What does it mean when the rain gently hits the vermilion window?

The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brushstrokes, which are thicker and lighter

The peonies depicted on the bottle are just like your first makeup (metaphor)

The sandalwood is slowly shining through the window. I understand (transformation)

Having written half of the pen on the rice paper

The charm of the lady's picture rendered in glaze is hidden (transformation)

And your beautiful smile is like In bud, waiting to bloom (metaphor)

A ray of your beauty (reprint) drifts to a place I can’t go (transformation)

The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain, and I am waiting for you

The smoke from the kitchen rises thousands of miles across the river (exaggeration)

The Han official script at the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty (transformation)

Just think of me as The foreshadowing of meeting you (transformation)

The sky is waiting for misty rain and I am waiting for you (similarity)

The moonlight was salvaged and fainted and the ending (transformation)

Just like the blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself

Your eyes are smiling (the upper and lower lines form a rhetorical relationship of inversion and metaphor)

The white and blue koi fish are jumping. On the bottom of the bowl (copying)

While copying the Song style inscription, I was thinking about you

The secret you have hidden in the kiln for thousands of years (exaggeration)

Extremely delicate, like The embroidery needle fell to the ground (metaphor)

The plantains outside the curtain provoked the shower and the door knocker provoked the patina (transformation, copying)

And I passed by that Jiangnan town and provoked you (three lines in two lines) The sentences use rhetoric of parallelism and analogy)

In splash-ink landscape paintings, you are hidden from the depth of the ink (transformation)

Rhetorical explanation of blue and white porcelain

For example: For example, "The secret you have hidden in the kiln for thousands of years is extremely delicate, like an embroidery needle falling to the ground." "The secret you have hidden in the kiln for thousands of years is extremely delicate" is the "metaphor"; "; "The embroidery needle fell to the ground" is "Yi". From the perspective of the principle of "using imagination to illustrate or describe abstract things with concrete and familiar things", imagination cleverly connects "delicate secrets" and "embroidery needles falling to the ground", showing subtle differences between each other. Relationship: The "secret hidden in the kiln for thousands of years" is so delicate that it is carefully protected, lest it be broken by a touch, just like an embroidery needle dropped to the ground. It is so light and subtle, but a little bit small. Danger. And sentences such as "The peonies depicted on the bottle are just like your first makeup", "Your beautiful smile is like a bud waiting to bloom," "Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, taking care of its own beauty, your eyes are smiling" are also complete expressions of metaphor. .

Leiduo: Douhe can not only harmonize the tone, but also strengthen the meaning of the words. "The word "provoke" is used three times in two sentences. The word "provoke" means to actively provoke, making "basho" and "knocker", two originally passive images, seem to be alive. Basho no longer He just resigned himself to the sudden rain, and the door knocker no longer passively waited for the patina to be dyed, and then compared it with the next line "And I pissed you off when I passed by the southern town", the whole scene became even more alive. The third paragraph and the beginning of the fourth paragraph "The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you" are similar sentences.

Transformation: The most commonly used one in the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" is transformation, such as "The sandalwood slowly passes through the window and I understand my thoughts", "The glaze color renders the charm of the lady's picture and is hidden", "At the bottom of the bottle The calligraphy of Han Dynasty imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty", "The moonlight is salvaged and blurs the ending", "In the splash-ink landscape painting, you are hidden from the depth of ink", "The bananas outside the curtain cause the shower door knocker to cause the patina" Waiting sentences. "A wisp of your beauty drifts away, going to places I can't go" is also a transformation. In this sentence, "beauty" is materialized and becomes a wisp of mist that can float in the air, traveling to a place where the protagonist of the story is. Inaccessible places. Beauty is gone. The boundaries between people and things are blurred here, and the meaning of the words has become profound and complex.

Parallelism: "The bananas outside the curtain provoked the shower and the door knocker provoked the patina, and I passed by that Jiangnan town and provoked you" is to use two or more syntaxes with similar structures to express the same idea, showing the sentence The sense of rhythm and rhythm enhance the appeal of the meaning of the word and strengthen the image of "provoke".

