popular with costume dramas in previous decades - such as the theme song "A Laugh from the Sea" - these songs are mixed with the characteristics of the new era. New songs with new emotional content and new emotional expressions have shown new vitality. Because most of the lyricists of that era were middle-aged and above who were familiar with ancient poetry, and a group of new singers in modern times often borrowed classical poetry to increase their emotional effect. “Using classical poetry to create modern pop songs, on the one hand, makes The lyrics inherit the refinement of traditional poetry language and the implicit and restrained expression method. On the other hand, there is undoubtedly a preconceived shortcut in expressing the theme. Whether it is about the feelings of family and country, or the feelings of children, classical poetry often has It condenses language and emotion together, thereby adding a lot of unforgettable space and long lasting charm of artistic conception." Therefore, modern singers probably discovered this "shortcut" and began to splash classical ink. Therefore, there is a public opinion guide that "a singer must have a variety of creative styles to be called a talented singer". But they pay more attention to the beauty of words, that is, the artistic effect of lyrics.

The use of Tang poetry and Song lyrics in popular songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan is still somewhat different from that in mainland China. Take the 1990s as an example, "the penetration of classical poetry in Hong Kong's popular songs is not the same as that in mainland China." It is obviously beyond the mainland and Taiwan. This may be closely related to the popularity of Hong Kong's classical martial arts dramas and historical dramas. On the other hand, it attaches great importance to the penetration of Cantonese culture. The lyrics are mostly based on the Cantonese word and sentence construction. Cantonese itself is called vernacular, and its language has many similarities with classical Chinese. Therefore, the works of many Hong Kong lyricists often combine vulgarity and elegance. Looking at Taiwanese lyrics, Taiwanese lyrics are more focused on modern texts. Pay more attention to romance, but it also happens to be a main material for many old poems. "Therefore, due to the differences in cultural atmosphere and background, the songs of Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China must be studied separately. However, I will not separate the works from the two places here for the time being, because whether it is the translation of Tang poetry and Song lyrics in mainland songs or Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, that is, translation, it is inseparable from several basic methods of translation. So I first pulled out some popular works to cool down.

First of all, some popular songs are direct adaptations of Tang poetry and Song lyrics. I define it as "poetry". There are not many popular songs in which singers directly quote verses. The older generation of lyricists would directly set the entire poem to music, thus creating a series of theme songs for costume dramas. But nowadays, it is not very popular to use the whole poem to set it to music, because the poem itself has a certain contemporary and traditional color, and the act of composing a poem out of it will not reflect the talent of the lyricist, no matter how good it sounds. It’s just that the melody of the song is good. Therefore, singers often choose to use one or a few verses that echo the emotions to be expressed in the song to add charm. Take "Magpie Bridge Immortal" by Huaer Band as an example:

The hearts are connected and the whole body is connected / I only hope to be a mandarin duck and don't envy the fairyland / I wish to live forever / Like spring silkworms, they are all gone until they die / Spring smoke and willows are green It’s better to look at you/Sigh that no one in this world knows you/The ruthless beauty in the flowing water has intentions/It is the most difficult thing to not be with you/The birds on the tree come in pairs/The green water and green mountains are who I am thinking of/The wild flowers on the roadside are ignored /Only Looking forward to the Double Magpie Bridge Meeting/

Huaer Band is a young band in mainland China that is more capable of "producing". It is generally accepted that they can do it. The lyrics of this song were also created by them. To be precise, it is more like a patchwork combination. "Last night the stars and the wind were on the west side of the painting building and on the east side of Guitang. I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind." From Li Shangyin's "Untitled". Also from Li Shangyin is one of "Untitled": "It's hard to say goodbye when we meet. The east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered. The silkworms will die when the spring silkworms die, and the wax torch will turn to ashes before tears dry up." There is also Gao Shi's " "Farewell Dong Da": "Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sun, the north wind blows the wild geese and the snow. Don't worry about the road ahead without any friends, and no one in the world knows you." These ancient emotional quotes were used by them to spell out and became a rhyme. song.