(Another version of this sentence was said by Chai Shizong of Zhou Dynasty after the Five Dynasties.) But later I gave up using Ru Kiln as the title of the song, not only because its characteristics are not suitable for lingering and pathos love, but the name of Ru Kiln is not poignant enough. After several twists and turns, the title of the song was finally determined to be "Blue and White Porcelain", which was first fired in the Tang Dynasty and has been the most representative export art in early China for more than a thousand years. When I decided on the lyrics of "The sky is blue waiting for misty rain", I quickly wrote down the second line of the chorus "And I'm waiting for you", and the key words in the first line of the chorus were born: " The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you." Because the azure color described in my lyrics cannot appear on its own. It must wait patiently for the rain that will come at an unknown time before it can appear as azure color in the clear sky when the cumulus clouds have dispersed. Because the sky will appear blue only after it rains and the sky clears. It rains first before the sky becomes blue. But I would say the other way around, if you want to see the sky blue, you can only wait for it to rain first. Also, the reason why "Misty Rain" is used instead of "Raining" is purely because the artistic conception of "Misty Rain" is more beautiful. And I use the sentence "The sky is blue and waiting for misty rain" to contrast with the more colloquial sentence "And I am waiting for you". I use two words "waiting" in a row to emphasize that the most powerless helplessness in love is "waiting". To put it in prose style: "How can we ordinary people control the unpredictable weather? If we want to see the pure sky washed by the rain, we can only wait patiently for the rain to stop naturally. It’s like I can only passively and quietly wait for you who will appear no matter when.” This blue and white porcelain also contains the plant “plantain” that rarely appears in the lyrics. This is actually because of my personal feelings about the word “plantain”. I have an inexplicable love for this plant and have a special liking for it. Just like the coconut tree reminds people of southern Taiwan, the palm tree is equivalent to the passionate beach, and the scene of the cactus is naturally in the desert. Somehow, for "banana", I naturally think of Suzhou in the misty Jiangnan in the Song Dynasty. Linyuan. For example, in Li Yu's Sauvignon Blanc, "... there are many autumn winds and gentle rain. There are three or two banana trees outside the curtain, but the night is long and people can't help it." In fact, as long as you carefully observe the plants that often appear in Song Dynasty poems, the frequency of "banana" appears is still high. Quite high. In addition, the famous Japanese haiku poet Matsuo Basho also took Basho as his alias, which gave Basho a literati temperament for his tree planting.

Also by the way, the use of the word "re" in the lyrics is from the famous saying of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand; originally, there is no tree. The experience gained from "nothing, no matter where to stir up dust". Because "where is the dust" actually can also be written as "where is the dust", or "where is the dust", but because the semantics of stain and dye are not as strong as "to provoke", stain and dye are just It is a word used for contact with other things, but the word "provoke" means to provoke uninvited people. It is very proactive, more aggressive and dramatic. For this reason, I use "the door knocker offends you" instead of "the door knocker is stained with patina". In another line of lyrics, I also use "and I passed by that Jiangnan town and 'provoked' you" instead of "and I passed by that Jiangnan town. The town 'meets' you" is the same thing. In fact, I have already used the word "provoke" in "Flower Love Butterfly" by "Nanquan Mama". In the first verse of the lyrics, "Gloomy years, floating life comes and goes, the screen provokes the setting sun...", I use "screen" "Cause" the setting sun means that the light entering the house is blocked by the screen when the sun sets, instead of "blocking the setting sun".

Finally, as for the meaning of the word "the plantains stir up the shower door knockers and stir up the patina", let me explain it in a few words; after a heavy rain, the garden is full of green, and the air is full of moisture. Water vapor, crystal raindrops rolling on the banana leaves, this scene is the most poetic at this time; and the copper ring that is still embedded in the door panel after being blown by wind, frost, wind and rain, but with more rust and mottled, is the most ancient. meaning. I first used the classical Chinese phrase "The plantain provoked the shower door knocker and the patina" to capture the scene, and then moved on to the next more colloquial paragraph "And I provoked you when I passed by that Jiangnan town" as a counterpoint.

Because the plantain and the door knocker are both static objects, they can only passively wait for the showers and wait for the patina to slowly oxidize after years of erosion; but the personal pronoun "I" is different from the plantain and the door knocker, because "I" can be free. It's mobile, so I happened to meet you through a small town in Jiangnan and "provoked" you. I didn't passively wait for you, but took the initiative to get to know you. Therefore, although the verb "provoke" is also used, its activeness and passivity are completely different. Moreover, in this passage, I used the word "provoke" three times in a row. The meaning of the word is the same, but the usage is different, which is very interesting. All in all, writing this song was very hard, but also very fulfilling.