In fact, this is not difficult. Most of the lines that express emotions in ancient poetry are very beautiful, very vague, and very euphemistic. It is easy to clear up the meaning by adding a word and subtracting a word. And after adding and subtracting words, the poem itself becomes The deep love seems to have diminished. After all, without the continuation and echo of the emotions in the original poem, the charm of the poem lacks a background environment or atmosphere, so the only remaining verses in this song are their The meaning and a little classical flavor. Therefore, in my opinion, the lyrics of this song are not literary and artistic at all, but the music is well matched.

Also using poetry, a familiar song from last year - Zhou Chuanxiong's "Lonely Sandbank" owes its popularity to Su Shi's "Bu Suanzi" "The missing moon hangs the sparse tung trees, and the missing people are missing" It's quiet in the beginning. Who sees the lonely person coming and going? He is startled but looks back. He refuses to pick up all the cold branches. But in the hands of Zhou Chuanxiong, "the lonely sandbank". The coldness is no longer due to Su Shi's failure, but due to the world of mortals. It doesn't sound weird, but it actually fits perfectly. Zhou's choice of "Lonely Sandbank Cold" as the title of the song shows the "finishing point" effect of this sentence.

Secondly, some popular songs are indirect uses of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, which I define as "transformation of meaning." The so-called "transformation of meaning" means that the song itself does not have many or even one verse, but its atmosphere and environment are in a classical environment and full of classical charm. In this way, there are many songs that convey meanings. One of my favorite songs recently is Jay Chou's new song "Blue and White Porcelain". Just by hearing the name, you can tell that it is a classical song. Let’s take a look at the lyrics first:

The blue and white strokes outlined by the embryo are thick and light/The peonies depicted on the bottle are just like your first makeup/The sandalwood scent shines through the window and I understand your thoughts/The writing on the rice paper stops here Half/The glaze color renders the charm of the lady's picture and is hidden/And your beautiful smile is like a bud waiting to be released/A wisp of your beauty drifts to a place I can't go/The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain, but I am waiting for you/The smoke curls up across the room The river is thousands of miles away/The Han Dynasty writing on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty/Just treat me as a foreshadowing for meeting you/The sky is blue and waiting for the mist and rain, and I am waiting for you/The moonlight is salvaged and fainted and the ending/Like the blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation. Gu Zi is beautiful, your eyes are smiling/The white and blue koi leaps at the bottom of the bowl/I copy the Song style inscription but I am thinking of you/The secret you have hidden in the kiln for thousands of years/Exquisitely like an embroidery needle falling to the ground/The plantains outside the curtain are messed up The door knocker in the shower offended you/And I passed by that Jiangnan town and offended you/In the splash-ink landscape painting, you were hidden from the depths of the ink/

Many people like this song like me. In fact, Jay Chou’s Most of the songs were written by Mr. Fang Wenshan, and Fang Wenshan's talent is clearly visible in the lyrics of this song alone. His lyrics are often very beautiful. Where is the beauty? The first is to incorporate a large number of beautiful things into the lyrics. These colors may be bright or elegant, but they will never cause any "color vision conflict" problem. Take this song as an example. The colors in your mind are nothing more than "cyan", "grey", "uranium", "copper green" and "black". These colors are actually very harmonious in Chinese paintings, so the beauty comes naturally. Secondly, the thinking in lyrics is often very jumpy. You may not understand the meaning or reason just by looking at the sentences. One moment he talked about this scene, and the next moment he talked about that person. The beauty of the sentence "The sky is blue waiting for misty rain and I'm waiting for you" lies in the combination of people, scenery and nature. In addition, a large number of rhetoric, metaphors and exaggerations make his words outline a picture. The melody of the music itself has the function of making people subconsciously imagine, so rich things fill the listener's mind picture. Many people who have listened to this song can picture this when they first hear it: "an encounter in an alley in a small water town in the south of the Yangtze River", and the love story of a classical beauty and a scholar comes to mind.