Introduction

Song: Chrysanthemum Terrace (theme song of the movie "A City of Gold")

Singer: Jay Chou

Album : Still Fantasy

Tune Number: 10

Composer: Jay Chou Lyricist: Fang Wenshan Arranger: Chung Xingmin Producer: Jay Chou Guitar: Cai Kejun Again String Composer: Chung Xingmin Programmer : Wei Baiqian String Orchestra: China Philharmonic Recording Project: Yang Ruidai Recording Studio: ALFA STUDIO Mixing Project: Yang Dawei Mixing Studio: Yang Dawei Recording Studio String Recording Engineers: Li Yuesong (Beijing), Wei Baiqian (Taipei) String Recording Studio: Planned Parenthood Recording Studio (Beijing) Room19 Studio (Taipei)

The theme song of the movie "The City of Gold" co-starred by Jay Chou, Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li. The clean guitar and vicissitudes of string music paint a beautiful picture of Gong Li before her death in the movie. Fang Wenshan's Chinese-style lyrics have reached new heights! The poem-like lyrics, north wind, chrysanthemums, and rain, describe the heartfelt sadness and unruly fate. Jay Chou also used a different delicate voice and enunciation singing method, paired with a simple but beautiful arrangement, Sing the poignant Chrysanthemum Stage.

"Chrysanthemum Terrace" is Jay's another hearty performance after "East Wind Breaks" and "Hair Like Snow". In this song, Jay flexibly uses cello, cucurbits, Guzheng, guitar and other Chinese or Western musical instruments have long and lingering melody, which adds a desolate and graceful mood to the song, and the touch of sadness that is sentimental but not decadent is even more wonderful. At the end of the song, silence is better than sound at this time. . Paired with Fang Wenshan's majestic yet sad and euphemistic lyrics, it exaggerates to the extreme the special pathos of the heroes in troubled times in the movie "A City of Golden Armor".

"Chrysanthemum Terrace" is still full of Jay Chou's personality, and this unique style also adds to Jay Chou's attempts in movies during this period. The combination of music and movies makes this new album even more unique.

The ending song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" tailor-made by Jay Chou for the film, the whole song is full of dramatic emotions, sentimental and touching. "Your tears are soft and yet hurtful, and the pale moon curves around the past." The sad tone and clear articulation of the lyrics also broke the doubts that many people had previously worried that Jay Chou's singing voice was too young and not suitable for the style of the entire film.

"Chrysanthemum Terrace" and Yuansheng's "Thousands of Miles Away". When JAY introduced it, he said that the Chinese style of this album was "Thousands of Miles Away", but it was not the case. Perhaps this is a necessary copycat, "Chrysanthemum Terrace" combined with "City of Golden Armor" to attract the public's attention.

Some people say: The lyrics are touching, subtle and sad, and combined with JAY's unique Chinese classical music style, it can be called a classic song, surpassing "East Wind Breaks" and "Hair Like Snow". I disagree that the style of music is better than the first two, but this song can indeed be called Fang Wenshan's pinnacle work.

"Your tears are soft and hurt, and the pale moon crescent hooks the past"

The crescent moon: from Song Anonymous's "The crescent moon shines on Kyushu, several Happy and sad."

"The night is too long and the frost has condensed into the cold despair in the attic"

Attic: From Li Yu's "Speechless, I went up to the west building alone, The moon is like a hook, the lonely phoenix tree locks the autumn in the deep courtyard."

"The rain gently flicks the vermilion window, and my life is blown by the wind on the paper."

The vermilion window. : From Mao Pang's "The small bridal chamber with red windows and green doors, the freshly pressed jade grains are tender and goose-yellow, and the half-green oranges are pitiful and fragrant." Future generations will comment on the merits and demerits of the ages.

Thousands of years later, your body will turn into dust, and your descendants will all be gone. Who will remember your greatness back then? Being able to write down one's life on paper and pass it down to future generations is enough to prove one's greatness. However, Qingfeng is illiterate, so why bother flipping through books. No matter how majestic you were during your lifetime, you will be unable to do anything about the breeze after your death.

"Dreams turn into a wisp of incense in the distance and float in the wind to your appearance"

A wisp of incense: from "A Dream of Red Mansions" "Softly lined with spring grass, softly trailing a wisp of incense." Some people say that the dream turned into a wisp of wounds in the distance, but that’s not true. Combined with the following sentence? Drifting away in the wind? Your appearance. He knew that a strong man was far away, and when his ambitions met, a vision appeared in his subconscious, as if he saw the appearance of a beautiful woman.

"The flowers have fallen towards the evening, and the fate of the world is miserable in the bright and withered world"

Xiang Wan: from Li Shangyin's "Xiang Wan was also unwell and drove to Guyuan." Some people say that it is a flower. They also hold each other and the brilliance falls. It originally made sense. It said that two people's hearts are so beautiful that they will never be separated. But combined with the second sentence "The fate is miserable in the withering world", we know that it should be "the flower is late". It's late autumn, the flowers are withering, my sweetheart is about to go on an expedition, I'm worried! worry! worry!

"Don't cross the river to tear your autumn heart in half. I'm afraid you won't be able to get to the shore and will be shaken for the rest of your life."

Autumn heart is split in two: from Wu Wenying's "Where can sorrow be synthesized? Leave the heart and go to autumn." ." Using the technique of splitting the characters, the word "sorrow" is separated, and the words "autumn" and "heart" are exactly the portrayal of the scene. In ancient poetry, "autumn" often refers to the hope of reunion and the feeling of loneliness and separation, while "heart" happens to be a true portrayal of the wife, so the scenes blend together without leaving any trace.

"The sound of horses' hooves in the country is crazy, and my military uniform is roaring with vicissitudes"

The sound of horses' hooves is crazy: from Shi Wenhui's "The talented scholar in Wuling has new brocade robes, and the horse's hooves are trampling Qiong Yao grass" "This sentence is recognized as a favorite among men on the Internet. As the old saying goes, "The king, the minister, the minister", if the king wants his minister to die, he must die! Only by riding the horse and whipping the whip and dying will one achieve a lifetime of fame!

"When the sky is slightly bright, you sigh softly, a night of melancholy is so euphemistic"

A night of melancholy: from Zhang Bi "Day dreams are caused by melancholy, and night sorrows are mostly caused by separation." The gentle sigh is as melodious as the sound of a piano, containing helplessness, affection, and melancholy...

"The chrysanthemums are all over the ground, your smile has turned yellow, the flowers have fallen, and my heart is broken. My thoughts flow quietly"

Heartbroken: from Ma Zhiyuan, "Withered vines and old trees, crows are dim, people's homes are under small bridges and flowing water, the ancient road is westerly and the horses are thin, the sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world." People are thinner than yellow flowers! People are thinner than yellow flowers! ! . "Chrysanthemum" in ancient times not only meant parting, but also meant missing and mourning. This sentence uses the rhetorical technique of "synaesthesia" to confuse the "yellow of chrysanthemums" with the "yellow of smiles", but it is natural and profound. It makes people feel that the warm smile is gradually fading and going away. Sad and touching emotions are revealed naturally.

"The north wind is turbulent in the night, and your shadow keeps cutting, leaving me alone in pairs on the lake."

Ye Weiyang: from "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Ting Liao" "How is the night?" The night is still young. The court is burning with light. When the gentleman comes, the sound of the luan will come. "The lyrics just came out are: "The leaves are swaying slightly in the north wind, leaving me alone as frost on the lake." At that time, I thought it should be Ye Weiyang. The last night before parting is always the most precious. If it were during the day, there would be less sorrow and more hesitation in ambition! Frost on the lake is a very good saying, it means turning into a watchful stone, independent in the cold autumn. Fang Wenshan wrote "double", which is even more wonderful! Reflected in the lake, only it is paired with me, so helpless and resentful. The master is indeed something that we, the common people, can’t even hope to match.

Music Review

The Renaissance in the 16th century admired ancient Greece, the Romanticism in the 19th century longed for the Middle Ages, and the Romantics in the 20th century What about today? ! Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan trace the simplicity and simplicity of Chinese classical art - "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is about to come out, and the pure Chinese style is gradually coming.

What is purity? When I first listened to "Chrysanthemum Terrace", I suspected that the singer was not Jay Chou. It was not until the high notes in the climax that I recognized the classic Zhou style high notes. Undoubtedly, the singing style has changed and become more restrained. What surprised me was not only the singing, but also the opening of the strings. Strings are a classic part of Western classical music. Jay used his super talent to make the strings have a Chinese flavor. This is the success of the arrangement. What’s special: Strings then enter traditional Chinese musical instruments, and there’s actually no awkwardness at all. The presence and absence of clappers in the arrangement also made me marvel at the watertight production. Only the Chinese clappers can accurately evoke the sadness of Jiangnan minor. The musical instrument Hulusi at the end of the song seems to be the sound of a sheng when listening quietly.