There are also some popular songs that historicalize the background of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, which I define as "history". What is the so-called "history of transformation"? There are many things that can be cited in history: the fight for hegemony and intrigues; the things that are well-known to everyone and the folk customs, there are countless things. There are more people who can be praised in history. The emperor's loneliness, the emperor's wisdom, the emperor's hard work; the loyalty of the ministers, the ambition of the ministers, and the love of the ministers are all cultural treasures that have been unearthed for hundreds of years. Therefore, "history of transformation" is specifically divided into two aspects: "transformation of people" and "transformation of things". There is a song called "Xin Qiji" among Yuquan's songs very early, but it is obviously not as famous as their other works. Not to mention the reasons, let’s look at the words:

Watching the sword while drunk and burning the lamp / The dream comes back to the company of blowing horns / The bow is like a thunderbolt and startles the string / The wind is always blown away by the rain / How can I see that the anger swallows thousands of miles like a tiger / Laugh at everything in the world / The spring breeze will not dye your hair white / How can you forget the cold winter and the ice and autumn / When you are drunk, you are greedy for laughter / Lian Po is still young and happy / Where can you look at China / The endless Yangtze River is rolling / How many things have happened through the ages / The battle between gold and iron horses Endlessly/Who is the hero in the world/Winning fame behind his back/Suddenly looking back to count the romantics/Not the emperor, not the emperor, not the king, not the princes/.

You can see the phrases "Qingyu Case", "Broken Time" and "Yong Yule" everywhere. In fact, it is a "Collection of Xin Qiji's Ci". Compared with the previous lyrics of the Hua'er Band, this ci is better. That is, it is called "Xin Qiji" to reflect Xin Qiji's character traits. Generally speaking, these words are well chosen, and the meanings are well connected. They are bold and uninhibited, just like Xin Qiji's character. The last sentence "neither an emperor, nor an emperor, nor a monarch, nor a prince" is a desolate ending in life, but it also seems calm and heroic. However, simply relying on verses to compose songs lacks fun. Because it is too straightforward and lacks the charm and thinking space of music, so once you listen to it once, you feel good. After listening to it a few times, you no longer feel that there is any meaning to be found. .

Look at Tao Zhe's "Looking at the Spring Breeze" again: Alone at night without a companion under the lamp/The breeze blows across the other side/Unmarried at the age of seventeen or eighteen/Thinking about the young family/As expected, the face is beautiful and the flesh is white/Whose family is a child/ Thinking about the unexpected situation without greetings / Playing the pipa in the heart / Who said that a woman's heart is difficult to guess / I owe someone to love / Flowers bloom when they are broken and need to be picked / Youth is the cutest / You sell your own flowers and wear them yourself / Love and hate are more comfortable / Just for life Never do it again/Why not let go/

It is not difficult to see that the words describe the pure and shy heart palpitations of a young girl. The most wonderful thing is the sentence "I don't want to be surprised by the unexpected greetings, and I play the pipa in my heart." It has the feeling of "A man comes riding a bamboo horse, leaving the bed to play with green plums", and also has the feeling of "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, the road is ruthless but affectionate." The rhyme. The sentence "When flowers bloom, they need to be pruned." This originally comes from the poem "Golden Thread Song" written by an unknown person in the Tang Dynasty (also known as Du Qiuniang). "You must break off the branches, don't wait until there are no flowers." Du Qiuniang wants to persuade students to work hard and cherish time. It is obvious from Tao Caizi's song that he uses flower time to embody women's youth, hoping that these shy and passive girls can grow up in the future. She becomes more proactive emotionally and has the independent psychological color of women in the new era. "You sell your own flowers and wear them yourself. You are free to love and hate. Just because you don't have to start your life over again, why not let go." This is a bold continuation of the fate of these girls.

In the hands of this new group of celebrities in the pop music scene, poetry has inspired them, and they have also given poetry new vitality and connotation. Comparing the works of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, the differences are still huge.

Since the end of the last century, Hong Kong and Taiwan have emerged a group of lyricists with strong literary foundations. Huang Zhan, the lyricist of "A Smile in the Sea", the theme song of "The Swordsman", and Deng Weixiong, the lyricist of "Iron-Blooded Heart", the theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", are both very popular lyricists. As the popularity of rap music and "Zhou-style" music continues to expand, these lyrics from the older generation can no longer reach the top of the popular rankings. Talents emerge from generation to generation, and in the era of a new generation of singers, these musical talents from Hong Kong and Taiwan have not forgotten the essence of traditional Chinese culture while becoming popular. Unlike the older generation of lyricists, they know that their literary skills cannot be compared with the older generation. At the same time, under the influence of changes in popular elements, the shadow of Tang poetry and Song lyrics in popular songs is no longer so obvious. More Yes, the poet pays attention to the shaping of meaning. Jay Chou's "Hair Like Snow" created an obscure and beautiful artistic conception: The beauty is haggard in the wolf-mooned moon/I drank up the wind and snow with a toast/Who overturned the cabinet in the past life and stirred up dust and trouble/How many reincarnations of Yuanzijue have you frowning? Crying and beauty cannot be brought back/Even though the history has turned to ashes, my love will never die/Prosperity is like three thousand east flowing water/I only take a scoop of love to understand/I only love the butterfly you incarnate/...Your hair is like snow and my tears are flying. I am waiting to grow old. Who/In the drunken years of the mortal world, I carved a monument of eternal love for you without regrets/.