Let’s talk about the lyrics. "Falling flowers are speechless, and people are as pale as chrysanthemums." Perhaps this is the reason why Wenshan named Chrysanthemum Terrace. It is precisely the age when the flowers fall under this book by Xian Nong - "It will never end, and the past will be new." ".

Fang Wenshan supplements and enriches the imagery of the lyrics based on his own understanding and feelings, making the picture of the song dynamic and still, jumping and transitioning, smart and natural, and the emotional curve has ups and downs, making the artistic conception bright and dark. , to interpret the rapidly changing emotions, rather than saying it as lyrics, it is better to call it "poetry", a perfect classical rhyme poem without makeup. The poem makes full use of the combination of virtuality and reality. "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is not a simple feeling and reaction to reality, but a concentrated expression of emotions in the aesthetic grasp of the situation! The coexistence of virtuality and reality creates a unique realm, which is exactly the ideal realm of Chinese poetry - the true realm is approaching and the divine realm is born.

"The chrysanthemums are all over the ground, hurting your smile. They have turned yellow, and the flowers have fallen into pieces. My heart is broken, and my thoughts are flowing quietly." The whole scene is shrouded in it, permeating with a layer of boundless melancholy. The scenes are intertwined, forming a beautiful scene. .

"The north wind disturbs Ye Weiyang and your shadow keeps cutting, leaving me alone in pairs on the lake." Someone asked me today what "Ye Weiyang" means. How many people only know that Yang's explanation is Center and plea, how many people know that the original meaning of "center" is termination and completion? Marvel at Wenshan's attainments in ancient poetry. There is a famous sentence in Cao Pi's "Yan Ge Xing": "Stars in the Han Dynasty flow to the west and the night is still young", which all come from the same source.

Perhaps only Wenshan’s words can make people feel that words are no longer thin, and Jay Chou’s voice makes us feel the power of words! I dare to use four words to describe this singing: the aftertaste is inclusive! All I can say is that the difference from the previous pronunciation is undoubtedly much more precise. The singing style has become more aesthetic. The mastery of syllables no longer has cool sharp turns down and up, but has been changed to a smooth and gradual progression, giving People with smooth and natural meaning. But the treble is still very high. In the aesthetic crooning, the real space becomes simple, and the time process can be extended horizontally. If Wenshan's lyrics rely on virtuality, then Jay Chou's singing is close to reality. The virtuality and reality are combined and mutually reinforcing each other at the same time, but they are inseparable. This is the essence of Chinese classical art, this is Chinese style!

Chinese style can borrow elements from other music, and can also use musical instruments from other countries. The most important thing is that it clearly reflects the Chinese flavor.

Chinese style is oriented to the world and is music that surprises the world. Even Chinese style can be developed not by the Chinese, but by the world, just like the Chinese rock music, music has no national boundaries! Chinese culture has a profound influence on world music, producing the "world's Chinese style".

Top 3 classic sentences from "Chrysanthemum Terrace"

No. 3: "Sorrow is not the only way to cross the river and split your autumn heart in two"

Use the word-splitting technique to divide "sorrow" Looking at the words separately, "Autumn" and "Heart" are exactly the portrayal of the scene. In ancient poetry, "autumn" often refers to the hope of reunion and the feeling of loneliness and separation, while "heart" happens to be a true portrayal of the wife, so the scenes blend together without leaving any trace. This sentence is a perfect word sentence.

No. 2: "Dreams turn into a wisp of fragrance in the distance"

Men must build a career, but since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been dilemmas, long-missing wives, and endless worries How to choose the battlefield of fame? The answer is not given in the lyrics. Connecting with the previous sentence "My life is on paper" means that fame lies in the command map of the battlefield and the emperor's promotion list. The last sentence "your appearance is blown away by the wind" seems to refer to his dream of his wife at home. This contradictory mood is vividly reflected in this sentence, which can be called a wonderful sentence.

No. 1: "The chrysanthemums are all over the ground, hurting your smile and turning yellow."

When the chrysanthemums wither, they fall naturally and are trampled by others, and those who have not seen them for a long time The image of his wife was already blurry in the general's mind. "Chrysanthemum" in ancient times not only meant parting, but also meant missing and mourning. This sentence uses the rhetorical technique of "synaesthesia" to confuse the "yellow of chrysanthemums" with the "yellow of smiles", but it is natural and profound. It makes people feel that the warm smile is gradually fading and going away. The sad and touching emotions are expressed naturally, which can be called a quatrain.