Secondly, in recent years, the use of Tang poetry and Song lyrics in popular songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan has become more flexible. They are no longer written like poetry, but more colloquial and ethereal. On the one hand, colloquialism makes the lyrics more popular and popular; on the other hand, the lyrics are not overtly superficial, but enhance the jumping nature of the content, just like putting a veil over the emotions to be expressed, so the emotional The expression is more tactful and fashionable. The old song "Iron-Blooded Heart": Faintly dreaming like I have seen it before/The waves in my heart appear/Abandon the worldly affairs and let go of all sorrows/Go to the horizon together/Chasing grass in all directions/The desert is vast/How can I be afraid of the snow and frost hitting my face/Shooting a vulture and drawing a bow/Running beyond the Great Wall / Xiaoao is never bored in this life. . . . . . You should know that love is like flowing water/, it looks like poetry; and modern songs, for example, "Cao Cao" by JJ Lin: If you are not a hero and have not read the Three Kingdoms, if you are a hero, how can you not understand loneliness? Walking down the long slope alone, the moonlight is too gentle. . . Except for the rhyme, it no longer looks like poetry.

In addition, a large number of popular songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan use Tang poetry and Song lyrics, which are mostly used in love songs. Unlike the older generation of lyricists, most people of that generation are like the lyricists of "My Chinese Heart" , passionately patriotic, and full of nostalgia for their country and home. However, the current singers no longer express their love for national literature nakedly. Just like the style of the lyrics of their love songs, they are often as euphemistic as Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poem. Taiwanese singer You Hongming's "Tired Birds and Remaining Flowers" euphemistically expresses his feelings: The snowflakes along the road are like rain/But my heart is sentimental and speechless/You can wear clothes in cold weather/It is difficult to seek medical treatment for heart disease/Tobacco is depressed when you cross your shoulders/No matter how strong you are, There are teardrops/Yesterday’s removal from the street/Today there are only traces left/Why are you so quiet/Wake up old dreams every day/Cover your sweet pillow with attachment/Tangled up in the unintentional sleep/We are like tired birds and lingering flowers/We are helpless and knotted with thousands of hearts Thousands of things that pull my heart into circles/circle my thoughts/and disturbing sorrows/the tired birds just disperse/how can the remaining flowers not be messy/how can the remaining flowers not be messy/. The young group has their own songs. The youthful atmosphere of male singers is not enough to express love. In some songs that express their musical ambitions and positive attitude towards life, they will also borrow some from the ancients. Just like Hu Yanbin's "Beautiful Beauty", it seems that he has transformed himself into a dashing knight, looking forward to the beauty's smile, not wanting the country but only the beauty.

As for mainland China, which is the foundation of Chinese studies, the most prominent feature of mainland retro songs in recent years is that they incorporate more of the quintessence of Chinese culture - opera.

Gao Jin’s new song “Lotus Pavilion” follows this path: In March, by the lake in front of flowers and under the moon/Who makes love in the pipa room with the sound of poetry reciting/The ancient road courtyard is reflected in the landscape / The falling flowers are floating, your smile is drunken beauty / The moon has fallen and the crows have gone far / Looking at the bright moon makes you too nostalgic / Are the flowers too fragrant or make me miss / Time seems to stay in this year / (Peking Opera) Treat wine as song Leaving tears of lovesickness/Looking out the window at the falling rain/Don’t ask what is right or wrong/My tears in the rain in the south of the Yangtze River fall into my heart/That night on the broken bridge, I was alone and unaccompanied by greetings/Willow flowers dancing on the shore in the blue sky/One o’clock It dazzled my heart/…I have dreamed of you for thousands of times/I wish I could fly together for the rest of my life/

In addition, Wei Chen’s "Youth Travel" also has the same meaning: Who is the girl in the waiting room? Miss/The sound of the piano quietly touches my heartstrings/I look forward to seeing each other/I place paper kites in front of her door every day/But we meet by chance in the vast sea of ??people/Wear through all the iron shoes/Only in a moment/Destined to fall between your eyebrows/(Peking Opera) Beauty Youth / The entanglement planted in the past life / The red thread of marriage / Inviting you to be together in this world / After listening to it, I couldn't help but think of the artistic conception of "you can't find a place through iron shoes" and "looking back suddenly, that person is in the dim light".

The similarities between the two songs reveal another new feature of mainland popular retro songs: most of the songs are stories about beauties and talents from the south of the Yangtze River. After all, that is the beautiful effect that the singer wants, mountains, Water, beauty. The sounds of pipa, xiao and guzheng added to the song have become a catalyst to enhance the classical atmosphere.

Different from Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, mainland singers are more like elegant scholars who have read poetry and books, while most Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are passionate romantic talents. The inner show has the advantage of being an inner show, being subtle and neither exaggerated nor exaggerated. Recently, a new original singer has written lyrics that are quite innovative. He was probably in his 20s. Out of his love for literature, especially the richness and innovation of imagination, he wrote a batch of songs called "Palace" lyrics. So, the name "Huxian" came into my mind. He wrote a song called "Kunming Lake": Traveling in spring and forgetting three thousand miles/Sending the lake to Kunming to meet the rain/Wrong to be the Su Di/Throwing a piece of green beside the thin lake with light shadows/Newly torn green silk and satin clothes/If you make a mistake, take the wrong ride The beauty of spring/Seventeen lines from the shore of Kunming/Poetry is crowded/Cloud tea and plain eyebrows are waiting for the water to come/Two millimeters of spring spirit penetrate into the heart of the lake/Farewell is silent/Keep it in mind/Spring comes in full bloom, spring returns without mentioning love/Lake embraces mountains and rivers Hall/My heart lives in Kunming/I disguise myself as a tea horse to send you away/Kunming turns around and the lake turns to tears/I want to send my heart to spring/One more warmth/The catkins hidden last year are already precious/I can melt them into ice when I miss you unpreparedly Tears/ It can be seen that his writing style is relatively delicate and graceful. But the wording is a bit "floating" and fails to grasp the core. What emotion does the poet want to express? It seems that before listening to the song, you have to put in some effort to gain insight. Therefore, words that are too obscure will inevitably become like the current batch of useless articles.

In fact, music and poetry were originally very close, but as they matured independently, the conflict between "sound" and "meaning" gradually intensified. "The poet feels that the melody of the score may restrict the free expression of language. A perfect poem often resists the constraints of music, and those second-rate poems are more likely to belong to music. Real poetry chooses language. Especially in the increasingly complex social history and the expression of human beings As the language system of consciousness becomes increasingly rich, getting rid of the shackles of music becomes an increasingly strong desire in the development of poetry." ("Technology, Machinery and Lyrical Form" - Professor Nan Fan's lecture at East China Normal University). It seems that it is often difficult to write classical lyrics for popular songs, because the lyricist must not only retain the original beauty of the poem, but also consider its suitability for the rhythm. The most important thing is that the music cannot restrict the emotional catharsis that the poem brings. Otherwise, the poem will not be like poetry, and the music will not be like music. Therefore, looking at the music scene, I personally feel that Hong Kong and Taiwan’s use of ancient music is better.

It also writes about longing for family. Compare Jay Chou's "Lady" with "September" by a new mainland singer:

"Lady": Come back after a jug of good wine A bowl of hot porridge with a few kilograms of beef/I asked if the three taels of silver in the store are enough/The scenery is full of autumn and the yellow sand has cooled down/The inn in Saibei is crowded with people and the grass is there, but my horse is a little thin/The world is clear and the tide rises in the rivers and lakes What grudges and mistakes have ebbed away/It still makes people sad and heartbroken after many years/My wife is waiting for me in the south of the Yangtze River/Crying and talking in silence/My wife still breaks a branch of willow every day/At the mouth of the stream outside the small village/Silently there Waiting for me/My parents in my hometown are already old/My dear, I owe you so much/

"September": The weather is getting colder/The ground is covered with yellow leaves/How much melancholy lingers/Autumn wind So why not / The fragrance of chrysanthemums in September / The wild geese traveling south / How many longings can’t be taken away / The shadow drinks the fragrance of flowers / Climb high and look up on September 9 / Where are the brothers / The moon is cold in a foreign land / Who is by my side /

There is no distinction between the two, but Zhou's poems are more touching because he describes a rich scene. The advantages of "The Lady" are like the characteristics of Song Dynasty poems, which pay more attention to the inner feelings. The expression of emotion is no longer a classical way of simply expressing emotions through scenery. Although the material of "Lady" is small, the emotions are very delicate, and the details make the words more real. The more true the words, the more the listeners can hear it in their hearts. However, "September" only uses autumn scenery to express the feeling of lovesickness, which seems a bit cliché.

The penetration of classical poetry in popular songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan is obviously greater than that in mainland China. The reason why there is a saying on the Internet: "This may also be related to the popularity of classical martial arts dramas and historical dramas in Hong Kong.

On the other hand, it attaches great importance to the penetration of Cantonese language and culture. The lyrics are mostly based on the Cantonese dialect's word and sentence construction. Cantonese itself is also called vernacular, and its language style is very similar to classical Chinese. Therefore, many Hong Kong lyricists' works , often combining elegance and vulgarity. But it must also be admitted that many lyricists in Hong Kong have a profound foundation in ancient culture. Many references can be seen in their works, and they even use the writing methods of Tang poetry and Song lyrics to create their works. ” In short, the background and atmosphere give the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene the most dynamic space for development.

As for the current pop music scene, the mainland still has not caught up with Hong Kong and Taiwan quickly, and the reasons are complicated. In terms of the penetration of ancient poetry , in my opinion, a few simple points: First of all, most of the mainland lyricists are young singers themselves. Although they can write at least it shows that their writing skills are not bad, but when it comes to ancient studies, it is a donkey or a horse that has to be taken out for a walk. But not everyone is good at walking. Many people want to walk, but they can't write. What should they do? They can only "do it", which in itself reduces the artistic value. Value. There are a group of people in Hong Kong and Taiwan who can write. Many singers do not write their own songs, but have a support group of poets. The poets also have a high spirit of entertainment. They like to put their own words into popular music in mainland China. , people who can write poetry probably despise it, thinking that they are not doing their job properly and only focus on creating.

In addition, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have a strong romantic atmosphere. This may be related to their living atmosphere. The integration of culture and modern life, so many lyrics are not only classical, but also reveal modern romance. Take the lyrics of Jay Chou's famous song "East Wind Breaks" as an example: A lamp of separation and loneliness stands in the window/I pretend that you are still alive behind the door. I haven’t left/The old place is even more lonely like revisiting the full moon/The sober candlelight in the middle of the night can’t bear to criticize me/It’s hard to swallow a pot of wandering and wandering around the world/After you left, the wine warmed me and I missed you so much/How can you steal time when water flows eastward/Flowers bloom I matured just once, but I missed it/Who was playing a Dongfeng Po song on the pipa/The years are peeling off the wall and I saw my childhood/I still remember that we were still very young/But now the sound of the piano is faint and my waiting has not been heard/Who Then play the east wind break on the pipa/The maple leaves dye the story and I can see through the ending/I will lead you through the ancient road outside the fence/In the old days of smoke and grass, even breakups are silent/Although it is an antique atmosphere, but Don’t sentences like “I’ll lead you through the ancient road outside the fence” and “In these days of smoke and grass, even breakups are silent” have a modern romantic flavor?

However, they are not popular. It must be good. We have to admit that there are also a number of excellent works that have been killed at the starting line of popularity by distorted public opinion. After all, the popular retro songs that are widely sung today have their own merits, so personal opinions aside, This group of young male singers are passing on the old Chinese culture in a popular way. Regardless of whether they play well or not, at least they are valuable if they are produced. We, the ancestors, never want the fruits of their labor to be "destroyed" or promoted. "No one cares about it." We can't eat raw vegetables, but we can also use technology to produce "green vegetables" with new nutrients.
